Macndam Machines

The construction of macadam roads
on Il large. scale has naturally i'm.
parted great impetus to the develop
ment of rock crushing apparatus. The
first steel rock crusher was built ten
years ago and gradual Improvement
has since gone hand in hand with an
Increase Of capacity. The most mod
ern plants not only crush the stone
but elevate it and separate it into sizes.
The stone crushers weigh from two
to eight tons each, require for their
operation engines Of from twelve to
twenty-five horse power and give q
product of from eight TO thirty tons
of crushed stone per hour For
separating the crushed stone into diff
fereht sizes road makers usually use
a portable storage bin which weighs
2500 pounds and has three compart-
ments, each of which will hold four
tons of stone, and when are provided
with discharging chutes on either side
so that wagons can load from both
sides If necessary. For separating
the crushed material into various sizes
screens of different types are avail
able One OF the most interesting
forms of this apparatus,is the revolv-
ing screen, which revolves ON either
shaft or on rollers and into which
the stone passes. Some of these
screens are fifty-six inches in diamter,
and inasmuch as each screen is
punched with holes Of two different
sizes. three different Sizes of product
are obtained, one size passing through
the one-inch holes, q second size pass
ing through the two-inch holes, and
the largest size passing OUT OF the end
Of the screen.

is always kept saturated with the
favorite perfume of the wcarer. This

More Harmful
Than Alcohol
0Vereating Worst Form
Of IntemperanCe.

1fyOur food is undigested. you are un-
derfed, 10 matter how much you eat.
And the underfed man is, to the extent
Of the undertaking, crippled for the
battle Of life. On the other hand,
there is such a thing as oTereating.
The harm done by Indigestion caused
by overloaded stomachs exceeds that
from the increased heart beats caused
by the use OF alcohol or whiskey.
Eat as much good food as you need
but don't overload the stomach. II
your stomach is weak il may refuse to
digest what you eat. Then you ought
TO use a good digestant like KodOl Dys-
pepsia Cure, which digests what you
eat without the stomach's aid. This
rest and the wholesome tonics con-
tanned in KOdOl Dyspepsia Cure soon
restore health. You don't have TO diet.
Don't eat too much That's harmful.
But eat enough and Of sufficient varie-
". KOdol Dyspepsia Cure will digest
it, 1t quickly relieves the sensation
OF fitness and blUating from which
some people suffer after meals. II
prevents belching and absolutely cures
Indigestion and other stomach troub-
les. Equally good for children.
