Machine Feeder For
Job Printing Presses

Los Angeles, Nov. 4.-Percy F. Rice,
u Tustin youth, has invented a prac-
teal device for feeding and delivering
paper to and from job presses. He has
Just received the assurance that a pat
ent will be granted him in Washington
on his device.
The mechanical feeding and deliv-
cry device is a small and comparatively
inexpensive attachment for job press
es, its principal parts being two hol-
low tubes. with five fingers each, joint
ed like human members, and SO ad-
justed as to work with the same reach
ing and rctracting movement as the
human arm. The finger tips are hol-
low. and through the function OF a
vacuum pump attached nj the foot OF
the press, paper adheres to the tips
the moment they touch 1t, and is re-
leased. according to a device OF the in
vontor, as soon as the arm retracts,
and desCcnds on the delivery platform.
The whole device is gcarcd directly
from the press, and hardly any extra
power is necessary to operate it, The
ghOstly arms are removable by sim
pie twist OF the thumb, and can he laid
aside temporarily so as not to inter
fere with the placing OF type. The
device makes II possible for one man
to operate six Job presses at the same
time.

that HOllins had settled the claims OF

WOODS INSTITUTE
AND WHAT
ITS PATRONS SAY

cit Is a curious fact that a very few
Of the people of Honolulu are satisfied
with their physical condition. A great
many find themselves growing stout,
while as many more are losing weight.
Here Is a problem which has long
been troubling the public and one
which has at last been solved by Prof.
II. A. Woods OF the Woods Institute.
He not only claims" to build you
up" or reduce your weight" but &c.
tually accompllshes the results. What
Is most remarkable Is the short space
of time in which these results take
place.
In order to convince the public that
he can do what he claims, Prof. Woods
has large number of testimonials
which he will be pleased to show any
one who may be concerned. These tes'
timonials are not from people who live
in some distant part Of the world, but
right here in the city.
George W. Hayselden says he never
felt better in all his life and recon.
mends the Institute and the course Of
instruction to every one.
G. Douglas Jones says that In six
weeks he has increased IL inches in
chest measurement, inch in biceps,
/ IL inches in forearm and has in
creased 10 pounds in weight
ID. l.. Peterson recommends the work
of the Institute to those who are los
ing weight and health from indigcs'
ton, constipation and other evils that
follow this condition. He has in
creased wonderfully in chest. biccps
forearm and neck measurement.
Peter Barron tcstifies to the great
value OF the Institute as a weight re
Queer When he went In he weighed
245 pounds and after three weeks, hi
was reduced to 2l7 pounds.
j. A. Colburn speaks in similar
strain as Mr. Barron.
Another astonishing fact quoted by
Prof. Woods is that women obtain re-
suits much more quickly than men
He attributes this TO the fact that
women are more faithful, take a great
err interest In their work, consequently
accomplish the results more rapidly
Any one can enroll In the classes
at any time. The old as well as tn,
young can take these exercises and {
person IL never 80 weak but that the,
can be strengthened by n systematic
course of physiological exercise.

METHooIsTs AND MoRMoNs.

Kansas city, Nov. G.-During an AID

said that the Methodist church ought
TO pay more attention to the extension
OF its work In Utah and the Southwest;
the Mormons have churches and en-
deavor to convert as many people as
possible 10 Mormonism. Bishos Fowler
predicted that the Mormons in q few
years would have the deciding voice
in the politics Of Utah, Wyoming. New
Mexico. Colorado and Nevada, and that
the question would present phase
more serious that did slavery half a
century ago.

satisfactory" said the Bishop. AS far
as | can see there are two factions to
blame. First. ourselves, as the COM
mittee on church extension. and sec
ond, the general committee OF the mis-
sionary society. The pittance given
Utah has been so small that the su-
perintendehts have been compelled to
pick up two by four men to 10 into
that field"
Bishop Fowler's statement was
brought out during the discussion OF
the amount OF money that should be-
authorized by the Methodist church for
the extension OF its work in Utah. He
followed Bishop Cranston. who said
that the church had practically failed
in its work in Utah because Of the
need OF money.
