GREAT TRACTION ENGINE.

new kind OF giant traction engine
has been construed. by means of
which men can now travel from end
to end of the terrible Death valley and
the Mojaye desert. in the Far West.
There is no water in those arid re-
Eions. Again and again men tried to
explore the Death valley, but horses
and mules fell dead in the air of fire.
Enough water could be carried for
men, but not enough for the horses.
Now the difficulty is overcome by
the enormous traction engine, which
runs on wheels five feet in width and
carries great tanks of water 1t is
5arnessed to a train of large trucks
and can run almost independently of
roads. The vast quantities of salt and
Dorax. which up to the present time
no one has been able to reach, are now
hauled cut by this railway train.
Few people who buy salt and boray
know that they may have been brought
from the heart of the Death valley.

cured.
She had tried physician after physician.

| Her treatment had cost her husband. who
was poor man. hundreds of dollars. They
had been obliged to deny themselves many
comforts of life in order to get money
enough to pay tho physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched. and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were grow
ing up neglected and ragged because of tho
| want of mothers care. Her husband
was becoming discouraged and breien
down with overwork.
