BrAiA Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, it's nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, puriies the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..

A NEW DRILL
ING MACHINE

In the oil news of last week,
says the Mcdonald Record, we
mentioned III. w. Ranks new
drilling machine as having made
40 feet in Is hours. This was a
mistake, we have been informed.
1t should have read -65 feet in Is
hours, 40 feet of this being slate,
and in addition to this the ma
chine has a record of 100 feet in
81 hours; this means actual time
drilling and bailing, for the rec
ord was made in daylight work,
not running, as usual, "A hours.
This machine should be of vast
interest to oil country people gen.
orally, as the speed at $500 feet
is increased from II strokes per
minute with the manila line to 40
and A with the wire line and the
new way of handling it. The ma
chine is built to be great i'm
provement over the older method
of drilling and cleaning out deep
wells, the deeper the well the
greater the advantage in this new
method. 1t is very different from
the old way, as it does not require
any walking beam, the power be-
ing transmitted from the crank on
the band wheel shaft to a cylinder
bolted on the main sill of the rig.
There is another cylinder hanging
in the derrick, the two being con-
nected with a suitable hose. In
the engine house is an air pump
which is intended to supply COM
pressed air at a pressure high
enough to balance the tools and
the wire line used in the work.
In actual operation the machine
runs very smoothly, handling the
line so that it is always kept taut
and the air cushion on which it
works to get proper pickup
makes it very easy on the rig
and line. This is the third well
Mr.. Rank has completed at a
depth of 2,400 to $500 feet, all
being drilled from the Gordon
sand to below the fifth sand and
each one being finished without
any trouble with the machine or
line, and in quick time. There
certainly is large field awaiting
this new method and we antici-
pate seeing it used for all practi-
cal drilling operations in the near
future
