Ell Petr0le0 no es un susfituto
Del aceite de Higado

Durante la presente escasez de acei-
te de higado de bacalao. algunos in
dustriales han hecho grandes esfuer-
zos para popularizar en- provecho pro-

Bastante ridfculo es en- verdad, por
no califcarlo de otro modo, el asegu-
rar que el petr6leo puede substituir
al aceite de higado de bacalao.
La gran reputation de que goza Ell
aceite de higado de bacalao IS debida
q sus grandes propiedades nutritivas
a1imenticias En- verdad ell aceite
de higado de bacalao no solamente es
un alimento, sino que es el mejor ali
mento que Sc conoce en- Medicina Y
ain no Sc ha podido encontrar en- la
naturaleza otro alimento igual. y
anunciar Ell petr6leo como IN substi-
tuto del aceite de higado de bacalao
es atribuir al petroleo 8 parafina pro-
piedades que no tiene. Ell petr6leo ca
rece de la propiedad esencia1 de todo
alimento, es decir, la de ser asimila-
BILE. FL petr6leo 8 parafna no sola-
mente no es una substantial asimilable,
sino que cuandO Sc toma interiormente
es expelido en- su totalidad por las
evacuaciones intestinales, causando
indigestion, irritaci6n7 del estomago y
de los intestinos, Intermediates del hi
gado y del pancreas y con frecuencia
diarrea y desinteria.
La presente escasez del aceite de hi
gado de bacalao es I'm case sxcepciO-
nal que no durara mucho tempo, pero
que ha demostrado va la gran deman-
da que constantemente hay en- el mum
do por este producto alimenticio. Mi

Afortunadamente la mayor parte del
aceite de bacalao que Sc consume en-
Ell rnundo es administrado bajo la for
ma de Emulsion de Scott prepara-
da por los senores Scott & Bovine
Qufmicos de Nueva York, quienes de-
bido & sus muchOs amos de experien-

FL INVENTOR MAR|NONl

Marinoni era ell verdadero fipo de
selfnsade naaa. Hijo de un cabo de
gendarmes, entro en- la vida sin otra
arma que un genio inventive practico,
que debia hacer del aprendiz mecani-
co, 4 los 24 amos, un hombre celebre.
Gano todos sus grades i fuerza de
trabajo, pasando sucesivamente d of
cial Y luego q capataz de un pequeno
en- Paris, el cua1 debfa mas tarde
transformers en- uno de los mas
grandes establecimientos de construc-
cion de maquinas.
Parece que la idea dominante de
Marinoni fue en- todas sus invencio-
nes la aplicaci6n del dicho ingl6s
<Time is money!: ganar tempo es ga
mar dinero. Su primera invenci6n
fu6 una maquina para dollar los dia-
rios, en- cuya operacion Sc perdfan
muchas horas: ALI principiaron su
fana Y su fortuna.
El gran escollo con que tenfan que
luchar los periodicos para dar sus
lectores noticias de Ultima hora, era
la lentitud con que Sc hac1a la tirada.
Veneer este obstaculo fu6 siempre la
idea dominante de Marinoni. En-
1S47, de acuerdo con su patron, M.
Gaveau, ejecuto una primera maquina
chata de recci0n, con cuatro cilindros,
que Sc usa todav1a en- muchas impren-
tas que fue ell primer paso en- la i'm
preston rapida de los diarios. Esta
invenci6n llamo la atencion del cele-
bre publicista Emile de Girardin ha-
cia ell joven mecanico, quien alent6
ayudo con todos sus medios.
Despues de muchos ensayos de
muchas mejoras en- las diferentes ma
quinas de imprenta, Marinoni lego
combinar ell mecanismo de las prensas
rotativas, que con dos hombres y bo-
binas de papel continue, tiraron cua-
renta mil ejemplares por hora, 10 que
era IN progreso para Ell periodismo.
La primera funciono en- xLe Petit
Journals contribuyendo no POGO al
exito de este periodico, que tiene la
mayor tirada del mundo.
Inmediatamente despues de esta
revoluci6n en- el mundo periodfstico,
Marinoni sprepar6 otra con su prensa
rapida pol1croma, que permitio impri-
mir 20 mil nimeros por hora en- una
sola vez en- seis colores, hizo la
fortuna del supplement illustre du Pc
tit Journals que tir6 un million de
ejemplares.
Entire las otras prensas creadas 6
perfeccionadas por Marinoni, Sc de-
ben citar sus MAG uiusas para La impre-
sion de estampas y su maquina espe-
cial para la tirada de los billetes del
Banco de Francia.
Sus prensas rotativas tuvieron exi-
to universal y Sc encuentran en- donde
quiera que exista algdn periodico de
cierta importancia.
A Ia muerte de NJ. Jenty en- 1888,
Marinoni, dueno de una enorme for
tuna, tom6 la direction polftiea, lite

Marinoni como inventor, obtuvo
medalla en- todas las exposiciOnes V
estaba fuera de concurso desde 1889.
A solicitud de los principales repre-
sentantes de la prensa francesa fue
condecorado con La Legion de Honor
en- 1875, mas tarde recibio los grades
de Official y comendador.

Just at this juncture the father and son
began q bitter quarrel, which ended in
voluntary exile on the part Of the lat
ter. In his anger, the son, the prince
of to-day, renowned all. his titles and

and possibly ten or eleven people lost
their lives early this morning in the

was Quilted by FIRE last week. ns.eI,
he high wind of last night loosened
the bricks in the wall and tons of
bricks and stones crushed down upon
the roof Of the three-story hotel next
door. The roof carried through to the
basement carrying death and injury
before it. ~ 49,
Several people are missing and pre-
sumely are dead. Many Others were
injured but will live.
The crash came shortly after l o'clock.
Almost everyone in the hotel was asleep
Within one moment the entire hotel
building was a wreck with cruelty in.

In desperation for help and mercy
@ A number OF people who were asleep
at the time OF the accident and who
were not immediately in the path of

Mrs Maggie LeClaire; William Lily

foreman Daniels Linseed Oil company;
William Bray; William zimmerman,
who was sick in bed at the time of the

the act of desertion be at6ned for by
lawful discharge subsequently earned
by service, it seems probable that the
most healthful remedy practicable
would be applied to the evil and that the
esult would be surprisingly great. The
majority of deserters would return to
the colors at their own expense end
serve out their unexpired enlistment
contracts In order to receive lawful
discharge, which would reestablish
their civil status"
Gen. Chaffee says that inquiry of men
in guard houses on his tour of inspec-
ton elected no special reason for deser-
ton, the general reply being that army
life was not what had been anticipated.
He believes the adoption Of his uEges'
ton would relieve military prise is Of
two-thirds of their occupants.

for the large number of assertions, I
believe it to be 4 fact that much mex

panies affects this subject somewhat.
Character, habits, aptitude, differ wide

mechanical enforcement Of the articles
of war, that best harmonic these vary

constructs splendid barracks, fitted with
all modern appliances for health and
comfort. At no post is the fatigue duty
excessive speaking 1t is light
and, all in all. the soldier is getting
everything that under the laws could
in reason be asked. j.. - ::
For many years the numerous de-
sertions from the army have deeply in
terested the department, and seeming
ly every possible effort has been made
to discover an administrative cause.
No serious fault exists not inherent IN
man himself; therefore it Is not sus-
ceptible Of military control and cor
