To Get Rid of Smoke

A novel method of getting rid of
black smoke and at the same time turn
ing it to practical use is now being
adopted in some Belgian factories. The
smoke is driven by fans into a porous
receptacle. over which flows a stream
of petroleum or similar liquid. The
smoke is thus caught and turned into
gas that gives great heat and can be
used for running gas engines.

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, its 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, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..

A Wonder of Precocity.

Christian He.uecker was born at Luz
tack on the 9th of February, 1721.
When only ten months old he could re-
peat every word spoken to him. AT
twelve months of age he had memo
rized all the principal events in the
Pentateuch. Before he had finished
his second year OF existence he had
learned all the historical parts of both
the Old and the New Testament. At
the age Of three he could reply correct
ly to all questions put TO him regard
Ing universal history ana geography,
and in the same year he learned to
speak both Latin and French.
In his fourth year he employed his
time in studying religions. especially
the history Of the Christian church.
He was not only able to glDly repeat
all that he had read, but was also able
to reason with considerable Of judg.
ment and to give his own opinion OF
things in general. The k.l:g Of Den
mark wished to see this wonderful
child, so he was taken to Copenhagen.
After his return to Lubbock he learned
to write and was beginning on the
study of music and mathematics; but,
his constitution being very weak, he
took down and died on June q, 1928,
aged four years. four months and
twenty-one days What a wonderful
record for such short life!

the Democracy candidate for the
Presidency. His sterling adher-
ence to party had been so fully
avouched that it was nearly sup
posed that no action of the organ
ization would provoke his protest.
And now, while the Democratic
rank and file trembled and waited,
the voice of the quiet, reserved
and able man rang out above all
convention clamor, drowning the
roysterous hum of convention di-
plomacy. In tones of authority
and leadership the message went
forth:
II regard the gold standard
as firmly and irrevocably estab-
lished, and shall act accordingly
if the action of the convention to-
day shall be ratified by the people.
As the platform is silent on the
subject, my view should be made
known to the convention, and, if
it proved to be unsatisfactory to
the majority, I request you to de-
cline the nomination for me at
once, so that another may be NOM
mated before adjournment. "
Those Democrats who have
been impatient of the silence of
their party's candidate ought to
be satisfied with the effectiveness
of his first utterance. 1t filled the
blank in a disabled platform, it
gave leadership to the Democratic
cause and rallied supporters by
thousands and tens of thousands
to the Democratic standard. To
these must be added another won
derful accompaniment to which
this utterance gave opportunity.
When in response to the mess
age of it's chosen candidate the
convention proposed to give him
assurance that the sentiments of
the convention and the meaning
of it's platform were in accord
with his expression, and in efforts
to make his message a part of
the platform, a vote on the pass
age of a resolution embodying
these propositions disclosed the
fact that out of a total of 965 only
191 could be counted in the mega
tive.
This vote furnished the best, if
not the only, opportunity offered
during the convention to demon
strate how overwhelmingly sound
it's members were in support OF
the gold standard, and it's result
cannot, 1 gratefully believe, be
otherwise construed than as indi-
eating the elimination of financial
error as disturbing influence OF
Democratic councils.
The National Democracy enters
upon the campaign, not in gloom
and despair, but in hope and con-
fdence.
believe that no man ever did
so much for the cause and in so
many directions in so short a time
and in so compact a form as was
done by our candidate when he
sent his message to the St. Louis
convention. He has reminded all
who profess Democratic princi-
pies that they also have work to
do if they, like him, would do the
patriotic political duty the time
demands.
Let the Democratic lines be
steadied at every point and let our
splendid leadership be followed
with genuine Democratic zeal and
stubbornness.
