Radium to illuminate Gun siohts

In gun sights, leveling instruments
and telescopes there is what is called
a "fiducial' mark which is used to
obtain faithful result.
These marks of course are useless
in the dark, and. though many ways
of Illuminating them have been tried,
nothing has proved satisfactory.
Mr.. Andrew A. Common of Eaton

to solve the difficulty by the use of
radium, and his experiments were so
successful that he applied for pat

Phtladeiphian Signs at the Thought Of
Good Old Times.
II seldom drink liquor myself" said
an elderly man, who was in remin-
iscent mood, "but when consider the
prices charged for drinks to-day COM
pared with the prices asked in my
youth, can only wonder at the
change that has taken place. Long
before the Germantown railroad was
built my father used to keep tavern
at the corner of Ninth and Green
streets. 1t was near the old hay
market, and in those days the locality
was really suburb. In looking
through some of his papers the other
day came across some old docu-
ments, among which were several re-
ceipted bills from John Hoffman in
1926. Rye whisky was billed at SO
cents gallon, applejack at IS, and
Jamaica rum at 37h. Another bill
shows a cherry brandy charged at Sc
cents a gallon, and French brandy,
presumably cognac, at 81. If we
could buy the same brandy to-day at
$40 a gallon guess we'd be lucky.
And imagine buying good rvs whisky
for SO cents gallon! Why, it almost
drives me to drink just to think of it,"

A HEART STORY.

Folsom, S. Dak.-In these days
when so many sudden deaths are re.
ported from Heart Failure and vari-
o,s forms of Heart Disease, it will be
good news to many to learn that there
is never failing remedy for every
form of Heart Trouble.
Mrs. H. D. Hyde of this place, was
troubled for years with a pain in her
heart which distressed her great
deal. She had tried many remedies
but had not succeeded in finding any
thing that would help her until at last
she began treatment of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and this very soon relieved
her and she has not had a single pain
Or any distress in the region of the
heart since. She says: Il cannot say
too much praise of Dodd's Kidney
Pills. They are the greatest heart
medicine have ever used. l was
troubled for over three years with a
severe pain in my heart, which en-
tirely disappeared after short treat
-ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills"
