REGARDING CELLAR DOORS
From the Old-Time Door of Wood to the Newest of Galvanized
 Steel

Time was when cellar doors were all made of wood with iron strap hinges, each complete door consisting of pair of wooden flap doors closing in the mid- dle, to be thrown back on either side when the door was opened weather strip was nailed along the edge of one of these flaps.
 Outside the houses and in fact in many other places, says the New York Sun, such cellar doors were often set at an incline from the building, so that they would the better shed water; and these were the traditional cellar doors down which children loved to slide. as they still do, for that matter. wherever such cellar doors are found.
 Cellar doors. either fiat or inclined. are still to be found in countless num- bers everywhere. and in cities as we'll AS in the country. Plenty mav vet ba seen, for instance. in New York. But along much travelled business thorough fares in cities wooden cellar doors were soon worn away and broken under the incessant scraping and trampling of many thousands of feet, and so in such situations wooden cellar doors were long ago largely supplanted by cellar doors of iron, these not inclined but set level with the sidewalk. so that they would form no impeachment to travel
 These were wide departure from tho old-time wooden cellar door, but they have now been long familiar in such localities, and for time it must have seemed, If anybody ever gave them a thought. that in them had been reached the limit in cellar door construction. But the really modern city cellar door IS to them what they were to the an. cient cellar door of wood.
 The newest city cellar door. de- signed for use in crowded streets. one introduced within recent years. is built of steel, and galvanized. and hung on heavy brass hinges Of rigid construction in its own parts, and shutting into rigid frame, this cellar door when closed is as firm a support 10 the feet as the surrounding side. walk in which it is set. while the gal. vanizing of the door and the hanging of its parts on brass hinges preserve the door from rust and help to make 1t practically indestructible.

The gains of a hrstrate British jockey are large. but 1t may be doubted if they equal those of Spanish toreador of the same grade in his calling.

This is done by means of the shoulder or middle screw. and this clamping is in all cases done by means of the end screw, the shoulder screw serving as a fulcrum for the jaws. leverage and pressure being always obtained by the end screw alone.

relative position 10 each other As shown al A. the end screw must be loosened so that the shoulder screw can be unscrewed a half turn or more. after which the end screw is again frightened and the relative position of the jaws examined Unless they are parallel the process must be repeated until the pressure is equal on all parts of the work
 With beginners, after the pressure has been applied. the relative position of the jaws is usually like that shown at B. In this case the end screw must again be loosened SO that the shoulder screw can be screwed up one or two turns. as may be required, after which the adjustment is tested as in the first case until correct resrlts are obtained.
 When 1t is necessary to open or close the hand screw for larger or smaller work, do not screw or unscrew one of the screws at time. Instead, grip tho handle of the shoulder screw with tho left hand and the end of the end screw in the right hand, and while holding the hand screw out at arms length, whirl it forward or backward. as may be needed for closing or opening the jaws. In this way the screws will each be kept in it's proper relative position. and the jaws will at all distances re- main parallel while being opened or closed.
 The iron clamp shown in Fig. 136 is often useful in positions which are hard to reach with a hand screw. A half-dozen of assorted sizes will te found of great advantage in the work shop.

wedge clamps have been illustrated and described under Fig. 61 For general purposes, however. the hand screw illustrated in Fig. 134. is the most con venient and also the most widely used of all clamps.

 into the open grain or pores of the wood, and in having all superfuous glue pressed out so that the two oppos- Ing surfaces will come into close con tact. To accomplish this purpose strong clamps of different kinds are used. The carpenters screw and

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most Of them como from poor
or poisoned blood. In annmia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matisn, malaria and the grip, the poison
III the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept i'll the system affect the
blood i'll the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
OF the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nontly Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by an@mia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: CDR.
