ELECTRIC EGGS

/ George J. Foster of 1911 Oak street
comes into general use. Not only NAV

limit lift up their heads the forty-year
even the sexagenarians whom DR. Osler
relegates to the tomb. may welcome
Foster as their deliverer.
The humble hen eggs are the means
by which Foster will put his inven.
ton into general use. Experiments
made by him with barnyard fowls have
convinced him that the egg, properly
electrified, is the elixir of life SO long
sought for. Coils of wire were laid
around the nests in the henhouse. and
the current turned on when the hens
went to lay. The result was quickly
noticed. From the time of the install
lation of the electric wires the eggs
took on different property When
eaten they acted like tonic Foster
distributed the eggs to the aged of his
neighborhood. The effect was Won
drous. Dimmed eyes became bright
the hating step gave way to one of
elasticity, bent shoulders were straight
ened, and soon, in all the neighbor-
hood, there was neither an old man
nor an old woman.
BY careful selection Foster has bred
q race Of fowls that are endowed with
the electric properties from birth. The
wires are still kept around the nests
however, in order to sustain the high
efficiency of the eggs. Another virtue
that he claims for his invention is that
rats, cats and other prowling enemies |
Of the chickens are kept away from
electrified eggs.

THE STORY OF AN INVENTION
How Sir Henry Bessemer Saved HIS
Country Millions by His Stamp.


In a recently published autobiogra-
ply of Sir Henry Bessemer is told how,
in 1888, when he was youth of twen-
ty. he learned that the British Govern
ment was losing about $500,000 a year
through the use of forged stamps. He
set about finding a remedy. In nine
months he discovered how to forge
Government stamps with the greatest
ease. This was risky bit of knowl-
edge for a struggling young man who
wanted money wherewith to get mar
ried to the girl of his choice. But
young Bessemer, having invented
forthwith the perforated stamp that is
now known everywhere, went gayly to
the Government officials with the forg-
cries in his pocket to ask If they were
genuine When Sir Charles Presley
passed them as genuine, Bessemer re-
marked that he knew they were forg-
eries-"simply because 1 forged them
myself" Then he suggested remedy.
1t was accepted. Bessemer was Of
fered the post of superintendent of
stamps-for plant and staff must be
reorganized-at $1,000 to $4,000 year.
Young Bessemer went away happily
to tell his good luck to the girl of his
choice. He explained to her the situa-
ton, how old stamps had been picked
off documents and used again, and how
he had invented an elaborate plan to
remedy this. But surely" said the
young lady, "if all the stamps had a
date put on them they could not at a
future time be used without detec-
tion." This rather startled young Bes-
semer. But he devised simple method
of marking the date. The British Gov
ernment was delighted. The device
was accepted. And as no change of
machinery or staff was needed, Besse-
mer was informed that no superintend-
ent of stamps would be appointed.
Thus he had deprived himself of job.
Forty-five years later, after he had
invented. the ''Bessemer process" of
preparing iron and had made a great
fortune. Bessemer wrote to Lord Bea-
consfield, then Prime Minister, point
ing out that he had saved the country
millions without the reward of a penny.
He no longer wanted money, but the
Government acknowledged the debt
and paid it with a knighthood.-Chi-
cago News.

Followers of Count Tolstol.

Not long ago the Vienna newspa-
pers were speaking of a Hungarian
doctor of philosophy who had become
penetrated with Tolstoi's ideas and
had apprenticed himself to a Buda-
pest shoemaker says the New York
World. Now Bulgarian doctor of
philosophy, Lubekoff. who has passed
his examinations at the University of
Sofia "cum laude," and was engaged
as professor of Latin. has become a
bootblack at street corner in Sofia.
His customers come because they
wish to have their boots polished by a
doctor.
Lubekoff does not forget that he is
a Tolstoist and impresses on his GUS
toners the virtue of lowly labor and
the happiness which It brings. He
has actually succeeded in founding
several little colonies of Tolstoists in
Sofia.

DR.. David H. Reeder, Laporte, Ind:
Dear Sir-I have become very much
interested in reading your health notes
in this paper, and wish to write you
regarding stomach trouble.
1 suffer a great deal with gas and
bloating. The gas is terrible at night.
and some days l am so bloated that |
get dizzy. When the stomach is empty
i have burning pain in it and pain
high up under my shoulders. Bowels
nre nearly always constipated. Urine
is acid and causes burning sensation
when passed. 1t is also very scanty.
D cannot eat any kind of fruit or ber-
ties or anything acid. Have headache
on awakening in morning over eyes
and top of head and every nerve seems
to throb. l am quite fleshy. VIII be
thankful for any advice which you may
give. Respectfully,
MRS. n. S.
If you will adopt the Home Health
Club method of reducing the fat. which
is a disease of digestion, you will cure
nil of the difficulties or disorders which
YOU have enumerated. l would also
suggest that you practice thorough
flushing of the colon until the effect
of the treatment for obesity or exces-
sive fat is noticeable. Then you
should take cold sitz baths at least
every other night until the constipation
is cured.

same time grow stronger was fully de-
