LIGHTING LORE.
AcETYLENE ExcELs As AN iLLu.
MlNANT.
Gas for Lighting Formerly Confined to
Cities and Large Towns, now In
General Use in the Country.

The satisfactory lighting OF subur-
ban and country homes requires that
the means useI shall be convenient,
safe. economical and furnish a bill
liant, penetrating, effulgent light
Everybody admits that these are
not the characteristics of the candle
or kerosene lamp, which. formerly,
were the only feasible means of pro-
ducing light for domestic use in the
rural districts.
For generations there was a crying
need. q yearning for something better,
which was not satisfied. few years
ago deliverance came In the shape Of
the chemical compound, Calcium Car
bide. from which. by the simple ap'
plication Of water, the gas Acetylere
is derived. Acetylene meets all the
requirements fully and admirably and
is being generally used.
Common lime and carbon In the
form of coke or coal are the raw ma
terials which, fused in an intensely
heated furnace, make Calcium Car
bide, and there is no difficulty in OBJ
tanning 1t in any part of the country.
The machine into which the Cal
cium Carbide is fed and from which
the Acetylene is distributed through
the building to be lighted. is but little
larger than thirty-gallon milk can,
and of the same general form. 1t is
easily and cheaply installed. either in
the cellar or in an out-building.
The light from burning Acetylene
is exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that It surpasses all other known illu-
minants. 1t does not taint the air nor
strain the eyes and is not objection
able in any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.

Successful Air Sailing.

The degree to which the navigation
of the air has now progressed is at
tested by the experiment Of Captain
Baldwin's airship, "City OF Portland
at the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds.
The airship was off the ground for
forty-two minutes and during that time
1t travelled distance of seven miles,
reaching a maximum height of thou
sand feet and following prescribed
course and landing within three feet of
the initial point. Part of the course
was made in the face of a breeze of
from three to six miles an hour, and
during the trip the aeronaut circled
around the tower of the Oregonian
building.
This was noteworthy trip, but its
chief importance lies in the demonstra-
ton that the essentials of aerial navi-
cation have been mastered. To rise in
the air, to maintain equilibrium, and
to steer independently of the wind,
these are the three great things, the
rest are mere details. Now the Bald
win airship has done all of these
things. 1t has ascended to height of
thousand feet. 1t has maintained its
equilibrium for nearly three-quarters
Of an hour, SO that it's occupant has not
been spilled upon the ground and so
that the ship itself has not been
wrecked upon any obstacle or upon the
ground. And 1t has pursued its course
under control along specified course,
returning to the point of departure af-
ter large circuit and a smaller one.
After this, aerial navigation is only
a matter of improvement. The size of
the ship may be increased. The con-
struction Of the engines may be i'm
proved. The safety of the occupants
may be greatly increased. The ability
to make way against wind currents
may be raised almost indefinitely. The
duration of the trip may be extended.
But with an airship that can raise it.
self, balance itself and steer itself
against or across the wind, the main
problems have been solved and the in
ventor finds himself in a position
where he can make these improve
ments gradually and to an extent that
it is impossible to forecast.-Pueblo
Chieftain.

1T seemed as If I would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything
that / could eat would stay on my
stomach. Every attempt gave me
heartburn and filled my stomach with
gas. got thinner and thinner until
l literally became living skeleton
and in time was compelled to keep
to my bed.
"A few months ago was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had
such good effect from the very begin.

since. l was surprised at the case
with which digested it. 1t proved
to be Just what needed. All my un-
pleasant symptoms, the heartburn, the
inflated feeling which gave me SO
much pain disappeared My weight
gradually increased from SO to l16
lbs, my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and I am now
able to do my housework and enjoy
it. The Grape-Nuts food did it," Name

REPUBLICAN OPENING
sv VICE PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS
Says Republicans Will ReadJust TarifF
When Demand Exists-WiIi Also
Enact Just Railroad Leg
jslation.

Bellefontaine. Ohio, Sept. 24.-Beau-
tiful weather and immense crowds
were features of the opening Of the
Republican state campaign here yes
terday. Republican clubs from all
parts Of the state arrived early in the
day to participate in the parade which
was held during the morning.
Judge Dow was chairman OF the
meeting. Music was furnished by tho
Republican Glee Club of Columbus.
and the address of Vice President
Fairbanks followed. He said:
"Let well enough alone is a we'll
worn phrase, yet Is possesses great vir-
tue. When business conditions are
unexcelled, when both labor and capi-
tai are generally and profitably en-
ployed, it is not the part of wisdom to
revolutionize political parties.
"A Republican Congress will read
just tariff schedules whenever such re-
adjustment is essential to preserve the
integrity of the system and to main
tain the law In wholesome operation.
Change will not be made for the mere
sake Of change, or to promote free
trade, whose disastrous effects we
well understand. An adjustment Of
sound economic demand. Whenever
such demand exists. Congress will in a
wise and patriotic way give effect to
it It will not proceed in a manner
to disturb and unsettle, but to main
tain the stability of commercial condi@
tions. The subject will be considered.
not in a narrow and technical spirit,
but in broad way, having in view the
largest common good.
1.-THE subject OF railway discrimina-
tions is OF wide interest. The ques-
tion is obviously one to be dealt with
with full knowledge, and not by an ap-
peal to prejudice or by loud acclama-
tion.
'It must be settled, not in the light
of mere personal or party politics, but
according to principles of strict JUS
tice; in the light of right as between
man and man. 1t will be settled, in
the language of your platform, so as to
promote and insure the rights of indi-
viduals, interests and localities. Legis-
lation which had been hitherto enacted
to cure the generally admitted evils
has not accomplished all that was in
tended or all that was deemed neces-
sary.
"The President has brought the mat
ter to the attention of Congress and
Congress may be relied upon to pro-
ceed, in the light of past experience
and present information, to enact such
laws as will effectually remove the
evils which confessedly exist.
There must be an end of discrim-
ination.
Republican triumph in Ohio will
mean the endorsement Of the admins
tration of President Roosevelt. 1t will
show that the people are satisfied not
only with the soundness of the policies
of the great Republican party, but that
they approve the able and successful
manner in which the affairs Of the
nation are administered by him"
