brake a very close examination, state
positively that the appliance would GER
tainly stop a car inside of a few feet.
The only danger which could arise is
that the stoppage might be too sudden
for the comfort of the passengers, but
that for an emergency brake it would
be perfect.
Roughly outlined the Gardner brake
works in this manner: The brake
proper consists of a series of Hanged
steel track shoes which, when applied,
fall to the rail and the forward wheel
of each set of trucks instantly rides
the brake in such manner that the
wheel is above and free from the track,
and greater portion of the weight
OF the heavy motor and the car above
1T is thrown upon the track shoe, thus
creating a friction which must stop
the car within a few inches or feet,
according to the momentum of the
car when the brake is applied.
Applies Automatically
If the motorman does not or can
not shut off the power and the motors
continue to run the wheels will re-
volve harmlessly upon the track shoe
even after the car has come to
stop.
The steel track shoe is not unlike a
sled runner in appearance At the
forward end it is turned slightly up
ward with a view to riding over rough
joints and small Instructions. This
forward end of the brake is what
forms the fender, cross bars or Stats
running across from one track shoe

An emergency brake which will stop
car within three feet or less under
any circumstances is what is necessary
and my appliance will do that" con-
tinued Mr.. Gardner. my fender will
pick up a mans hat from the street,
yet is so strongly constructed that the
wheels of heavily loaded truck might
run over it without damage to the ap-
pliance."
would your brake have stopped the
runaway car on the Second street hill
at any point in it's flight?" was asked.
"Unquestionably it would I have
submitted my plans to scores of me-
chanics and railway experts. They are
unanimous in their opinion that this
brake would have stopped the car
without the slightest difficulty at a
point where not a person would have
been injured"
According to Mr.. Gardner the cost
of equipping the street cars with his
brake would be much less than the
ordinary straight air brake or the more
complex magnetic appliance. The
brake invented by Gardner is much
more efficient in operation at about
half the cost of the other makes of
brakes
Simply for Emergencies
THE automatic brake" said Mr..
Gardner, lis not intended to displace
air brakes or hand brakes, but is
simply an emergency appliance, both

as to fender and brake. In case q man
falls in front of car equipped with
this brake he is scooped UP and car
ried on until the car stops.
| In case a motorman saw collision
with carriage or bicycle was inevi-
] table he could throw down his emer-
| gency lever and no matter what fol-
lowed the car would be almost instant
ly stopped and any one falling on the
rails would not be in danger of getting
beneath the wheels or being crushed
under the old fashioned tenders with
which cars in many cities are provided.
MY brake does not interfere with
the application of any other pattern
of brake which is constructed on the
basis of brake shoe coming in contact
with the wheels. They can be put on
any kind of appliance they wish to use
| on everyday work, but when it comes
to safeguarding the life and limb of
the public the railway companies need
and will have to adopt some better
method than that in use at the present
time.
Simplicity Feature
1.-THE simplicity of the brake is such
that any mechanic could replace any
portion Of the whole apparatus in any
machine shop in the world 1t is a
brake which would have the confidence
of the motormen. But few motormen
are expert electricians or understand
the intricate working of air brakes.

TO the other. Normally these track
shoes will ride a few inches from the
rail. When applied the shoes fall to
the rail and by the movement Of the
car are carried backward a few inches
when the wheel rides the shoe and the
tremendous friction thus created will
stop the car.
In cases of collision the impact with
any heavy body will automatically APP
ply the brake.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain i'll the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry San, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-.
regular heart, debility drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc But
if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
Mrs. d. B. Perky, of Lincoln street,
says: II had kidney complaint for
nearly ten years, but not so bad until
recently. Three years ago l had
black measles, and every body, as we'll
as myself, thought was going to die.

the platform the cow stands upon. The
feeding alley is in front. and the COW Is

the feeding alley. To prevent cows
reaching through this opening into the

Is used to close the opening. This Is

bottom Is made out OF eight inch or ten
inch plank and is boarded up on the

milking. however, the number Of bac-

There are of course many other ways

MODEL cow STALL.

the lower manger she is Just as far
ahead as she can possibly get. When
she raises her head TO eat hay the hay
manger forces her back a step. Now,
the philosophy Of the stall Is this:
When she Is eating grain or ensilage
out of the lower manger the attendant
notices where she stands with her hind
feet. and he places a 2 by edgewfse
across the stall just In front OF her
hind feet Ii must be understood that
the ensilage and grain manger is only
four TO six inches high on the side
toward the COW. Now. the space be-
tween this manger and this . by 4 In
front of the cows hind feet is filled
with straw for bedding. 1t gradually
becomes packed in there so that the
COW has a mattress OF straw four
inches deep to lie upon. This Is her
bed. When she stands up she cannot
get into 1t with her hind feet to soil
1t. The manger prevents her from get
ting ahead, SO that the droppings will
not at any time fall In this bed; con-
sequently It is always clean.
When the COW lies down she must lie
upon this bed or else lie right over the
edge of the by 4. which is so uncom-
Portable that she soon learns to lie far
