AN EXPERT ON LAMPS.
Have the Wick Dry and Just Long
Enough to Touch Bottom-A
Thin Flame the Best.

4 lamp expert" in the employ o.
a big oil company recently explained
the methods by which kerosene could
be made to burn bright and clear, or
the reverse. Among other things, the
wick was thoroughly dried out and
just long enough to reach the bottom
OF the oil howl-no longer, This
sounds unimportant, but it was CON
sidered sufficiently valuable to be
borne in mind in commercial demon
strations Of the oil. II is always wise
to dry out a new wick thoroughly be
fore putting 1t in the lamp. as damp
ness causes sputtcring. Another point
this expert laid stress upon was trim
ming the wick so as to give thin
flame: a thick flame burns yellow, a
thin one clear white. Trouble will
also result from a dirty burner, giving
imperfect ventilation, or one twisted
or knocked out of shape which causes
the lamp to smoke. Few of the minor
annoyances of life cause more dis
comfort than a dim or smoky lamp
it is quite worth while to use some
thought in avoiding such troubles.

A Balloon Incline Railroad.

Consul William BaTdel writes from
Bambery that Engineer Balderauer,
Of Salzberg. has invented balloon
railroad, experiments with which are
now being made in the mountains in
the neigh hborhood Of that German city.
II consists OF stationary balloon,
which is fastened to Slide running
along a single steel rail The rail is
fastened to the side OF steep noun
tain. which ordinary railroads could
not climb, except through deep cuts
and tunnels. The balloon is TO float
about 35 feet over the ground, and
heavy steel cable connects it with
the rail The conductor can. at will,
make the balloon slide up and down
the side Of the mountain. For going
up the motive power is furnished by
hydrogen gas, while the descent Is
caused by pressure Of water. which
Is poured into a large tank at the up
per end OF the road. and which serves
as ballast Suspended from the bal
loon is a circular car with room for
ten passengers. The cable goes from
the bottom Of the balloon through the
center OF the car to a regulator OF
speed, which is controlled by the con-
ductor. The inventor of this railroad
claims that his patent will force all
incline cable roads out Of existence.

TEE HOME DOCTOR.

Full deep breathing of pure air Is
one of the best possible cures for bilious
attacks, indigestion, chronic dyspepsia
and, in fact, almost any weakness OF
the bodily system.
To Cure Sore Throat-Take a lump
of resin as large as walnut, put 1t in
an old teapot, pour boiling water on
it, put the lid on, put the spout to your
mouth. and the steam will cure the In
fammation.
Never toss a baby; such treatment is
injurious to the brain, and many an
attack of commissions is caused by II.
Gentle movement up and down is diff
ferent thing, delights a baby, and is,
good for his digestion.
Four hours is the longest interval
during which children should go with
out food in the daytime, and some
thing, if it is only a drink of milk ana
a biscuit, should always be given them
the last thing before going to bed.
When poison has been accidentally
swallowed no emetic is better than

At once the stimulative action upol.
the stomach causes that organ to re-

of mustard leaves no i'll effect behind
it, but instead, feeling of pleasant

quickest of all emetics and the most

Feed the little folks good, healthful,
pure, strengthening food and there need
not be any fear.
For many years physicians have pre-
scribed malt extracts, which contain a
large percentage of maltese. or malt
sugar Malta-Vita, the crisp, delicious

Malta-Vits, on account of its large per-

beneficial for children and il is so good to

OMAHA CLUB HOLDS ELECTION
Two Directors Chosen, with Tie ON
Third TO he voted

At the annual meeting OF the Omaha
club held Saturday night 125 members were
present at the banquet and voted. A. H.
Merchant and L. l.. Kountze were elected
to fill the vacancies In the board OF d.
rectors, but a tie resulted on the third
man, l.. F. Crofoot, and Frank Colpetzer
receiving the same number of votes.
Considerable discussion was precpitated
on the question as to whether the stock
holders had the right under the consttu-
ton of the club to suspend the bylaws and
elect a third director. The lawyers led
in the discussion, with the bankers a
close second, and one member announced
that II there was any lawyer present who
had not been heard from the meeting
should wait and give hln a chance. 1t
was decided to have another meeting next
Saturday night, when one director will be
chosen from the two who were tied L. +.

money and the presidents report to the
members was:
The board of directors submits herewith
the annual report showing the financial
condition of the club, and presents a gen.
eral statement Of its affairs for the year
ending December 81, 1905.
The statement shows very satisfactory
condition of affairs as IL will be seen that
the receipts from all sources exceeded
the expenditures by $2,70S.3s, thus more
than offsetting the loss of the previous
year which was occasioned by the compile
ton of the addition to the club house.
1t will be noted that under the heading
repairs and requirements" there was eX-
pended s2.5el13 This amount includes the
cost of altering the rooms adjoining the
billiard room in the basement of the club
house. these altera tons having been made
in accordance with wishes expressed by
many of the members.
The mortgage indebtedness of the club
has been reduced to $4,000 and II is graft
flying to know that a material reduction
| in the rate OF interest on the loan has
also been obtained. II is to be hoped that
the club will be able to make a very con-
siderable payment upon the mortgage each
year in the future it practically covers
the clubs indebtedness.
The total membership OF the club on De-
cember 81 was 440 a net gain during the
year of six members.

II You Fear Diphtherva Beware of y
Cold.

The best authorities now agree that the
chances for contracting diththeria are
greatly enhanced by colds. II the child
has a cold it is much more likely TO con-
tract diphtheria. The same is true of any
OF the much dreaded catching diseases.
The cold prepares the system for the re-
eeption and development of the germs OF
these diseases. that is why one child will
contract a disease, and another exposed at
the same time will not take it. The one
that takes it, as a rule, has cold. Even
slight colds are dangerous ana should have
prompt and intelligent attention. Whether
for a child an adult you can find no
better preparation than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t can always be de-
pended upon to effect a quick cure. There
is no danger in giving it to children, as 1t
contains no harmful drug.
