FOOD HELPS
In Management of a R. R.


Speaking of food a railroad man
says:
MY work puts me out in all kinds
of weather, subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food.
For z years was constantly trou-
bled with indigestion, caused by eat
ing heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poor
" cooked food, such as are most ac-
cessible to men in my business. Cen
orally each meal or lunch was fol-
lowed by distressing pains and burn
ing sensations in my stomach, which
destroyed my sleep and almost unfit
ted me for work. My brain was so
muddy and foggy that it was hard for
me to discharge my duties properly.
"This lasted till about year ago,
when my attention was called to Grape
Nuts food by newspaper ad. and /
concluded to try it. Since then | have
used Grape-Nuts at nearly every meal
and sometimes between meals. We
railroad men have little chance to pre-
pare our food in our cabooses and
find Grape-Nuts mighty handy, for it
is ready cooked.
ssTo make long story short, Grape
Nuts has made new man of me-.
have no more burning distress in my
stomach, nor any other symptom Of
indigestion. I can digest anything so
long as / eat Grape-Nuts, and my
brain works as clearly and accurately
as an engineers watch, and my old
nervous troubles have disappeared en-
tirely." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.

lures are made. The pictures are not
to be made of the stick figures. When
the child wants the block figure to per-
form an action and cannot represent it
the flexible stick figure is to be used as
an auxiliary, the action studied and
drawn by it, and then the block figures
drawn from that
The teacher may drill the child in the
use of the stick figures apart from the
block figures as long as he thinks profit
able. He will notice that by beginning
with the backbone and shoulder line the
inclination of the action is determined.
AS in running the degree of obliquity is
increased with the speed, the angle
formed by the legs becomes greater AMI
needs wider base Experiment will
suffice in this study without going into
the realm of physics.
The Block Figures.
Present the block figures to the child
as in the illustration by drawing the
square that stands for the body, then
apart, the square and parallelogram
that stand for body and legs, then the
square and parallelogram, adding sue
cessively head, arms, feet and hands.
The difference in proportion between
the squares used for the man and wom-
an, suggesting the greater shoulder
width of the man, viii be noted.
Much can be done with the figure in
the rectangular condition, while the adj
dition of concave lines at the shoulders
for the woman and convex shoulder lines
for the man, the use of the curved lines
for the torso and other suggestions

DecOmpOses If Heated Intensely and
CrystaIlizes If Frozen.
One Of the great advantages Of glyc-
erin In it's chemical employment is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evap-
crates under any ordinary temperature.
No perceptible loss by evaporation has
been detected at q temperature less
than 200 degrees F., but IL heated in
tensely it decomposes with a smell
that few persons find themselves able
to endure. 1t burns with a pale fame,
similar to that from alcohol, If heated
to about 300 degrees and then ignited.
Its homeopathic qualities make the
compound Of much use as a vehicle for
holding pigments and colors, as in
stamping and typewriter ribbons, car
bon papers and the like.
If the pure glycerin be exposed for
long time to freezing temperature it
crystallizes with the appearance Of
sugar candy, but these crystals being
once melted it Is almost an impossi-
bility to get them again into the con-
gealed state. If a little water be add
cd to the glycerin no capitalization
will take place, though under a suff1-
cient degree Of cold the water will
separate and form crystals, amid which
the glycerin will remain in its natural
state Of f1uidity. If suddenly subject
cd to intense cold pure glycerin will
form a gummy mass which cannot be
entirely hardened or crystallized. Al
together it is quite a peculiar sub
stance

RELOCATING A SHIP.


Ingenious Expedient Devised to Save
the Steamer Flavian.
An ingenious expedient was devised
some years ago to refoat the steamer
Flavian, which struck on ledge near
Cape Race. She was fixed in an awk-
ward position for tugs to work at her,
and half her hull was submerged.
It was in the late fall, and proper
salvage outfits could neither be obtain
ed from abroad in time nor used advan-
tageously, so a series of holes were cut
I'm her sides below the tween decks
and huge pitch pine logs passed
through these apertures. Meanwhile
two cofferdams sixty feet long by
twelve wide and as many deep had
been built at st. Johns and, being
carefully calked, were towed to the
scene and allowed to sink by opening
a valve, being then placed beneath the
logs which passed through the ship and
protruded on each side.
The water In them was next pumped
out, and as they rose they caught the
logs and fairly lifted the ship off the
rocks, she being towed to st. Johns
with them upbearing her till perma-
nent repairs could be made, which in
volved patching her bottom for half
her length.-Technical World
