ALUMINIUM POPULAR.
Production of Metal Does Not Keep
Pace with Increasing Demand,

Aluminium is increasingly used In
machine construction, as in crank
cases and gear boxes for motor cars,
for paneling inside Of underground rail
way cars, for electric wire, and for
new alloys, pigments, and metal plat
ing; and the aluminium cell as light
ming arrester has proved to be a val
liable addition to lightning protecting
devices. During recent years the
price of tin has been very high, and
since adequate new supplies of ore
have been discovered, substitutes for
tin must be used in manufactures.
Aluminium is regarded as probably the
most available substitute for tin In
the great majority of uses to which
that metal is put. owing to the d.
minution in the price OF aluminium, the
practically limitless supply of the raw
material. and the favorable physical
properties of the metal. AS the. pro
duction of aluminium is cheapened.
says Scientific American, SO will the
uses for 1t increase. The demand
steadily keeps ahead Of the supply.

HERE'S A NEW DEFINITION.
And Many There Arc VIII Say Senator
Plat Was Right.

A rather cynical joke has been re-
Gently credited to Senator Plat.
The senator, on his last visit to the
Manhattan Beach hotel, allowed a
pretty little girl, a western million
aires daughter, to be presented to
him.
The little girl, in the course of one
of her many chats with the aged
statesman, said:
TELL me, won't you, senator, what
political economy is?"
political economy, my dear child"
Senator Platt is said to have replied,
"is the art of never buying more
votes than you actually need"

Combination Coal Bin.

A good plan is to make a bin con
structed as shown in the Illustration.
The dotted lines show how the bot
tom of the bins are made slipping to-
ward the doors, says the Popular Me
chanics. One bin may be used for
hard coal and the other for soft coal,
while the space beneath the bottoms
Of the bins will make place for wood

vided for. A spout of suitable size is
made on each coal bin door, which
prevents the coal from dropping on the
door and still have a supply ia the

TO PRETENDERS.
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.

Just a word to you, Golfers" and
other glazing examples Of Modern
Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you a viewpoint
from which 1t is difficult to under
stand that some people even nova
DAYS act from motives Of old fashion
ed honesty.
There are honest makers of foods
and healthful beverages and there are
honest people who use them.
Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be
of a kind to understand 1t.
Some of you have been trained in
sorry class of pretenders. but your
training does not faint the old fashion
ed person trained without knowledge
of pretense and deceit.
These letters came to us absolutely
without solicitation. We have great
many thousand from people who have
been helned or entirely healed by fol-
lowing the suggestions to quit the
food or drink which may be causing
the physical complaints and change
to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food.
You are not intelligent enough to
know the technical reasons why the
change makes a change in the cells
of the body. Your knowledge, or lack
of knowledge, makes not the slightest
difference in the facts.
You can print from old and worn
mates all the cheap books your
presses will produce and sell them as
best you can. but such acts and your
learned" editorials are but CONNER
cial and seek only dollars" and much
by pretence.
When you branch out into food
values you become only ridiculous.
Stick to what you know. The field
may be small but it is safe.

SAVE THIS ANYWAY.
Put it in Some Safe Place, for it May
Come in Handy Some Day.

Here is simple homemade mixture as
given by an eminent authority on Kidney
diseases, who makes the statement in a
New York daily newspaper, that it will re-
lieve almost any case of Kidney trouble if
taken before the stage of Bright's disease.
He states that such symptoms as lame back,
pain in the side, frequent desire to urinate,
especially at night, painful and discolored
urination, are readily overcome. Here is
the recipe; try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Take a
teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here in town is
authority that these ingredients are all
harmless and easily mixed at home by
shaking well in bottle. This mixture has
peculiar healing and soothing effect upon
the entire Kidney and Urinary structure,
and often overcomes the worst forms OF
Rheumatism in just little while. This
mixture is said to remove all blood disor.
ders and cure the Rheumatism by forcing
the Kidneys to filter and strain from the
blood and system all uric acid and foul, de.
composed waste matter. which cause these
Affections. Try it if you aren't well. Save
the prescription.
