HEED GOOD ADVICE
Simple Formula Gives Immed-
late Relief.

The digestion of faod commences as
soon as it enters the mouth. It's
presence excites the action of the sal
wary glands; and mastication, or
chewing of the food, causes it to be-
come thrOughly mixed with saliva.
which is the juice of those glands; and
this juice acts upon the starch food to
aid in converting it into glucose, an
essential condition for digestion.
A knowledge of this fact alone ex-
plains one of the greatest causes of
Dpspepsia-rapid eating. The most
fattening foods. such as oatmeal and
other cereals, are often swallowed
without being mixed with saliva; and
entering the stomach in an improper
condition, they are not fully digested,
and IN many cases they cause a loss of
flesh by burdening the stomach and
other digestive apparatus with food
that cannot be assimilated, therefore.
it can easily be seen that an agent to
stimulate the gastric secretions is
needed; in such cases the following
formula has proved of great value:
Tr. Cinchona Compound, 81 OF; Kas.
tor Compound, 1 OF; Fluid Extract of
Cascara Aramatic, OF.

q years old, and his younger brother
Frank were put off southbound pas
eenger train at Seaford Saturday night
at the end of the long bridge crossing
the Nanticoke river by Conductor John
Laydeld, of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, because they were slow in pro-
ducing their tickets, which they had
bought, but which Julius had mis-
placed. Conductor Layfeld became
incensed at their delay and, as both
had been drinking, thought they were
trying to beat their way. Julius found
the tickets after being put off, and the
brothers started to walk back to Sea
ford. At the middle of the long bridge
julius, who was few feet in advance
OF his brother, made misstep and fell
into 30 feet of water. His brother
called to him, but there was no re-
sponse, and he then crawled on hands
and knees to the end of the bridge.
where he notified the bridgetender.
Both young men lived in Laurel and
julius was recently married. His
young wife is prostrated. Hundreds

without result. Relatives say thew

There is much local interest in the
invention of John Henry Parsons, the
Delaware road engineer, who invented
a method for consuming the smoke
from an engine, and who Sc cured per-
mission of the Pennsylvania Railroad
to put his device for consuming all the
engines smoke upon his own locomos>
tive, has demonstrated its practicability
and it is now a success. 1t now tran
spires, however, that the Pennsylvania
Railroad has become wonderfully in
terested in this country engineers
patent. Two engines have been fitted
out with the apparatus, one running
from Philadelphia to Delmar and one
from Philadelphia to Washington.
The latter, in passing through the tun-
mel mt Union Station, Baltimore, was
particularly noticed. Every vestige of
black smoke issuing from the engine
was consumed in Parsons device on
the smoke stack. Each engine was
supplied with an expert machinist
from the motive power division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and it was also
noticed that Parsons claim, that the
device would save one third on the fuel
on the run was correct. Both experts
have, since then, it is stated, made
most favorable reports to the Altoona
shop, headquarters of the Pennsylvania
system, and the probable adoption of
the patent will make the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company a new advertising
point of general attractiveness, and the
Parsons family will hereafter ride IN
automobiles as we'll as smokeless trains.

Electric Car Brakes.

Considerable interest has been
awakened in the trial of a new cleo
trio brake on a New York street car
The power is furnished by the trolley
current. The motorman applies the
brake with handle, similar to that
of the ordinary air-brake, and releases
it by pressing a foot-pedal. says
Youths Companion. 1t is said that
with the electric brake the labor of
the motorman is greatly reduced,
while the stops are effected more
smoothly and easily. There is no
surging of the car, the reason offered
being that the electric brake dan be
released instantly, whereas the air
must escape from the cylinder of the
air brake before the pressure on the
wheels can be relieved. To provide
against failure of the trolley current,
a device is furnished whereby the
motor can be short-circuited, and the
car thus quickly stopped.

interest in motors of this kind arises
from the fact that atmospheric cleo
trlclty is of the static type, and there
lore that if we are ever to utilize the
atmosphere as source of electric
power we must employ some such
means as this, the ordinary style of

this motor is reversed glass-disk elec-

and a stick of sealing-wax He says:

Electric Slams.

Brilliant effects for electric signs are
now to be readily obtained with lit
tie cost by the use of small colored
transparent caps which fit over the
rounded ends of the incandescent
bulbs. This permits the owner OF a
changeable electric sign to alter the
legend at will and to indulge in the
use of colors without the necessity of
keeping on hand a large supr.y of
colored lamps, some of which are
very expensive.

who think that the preference for the
right hand is an acquired habit, al
though one of immensely long stand

Fifteen YEARS OF ECZEMA.

-Cuticura Cured in 6 DAYS.

Il had eczema nearly fifteen years.
The affected parts were my hands,
arms and legs. They were the worst
in the winter time, and were always
itchy, and 1 could not keep from
scratching them. I had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night I would have to scratch though
the bandages as the itching was so
severe, and at times I would have to
tear everything off my hands to
scratch the skin. 1 could not rest or
sleep. 1 had several physicians treat
me but they could not give me a
permanent cure nor even could they
stop the itching. After using the
Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura
Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura
Resolvent for about six days the
itching had ceased, and now the sores
have disappeared, and 1 never felt
better in my life than I do now.

pole Numerically opposite. Each pole
mas thin brush mounted thereon,
which contacts with the armature Sec
lions as they pass Hereunder. AS
there are five armature sections and
but four field-poles, some one of these
brushes is always in contact with an
armature section. If, now, one pair of
opposite field-poles be positively
charged and the other pair be mega
lively charged, some one of the arma-
ture sections receives charge of like
sign with the field-pole enveloping it.
The armature section is, therefore, i'm
mediately repealed, and moves away
from the field-pOle and toward the next
field-pole, to which it is attracted for
like reason. AS it passes under the
brush of the latter field-pole the
charge is given up for one of unlike
sign, and the armature section is in
turn repealed by this field-pole SINH
lar phenomena are taking place at
each of the other field-poles, and con-
tinuouS rotation at high velocity is

battery are mounted on a single
shaft, and all the like armature Sec
tons in row (parallel to the Shaft
are connected, thus securing a larger
capacity in each of the five armature
sections. The field-poles are likewise
connected together, and the brushes
are arranged to contact with the arma-
ture sections only just after each had
passed the median line of each field
pole. Therefore the motor always turns
in the same direction Says the au-
thor,
ANY suitable source of high-tension
current sufficed for power, as, for
example, an induction machine. A
charged glass rod held to one and a
charged sealing-wax rod held to the
other of the field-posts were sufficient
to cause considerable rotation of a
single-disk motor.

phony pole supporting wires Is feet

was found that on connecting the mo-
tor between the points, that is, so that
one field-pole was in metallic com
munication with. the earth and the
other with the aerial, the motor would
run, beginning some little time before
the rain began to fall. 1t was also no
ticed that the motor did not always be-
have similarly; sometimes it would re-
volve rapidly, while upon the occasion
of other storms the torque would be
weak
LAS the force of attraction and re-
pulsion is in proportion to the capac-
tiles of the opposed surfaces, it would
seem that motor of considerable
power might be constructed to run by
static current taken from the passing
clouds, and this is suggested as a line
of research of not unpromising re.
