struct it myself. I secured all the ma terial, including sand, gravel, boulders and cement, and set to work upon the frame.
 The frame was made of one-inch plank of different widths. The ac- companying line cut gives a good idea of the method used in constructing this frame. The outside frame was ten feet long and 214 feet wide, with the ends bolted together, as indicated in E. The ends measured four feet ten inches by 212 feet. The length ot the inside frame at the top was eight feet "A inches, at the bottom eight feet 134 inches; the ends at the top three feet ten inches and the bottom three feet four inches. This frame was 215 feet deep. The figure shows how the cleats are put on to hold the ends in place. I used eight one-half inch bolts for the outside and set two by twos, so the bolts would reach.
 By making the top of the crate larger than the bottom the wall at the bottom is thicker, thus making the inside wall slope out. This gives the thawing ice a chance to rise. Wedges should be used on end boards of in side crate and small nails for mailing on the cleats for the ends of the in side crate. These should be nailed just so they hold the boards in place. I used rough lumber for building the crates. but would advise the use of planed lumber instead.
 After getting the material in shape be sure the tank is properly located, as it cannot be moved about when once in place as a wooden or steel tank. Place the pipes where they cannot freeze. This is very impor- tant. Level off and stake the founda- ton about six inches larger than out side measurements of inside crate and

dig six or eight inch trench about this, deep enough to be below frost. This will leave a block of dirt. Take enough off this 10 leave the foundation five CT six inches deep, when concrete is put on, and see that there are no soft places in it. In this trench put a layer of clean boulders and concrete, using unscreened gravel in parts of one to ten then another layer of bOulders and concrete, and so on, almost to the top of the trench, making the concrete richer of cement as the top is neared. The top should be made of concrete in the proportion of one to six or seven. After the trench has been filled con. crete alone should be used, one to six, and filled to the proper height for the bottom of the tank. This should be leveled off and the crate set on this foundation.
 After the space between the inside and outside crates has been divided, it is ready to fill. Mix enough con- crete, one to six, to make a siX-inch layer around the space Do not use coarse gravel for tlis. After the con- crete has been tramped down place No. g galvanized wire around the space so it will be about the center of the wall when completed, as shown at A. Secure the ends and see that the wire does not come close to the edge of the wall any place. Put in the next layer of concrete and the wire in the same way, and so on to the top. Tamp each layer well, so there will be no holes in it. Let this stand about 24 hours, then remove the inside crate, being careful not to break the wall in any place.
 The outside wall should not be dis turbed until the inside is finished, says the writer in Orange Judd Farm CT. Plaster the inside one-fourth inch thick with sand and cement, one to three, beginning at a corner and go- ing around the tank. Plaster the bot tom next. Care must be taken in clustering the corners where the sides meet not to leave any place where it is liable to leak afterward. The bolts can then be removed from the outside and the crate taken off. The outside should be plastered, including the top of the walls. With a brush and a little pure cement and water the entire sur face should be washed; this to stop any small pores in the wall. Let this stand for about 12 hours before letting in the water. If the work has been carefully done there will be no leak ages and the tank will be one that will last century and still be in good con. dition.

Nature has provided the stom- aCh with certain natural fluids known as the digestive juices, and it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to pro- duce the rich, red blood that flows through the veins of our body and thereby makes us strong, health and robust. and it is the weakening of these di- gestive juices that destroys health. It is our own fault if we destroy our own health, and yet it is so easy for any one to put the stomach out of order. When you need to take some thing take it promptly, but take somthing you know is reliable something like Kodol For Dys- pepsia and Indigestion. Kodol is pleasant to take. it is reliable and is guarateed to give relief.

Lisbon, May 4.-The government has
completed its investigation of the plot
to assassinate King Carlos and his son
last fall. So many prominent persons
are either suspected or imprisoned that
it is decided not to bring any prosecu-
tions. King Manuel when he takes his
oath Of office will grant a general am
nesty. This, however, will only cover
offenses up to January 80. the assas-
sinations occurred February 1. Although
King Manuel has expressed his willing
ness to pay to the treasury money adj
vanced to the late King Carlos, the
cabinet on account of present cOndi-
ton of finances of the royal household,
has decided to ask parliament to can
eel these debts.
Dr. Jose De Alpom, chief Of the pro-
gressive dissidents, who has been a
thorn in the side Of the monarchy, is
believed to have made deal with the
government by which one of his fol-
lowers will enter the cabinet at the
earliest opportunity.

sued orders that all arms in the pos
session of private persons be surrender
ed Immediately. After May 5, any per-
son having arms in his possession with

will be to the head office of the firm
