BRIDGE READY
In FOUR MINUTES
B. & O.'S New Structure in
Place Over Chester
Creek

CHESTER. Pa, Aug. 26.-In four min
pulled into position the new SOO-ton steel
bridge over Chester Creek. for the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company. The
whole movement was as quiet and easy as
the proverbial falling off log" and
the bridge was ready for service almost
as soon as ii was shifted into position.
The work was accomplished under the
direction OF the Pitstburg Construction
Company, though the Pencoyd people
made the steel trusses and all other parts
Of the bridge. 1t has taken weeks to put
it together and erect the parts on the
heavy rollers and prepare It TO be moved
from the side Of the tracks TO the old
piers whereon stood for years the truss
like formation which has become too small
and of such insufficient strength to sup
port the company's heavy trains which
pass over 1t constantly. Immediately ar
ter the S45 train, east bound, passed over
the old span the word was given and
score of men loosed up the small bolts
which held the tracks, and the signal was
given to start. All the cables and blocks
had been made fast and slowly but surely
the great mass of steel began to travel
from one side to the other and when in
proper position the superintendent of con-
struction shouted to Superintendent Voor-
hees Of the railroad she's yours, she's
yours" 1t was then that the construc.
tion company's responsibility ended and
it was shifted to the company to COM
plete the track work
In order to erect the new bridge piles
We're driven on the side Of the railroad
and upon this the new work was put to-
gether, placed on rollers and arranged so
that it could be slid into the same place
occupied by the old bridge, which at the
same time was unbuckled, excepting for
few bolts. The old span was rolled onto
similar platform erected on pilings on
the opposite side of the track.
Another bridge is to be built across
Ridley creek, near Fourteenth street
shortly the contract being in the hands
OF the Chicago Construction Company.

Fels-Naptha is better than an extra
pair of hands in housekeeping.
1t makes dirt fly from walls, floors,
woodwork, linoleum, windows, porcelain
fittings and anything else that's clean
able, just as it does from clothes.
No scrub-brush or hot water is nee
essary, mind you.
Just Fels-Naptha, cool or lukewarm
water, and soft cloth.
Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt in
iiffy so it can be rinsed away; it doesn't
have to be secured off.
AS Fels-Naptha is also a germicide,
it is a good sanitary precaution to do
your housecleaning with it.
Did you ever try washing dishes with
Fels-Naptha in lukewarm water1

and makes the glasses shine.

Bedroom Hints.

The old-fashioned white bedsprcad
orocheted with cotton thread has re-
turned TO favor. This has probably
been brought about by the popularity
of all things done with a knitting or a
crochet needle.
The new ones have a deep fringe
around them Of cotton thread and are
large enough TO hang nearly TO the
floor This saves the necessity Of hhv-
ing valance. The spread itself acts
as one.
One need not go TO all the trouble Of
crocheting such large expanse. which
takes a summers season TO accomplish.
for the spreads can be bought in the
shops at small prices and look as well
as the handmade ones.
