PUZZLE SOLVED.
Coffee at Bottom of Trouble.

1t takes some people long time to

But when once the fact is clear,
most people try to keep away from

increasing detriment to the heart,
stomach and nerves.

Burning, Painful Sores on Legs
Tortured Day and Night-Tried
Many Remedies to No Avail
Cured by Cuticura.

after an attack of rheumatism,
running sores broke out on my hus-
bands legs, from below the knees to
the ankles. There are no words to
tell all the discomforts and great suf-
fering he had to endure night and day.
He used every kind of remedy and
three physicians treated him, one after
the other, without any good results
whatever. One day l ordered some
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent. He began
to use them and in three weeks all the
sores were died up. The burning fire
stopped, and the pains became bear
able. After three months he was quite
well. l can prove this testimonial at

Cement and Steel CuIverts.

The price Of lumber in the near
future will stop the idea of building
bridges and culverts of wood. Cement

is nothing cheaper than cement, if
durability is figured, 1t is cheaper
than corrugated steel. glazed sewer

LAME BACK PRESCRIPTION

The increased use of whiskey for
lame back rheumatism is causing con-
siderable discussion among the medi-
cal fraternity. 1t is an almost infal-
lible cure when mixed with certain
other ingredients and taken properly.
The following formula is effective:
"To one-half pint of good whiskey add
one ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceu-
tical Co, Chicago, but it as well as the
other ingredients can be had from any
good druggist.

on the Pitt river in Shasta county, Cal.
ifornia, number of new types of elec,
trio furnaces are being tested on a
small scale, instead of working with
one large furnace alone, as has
been heretofore the plan. A bank of

ton is completed. The new furnace
of a capacity of % tons of pig iron per
day is on the same plan as the original
experimental one. 1t is claimed that
it will remove the objections found to
the Heroult furnaces first erected.

Balloons and Bullets.

Experiments have recently been
made in Berlin to ascertain the height
at which a balloon may be considered
immune from hostile rifle shots. Cap.
tive balloons were sent up, and they
were shot at from angles of from Ia
deg to 40 deg. Balloons travelling at
a height of from 600 TO 1000 yards
could be hit only once out OF six shots,
while they were absolutely safe at a
height of 1000 yards. Even when
struck, the damage to the gas bag was
so small that the balloon was able to
continue its journey for hours before
the escaping gas mads landing nee

the general farmer, as This is only
practical where a grower is in the
seed business.
We have found, says Farm and
Home, a very convenient way is to
take four pieces AKA six feet long, set
them up in square, and nail laths on
them two and two opposite leave a
siXinch space between the laths so
the corn will have plenty of ventila-
tion. Lay your corn on this to dry,
and if thoroughly dry it can lay there

From ErYina Pan to Fire.

Some years ago, when the late
Judge John Henry Mccarthy was a
candidate for the bench, says the He

by both Hebrews and Irish, there was
displayed in an East Broadway win
dow a banner which read: Vote for

ulation, while in the latter there is
only such regulation as may be OBJ
tainel by hand Nevertheless, for
general work the Benardos process,
on account of its simplicity, is to be
preferred.
1T is necessary to conduct the weld
ing in an inclosure, as the intense
rays of the arc seriously interfere
with any other work in the immediate
vicinity. For a similar reason, when
the BenardOs process is employed,
welder should be thoroughly shielded,
eyes as well as body. A head-gear
of canvas or of stovepipe is readily
made and fitted with a small projec.
ting window of thick colored glass.
Gloves provided with long gauntlets
will answer for the hands, while the
ordinary clothing, if not too thin, will
suffice for the rest of the body. Ex-
posure to the direct rays Of the arc
causes an irritation of the skin in eff
feet much like sunburn; the skin red
dens and subsequently peels, but with
no more serious consequences. A
short trial WILL however, be more eff
fective in demonstrating the desirable
ity of care in this matter than any
words Of caution.
When the Zerener process is en-
ployed, however, the welding is usual
ly on much smaller scale, and it is
then only necessary to protect the
eyes by pair of suitable colored
glasses"
The method of operation In the sin
gle-carbon process is thus described
by Mr.. Auel:
Assuming now that everything is
in readiness for making a weld, the
operator places himself In front Of the
casting, holding in one hand the car
bon (negative) electrode by means of
an insulated handle and having within
convenient reach of the other hand
the material to be used as filler, either
iron rod, bits of broken steel
castings, or small punchings from
boiler plate. He then pulls the hood
down over his head, touches the car.
bon electrode to the casting,
thereby closing the circuit and thus
producing the arc. AS soon as the
arc is sprung, the carbon electrode
should be Withdrawn to a distance OF
at least two inches, more if possible
and the arc continued until the melt
ing temperature of the metal is
reached
IF it is not possible to maintain
the arc at the proper distance or II
it is too intense, the depth of the
triangular plates in the water rheostat
or the number of grids in the resist
ance should be altered accordingly
The arc, instead of being concentrat
ed on one spot, should be given a ro
tary motion in order to heat the cast
ing thoroughly in the vicinity of the
proposed weld.
when the melting temperature is
reached, either the iron rod, small
bits of steel castings, or punchings OF
boiler plate are fed into the boiline
metal. This feeding is continued, the
arc meanwhile also being maintained
until the weld is completed. To make
the casting conform to a particular
shape or to give it a smoother finish
or closer grain, the surface OF the
weld may be hammered while cool
ing"

they must do big business to, make

the subject. Even in 1904 the con

Fasting In Wilderness Necessary.
So long as the republican party
remains In power it is powerless to
regenerate itself. It cannot attack
wrongdoing in high places without
disgracing many of its prominent
members, and it, therefore, uses Opt
ates instead of the surgeons knife.
It's malefactors construe each repub-
lican victory as an endorsement of
their conduct and threaten the party
with defeat If they are interfered
with. Not until that party passes
through period of fasting In the
wilderness will the republican lead
ers learn to study public questions
from the standpoint of the masses.
Just as with individuals, "the
cares of the world and the deceit
fulness of riches choke the truth"
so in politics, when party leaders
serve far away from home and are
not in. constant contact with the
voters, continued party success
blinds their eyes to the needs of the
people and makes them deaf to the
cry of distress. M sas
