A CLEVER INVENTION.
From Sundays Daily

'uuutS bhi1f
J. q. Kirkpatrick, manager Of the
hardware department Of the Bashford
Burmistcr Co., has invented an ironing
board which is such a marked improve
mcnt over all other devices Of that
kind, that IL should prove a boon to
every household. Every housewife Is
familiar with the ordinary ironing
board which is generally used with
one end placed on "A table and the 9th.
or an the top Of chair. There Is also
patent device with supports, but the
objection To IL Is that the end Of the
board cannot be used. The Kirkpat'
rick board is supported by a simple
,russlike arrangement, which holds II
rigid and yet permits the use Of one end
Of the board, the other end being plac'
ed under the edge of the table. Mr.
Kirkpatrick has applied for patent
and intends TO manufacture the in
vention on large scale, as he IL re-
eeiving many orders for II.

When you think of Indigestion think of Kodol, for it is without doubt the only preparation that completely digests all classes of food. And that is what you need when you have indigestion or stomach trouble-something that will act promptly but tho roughly; something that will get right at the trouble and do the very work itself for the stomach by digesting the food that you eat and that is Kodol. It is pleasant to take.

ingts Usefulness Constantly Increases.

able In general way. Still, I will
try to- tell you enough facts about
leather to show you how wide and
useful are its ranges.
Uncle Joe's Story About Leather.
Leather is the skin OF animals
rendered pliable and durable through
preserving process called tanning.
Before man had mastered; or even
attempted the manufacture Of woven
garments from either hair or veget-
able fibre. the skins of animals prob
ably fprnished him with clothing.
Tanned leather in its various
forms is said to be the most durable
form Of pliable material. That
means. It may be most often bent.
stretched. or opened and shut. with
out destroying its usefulness as an
article of aid to man.
when the first man killed the
first animaLAfor food. he probably
only tore hole In Its body and took
out enough meat to satisfy his i'm
mediate hunger. When he went
home 1t is barely possible the first
woman had had a bad hunting trip
on her own account and upbraided
him for not having brought home
some meat TO her. To preserve peace In
the family It is only reasonable to
suppose that the next time the man
went forth and killed he brought
back more meat: which necessitated
the tearing Of a larger hole In the
carcass OF the animal he had slain.
As the family rrew the first man
probably kept tearing and tearing
until he had the whole skin of. And
It is Just as possible that a cold
wind may have sprung up and made
him throw or wrap the skin of the
slain animal around his body for
warmth. rasA'.s..>fs

are all of leather. Your papa put
leather hinges ON the chicken coop
door only yesterday. And the pres
ent increase in the price Of leather
has largely Teen caused by the ad-
vent Of the automobile. Fot, since
automobiling has t-'len the great
hold It has upon the American pub
lie, the demand fer leather Is almost
unprecedented. s,arly all chat
feurs are clad ss far as possible in
leather. for leather will stand more
wear and tear in similar service than
any other article. Indeed. 80 serv-
iceable is leather that man has at

There is no reason why young men
especially young men of the city who
are not fully acquainted with the
problems of home keeping, should not
have an opportunity to inform them
selves on matters which In establish
ing a new home are so important
Thousands of young men marry with
out having any adequate idea of the
demands upon them, financial and
otherwise, in the new way of living
Boarding house and restaurant life
does not induce familiarity with
such facts.
The interest with which these men
in New York City have availed them
selves Of the opportunity of becoming
acquainted with various home prob
lens argues well for the need in this
direction. Too many men we are told
have practically no interest in their
homes and what they ought to mean.
This is typical example Of the
way in which the Young Mems Chris
tian Association is trying to meet
conditions and fit into the lives Of
men today. The Association tries
to make the life of the young man,
particularly he who Is away from his
home and in the city. more comfort
able. so II offers him attractive
'amusemnets. instruction and general
assistance in order to hold his interest
to direct into right lines. and to
lead him into habits Of self-resprct
and self-improvement. The Asso-
citation makes home for many a
young man who. otherwise would
be thrown on the street or limited
in his own life TO hall bedroom and
a boarding-h house table. So It offers
him club which, he can consider a
home and thousands and thousands do
considefNit home. But with all OF
this, the Association stands to make
men OF those VINO, when the proper
time comes. can startga home OF their
own with right ideals. f-t
Thus, this organization of men
in the business Of making men seeks
to spread out and fit into the lives OF
men in the most wholesome manner
whether 1t be by social, physical. re-
ligious or educational activities. II
finds that the all-round man Is the
one that society needs today. and the
one who realizes the highest con.
Iception OF the home will be OF the
greatest use among his fellows.
