Steel Betting.

Consul Frank S. Hannah, of Mag
deburg, writes that in a recent issue
of a German technical paper, the use
of steel bands to take the place of
leather betting for the transmission
of power is stated to have proved
practicable after repeated tests by
a firm in Charlottenburg its advan-
tages being given as follows:
The points of superiority claimed
for this new method for the trans
mission of power are the following:
On account of it's solidity a much
narrower band can be used, one
sixth of the width of the use of
leather band being sufficient; as a
result of this the steel band is not
so heavy as the usual band, and, as
it can be very tightly adjusted, the
distance between the engine and the
machine is not a matter of impor-
tance, as is the case with the leather
betting, where the transmission of
power is dependent upon the weight
of the hanging belt; by unique con-
tact, the slipping is much reduced,
experiments showing not over one
tenth of one per cent. The entire
loss of power is very small, about one
per cent. BY the lightness of weight
of the steel betting, the influence of
the centrifugal force is not so great,
allowing increased velocity.

forests-directly or indirectly, AYERS
the Forest Service Bulletin. In sew
eral ways it has been pioneer in
forest legislation and management.
1t is one of the few States-probably
the only State-whose forests are
nearly holding their own. Lumbering
has gone on there for a long time,
and every year there is something
ready to cut. The folly of stripping
land and leaving it defenseless
against erosion is well understood in
Maine, and the Legislature has taken
the preliminary steps toward law
compelling unwilling forest land own
ers to leave. enough small timber and

.LFT THE srNsHINE IN.

What great mistake a woman
makes not to let the sunshine in!
Does it profit her to gain bright
ness of her carpets when she is
bound to have her children lose the
brightness of their eyes and become
pale and wan?
There is no comfort in room that
the sun does not shine in. 1t is some
thing that should not be tolerated.
Many children become every day
more dull and uninteresting through
deprivation Of the sunshine they re-
quire.
Have you ever placed a plant in a
dark corner of the cellar and watch

And can you expect your babies to
thrive without the light that gives
life.

ALMOST A SHADOW
Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.

There's a wonderful difference be
tween a food which merely tastes
good and one which builds up
strength and good healthy flesh.
1t makes no difference how much
we eat unlsss we can digest it. 1t is
not really food to the system until it
is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman
says:
Il had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit Of
food such as l then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
Il lost flesh until l was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
First I dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape
Nuts, although I lad little faith it
would DO me any good.
But l continued to use the food
and have gained twenty pounds in
weight and feel like another person
in every way. feel as if life had
truly begun anew for me.
Il can eat anything l like now in
moderation, suffer no Ill effects, be On
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
nae away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring l have been able to do it my
self all alone.
my breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and a piece Of
toast, but generally only Grape-Nuts
and Postum. Aud I can work until
noon and not feel as tired as one
hours work would have made me a

TO HAVE WHITE HANDS.

If the skin is naturally white very
little care is required to preserve it.
A good soap, aided by pinch or two
of oatmeal, may be used for thor
ough cleansing of the hands twice a
day, and if nsedful to still further
cleanse them warm water-not hot
will do the necessary work.
Once a week they should be rub
bed ali over with slice OF lemon. If
these exquisitely white hands are in
clired to chap, camphor ice may be
applied at night and white gloves
wcrn to increase the softening effect.
Holes should always be cut in the
palms Of the gloves to allow ventila-
ton. For distressingly red hands
equal parts Of glycerine, lemon juice
and rose water may be applied night
ly under gloves. Daily applications
of lemon juice are sure to produce a
whitening effect.

Somebody asked Consul-General
Ozmun about the prospects for selling
building materials to the Constanti-
nople folks, and his answer is not en-
couraging. "The dwellings, even of
the wealthy classes, are built of wood
almost without exception, he writes.
"The exceptions are the few imposing
villas of rich Europeans, the large ad-
ministrations which possess their own
buildings, the imperial palaces, the
various embassies and consulates, and
schools and apartment fats. AS re-
CARDS the latter class of building, they
are nearly all of the iron girder type,

is imported from Marseilles. there are

Says the New York World: 1t is
the social and industrial uplift which
has made the temperance gain we
note to-day. Public sentiment re-
volts not at the use but at the abuse
of alcoholic drinks. The spirit of in
dividual freedom is very much alive
and is not controverted by the great
railroad and other corporations which
now give men their choice between
keeping sober and finding new jobs.
These employing bodies have done
more for abstinence than any form Of
legislation can possibly do.
