EDISoN'S CEMENT HOUSE IS READY
Wizard Declares He Will Cast
His First Home by January.

New York.-"Two years ago said
that I was working on plan by
by which I hoped to cast a house OF
cement as foundryman casts car
wheel out of iron. I now feel safe in
saying that have solved the problem.
All preliminary experiments have
proved successful, and, in December
or January. l expect to cast my first
house, If succeed, as feel certain
shall, the cement house will be my
greatest invention. 1t will solve the
problem of housing. 1t will take
from the cityslums everybody who
is worth taking. Why, I shall make
it possible to build house with a
good cellar, seven large or ten ordinary
size rooms, and a bath, for 81, 200.
Come out and see my molds."
In an open space, surrounded by
planers and fathers, were what
appeared to be the foundation walls
and part of the frst story of an iron
house. A peep over the top showed
that there were two iron bouses, one
set within the other, with an eight.
inch space between. Into this space
cement is to be poured; then the two
iron houses will be taken down, and
the finished structure of artificial
stone will be ready for occupancy.
"Ill dig the cellar of this house
with a steam shovel" Mr.. Edison
continued, and cast it in six hours.
Two locomotive cranes will lift the
232 cubic yards Of cement that the
house will contain and pour it into
the openings at the top. The cement
will pass through twelve sluice boxes
and as it is being poured, a number
of men will churn it with iron bars
at the end of which will be large
ball. The churning will be for the
purpose of sending waves through the
cement, so that it shall fill every
particle of the molds.'
And it is a wonderful house that
the famous wizard of science intends
to build. There will not be enough
wood to make a hundred dollar fire
even II all of it we're to be consumed
Floors, mantels, picture-molding.
and decorations all will be of cement
The bathtub, washstands, and sinks
will be cast of the same material
Edison says he can make cement
bath-tubs that will be as smooth a!
highly polished glass. All that is re
quired to do is to have highly polished
molds. Wherever beauty is desired
IN extra finish will be put on tn,
casting forms.
No street Of Edison cement house
will be dull thoroughfare of uniform
color and design. One house will b
built on one plan; the next on another
One house will be gray, another res
or light green, while the third ma,

Ooll|vER'S ANSWER TO CANNON

LaFollette'S s Magazine: The bro ad-
side of invective which Speaker Can
non recently fired at the "Insur-
gents has received marked attention
from the System" press. But his
cry is not new one. 1t lacks even
the merit of originality. His under
taking to read the Insurgents" out
of the Republican party is only a rep
etition of what was heard from day
to day fn the senate during the tariff
debate. To the threats and re-
proaches of Aldrich, he merely adds
the Cannon coarseness of speech-the
picturesque language" of the speak
er.
This attempt to read out of the
party those Republicans who refused
to support and vote for the Aldrich-
Cannon tariff program was the favor
ite retort in debate of Aldrich and
Cannon and their associates" 1t
served them in the place of debate.
1t was their stock argument"
At the conclusion of the tariff de-
bate, Senator Dolliver of Iowa
answered this argument. Also, he
disposed of it in the usual Dolliver
style, with characteristic complete.
ness and conclusiveness. He disposed
of it for all comers and for all time.
Turning to Aldrich and his "associ-
ates" in the senate, Dolliver said
I can not support this measure, be-

SPRING MEDICINE Habit
STARTED AS RELIGIOUS RITE
Considered Necessary to Health bv Indians
Now Universal Custom Everywhere

into the universal custom of taking a
spring medicine Like kickapoo Sagwa.
Inese Children Of Nature learned
through experience that in the spring
months of March and April their bodies
underwent mysterious change. In
our day we call this "spring fever"
They noticed that their cattle, horses.
and dogs shed their coats in these spring
months. and that while they were she'd
ding their coats they were drowsy.
tired. weak. and liable to die
We all feel worn out in the spring.
Our systems reach low ebb Of
strength. We yawn, have headaches,
our food does not digest properly. our
blood becomes SO impure that the skin
breaks out in bolts and p:mples or
looks sallow and yellow. We sleep
longer time than usual. but are not
rested. Something is wrong. we do not
know what.
The Indians observed that their dogs
dug in the ground and ate roots in the
spring. Their chickens hurried about
and scratched to find the first Of GER
tain shooting bulbs and plants. Their
horses browsed in the woods. n!bbl:nS
certain buds and twigs.
Learning from these phenomena OF
nature, they gathered certain twigs,
roots. gums, banks. and leaves. and
took them for their own ailments.
Tho changes were SO marked that this
custom Of taking these herbal extracts
grew into q religious rite. All the In
dams OF the tribe were then compelled
to take these compounds OF the Medi-
enc Man during certain periods. This
rito was looked upon as necessary to
prevent sickness. to guard against eX-
listing diseases. and to ward off con-
teeion and make tho body strong and
keep it healthy.
