Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. DR.. Miles
Nervine quiets the irri-
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad after-effects.

Boring Square Holes.

1t would seem, on first thought. an
To bore square hole. In
reality nothing IS simpler. The basis
OF the operation is the fact that as n
circle rolls on a straight line. the cen
ter describes parallel straight line. For
instance, the hub of a carriage wheel
moves along at "A constant distance from
the ground. Hence if we cause cutter
situated at the center of cylindrical
shank To roll on IA straight guide the
cutter will trace out n straight line. If
the guide be broken into four sides of Il
square the shank viii roll on these
sides, one after the other, and the cutter
VIII rcam out an equal square.
Al the same time the motion of the
tool is n rotary one. very similar 10
boring round hole The only trouble
is that rs the shank changes from ono
side of the square guide to the adjacent
one there is n slight irreguIarity in the
motion, so that the corners Of the square
hole are not sharp but slightly rounded.
This rounding may he reduced 10 a min
imum and il is not n serious objection
