1t is matter of some congratulation
that the United States, though one of the
youngest of nations. has never been with
out some pioneer showing the way in the
development of some invention calculated
TO aid the worlds advancement.
From the very infant days of the ma

Franklin also invented a printing press
and a stove, but 1t is because of his re-
searches with electricity that he is best
known as the first in the line of American
inventors.
Fulton followed the lead of Franklin
and was next to bring fame to American
mechanics, his contribution being the
steamboat.
Fulton first studied painting and was
an artist of fair repute, but his mind early
turned to mechanics. and he especially d.
rected his attention to the making of a
boat that should run by steam.
1t is rather interesting to note how
closely and appreciatively France has fol-
lowed the researches of these gifted
American inventors.
Franklin got recognition there, so did
the Wright brothers. and it was while
Fulton was in France that he did most
of the actual work that was finally to
result in the Clermont.

give the world its most notable inven-
ton OF the second quarter of the nine
teenth century, the telegraph.
Morse was a Yale graduate, and, like
Fulton, he studied painting. He became
good enough to win medals abroad, but
chemistry and electrical and galvanic eX-
periments so appealed to him that he
began to give his entire attention to
them.
On voyage from Havre to New York
In 1882 he conceived the idea of a mag
netic telegraph This he exhibited to
Congress in 1887 and when it won but
scant attention at home he tried to patent
1t in England.
His claims to priority of invention
over Prof. Wheatstone of England re-
suited in most bitter controversy.
Morse's belief in the efficiency of his
invention led him to struggle on In spite
of the fact that his means had become
depleted, and he was really living in alb
solute want. In 1913, when he had all
but yielded to despair. Congress, on the
last night Of the session. appropriated
$4,000 for an experimental line between
Baltimore and Washington.
The outcome is we'll known. The news
of the election of Polk was transmitted

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.

To cure rheumatism, it is necessary
20 rid the system of the excess of uric
acid; and to do this a proper diet is
even more important than the use of
drugs, though in very severe eases
the latter are not to be despised in
conjunction with the dieting that is
absolutely essential.
The Massachusetts General Hospital
of Boston allows the following diet
for its rheumatic patients: Graham
or brown bread, white bread (limited
to one-half slice daily, corn, granum,
rice, milk, eggs, flour, buildings, crack
ers, beans, peas, all kinds of vege-
tables Except potatoes), tomatoes,
and asparagus, rhubarb, fresh fish,
butter, cheese, buttermilk, cream, al
kaline waters and toast. Avoid: Red
meats, starch or potatoes, white
bread and sugars.
The sensible use of water, both in
ternally and externally, plays large
part in the prevention or cure of
rheumatism. One or two glasses, eth
er hot or cold, taken before break
fast every morning is excellent to
start the organs of digestion for the
day, and at least one glass should be
taken between meals. Often the plain
water viii be enough to move slight
ly constipated person, but, if not, a
mild medicated water may be taken
instead. 1t is very essential to keep
the bowels open in cases of rheuma-
tism.
Uric acid in the system is poison,
and it must not be forgotten that
poisonous waste matter is also elm
mated through the skin. The pores
of the skin must be kept freely open
and not allowed to become clogged, if
we hoped to obtain the best results
with rheumatic eases. A hot bath at
bedtime is often very helpful. The

The thoughtful cook always avails

possibilities Of cold dishes They are
not only a pleasant relief from the
constant succession Of hot ones, but
they have the advantage that they may
be prepared beforehand.
It should always be remembered,
however, that they must be really cold,
otherwise they do not present that
fresh and appetizing appearance which
is their chief charm. This applies es-
pecially to salads which should always
be kept on ice, or in a very cool place,
for little time previous to serving.

SYNOPSIS.

Murray Sinclair and his gang of wreck
ers were called out to clear the railroad
tracks at Smoky Creek. McCloud, a
young road superintendent. caught Sin
clair and his men in the act of looting
the wrecked train. Sinclair pleaded in
nocence, declaring 1t only amounted to a
small sunl-a treat for the men. McCloud
discharged the whole outfit and ordered
the wreckage burned. McCloud became
acquainted with. -Dicksie Cunning, a girl
of the west, who came to look at the
wreck. She gave him a message for Sin
clair. Whispering" Gordon Smith told
president Bucks OF the railroad, of Nc
Clouds brave fight against a gang of
crazed miners and that was the reason
for the superintendent's appointment to
his high office McCloud arranged to
board at the boarding house of Mrs Sin
clair, the eX-foreman's deserted wife.
.Dicksie Dunnlng was the daughter of the
late Richard Dunning, who had died of
broken heart shortly after his wifes
demise. which occurred after one year of
married life. Sinclair visited Marion Sin
clair's shop and a fight between him and
McCloud was narrowly averted. Smoky
Creek bridge was mysteriously burned.
McCloud prepared to face the situation.
President Bucks notified Smith that he
had work ahead. McCloud worked for
days and finally got the division running
in fairly good order. He overheard Dick
