USE DEW AS DRINKING WATER
Method of Collecting for Use of Sol.
ders of British Garrison at
Gibraltar.

Hitherto dew has been used
Ias a beverage only in poetry,
by the sun, flowers, and but
terflies. 1t has recently been robbed
of all its poetic character by being
used for the refreshment of English
soldiers.
The English administration at Glib
raltar, where water is very scarce,
now collects dew by the following
very simple method: A large pit is
dug in the earth and covered with dry
wood or straw, which in turn is COW
cred either with earth or with sheet
iron.
The straw or wood serves as heat
insulator and effectually prevents the
conduction of heat from the ground
to the layer of earth or the sheet iron
above. Consequently this earth or
iron cools after sunset much more
rapidly than the ground, so that it's
temperature soon falls below the dew
point of the surrounding air.
Hence dew is formed upon the iron
or the layer of earth in very large
quantities. The water thus obtained
is drained off into reservoirs and after
Qualification is used for drinking

A MANS SUCCESS
Story Of How He Spends Money
Lest The Public Forget.

There is man in Kansas who man
ufactures flour.
He uses the same kind of machinery
used by other first class millers, and he
buys his wheat in the open market,
and he has no magician in his employ
to weave spells or mutter lamentations,
so it is difficult to see how his flour can
be better than other flour.
But he says that it is better, and he
never wearies of saying so. The news
papers in his town are full of his vehe-
ment announcements. His is the all
firedest flour that you ever saw. 1t is
simply impossible for any other flour
to be SO good. Women who don't use
his Incompatible flour are wrecking
the lives of their husbands and child
rem. This miller has convinced the
people of the town and surrounding
country that his flour is the best that
ever happened; he has also convinced
outsiders; his insistent, clamorous
kiyoodling has had its effect.
The other day he secured the con.
tract for furnishing all the Harvey no.
tells with t1our-a contract of which he
is naturally proud. He is shipping his
flour in every direction, and his bust
ness is increasing so rapidly that he
will have to build kiosk on top of his
mill to make more room.
1t stands to reason that other millers
can and do make as good flour, but
this man wins and builds up gigantic
business by his everlasting harping up
on the excellence of his product. He
never allows people to forget his blamed
old flour; he has dinned his flour into
their ears SO long and so persistently
that they dream of it at night and can
think of nothing else by day, and they
want samples of it in their cotfins when
they die.
1t is by such advertising as this that
big industries and accompanying big
fortunes are built up.-Emporia Ga
Zette.

Treatment Of Burns.

Small burns are too lightly regard.
ed. Though seemingly slight, they
are not properly treated, or il the
blood is in bad condition they may
fairly mar ones beauty. A young girl
dropped some hot fudge on the fore
finger Of her right hand. 1t did not
pain very much, and after the pre-
liminary scream little attention was
paid to it. The blister that was
raised was allowed to break rather
than be opened carefully with an anti.
septic needle: poison got into it, the
finger became infected and eventually
had to be removed below the second
joint. Exclude air from any burn,
however slight This can be done in
several ways. If no other remedy is
at hand common kitchen soap applied
in thick paste helps remove pain.
