FABRICS FROM METTLE FIBER
Merits Halfway Between Cotton and
Linen and Is Very Much Cheaper
Than Either

Consul Augustus E. Ingram of Brad
ford quotes from a Yorkshire paper
an interesting statement that a Vienna
firm had apparently succeeded in OBJ
tain1ng from nettles a snow-white
plant bulk of fiber, with merits half
way between those Of cotton and lin
en-, with the further great merit that
it should be cheaper than either be-
cause OF the limitless quantity Of net
ties that can be grown, with slight en-
couragement, in many regions. Fab
rlc made Of nettle fiber is nothing
new-indeed it is stated that formerly
housewives made their bed sheets out
OF it-but hitherto no way has been
found of separating the valuable fiber
from the accompanying gums and
waste on commercial scale. It is
said that the Austrian government Is
undertaking the supervision Of inves,
legations and experiments on a deci-
siye scale.

TURBINE ENGINE Is Defined
Likensd to Paper Windmils Pinned
to End of Stick and Played
With by Children.

There are probably ftw people out
side the ranks of engineers who know
what a turbine is. The best idea
can give Of it," said an engineer, "is
to liken it to those paper windmills
which spin on the end of a stick, and
which are sold to children in the
streets. A turbine, III fact is like a
series of these revolving wheels fixed
one behind the other, only instead of
being turned BY the VIM l. is re-
volved by jets of steam The turbine
wheels turn on a shaft inside cyl-
inder, in The interior Of which are
fixed number Of stationary blades
which project into the spaces between
each wheel The purpose Of tEase
blades is to catch the steam and di-
rect 1t on TO the wheels at an angle
where it will exert the most force As
tho steam enters the cylinder it is
caught by the stationary blades and
DETECTED on 70 the blades Of the first
wheel, which arc set turning The
steam then passes to the ne<t. until
all the wheels are set whir1fne and
the ship is driven through the water"

HANDY TRUCK FOR ASH CANS

receptacle About Without Fear
Of Soiling Hands.

Many house holders employ man
by the week to carry out the ashes
solely because the job soils his own
hands or clothing A New York man
has come to the rescue by inventing
truck on which the ash barrel or
can can be wheeled out to the curb
with ease and freedom. The truck
resembles an ordinary baggage truck
except that the side bars converge at
the top into a single handle, and in a
slot near the top Of these bars Is a
sliding hook which engages the tops
OF barrels or cans. There are two

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
1t Is an Internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kin
dred diseases is an excess of uric
acid in the blood To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled and
the system so regulated that no more
acid will be formed in excessive
quantities. rheumatism is an internal
disease and requires an internal reme-
dy. Rubbing with Oils and Liniments
will not cure, affords only temporary
relief at best, causes YOU to delay this
proper treatment, allows the mGlady
to get firmer hold on you. Liniments
may ease the pain but they will no
more cure Rheumatism than paint
will change the fibre Of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a per-
feet and complete cure, which is call
ed "Rheumacide." Tested in hundreds
of cases, it has effected the most mar
velous cures; we believe it will cure
you. Rheumacide gets at the joints
from the inside" sweeps the poisons
out of the system, tones up the stom-
ach, regulates the liver and kidneys
and makes you we'll all over. Rheu-
macide strikes thu root of the dis
ease and removes its cause" This
splendid remedy is sold bN druggists
