Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders Of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble

corner of the first floor is located the
magnificent switch board which con-
trolls the entire electrical equipment
and serves the building. The board is
made of marble and is the finest type
of switchboard that could be pro-
cured.
Automatic Machinery.
All machinery, pumps and other me-
chanical appliances which serve the
building are located in the basement
enclosed with tile partitions and shut
off from the balance Ct the building by
metal fireproof doors. Inside the en-
CINE room is located the most modern
devices, which makes the building the
most convenient and comfortable strl1c-
ture in the city. All of the equipment
excepting the water cooling plant is
controlled automatically. The heating
system is divided into two parts which
are known as the direct and the indi-
rect. The direct being the vacuum sys-
TEN of steam heat which is supplied
to radiators located as needed through
out the various offices. The indirect
system not only furnishes sufficient
heat to care for the needs of the occu-
pants of the building in mild weather,
but also conveys fresh air heated the
same temperature as the interior of
the building to each of the rooms.
In severe weather or when the tenn
perature drops below Is degrees above
zero instead of drawing the air direct
from the atmosphere, the blowers which
are located in the basement. may be
closed and the large doors be opened
into the basement and air passed
through the basement to increase the
temperature before going to the coils.
For use in the summer season when
heat is not required, all windows are
equipped with Pullman type ventila-
tors.

but upon the recommendation of Mr.
Kouns, who succeeded Mr. Hurley as
general manager, the structure was run
up to ten stories. The foundation was
made to carry a thirteen story build
ing, and it is expected that in time
three stories Will be added.
The occupancy of the new Santa Fe
general office building marks the COM
pletion of the most up to date office
building devoted entirely to railroad
work in the west. Early in the yeer
of 1909, when the need for addition
office room became so apparent thai
the former general manager, James E.
Hurley, decided to try and secure an
immediate appropriation to cover the
cost of a building that would not only
serve the purpose of the system, but
be credit 10 the system, Topeka and
to the state of Kansas How readily
he succeeded in this can be seen by
visiting the building in all its granduer
as it now is.
When Mr.. Hurley sought this APP
preparation, the offices of the Santa
F'e were scattered along Kansas ave
nue. from Seventh to Tenth streets in
every building where a suitable room
could be found, and it was necessary
that some provisions be made to bring
these people back into the fold, thus
facilitating the work in a number of
ways in addition to reassem bling the

type machines. The machines which
control the elevators are located in a
pent house on the roof. and during the
busy hours, when employees are enter
ing or leaving the building, 1t is quite
interesting to watch the intricate
workings of this electrical apparatus.
Provision has been made for an addi-
tional machine when additional stories
are added.
Structure Is E1reproof.
Every consideration was given and
no expense was spared to make this
building an absolute freproof structure.
On the north, south and east sides
metal window frames with polished wire
glass were used, while all doors which
lead to the stairs and from halls into
the basement and first floor are made
of metal with wire glass or solid metal
panels The elevator doors are also
equipped with The same type of doors.

protected by metal fire proof doors at
either end and in addition to them,
there is a steel drop curtain controlled
by fusible link which allows the cur
tain to drop thus affordinG additional
protection against fire passing from
one building to another through these
bridges.

of steel, about $4,000 was invested in
this equipment
Excepting the room which is occu-
pied by the mechanical department, the
basement is to be used for the storage
of filing cabinets. On the first floor the
entrance is from the west and is con-
trolled by two revolving doors of the
most modern type After passing
through these doors one enters the
lobby which extends back to the eleva-
tor lending. The treatment of this
lobby was made one of the special fea-
lures of the building from the stand
point of appearances. The plain de-
sign gives the effect of certain rich

with a border in green and red.

Found Some Water.
In making the excavations for the
piers, considerable water was encoun-
tered just above the ledge and in order
to avoid this, should it's level be rails
ed during wet weather a system of
drains was made to connect with a
large sink which is located in the ca st
end of the basement
The basement floor is about eight feet
below the sewer level and an automatic
electric pump was installed to lift the
water out of this sink into the sewer,
the pump being controlled by a float so
that when enough water has been drain
ed into the sink to reach a certain
point it automatically starts the motor
controlling the pump and the sink is
emptied after which the motor ceases
operations The drains which have been
mentioned also take care of the water
which comes into the areaways on the
north and south sides of the building.
On top of these drains and above the
entire area of the basement was filed
with cinders and the concrete floor.
The areaways on the sides of the build
ing we're PUT in to furnish heat and
ventilation in the basement.
Weight on Columns.
The superstructure is of reinforced
concrete throughout and of the column
and girder type of construction. The
entire weight OF the building is carried
by the columns. The outer walls on
the north, east and south sides are
of hard burned common brick being
supported by girders reaching from one
column to another on each floor On
the north and south sides these walls
are faced with white glazed tile. The
east side is of an impervious brick

The contract for the excavation and
foundation was awarded on November

ton to erect a building rs feet WIDE

and seven floors; the foundations
however, being designed to support a
twelve-story building, so that, as addi-

cided to excavate down into the bowels

were taken on the site and it was as

holes having been drilled into the
solid stone steel bars having a diam
eter of one and three-fOurths inches

by cement. These rods extend up into

There are twenty-five of these piers
around the four sides of the building,
each measuring five and One-half feet
square at the basement floor line. The
interme diate columns are four feet

Increase in Gold Mining in
South Carolina.

The mine production of gold in
South Carolina in 1910 was 1858. 90
five ounces, valued at sss, &C
cording to H. D. McCaskey, of the
United States Geological Survey. an
increase in value over the outpit of
1909 of $27,971. The silver pro-
duction was 46 fine ounces, valued
at $25, in 1910; as against 1872
ounces, valued at $97, in 1909.
There was a small output of copper
reported from South Carolina in
1909, but not in 1910. The value
of the total production of precious
metals in South Carolina was $685.
449 in 1910 as against Sll,O76 in
1909.
The yield of gold and silver re-
ported from South Carolina in 1910
was from 10 placers and 2 deep
mines. The total quantity of ore
reported from the deep mines in
1910 was 24,l5s short tons, all of
siliceous gold ore, with an average
recoy erable value of $l.50 per ton.
The placers yielded loo.42 fine
ounces of gold in South Carolina,
and the remainder of the produc-
tion,-1,7 1880 fine ounces,-was
from deep mines.

Feet Growing Larger.

Shoe manufacturers claim that
the American woman's foot is grow
ing larger. The number two shoe
is almost obsolete, they say, and
sizes four and five are much COM
moner than three. The explanation
seems to be that the phenomenon is
due to the increased use of the fem
inine foot as means of locomotion.
The constantly increasing number
of women engaged in industry and
the growth in popularity of tennis,
golf and walking have had their in
evitable result, and common sense
has done much to abolish the wear
ing of pinching shoes. The tradi.
tio n that small feet are an excellent
thing in women has persisted long
and will not die without a struggle.
Conservatives need not fear that
women will carry this matter too
far; they know when to stop

Death of Mrs. Wideman. Funds
to be Raised For School.
Cotton sGinned and
Marketed.

Mrs. John Henry Wideman died
on the 9th inst, and was buried
the following day in the Plum
Branch cemetery. The funeral ser.
vices were conducted at the Baptitt I
church by Rev. Earle Freeman, as
sisted by Rev. o. N. Rountree. She
leaves husband and three little
children, and also father. She was
just thirty-one years old, and her
work looked unfinished, but one
wiser than we is back of it all.
At a patrons meeting yesterday
afternoon steps were taken toward
formulating plans for liquidating
the debt on the school building, and
for supplementing funds for current
expenses. The patrons instructed the
faculty to adopt the one session
plan instead of one in the morning
and one in theEafternoon.
The patrons meeting was follow
ed by an enjoyable social meeting
arranged by the teachers and pupils,
and for about three hours ice cream
was served to a large crowd that
had gathered. The purpose of this
meeting was to collect funds for q
library, and the nice little sum of
$3.50 was the result.
The efficient corps of teachers,
aided by the trustees, are determined
to make this one of the best schools
possible of its kind. Already houses
are in demand by those who wish
to move here to educate their chill
dren.
The Sunday school of the Baptist
church is observing Orphanae Q
Work Day to-day, and the proceeds
will be collected tomorrow for Con-

The town is alive to-day with
farmers who have come with their
cotton to the ginnery and to the
market. More than six hundred bales
have been ginned here during the
month of September.

Then market slowly and conserva-
lively, stopping sales again when
the market shows signs of weak
ness.
Cotton is low only because lots of
cotton is being offered for sale. The
exporters and manufacturers are, of
course, delighted buyers. The price
is practically certain to go up with.
in few months; but it is not going
up as long as plenty of cotton can
be had at present prices.
IF you feel like taking a load of
cotton to town-why, don't do it.
Take the team and go to the fields
and begin plowing or ditching. If
your negro tenant is in the notion
of going to market, advance him
five or ten dollars, take charge of
his cotton and put him to work
chopping wood, or digging ouh
stumps. 1t will be money to both
you and him.
In short, if II cents is too little
for cotton-and it is-don't sell at
that price. Advise your neighbor,
too, not to sell; but if he will that
is his loss. It's partly your loss,
too, for every bale rushed on the
market prematurely drags, down
prices for everybody else; but the
man who sells at 10 and IL cents
mostly is paying the penalty of his
own folly.
We do not believe that any thor
oughly well informed man thinks
that this years crop should sell for
less than l3 cents; the Farmers
Union and the Montgomery Con-
vention advise holding for IA or Is
cents. In any case, prices are bound
to go up, and we believe that any
farmer who sells at present figures
is cheating himself out Of SO to
$40 bale he would get by holding
besides injuring his fellow-farmers.
Hold your cotton.-Progressive
Farmer.
