We are headquarters for all
these goods, and carry perhaps
the largest stock of any store in
Northern Minnesota. The reason
that we are having such success
in this line is because we buy
right and sell right.
1t is now more than a year
ago when rubber goods began
to advance very rapidly that we
entered into a contract at a set
price for large quantities of rub
Der goods, to be delivered as we
needed them. The contract
called for several gross of fountain
syringes and hot water bottles, in
fact we were doubtful at the time
if we could use what we had
agreed to take. We have found
however, that we made a shrewd
business move, as rubber has
continued to advance, and other
dealers have been compelled to
advance their prices, but we
have been able to continue to sell
at our old price always just a
little lower than others. We
refer you to our stock, and ask
you to judge for yourself if you
can get the same quality, for even
Is per cent more. We must
sell the goods in order to
keep up our end Of the con-
tract, and in order to do so we
must continue to give better
values. Our rubber goods
business has been heavier than
any other year, during the past
year and we know that the pub
lie appreciates this one fact that
we have always made it point
to keep quality foremost in the
selling of merchandise.

ODD WAY TO SECURE COPPER
to Catch Valuable Metal Co
ing to Waste in Water.

There are many kinds of mines and
numerous inventions for saving pre-
cious metals, but perhaps the strang.
est method ever devised came to light
in Butte, Mont. y
When mines were discovered in
Butte, 1t was found that the water
contained in the assures was strongly
impregnated with copper, so much so,
indeed, that iron cages, cars and
tools, of all kinds were quickly de
stroyed by the affinity of the copper
for the iron.
Only a few weeks immersion in the
water reduced a mass Of iron to pulp
a fact that made it necessary for al
material used in the mine and com
posed of iron or steel to be replaced
at frequent intervals.
For a long time the water pumped
out Of the mine went to waste, as NJ
method was known of extracting the
copper from it. After a while, how
ever, a discovery was made that wa:
utilized to good advantage.
Some tin ans found their way int.

by this process, and Immediately pu

Then he put in a series of reservoir

the water ran. These he filled with a

he found that the old junk was t

A Great Windmill.

Gated in the extreme western borders
of the magnificent Golden Gate Park,
not far from the beach of the Pacific
Ocean.
The windmill is used to pump water
up into several large reservoirs that
are placed in different locations about
the center Of the park grounds. The
immense vanes have a capacity of
from rs to 100 horsepower. The ex-
IRENE ends of the describe a
circle 200 feet in diameter and swing
around rapidly and with great force.
The total cost Of erecting this great
windmill was about 100000.

A novel and effective knife sharp
ener has been devised by a New York
man. It is more pretentipus than the
ordinary sharpening stone used in
most kitchens, but is said to give
more satisfaction. A small iron wise
clamps to the edge of the table, and
upright in the wise are two triangular
sharpening steels held by thumb
screws. The knife is drawn back
and forth between the steels, thus be-
ing sharpened evenly on both sides at
once. The steels being triangular,
different edges may be brought into
use as others become dull, and it can
easily be seen that the life Of the de.
vice at this rate will be a long one.

three kinds: Those known as spec

center suggesting a pair Of sp~ectacles;
the camel-back bridges, which go up

semi-circular bridges. The reason the
Japanese SO often have curved bridges
is because until modern times they

ANATOMY OF WOMAN Is AWRY
Miss Moses, Nurse, Has Every Inc
ternaI Organ on Side Opposite
to Usual Location.

Philadelphia-The mixed anatomy
of Alexander Jordan, whose heart,
spleen, liver and stomach are reversed,
according to the standard set in the
construction, is paralleled in the case
of Miss Anna A. Moses, a trained
nurse of Osterburg, Bedford county,
Pa. Miss Moses not only possesses
all Of the transpositions boosted by
Jordan, but was treated for append1-
citis six years ago by applications on
the left side of her abdomen.
She presents complete case OF
"situs inversus," every organ of her
body being on the side opposite to
where 1t is usually found. Even her
lungs, from an inspection of the lobes
by X-ray, were found to be inverted.
Miss Moses writes with her right
hand, but says in learning to do so In
childhood, before her mixed anatomy
was known, she seemed to be conquer
ing a protesting tendency to lefthand-
edness which would be the effect Of an
inherited rightLandedness from both

She discovered that her heart was
on the right side, or rather the wrong
side, while studying to be trained
nurse, in 1898, but did not suspect
that the reversal was complete, and,
as she suffered not even the slightest
illness, was not examined by a ply
stefan until 1904.
Then she began to feel pains in the
lower part of her abdomen on the left
side, and visited DR.. Mervyn r. Tay-
lor, at 1706 Race street. Miss Moses
laughed gayly when the physician be-
came perplexed in sounding her heart
