! really good product among these Sec
ondary brands or goods.
This is due in some instances to an
occasional surplus stock or good ma
terial which must be used up at times
when demand Is relatively slack. Best
grade may then be put into secondary
or unadvertised lines.
But the very next package you pur-
chase of these unadvertised grades
under same label may be made from
an entirely different lot Of materials,
vastly inferior In quality. and pos
sibly less In quantity per package.
Have you noticed that?
Well--the cause Of all this variable
ity, and uhcertc..aty of quality, is clear
enough when you think 1t over.
No real responsibility attaches to
the unadyertised product.
The manufacturer has no advertising
appropriation at stake behind Its quail
ity. He has not given any Hostages

brand, OF same kind, tomorrow at
practically no expense but for new
labels, IL the existing brand be killed
for profit through inferior quality.
All Of which Is everlastingly differ
ent with the advertised brand, IL that
be robbed for profit.
Because, the manufacturer cannot, in
himself for the loss of market with
consumers, which has been built up, at
large expense, through several seasons
of strong advertising.
Moreover, he knows that only the
continuous approval demand, and ap-
probation of consumers for his adver-
tised brand, can keep him clear of the
larger retailers control over his rea-
sonable profits and his future expan-
sion.
So--the manufacturer who once ad-
vertlses his brand of goods, in suffi-
cient way to influence consumers, takes
mighty good care to stand by" the
quality and value in that brand, what
ever he may do to manipulate an extra
profit on his "side lines'--which are his
unadvertised or secondary grades.
This situation Is not only q good
thing for consumers, but, in the end,
mighty good thing for manufacturers
--as we will prove to their satisfaction
IL they write us for the evidence.

Locomotives That Bend.

l
| Locomotives so long that the boiler
have to be Jointed to enable them to
4 take curves properly are the latest
things in traction. and may be seen on
the Santa Fe road. Locomotive boilers
| have for some time been made in two
sections, but the introduction of a flex-
| ible joint is new idea which we find
described In The Engineering News.
| The immense length Of boilers on To-
| comotives having from six to ten driv-
ing axles Is liable to cause interference
with bridge abutments, the walls of
tunnels, or with cars standing or pass >
ing on an adjacent track
These difficulties suggested the use
OF flexible boiler formed by the use
OF flexible connection at the separa !,
BILE joint. Two engines embodying this
principle have been built, each having
distinct type Of flexible joint. Under
this arrangement the rear section is
attached rigidly to ross-braces or
bearers on the rear main frames In the
usual manner. The forward section is
rigidly attached in the same way to tho
main frames Of the steam truck This
arrangement eliminates the use Of
sliding supports to permit the truck to
swing under the boiler. It is expect
ed to reduce curve resistance and
fiange wear; and also to give the en-
CINE greater stability when on curves.
placement of the boiler on the truck.
In addition to this. there is less COM
plfcation OF the steam piping. On a
16 degree curve, the two sections of
the boiler form an angle Of about 178
degrees, instead Of forming a straight
chord line.
ION one of these two engines, the
flexible joint is modification of the
ball Joints commonly used for sub
aqueous crossings Of water mains, etc.
The joint consists Of two cast
iron tubes or sleeves. somewhat smaller
than the boiler shell and Of such diam
eters as to telescope together. One end
Of each sleeve is formed as segment
of sphere, and is fitted to a corre-
spending segment bolted to the inside
Of the boiler shell. The latter segment
is made in two pieces for convenience
in erection. Packing rings are fitted
to the sleeves and to the spherical sur
faces; those on the latter are Of soft
metal and they can be adjusted by
means Of set screws. The telescope
portion forms slip joint for ekpan-
sion and contraction, and the spherical
connection permit Of the necessary lat.

The Worth of the Noice

How wonderful Is the human voice I,
1t Is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect OF man sits enthroned
yisibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself In the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet of
ola In the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning brush. The
soul OF man is audible, not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.

Sane Fourth in Chicago
LITTLE GIRLS ILLNESS LEADS 70 NEW WAYS OF
GIVING THE DAY MEANING
BY c. S. Raymond, of the Chicago Tribune.

Years ago little girl invalid in Chi
cago had her feeble grasp on life shak-
en- by the senseless blasts of noise
mad Fourth Of July. Her suffering
prompted the thought that in hundreds
IL not thousands of homes other suf-
ferers were enduring the pain caused
by a mad mans holiday.
The demand for sanity In the cele-
bration OF Independence day had this
beginning In Chicago and by 1909 its
result was day free from the bar
barity of preceding celebrations. A
steady drizzle of rain aided the re-
strictivc ordinances which had been
passed by the Chicago city council.
The quiet was almost that of the Sab
bath. The Fourth Of July had been
made noiseless day but 1t also had
been made an empty one.
Heretofore noise had taken the place
OF proper celebration. but ii In its
crudeness had served to mark the day.
1t was recognition, however thought
less were the rowdies whose dynamite
canes and high explosives gave it it's
distinctive character.
With the noise eliminated there was
void The day went without cele-
bretion and there were many men who
felt that American patriotism was
challenged by the awkward silence Of
that Fourth. From this grew a pur-
pose to give the day. now debrutalized,
proper meaning.
1t was proposed to q half dozen OF
the large and Influential organizations
of the city that they undertake to fill
the void. 1t was proposed that the day
be made to mean something to the cos
mopolitan elements of such city as
Chicago. 1t was suggested that the
foreign born citizens would be willing
to contribute to an expression OF SEN
timent which would be as truly
patriotic as the noise had been truly
barbaric.
These proposals took shape when
representatives Of the different pss1-
Citations met with members of>the Sane
Fourth association and undertook to
give the celebration Of 1910 worthy
character. The aid OF various ma
tionalities in the city was enlisted and
q pageant was planned
1t was necessary to limit the ex-
penses to a moderate sum, the larger
part Of the fund available being re-
quired for the United States army
tournament which had been secured
as q part Of the Chicago celebration
A promise of this tournament had been
made to the Chicago Commercial as
ISOLATION and when the plans for
genuine celebration OF the Fourth were

Inc citizens interested In making the
! celebration worthy of the day were no
longer concerned with eliminating OBJ
jectionable features. They had been
| suppressed effectively. 1t was neces-
s9ry merely to find substitute. The
plans of 1910 served to show that the
pageant idea could be retained in sue

reinforced by a number of sectional.

porhoods and communities together in

Tho Prosaio Fate of Race Horses.
From the New York World.

Recent news that Roseben, one of tho
most popular horses that ever raced on
an American track, is now the favorite
mount of Miss Wadsworth. daughter
of former Representative James w.
Wadsworth, in Washington. has caused
many people to ask what has become
of other famous race horses.
Roseben was taken off the tracks in
1909 after winning A races and $50, 900
in first money In six years besides
breaking several records. He could not
have been bought for $50. 900 three years
ago, but his legs went bad and when
two years ago 1t became evident his
racing days were over, his owner, Davy
Johnson, gave him to Mr.. Wadsworth.
knowing he would take good care of
the old racer. Mr.. Wadsworth gave
him to his daughter, who soon found
out that the race horse was as gentle
as child and made an ideal woman's
mount.

lived. His skeleton Is in the New York

Star Pointer was the greatest PAGER
in America. He was the first horse to
show a mile in less than two minutes,
but his death, short time ago, on a
stock farm In Tennessee, was unnoticed
in the public prints Many horsemen
considered Star Pointer the greatest
race horse America has ever produced
But after he made his famous record
of a mile in 1874 in 1897, he entered
the stallion ranks and passed from the
public mind. w. j. White, the "chew-
