A Housing Appetite
 Is a Keen DeIiUht
And What is of Greater Interest, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Enable the Stomach to Digest What
 ever Is Eaten.

We all like to see the way healthy ehidr@n chi l1, deyour e, IF their % meals; meals; Would ought to be a delight. It is one of life's chief enjoyments. People who cannot relish a good meal are apt to from M 6 which th they h view the world w sua as a sorry place to live in. So let us learn to employ the best means of har- tract from our daily grind all the pleasure there is to be had. This we can do by keeping our stomachs in prime. active working order.
 A majority of people have come to know the blessings which an occa- sional use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab are unquestionably the most popular remedy known, for the reason that dyspepsia is the national disease, and these wonderful little tablets have long since acquired a, national reputa- ton as thoroughly reliable and efficient cure for all forms of dyspep- sia and indigestion.
 No matter how great the excess of food taken into the stomach, one or two of these tablets will digest every particle of it. package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should always be in the house: Many a person has saved himself from a serious attack after heavy meals, such as are eaten Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving and other holidays and festal seasons.
 After attending banQuets, late SUD- pers, heavy fancy dinners, after-thea ire partie, etc, where one has dined sumptuously and 1uxuriantly, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should invariably be used, as they digest the food per fectly and completely, and prevent all possibility of dyspepsia, which, with out their use, is more than likely to ensue.
 Americans are exceedingly fond Of the good things of life, and there is apt to be great excess of eating, and the only way to overcome its bad effects on the stomach is to employ a powerful and efficient digestive such as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which always insure good digestion.

MUNICIPAL ECONOMY"
 EXPLOITED BEFORE
 LOCAL BUSINESS MEN

Municipal economy was the sub 5ect of interesting lecture given to the Business Mems association in Ma sonic temple last night by George B. Ford of Columbia university, a city planning expert. The lecture was i1- frustrated and a very profitable even ing resulted The lecture was in line with the series arranged by the as- sociation to promote the city planning idea in Bridgeport. There was large attendance and quite a few women were present
 The illustrations were of work that
 Ar. Ford did in Jersey City and New ark The speaker divided his lecture under such sub-heads street light ing, street 1ayouts, business blocks, municipal buildings, parks, railroad stations, approaches and water front. 1fr- Ford thought that Bridgeport could be beautified with very little diff rflculty. The city possesses natural advantages for the work. He spoke of how the city was idealy situated for "a manufacturing city and has every reason to expect that it will be- come one of the largest nanufactur ing cities in the country

In addition to this, the round

conditions, is subject TO from 10 to

ground is damp or wet, this may be
increased to so per cent; this is
overcome by the Cree ping Grip"
tractor.
Another special feature of this
machine is the enclosed type Of
transmission, of which we have this
to say:

Creeping Grip" transmission gears
are chrome nickeI-steel, heat-treat-
ed and case-hardened, with roller
and ball bearings Of latest design,
enclosed in tight dust proof case,

Thus the gears are kept clean and
always fabricated.
Compare this feature with the
ordinary cast gears on other trac-
tors, exposed to dirt, sand, etc. The

machine is reported a success and
meets with a good demand. How
ever, in travelling on hard roads, or
where there is considerable gravel
and stone, it has usually been
charged against this construction
that it is subject TO excessive wear.
The new type Of tractor here
shown is also of the endless chain
type, and known as the Creeping
Grip tractor. This machine has
been developed and tested out dur
ing the past year and is a great
success; the special construction
overcoming any possibility of ex-
cessive wear by means Of special
ly designed tractor shoes.
We claim for the Creeping
Grip" tractor a number of new
features in construction. The shoes
on the traction band, or chain, are
solid steel castings; each shoe a
complete part in itself; no pieces
to bolt on, or take OF, or get loose.
Every shoe is sufficiently strong to
carry the entire weight of the trac-
tor. so that in crossing railroad
tracks, or going over boulders, il
will not iniure the shoes.

Results i'm Practical
Work

Following are results of the
tests of the Appleby Cotton Picker
made at Anderson and Piedmont,
S. c., in March, 1912:
The first test was on the 1000
acre farm of Judge J. S. Fowler,
located three miles from Anderson.
Among those who witnessed the
test was a representative of the
Anderson Intelligencer, from
whose report, published March 10,
1912, we make the following ex.
cerpts.
THE machine was operated
continuously without a hitch for
about five hours, with no stops
other than for an occasional oil
ing and examination of the ma
chanical details by interested
spectators. The conditions under
which it operated were very I'M
favorable; the ground was soft
from several successive rainy

days.
THE cotton plants had been pre-
viously hand-picked and had stood
in the field two or three months
later than it should have. for lack
of help to pick it. The plants were
dead, brittle and rotten. Much of
the cotton had been washed from
the plants by recent rains and that
remaining on them was so damag-
ed by weather exposure that none
of it would grade better than dog
tail quality.
Notwithstanding these unfavor-
able conditions, this wonderful
little machine, about the size of
an ordinary moving machine and
weighing about fourteen hundred
Q,400) pounds, operated beautiful
ly and without exception was pro-
nounced a complete success by all
observers.
THE machine was operated by
one man to drive "a 16-year-old boy
can operate it, and one team of
mules to pull it, and in three and

one-half hours running time, pick
ed 400 (actual weight) pounds of
Cook seed cotton. Twelve hun
dred pounds of Cook seed cotton
in this locality averages a net bale
of five hundred (500) pounds. Ac-
cording to this showing this ma
chine, conservatively stated, would
pick better than a bale a day of
normal cotton not previously hand
picked, at the normal time of the
year, with condition Of plant,
ground, ETC., reasonable and with
no other expense than a team and
a driver to operate 1t.
Contrast this with what it costs
cotton growers of this vicinity to
handpick the same amount of cot
ton in the same length of time and
the cotton growers of the southern
states will appreciate what COM
plete revolution of the cotton rails
ing industry this means.

The "Creeping Grip"
Tractor
A New Type of Case
line Tractor

A number OF articles have ap-
peared in the farm and implement
publications on the subject Of
tractors, analyzing the mechan-
ical and economical features OF the
machines and the existing practice
among designers of tractors in this
country and continental Europe. II
is stated that practically every ar
ticle that has been offered by Euro
pean inventors and manufacturers
has been duplicated in this country.
In France they have the Lefebure
tractor OF the endless chain type,
which has demonstrated its trac-
ton efficiency. In the motor trials
held at Chsles, France, last March,
the Lefebure machine was report
ed one OF the most successful at
the trials mentioned.
We have. in the United States,

Nevertheless, the Appleby Cot
ton Picker does it. Its powers of
discrimination are so much more
delicate and the even and thor
ough character of its work so
much more uniform and depend
able than that of the ordinary ne
gre cotton picker of the south that
these excellencies alone would
distinguish it, and draw forth the
exclamation first mentioned with
out reference to the fact that the
product of one such machine is
equal to the product of IL to Is
average negroes in the field. That
is TO say. the machine covers the
ground IL to Is times faster than
the average negro picker in the
same length of time.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-11-27

even greater results in the cot
ton fields than the Appleby Irvine
Binder did in the harvest fields.
1t is not exaggeration of Ian
guage to say that the Appleby
Cotton Picker exhibits almost hu-
man intelligence while at work in
the field, even from a purely me-
chanical point Of view. It is, in
truth, a curious and apparently
impossible machine.
To be able to distinguish ripe
from unripe cotton is certainly a
human attribute. No one would
ever expect TO find it in any but
the human machine. Reversely,
no one would expect that an inan!-
mate, insensate. soulless, mechan-
ical continuance could possibly be
so constructed that it's steel fn-
gers, when thrust automatically
into the bushes of a cotton plant,
would. penetrating every part,
separate the limbs, grasp the hollis
of cotton, select therefrom only

ket located on the rear platform
and requires no attention from the
operator until an alarm gong is
automatically sounded to indicate
that the basket Is full.
THE cotton delivered into the
basket is so much cleaner and
free from trash that 1t will easily
command a half cent higher sell
ing price per pound than hand
picked cotton. There is no fine
trash mixed in the lint.
More than all. this machtns
means to the cotton grower that
when he has spent his money and
labor to raise a years cotton crop
he is certain of being able to pick
and save 1t all. no matter how
many acres he may have; 1t solves
the labor problem. Thousands OF
bales that have gone to waste in
the past season and that have been
left standing unpicked and plowed
under for want of help, might have
been saved to southern planters
by the use of this machine"

Comparison of this % inches of
bearing surface with 60 inches OF
the bearing surface of the Creep
ing Grip" tractor band on the
ground will show that in the
Creeping Grip" tractor we get
greater traction efficiency with
little more than half the weight Of
the ordinary wheel tractor, thereby
reducing the cost of operation OF
the machine for fuel. For every

for this machine, is that the trac-
tor bands on each side of the ma
chine oscillate over distractions;
the front end of the tractor band
climbing on top of the obstacle,
leaves the rear end of the traction
band on the ground, making two
points OF contact, and as soon as
the center is passed, the front end
of the tractor band touches the
ground again, continuing the two
points Of contact and consequently
