An order for seven model I'd" road
sters was received last week from the
fire department of Milwaukee, by the
Chicago branch of the Cartercar com
pany. These cars will be used by the
department chiefs in responding to
alarms, and will add much efficiency
to the department.
In this connection 1t will be remem
bered that the fire department of De-
troit, Michigan, has some Cartercars
which have been in use for seven
years and they have just recently
added five more TO their equipment
The extreme reliability OF the Carter
car, coupled with its ability to give
good service in both winter and sum
mer, make it ideal for use by fire de
partments.
Asked what kind of tests would
best determine the efficiency and
radius (the distance a car will 60
on a CHARGE, of an electric pleasure
vehicle, the chief engineer of the

that coasting tests would best serve
that purpose. He says:

battery equipment. any flrst.class en-
gneer can determine accurately the
efficiency of a vehicle. That is TO
soy, he can determine everything ex'
cept the frictional loss, and that may
vary anywhere from six per cent IN
a scientifically designed car to so per
cent Ia poorly designed one.

NO manuscripts existed in this city or merchants.
Herculaneum in the time of its prosperity oc-
cupied to Rome somewhat the position winch
suburban town of wealth in the vicinity OF
great city fills today. Well-to-do citizens Oh
Rome resorted thither for the benefit of their
health, asits air was believed to be particularly
exhilarating Rest and quiet from the disturbing
influences of the great center were found In the
luxurious villas which were situated In ana
around Herculaneum. There seems to have been
no industry in the town except fishing, and the
character of the ruins suggests that, like sucn
prosperous suburban retreat of today, the settle
ment rejoiced in all that wealth and care could
afford of beauty and convenience.
Agrppina the elder, according to Seneca, was
the owner of one of the most gorgeous of the
villas In Herculaneum which, it is believed, was
destroyed by the Emperor Caligula because his
mother had once been imprisoned therein. An
other splendid villa the Casa del Papirt The
Nonii of Nuceria were also among the aristocrats
of the time who had villas in the charming little
town.
According to Professor Hughes "Herculaneum
is buried not under lava, rarely under natural
cement, but generally under locally consolidated
tuff Cuff is the word most commonly used when
the ash is so far consolidated as to break into
lumps) Seeing that we have reason to believe
that at least as much ash has fallen since the
first century A. D. as fell in 70 A. D., the first
thing to do Is to endeavor to distinguish between
the successive eruptions. If we could find at the
bottom of layer of ash just enough pottery or
other relics to enable us to identify them be-
longing to the seventeenth century earlier,
that line should be traced with the greatest
In this way we might feel our way back into the
remote past and perhaps somewhere make out
upon satisfactory evidence how deep some part
of Herculaneum was buried in the eruption of
79 A. D."

Since Dr. Patchem fixed me up with my
new set of eyes
My actions have been such as filed my
friends with dumb surprise;
used to be a modest man, never looked
askance
But now my eyes keep busy with a fiirt-
ing, roguish glance
And, worst of all, the brand new brain
he put in Tuesday night
Thinks that that kind of conduct is no
more than what 1t right!
The heart that DIR. Patchem got to take
my old ones place
Is one that Widow Johnson always sets
into q race;
The widow don't know me at all, but
when she is around
My latest heart begins to whirl and
thump and beat and pound.
And, hang it ALL This brain I've got
thinks it shouldn't think,
And then these eyes; as have said, just
do their best to wink.
This new right arm-I wonder whose it
was month ago.
Some dashing blade possessed the thing
before me, that I know.
For when my heart begins to whirl, my
eyes begin to wink,
This arm begins to want to hug-and at
such things / shrink
But heart and eyes and brain combine
to worry me and tease,
And urge my arm to reach right out and
grab a-hold and squeeze!
oh, who am I and what am I? Am I
myself, or not?
r
Am I the person that I was, or am l
what I've got?
Doc. Patchem put on a new nose, and
since that day I find
Through some mistake or carelessness
it's the hay-fever kind.
I think unless can reform my eyes and
arm and heart
ri have to get myself remade again in
every part.

SMALL STORES BOOMING.
Certain Retailers Have Not Been Injured by Great
Enterprises.

of them If not more than before; and at
this, at first, I wondered; but don't wonder SO
much now, since our baby came.
"of course don't refer here to grocery stores
and butcher shops and various smaller stores fur
nishing food supplies, which must always re-
main everywhere; speaking of those other
many smaller stores, supplying dry goods and
fancy goods and hardware and housefurnishings
These are the little stores that were to be put
out of business, but which do not seem to have
gone And what has the baby to do with all
this? I'll tell you.
The mother with young child whether she
is with or without servants, sticks pretty close
to home, the better to look after the baby's well

doesn't go far. She finds that in her neighbor-
hood tlAre are many little shops where they sell
many things, and If she finds these places to be
nice little shops where they keep nice things Sc
lected with taste and judgment, she keeps on
buying there steadily.
There are thousands of such shoppers scat
tered everywhere about the city making business
for the neighborhood shopkeeper The great
stores do great business, whose vast volume an
nually increases but there appears still to be
room for the little storekeeper too IL he will
make his store and his goods attractive and do

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When child sulks drowsily, or is
fretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use of a gentle,
effective laxative stimuiant is indi-
Gated. many of the best physicians are
now prescribing Dr. Caidwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive in its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgatiVe waters. It is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. rs easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case Of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in soc and
S1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon
hcello, Ill, for a sample. He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with
out any expense to you whatever.
