He would have men who organize
and conduct trusts punished by pris-
on sentences, 10 years for the first
o%ffense, 20 years for the second and
life for the third. The trusts were
pronounced the greatest problem be-

himself at the young mans elbow,
watched him as he labored over his
subject.

These are the Doctors you no doubt

know them personally you may know
them by reputation or through some of
your neighbQrs,w whom they have treated.
The remarkable success of these tai
ented physicions in the treatment of
chronic diseases has aroused much en-
thusIasm in the Northwest.
This is said to be and no doubt is true,
one of the most able specialists organi-
cation of its kind in this section of the
country, and must be a successful one
from the many good results they are
getting.
The United Doctors, licensed by the
state of Wisconsin for the treatment of
deformities and nervous and chronic

ladies come with their husbands and
minors with their parents.
The name UNITED DOCTORS, is what =
it implies, a union of specialists twelve

the treatment of chronic and nervous
diseases. Not to he understood tina,

body is heir to. They mean to be very

RAISING Water With Air.

AS all schoolboys know, a suction
pump can theoretically elevate water
only about thirty-three and one-third
feet, column of water of that height
balancing the atmospheric pressure. A
means has, however, been found Of
causing a suction pump to raise water
to a height of even sixty feet. The
invention was made by workman in
the French marine. Monsieur Eys-
serie, the chief engineer of the ma
rine, remarked that one particular
pump showed extraordinary qualities
in drawing water from ships holds.
Inquiry developed the fact says Har-
per's Weekly, that a workman had
thought of the plan Of introducing air
into the water at the point where the
suction was applied, thus producing
an emulsion Of air and water, which,
because Of it's diminisher density, was
capable of being elevated to consider
ably greater heights than pure water.

Carborundum in Furnaces,

Carborundum, the artificial substf

interior of furnaces. Finely powdered
and made into a paste, it is applied
with brush. like paint, to the brick
lining. 1t is said that layer of only
two mllfmeters in thickness will pro-
tect the bricks from the effects of the
highest temperature that is produced
in ordinary furnace combustion.
