One day the little daughter of one OF
the men became very sick and the

soon sleeping soundly, and upon leav.

was to be obtained at the drug store.

bought. This was kept up until the
little girl was entirely well. when the

AS his purse was rather slim he
approached the doctor with many mis-

Most Powerful searchIIoht.

The new electric searchlight pro-
jectors made by the Allgemeine esIab-
lishment OF Berlin are among the
most powerful yet to be produced
and their candlepower, which is too
high for measurement, can only be
reckoned in hundreds of millions
What a striking one is the new meth.
cd of regulating the arc. The large
carbons are now moved back and
forth by small electric motors and
suitable gears, current being applied
to the motors by a set OF relays which
work according to the current taken
by the arc. thus securing an auto
matte adjustment of the arc length
in the best way. The base of the pro.
jector contains other motors for all
the searchlight movements and dis.
tant lever control is so designed that
turning the lever in all directions
makes the protector also follow these
same directions for pointing the
beam. These searchlights will carry
several miles and still give light
enough to read by.

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA.

A dear old lady who was very "sot"
In her prejudices was asked just why
she didn't like a certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
SO emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew She would have to
find some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out of
the window and saw him passing by.
He carried a neatly rolled umbrella
though 1t hardly threatened rain.
Quick as a flash she answered her
questioner, He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is a
'softie."
But" said her friend, also looking
out of the window, here comes your
SON William, and he is carrying an UNI
brella."
This did not stump the old lady. But
that's another matter-I don't like him
anyhow-and besides. 1t all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They
have said good many unkind things
about 1t and In each instance have had
II proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
deliciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that II contains. They looked upon
that as a splendid argument against IT,
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William, they were reminded
that II Is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than in Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties.
But does that stop their criticism Of
Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say But that's another
matter"-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and nk-
ing tea or coffee, II all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them--for
caffeine Is caffeine, and II It is not
harmful in one II can't be harmful in
another. We all know that II is not
harmful In tea or coffee-that 1t Is
really helpful in whatever 1t is-this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all, 1t all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.

and vigorous root system than is pro-
duced by only tipping the bruised
ends.
The compression OF the soil In a
wide hole is desirable to an extent
when IL Is not too wet, but planting
in narrow hole where the roots are
cramped and curled must be con-
demned in the light of general expert
ence which proves beyond all ques-
ton that wide spread Of fibrous
roots is conducive to rapid and
healthy growth.
What do we find on digging up a
dwarfed. dying or otherwise unhealthy
bush Almost. II not invariably, we
see roots cramped and twisted and
almost devoid of fibers. And why does
transplanting young trees and bushes
in nursery induce the production OF
q mass Of fibrous roots, except as a
consequence of transference from a
stale and compact place, to soil in
condition of friabIe mold.
Almost any practicable degree of
pressure over the roots In planting
may be advantageous, but 1t does not
follow that solidity to check sideways
root growth is also beneficial. Fit

forking OF fruit plantations would call
for condemnation.
Experienced growers OF fruit most.
ly agree that they always find that
trees planted well in accordance with
what is generally considered the
proper methods flourish better than
those less carefully planted and this,
there is every reason to believe is
the common experience,
! am sure that experiments serve a
useful purpose but should strongly
recommend growers OF fruit not to
act on a large scale upon the results
OF any experiment, and although firm
er planting than is usual may be
tried, prudence directs that any furth-
'r testing of the methods described
should be limited. for some times to
come. at least, to small operations.

grain fell from the sky and we had to

son that water is free and everywhere
available the failure to supply plenty

inches OF fat all over his body the hog

money, but spending money In the edu-
cation OF the people in the need for
treatment and building up the organiza-
] ton for distributing the cure. State SUI
perintendents of health were appointed by

mission and health officers were named

a wealthy man.
Ultimately the work will be conducted
entirely by the communities themselves.

] disease and the introduction OF the treat
ment were secured by means OF travelling

sufferers were encouraged to seek treat
