PUT II ON A SOCIAL BASIS
Suggestion That, ~ Made Universal.
Would Make Payment Of Physl-
clans Bills Easy.

A prominent physician In an Ar
kansas town has an extensive prac-
uce among the -laboring classes,
where economy is the best policy.
One day the little daughter OF one Of
the men became very sick and the
doctor was hurriedly called. He ar
rived and administered a soothing
treatment to the patient. who a
soon sleeping soundly, and upon leav.
ing prescribed some medicine which
was to be obtained at the drug store.
The next day the visit had to be re-
peated and some more medicine
bought. This was kept up until the
little girl was entirely well, when the
father went to see the doctor TO set
tie the bill.
AS his purse was rather slim he
approached the doctor with many mis-
givings.
Here is your bill. sir" began the
doctor, handing him the paper. This
for the drugs from the store and this
for my visits"
The poor man looked and was horri-
fed at the amount requested, realiz-
ing that he could not pay it all. Then,
after thinking a moment, he took out
his purse and laid some pieces of
change in the physicians hand, say
ing: Here is the money for the
drugs, doctor, and-we will return
your calls. "-Pittsburgh Chronicle.

uct is coffee. The coffee estates are
largely in American and German
hands. Another important agricultural
product is cocoa 1t is grown chiefly
in the south along the Pacific coast.
Sugar is also widely cultivated. To-
bacco is also grown; the leaf is good,
but as it is not well cured it is not ex-
ported. Like many another region bor-
dering the Caribbean sea, Nicaragua
finds a profitable export in bananas,
which are grown in large quantities,
especially near Bluefelds on the Gulf
of Mexico.
AS to timber, the Nicaraguan forests
contain splendid mahogany and cedar
trees, the wood from which is largely
exported. The forests also contain
many valuable dye woods, gums and
medicinal plants. Rubber is also
grown there.
AS to mining, the gold mines are
very important and are worked by
American and British companies. The
gold export averages a million dollars
2 year.
Nicaragua trades with the outside
world, but the volume Of commerce
might be greatly extended. OF the ex-
ports about a third come to this coun-
try; the rest go chiefly to Great Bri-
tain, Germany and France. OF the i'm
ports more than half come from this
country, and the remainder mostly
from the three countries above men
toned.
At Corinto the steamers of four
shipping companies, two American and
two German, o regularly visit the
port. The only railway in Nicaragua
is the so-called National railway, an
American concern having a total
length Of about ITO miles. The line
run from Corinto to Leon Managra,
aid other cities. On the various lakes
steamers ply as well as on the San
Juan river. These lakes furnish, from
end to end, about a hundred and fifty
miles of navigation, There are, I'M
fortunately, few good wagon roads In

Most Powerful searchltoht.

The new electric searchfight. pro-
~jectors made by the Allgemeine esIab-
lishment of Berlin are among the
most powerful yet to be produced,
and their c~andlepower, 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 a dis
tant lever control is SO designed thai
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.

second half in the same manner as
the hrst was put up. 1t is well to
leave the center pole resting on the
concrete floor and extend it by adding
another piece.
The second half of the studding
should be spiked to the first with a
lap of about two feet. After plumb
ing and staying in place, the sheeting
and lath are put on, and finally, after
removing the temporary platform, the
middle is completed by putting on the
sheeting and lath. Care must be
taken that no wide cracks are left.
PLASTERING,-The wall of the
silo is p~lastered to a depth of about
one inch (about one-half inch over the
lath) with a rich, well-mixed mortar
made from three parts OF sharp, clean,
coarse sand or finely crushed stone
and one part of Portland cement. The
mortar should be about as thick as
that ordinarily used in plastering a
house.
DOORS.-Four doors are sufficient
for a 30-foot silo, and five are enough
for a 36-foot silo. Ordinarily the bot.
tom of the first door will come about
two and a half feet above the sill.
The doors are two and a half feet
high and four feet is allowed between
doors.
THE ROOF.-It is generally agreed
that the silage is preserved Just as
well without a roof. However, as a
matter of looks, it is generally sup
piled. A plate similar to the lower
sill is put around the top of the silo
on top of the s~tudding. The roof is
usually made in the same manner as
the roof of a house, except the rafters
are put up in conical form and NO
joists are put in, The roof boards are
put on in short lengths, and shingles
or some other good roofing material
put on top. A properly made coor
must be left to the roof through which
to fill the silo.
SIDING.-Although somewhat e:;-
pensive, galvanized sheet metal
makes a good siding. Probably the
post practical plan, however, is t.
put on some hoops and nail ordinary
boxing lumber to them. The hoops
are made of three thicknesses of the
sheeting material put around the out
side OF the silo every four feet, being
careful not to cross doors. One thick
ness is put on at a time. The Joints
must break to insure strength. Thl
boxing lumber is put IN vertically anG
nailed to the hoops.

STATE OF NICARAGUA
Has Greatest Area Of Any in
Central America. "a
Facts About Character, Resources and
History Of the Country for Which
a United States Pr~oteetorate
Is Proposed.

New York.-Of all the Central Amer
lean states. Nicaragua has the great
est area. The country is almost exact
ly as large as New York state.
The population of Nicaragua is
about 10000; that would give about
twelve inhabitants to each square
mile. There are few Europeans in Mic
aragua- The great mass of its popula-
ton consists of Indians, negroes, mu-
lattoes and mixed races. The popula-
ton descends chiefly from the native
Indians, from their Spanish conquer
ors and from the slaves introduced
during the colonial period. Intermar-
riage with other South Americans, and
also with Europeans, has further COM
piicated the race situation, Hence in
| Nicaragua we find half-castes with Eu-
ropean features and Indians with fair
hair and blue eyes.
Despite the fact that there is hardly
any immigration the population is in
creasing with great rapidity. Among
the Europeans in Nicaragua the Span
ish element is naturally the most
prominent.
The capital of Nicaragua is Mana
qua, a city of some $4,000 people. 1t
is situated on the Lake of Managua.
The largest city in the republic, how
ever, is Leon, with about 63 5000 people.
The chief ports are San Juan del Sur
OF the Pacific, and Blueields and Grey
town-the latter known to the Mic
~araguans as San Juan del Norte-on
the Gulf of Mexico,
Nicaragua is a typically tropical
country. 1t is a very rich country nat
urally. Its three main sources of
wealth are agriculture, timber and

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 it 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, it 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 a good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
it proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of it's refreshing
d~eliciousness from the small bit of caf-
feline that it 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
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? Nc
their answer is similar to the old
~lady's-they say But that's another
matter"-what they mean Is Being
p~rejudiced against Coca-Cola and Xix
ing tea or coffee, it all depends or
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-fol
caffeine is caffeine, and if it is moi
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
really helpful in whatever it is-this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
Of course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises ant
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved t.
be no reasons at all. they are graspinE
at an excuse which does not exist, tt
eXnlain a nreiudice. So Won see after
all, it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.
