GUIDED BY THE STARS
HOW TIME is REGULATED IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Matter of Extreme Importance Has
Been Brought to an Exact Science
by Wise Men in Government
Employ.

Few people understand how time is
accurately obtained and distributed
throughout the country, says the
Charleston News and Courier.
Every clear night the astronomers
at the United States observatory,
Washington, D. c., observe the transit
of certain stars which are due to
cross the meridian at a known time.
The exact instant of their transit is
recorded electrically by means Of a
chronograph, which also records the
seconds from a sidereal clock. The
difference between the time of the
sidereal clock and the time the stars
cross shows the error of the clock.
The time signals sent out each day
are wholly automatic, and consist OF
a series of short marks produced on
an open Geographic circuit by the
beats of transmitting clock located
in the observatory. The wires OF the
Western Union Telegraph company
are used for the dissemination Of
these signals at noon (75th meridian)
each day, for an interval of three and
five minutes Immediately preceding
and ending exactly at noon.
For the country east of the Rocky
mountains the signals are sent from
the United States observatory at
Washington, and for the country west
of the Rocky mountains the signals
are sent from the United States OBJ
servatory at Mare island navy yard,
California. The entire series of sig
mails sent from both of the observa-
tories are graphically shown as they
appear on a chronograph tape. The
electric connections of the trans
hitting clock sending these signals
are such as to omit certain seconds OF
each minute, as shown by the breaks
in the record.
These enable any one who is listen
ing to q telegraph instrument at any
office that is cut into the circuit during
the transmission Of the signals to re-
cognize the middle and beginning Of
each minute. At the fifty-ninth min
ute here is an interval of ten Sec
onds, which is followed by the final
noon signal
At each office throughout the Uni
ted States where time service is estab-
lished there is a master clock in
stalled for the purpose of transmitting
hourly signals to the subsidiary clocks
to keep them in perfect time.
At the present time, when scientific
business methods make every fraction
of a minute valuable, the value of the
present system has become invalu-
able; SO much so that time" con-
nection is indispensable in nearly
every place of business, as the varia-
ton of one minute frequently costs
hundreds and sometimes thousands of
dollars.

STEADY HAND.
A Surgeons Hand Should Be the Firm.
est of All.

''For fifteen years I have suffered
from insomnia, indigestion and ner-
vousness as a result of coffee drink
Ing" said a surgeon the other day.
(Tea is equally injurious because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in Coffee.
1.-THE dyspepsia became so bad that
/ had to limit myself to one cup at
breakfast Even this caused me to
lose my food soon after ate it.
All the attendant symptoms of in
digestion, such as heart burn, palpita-
ton, water brash, wakefulness or dis
turbed sleep, bad taste in the mouth,
nervousness, etc, were present to
such a degree as to incapacitate me
for my practice as surgeon.
1.-THE result of leaving off coffee
and drinking Postum was simply mar
velous. The change was wrought
forthwith, my hand steadied and my
normal condition of health was re-
stored" Name given upon request.

Road to Wel1ville," in pkgs. There's

Postum now comes in concentrated,
powder form, called Instant Postum.
1T is prepared by stirring a level tea
spoonful in cup of hot water, adding
sugar to taste, and enough cream to
bring the color to golden brown.

like blisters from fire burns. They

which caused me to rub them and they

of sores. The disease spread from my
face to my neck and back. When any,
thing touched them they would burn
and stick to my clothes, which kept
me from sleeping and made me suf-

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
1t is not alone the aching. back, the stiff,

The condition of the kidneys makes good

The kidneys are the filters of the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood evv-

and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only

joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys.

Extravagant Claims.

Alfalfa is a great forage crop and a
great soil improver. Every farmer
should try to grow it, and keep on try
ing until he is dead sure he can't dc
it. The worst thing about alfalfa is
the exaggeration of it's virtues that is
constantly put before the public, even
in the agricultural papers, which
should know better. Here, for exam
pie, is a statement credited to Hi
