had only her little brother, Poly, When
he went away she was very lonesome.

Ever since Poly had stolen his own

tn HE Alamo was once a peaceful
mission church in san Antonio,
Texas. II was built Of stone
and adobe by the Spanish priests two
centuries ago for the purpose OF civil
izing the indians. But in order to keep
the said indians respectful while they
were being civilized, 1t was built very
substantially and in time Of trouble the
priests could lock the large front doors
and discuss religion and other things
through lOopholes in a very destruc-
tive and persuasive manner.
In 1886 the people Of Texas who had
got even more weary Of Mexico
than the United States is at present
declared themselves to be free and in
dependent This caused considerable
Ill feeling on the part Of Mexico and
wherever a Texan could be found, he
was shot without waiting 10 take the
case TO the supreme court During
the chickering's, many Texans were
wounded and were brought to San
Antonio and Quartered in the Alamo.
Then Cen Santa Ana with 1000 Next
cans came to San Antonio himself, and
the garrison OF $50 Texans had to de-
eide whether to leave those sick and
wounded men TO be butchered in the
conventional Mexican style or to stay
with them and fight il out.

IS SICKNESS 4 SIN?

Excess in eating, drinking, smok-.
ing. working, even excessive anger,
overloads Nature and is sinful. When
she falls behind in her work, the
mucous membrane Of the mouth
sends you notice by a coated tongue
and slimp taste.
The whole mucous Lining OF your
body is similarly coated and the bad
taste and coated tongue are warnings
that the Bile, aNture'S distnfectant,
flows feebly and that the blood IS tax
ing up the toxins or poisons.
The Mucosa, as it is called, must
be disinfected-your blood must be
disinfected-and a free flow OF Ma
lures own disfnfectant, Bile, Is the
only genuine relief.
PoDoLax Releases the Bile.
Your father and his father took
Podophyllin or May Apple Root IN
their day to release the Bile. And IT
did iot-but the doing doubled them
M with pain. The gripping was in
tense-so, 1nollycoddIe Ia1atives
came into use and they failed TO de-
liver the Bile.
PoDoLax is a Podophyllin formula
with the gripe and nausea taken out.
Every child takes it without gr1mace:
II costs soc per bottle and is entitled
to a place in every home. AS the
reasoning member of your home, II IS
your duty TO investigate these state
ments. Ask for PoDoLax-the man

tions your judgment.

are the more fundamental contripu-
tons TO knowledge which grow out of
the Investigations of the Station staff
These should be so published as TO
take a place in the permanent scien-
tific literature of the world. 1t is up
on the Investigations of this kind that
all fundamental advance in knowledge
of agricultural science must finally
rest. In many cases publications of
this sort are, and must of necessity be,
too technical in their form to make
interesting reading to anybody not
working specially in the field concern
ed. At the present time results of the
later sort obtained at the Maine Agri-
cultural Experiment Station are pub
lished, for the most part, in various
technical scientific journals IN this
country and in Europe.
The bearing of such technical bulle-
tins on questions of immediate prac-
teal interest will always be clear to
the thinking farmer though it may not
be to the irresponsible and unlntell1-
gent writer for the agricultural press.
For example, every real orchardiSt
knows that in any thorough-going bat

what fungi are the cause of the
trouble He further understands that
q technical scientific description of
these fungi, while it may not be excit-
ing reading to him, and will not help
him directly to grow more apples next
year, is of a permanent value and alb
solutely essential to permanent prog
ress n the science of pomology.

The sloop Defiance. as she lies in
the waters, moored TO the dock of the
Bath Iron Works, is being gazed at
with amazement by the old salts OF
this building town and they are
wondering how the yacht is going to
stand up under the towering smother
of canvas she is to carry. The yachts
men, too. who before they left Mon
day saw the lofty mast stepped. also
are wondering. Designer George
Owen, while confident that his calcu-
,ations and tests are all correct, has
moments when he too wonders.
George Owen has shown that he is
the most daring of all the American
designers. The Defiance carries the
longest mast ever stepped in a single
hasted vessel. AS it lay on the dock
/ measured from end to end 1873 feet,
and when stepped the truck was 1853
feet above the water line. The truck
Of the mast of the Reliance was 148
feet above the water. The Reliance
was a 80 footer and the Defiance is a
IS footer.- The Reliance carried club
topsail which extended 20 feet above
the truck. The club topsail of the De-
fance will extend Is feet above the
truck, so that the loftiest sails on
these two yachts are 16S feet above
the water.
The Reliance had more beam than
the Defiance and above 80 tons more
lead-more reasons for the wonder
ment. 1t is only in the height Of the
rig that the Defiance exceeds that of
the Reliance. Her other spars are
much shorter than those of the fam
Gus 80 footer and her total sail area
will be more than 60 feet less.
The steel mast of the Defiance, 112
feet long and six feet in circumfer-
enee at its widest part, weighs 1900
pounds 1t looks as If it could stand
any strain. but If it is not secured,
stayed and rugged It will bend and
double like tin pea blower. The top
mast, AZ feet long, is of pine, and
weighs 400 pounds. Two feet Of the
keel Of the topmast fit snugly in the
cap of the lower mast and canvas
cup will keep water and dampness
from the keel of the topmast.
Sings were placed around the CEN
ter of this long spar and il was lifted
easily into the air and the heel gently

tons. After the mast had been stayed
the spreaders were sent aloft and
bolted securely in position on the
mast. The spreaders are of steel and
wood and extend 16 feet on each side
and standing rigging were set up, and
when these are fully stretched the big
spar will be secure.
The boom is IS feet long and weighs
1900 pounds. and the gaf SO feet long
and weighs 100 pounds. When the
mast was stepped the yacht fioated
very evenly and the other spars, rig
ging and sails will bring her down to
her lines.
The rigging and running gear will
weigh 1000 pounds The mainsail
weighs 2200 pounds or $50 less than
that Of the Reliance. In the mainsail
and topsail will be about 5000 square
feet of canvas. The base of the for
ward triangle-that. is from the end
of the bowsprit to the forward side OF
the mast-iS As feet, and the area Of
the forward triangle is $3.50 square
feet.
If the Defiance can carry her rig
she should be very rast and she will
have to be fast to defeat the Resolute
She will carry about 1900 square feet
of canvas more than the Resolute, and
for all that the Defiance has to pay
penalty. This has been estimated
at three and 4 half minutes in 30
miles. Hereshoff has figured on being
able to hold the Defiance and Vanitie
with the Resolute when sailing on the
wind. If the Resolute can do that,
the others win have to be wonderful
craft to make up the allowance time
running or reaching.
