QUEER MERHODS OF
DOING BUSINESS.

One OF the most reprehensible things in
business is that ofselling goods under false
Pretenses. Some men can do it for years,
but the day comes when they are exposed
and he wakes up to find he has no business
and is thoroughly discredited by ALL
Two cases came under our notice, this
week, that will serve TO illustrate this point,
and there are probably many more that
will show up in the course of time.
The inst one was of Woodworking man
whose wife wanted a sewing machine for a
month. He went to a place that made
business of this kind and ordered the ma
chine for month. Improved to be old and
worthless and before the month was up,
the firm was notified to come and get it.
They told the party to let the machine stay
there for awhile if it was not in the way
and it remained there for three months.
When notified to come and get the ma
chine, this firm insisted he had to keep it;
that he had agreed to buy it.
This bluff dind't work, but they went and
got the machine, and placed a newer one
in its place. When the man of the house
got home, he very promptly put the ma
chine out in the yard and the parties we're
notified to come and get it. They were
told if they didn't he would break into hits.
They came and got it.
The queer part OF this transaction ap-
peared some time afterward. This same
man finally decided to purchase machine.
He went to the same firm and was given
price of $35. This was not satisfactory,
so finally he was told that he could have it
At cost. The machine cost him $l8.

The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1914-07-24

The second case was very similar to the
first one, only the machine put in was an
old worn out thing that gave no satisfaction
at any time. The owners were notified to
come and get it, but refused, saying that
lhey had ordered it and had to keep it.
Finally the parties decided to move to
different part of town and notified the
owners that they had left the machine and
for them to go get it.
What was their surprise, when they ar
rived at their new home, to find another
machine standing on the porch. The ma
chine was SO rusty that it would hardly run,
but the firm still insists that they have sold
the machine, although they have not tried
to collect.
This sort of 'hold-up' business smacks
very much of city methods where corrupt
justices assist these sharpers to fleece the

TUNGSTEN LAMP is IMPROVED
Some Applications of Light Will Be
for Street Series Lighting-ldeal

tHy J. F. RANKIN, Colorado Agricul-
tural College,
After long and laborious research,
lamp manufacturers announce that
they will soon place on the market a
new tungsten lamp, known technically
as the nitrogen-filled lamp. Nitrogen
prevents evaporation Of the tungsten
filament and thus allows the lamp to
be operated at much higher temper
AZURE This means that the efficiency
Of the new lamp is very much higher,
twice that of the tungsten lamp we
are now using. At present the lamp
will be available only in large sizes.
1000 c. p. or larger. The filament EN-
ployed must be short and comparative
~ heavy, so that the lamp must be
operated at low voltage though the
current through the filament is cor
respondingly high.
Some of the applications OF this
lamp will be for street series lighting,
where it may soon replace arc lamps
entirely for any large interior where
Large mounting heights are available
and for projection lanterns, head
lights, etc. 1t should be an ideal light
for motion picture work.
The quality of the light produced by
these new lamps Is nearly that Of day

absorption screen to reproduce day

WATERY BLlsTERs ON FACE


Smithville, Ind.--"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had a few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until In few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much
I'VE used a number OF remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
