The problem of coffee making has
always been means of keeping the
grounds in the water while the coffee
is brewing and to separate them when
1t comes to the point of serving. A
great many complicated devices have
been devised to accomplish this object,
but the objection made by women to
most of them is that there are a great
many parts to be cleaned every time
the apparatus is made use of. The ar
rangement shown herewith. which has
been recently patented by a woman,
overcomes this drawback. 1t consists
of a single partition of perforated
metal, preferably aluminium. which
slips into the coffeepot and effectu-
ally maintains complete separation
between the coffee grounds and the
brewed article. This is clearly shown

Queer Idea Of tn. Oil In the Earth.

Employment Of oil as fuel for the
navy would have met with the whole
hearted disapproval of an American
who figures in Sir John Robinson's
"reminiscences. This farseeing per-
son peti.ioned congress that "a stop
might be put to the irreverent and
irreligious proceedings of various
citizens in drawing petroleum from
the earth, thus checking the de-
signs of the Almighty, who stored
it there for the future destruction
of the world"

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERES THE REASON

The fact that there is less dys-
pepsia and Indigestion in this COM
munlty than there used to be is
largely, we believe, due to the ex-
tenslve use of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets, hundreds of packages of
which we have sold. No wonder
we have faith in them. No won
der we are willing to offer them
to you for trial entirely at our
risk.
Among other things, they con-
tain Pepsin and Bismuth, two of
the greatest digestive aids known
to medical science. They soothe
the inflamed stomach, allay pain,
check heartburn and distress, help
to digest the food, and tend to
quickly restore the stomach to its
natural, comfortable, healthy
state.
There is no red tape about our
guarantee. 1t means just what it
says. Well ask you no questions.
Your word is enough for us. If
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets don't re-
store your stomach to health and
make your digestion easy and
comfortable, we want you to
come back for your money. They
are sold only at the 1000 Rexall
Stores, aud in this town only by

GIBRALTAR OF THE PACIFIC.
Uncle Sans Steel Clad Sentinel, the Is

land OF Oahu.
Oahu today is the greatest armed
military camp under the American
flag. 1t is the khai-clad sentinel of the
Pacific, lone vidette on an everlast-
ing picket. day and night, year in and
year out. guarding the approach to the
Pacific coast. 1t Is sentinel that COW
ers long beat for, with its lightning
flashes of battleships and cruisers en-
anating Jovelike from Pearl Harbor,
designed to be the greatest naval base
of the United States by 1915, and with
the fringe of steel which is to be
placed in redoubts all around the 1T
mile coast line, it bars the approach Of
hostile feet from the far east.
1t is khaki clad sentinel. for the is
land of Oahu, known militarily as the
Hawaiian department of the United
States army. maintains six military
posts, Of which four are coast defense
fOrtresses and the other two are gar
rison posts, in which every branch Of
the service Is represented.
Oahu Is vast armed camp. and the
ground trembles with the tread of in
fantry, the rumble of artillery and
the thud of cavalry hoofs. From 1898,
when the first garrison of United
States troops was stationed on the is
land with 100 men on duty, the mill
tary establishment has grown to 1000,
with 1000 men yet to be assigned to
duty this year. No mainland coast line
has so many coast artillery companies
massed along the shores as Oahu. No
area of the size of Oahu contains so
many army posts or as many armed
men.-Leslie's.

Tho Bees Market Basket.

Every bee carries his market bas-
ket around his hind legs. Any one
examining the body of the bee
through a microscope will observe
that on the hind legs of the creature
there is fringe of stiff hairs on the
surface, the hairs approaching each
other at the tips, so as to form a
sort of cage. This is the bees bas-
ket, and into it after a successful!

On taking jelly off the fire it is a
great mistake to pour it into glasses
which have been rinsed in cold wa

cold will make it solidify sooner.
The reverse is, in fact, really the
