Iron Production

The leading technical paper of Ger
many points out that the UnitedStates
is striding forward SO fast in the pro-
duction of iron that now it not only
leads all the other nations individual
ly, but comes near to surprising them
all combined. In 1905 Germany pro-
duced II 100000 tons, England $780,
900, the others smaller amounts down
to AZ, 900 tons produced by India, while
the total product of the world outside
the United States was 100000 tons.
Yet in that same way we produced
100000 tons, more than half the
outside worlds total product. Figur-
ed by percentage, the gains of Canada
and Japan are more remarkable than
ours. AS compared with 1904, Canada
very nearly doubled and so did Japan

Age And Food

Many persons neglect the important
physiological rule that the need of
food naturally diminishes with advanc-
ing years, just as capacities for di-
costing and assimilating and duly uti-
lizing food diminish also. 1t is diff
cult to make man of 40 understand
that he cannot properly utilize and
adequately dispose of as much food
as he used to when 80, or a man of so
when he was 40; so that diet which
would not be in any way excessive at
the former age becomes distinctly ex-
cessive and productive of undesirable
corpulence. 1t is of Importance, there
fore, to recognize the great law that
with advancing age the quantity of
food required diminishes simply be-
cause the working power of the body
itself decreases, and the human engine

Laying Dust

Laying dust on macadam roads with
heavy tar oil has been accomplished
with considerable success in the Sout-
hall-Norwood district in England
About the middle of May of this year
5000 square yards of granite maca-
dam were treated with waste tar oil
obtained from local gas works. The
road was first thoroughly swept and
all dust removed, then the liquid was
applied to the surface from an ordi-
nary sprinkling wagon, and we'll
brushed in by manual labor. Since
the first application, sprinkling with
water has been unnecessary, and ac-
cording to a communication to the
surveyor from Mr.. Reginald Brown,
the engineer of the district, the road
surface is as good today as directly
after the application. A number of
branch roads have also been treated
to give the liquid a fair trial. The
results have been very satisfactory, as
it is said that the dust has been laid;
the noise of vehicular traffic is consid-
erably modified; the road surface is
preserved, and after rain its appear
ance is that of a tar-macadam road
at much less cost than the latter

The "trackless trolley" system is
the same as is proposed for the Per-
kiomen valley in Pennsylvania. The
financiers behind the Trolley Con-
struction Co. and the concern propos-
ing to link towns in the Perkiomen
valley are of the same group.
No tracks will be used, but electric
omnibuses will operate from over
head current wires. The buses will
seat 20 passengers.
A network of lines is projected
Each will radiate from Dover, Del,
the county seat, the total mileage will
be about $50.
Freight buses are planned, and this
innovation has aroused opposition of
railroad interests. The promoters
plan to have the Kent trolleys connect
with similar lines in New Castle
county, providing direct route from
Kent to Wilmington.
Promoters of the company and far
mers point out that the buses in
reality would be feeders for the rail-
roads, as farmers would ship their
produce to railroad freight stations,
saving the expense and inconvenience
of hauling.

A fowl cannot be healthy and lousy

Feed the horses regularly three
times daily, but do not overfeed.
There is no line of work where

Cleanliness and pure water are i'm

Uniformity in the time of milking

Regularity of milking is of extreme
Importance if the cow is to be kept

One of the first things to do in i'm

DIET FOR THE BRAlN-W Yorker
Whole Body, With Special Refer.
ence to Nervous System.

A great deal has been said about
the value of certain articles as brain
food, and one of the pet theories OF
popular physiology has been that fish
and other substances composed large
ly of phosphorus are the most appro.
pirate diet for brain-workers. But
modern science Is emphasizing that
the best food for the brain Is that
which nourishes the whole body, with
special reference to the nervous sys-
tenn.
Brain power Is largely an express
sion through the nerves of bodily vi
tally. In discussing this point In a
recent treatise. DR.. George M. Beard
says that the diet of brain-workers
should be of large variety, delicately
served. abundantly nutritious. of which
fresh meat should be prominent con
stituent.
In vacations, or wherever 1t Is de-
sired to rest the brain, fish may, to a
certain extent, take the place Of meat

Giles that are most agreeable to our
individual tastes and so far as pos
sible we should take our meal amid

exertion we should rest the stomach
