STOP TRAIN AUTOMATICALLY.
Is Purpose of Invention by St. Adams
Young Man.

st. Adams, June 24.-An idea which
came to boy twenty years ago has just
taken definite form in the invention oil
George Brownell of this city. Twenty
years ago there came to Mr.. Brownell's
mind the idea of stopping a train auto
matically without the assistance of a
human mind or hand. Three years ago
he began to work out such plan and
recently he was granted patent on an
automatic train stopping device in which
means are provided for operating the
air brakes of a locomotive and train
automatically when the danger signal
is set.
This invention was tried out here last
fall on engine No. BIT and it proved a
success in the opinion of many of the
officials of the Central Vermont railway
men, who were present. Mr.. Brownell is
waiting to get trial and perhaps place
contract with one of the largest rail
roads in the country which at present
is equipped with the block signal sys-
tenn The invention will be tried out in
connection with that system.
Mr. Brownell comes from the Vermont
family of Brownells. He makes his home
in St Adams during the summer, and
resides in Boston in the winter.

BEAUTY MORE THAN SKIN DEEP.
A Good Complexion Must Come from
Within.

The natural desire of every ambitious
woman is to have a clear skin and a
beautiful complexion.
Not every woman can be Diana or
Juno, but the beauty of freshness and
the bloom of clear skin are within the
reach of every woman who will make
the effort.
1t is all matter of intelligent trying.
If the bowels are inactive, if the liver
is not working properly, if the poisonous
waste and refuse are not expelled
promptly from the system, complexion is
sure to show the effect.
The only right way to remove pimples,
moth spots and blotches and clear up a
cloudy complexion, is to go right to the
root of the trouble with the proper rem
edy.
The one remedy that will cure consti-
patton, improve the complexion, tone up
the liver and insure clear, velvety skin
is SEAVER'S LAXATIVE TONIC TAB
LETS.
You should have confidence, for the
druggist viii pay you back your money
if the tablets do not benefit you as
claimed.

A SAFETY FIRST" MINERAL,
And Production of Asbestos In United
States IL Growing

Asbestos is a potential life'saver,. We
do not all realize, perhaps, that the fire
proof theatre curtain is made OF ashes
tos, which is rock matter but neverthe.
less almost as soft and pliable as cotton
or WOODEN fabric. Asbestos has Of course
many other uses. Its incombustibility
and its flbrous structure make il one OF
the most useful minerals for many and
various structural purposes. II is used
in making lumber, roofing, plaster, and
stucco. Houses that are built largely of
asbestos afford their occupants not only
complete protection from fire because
ii is "nonconductor, but assure them
also the comfort OF freedom from ex-
treme heat and cold.
The asbestos producing industry of the
United States is growing. For many
years we have been the greatest man
ufacturers and users of asbestos, draw
ing our raw material from Canada, nut
we are now getting some excellent fiber
in our own country. The most notable
feature of the asbestos industry in 1914
was the development of new field in
which is furnishing grade of
fiber that compares very favorably with
the Canadian. As the mineral occurs in
the Grand Canyon it is frequently des-
ignated Grand Canyon asbestos, although
the deposits in that remarkable natural
wonder is not yet producing asbestos
commercially. For electric installation
The Arizona asbestos is even better than
the Canadian product, for it contains a
ower percentage of iron. Asbestos of a
ow grade has been produced in Georgia
Tor many years.
A report by j. S. Diller, of the U. S.
geological survey, on the production of
shows that in 1914 the Unit
ed States produced and sold l,247 short
,ons, valued at $lS,965, gain of l3
Der cent in quantity and ~ per cent in
'alue as compared with the production
# 1913 Besides the small production
n California and Virginia there were
hree important producers-two in Geor
ia, who furnished the greater portion,
nd one in Arizona, who produced high |
'rade material only.

Mrs. N. M. Nelson, 20 Mer-

severe attack of grippe had left
my kidneys weak, and, instead
of getting better, l became
worse. The slightest housework
tired me, and if ! was on my feet
for an hour or so, sharp pains
across my back made me stop

HINTS ON RAISING BRoILERS.
Breeds, Market Requirements, and Profit

| The first essential in raising broilers
whether for ones own table or perhaps
more profitably for someone's else, is tc
know what a broiler is, namely, what
the market requirements are. A young
chick to be eligible for the title OF
"broiler" must be full-feathered, we'll
developed, especially in breast and thigh
and with compact form. The meat
must be tender. juicy when cooked tvir-
lures impaired by good f adoondr
growth, and in America the bird with
yellow skin and shanks commands the
top price, if other qualifications are
there, and the carcass is clean and free
from pin feathers. Big combs and long
legs, both signs of slow growth and age,
detract from the appearance Of broilers,
even though they are plump and other
wise up to the mark.
These requirements should be met first
by selecting the proper breed. For in
stance, the white Plymouth Rock, Rhode
Island red or white Wyandotte, reach a
weight of one and one-half to two
pounds in ten weeks, although the aver
age is about twelve, if properly fed. If
squad broilers are wanted, the white
Leghorn will produce pound broiler of
the finest quality in surprisingly short
time. There are those who imagine
they obtain better broilers by crossing
with one of the Asiatic breeds, but what
they gain in size they lose in form and
rapidity of growth.
Some of the Secrets.
The secret of broiler raising is 10 set
only strong, fertile eggs from healthy
stock; to provide warm, clean breeders,
where the temperature may be kept at
the proper point, 95 degrees the first
week, "a degrees the second, 90 degrees
the third, SIS degrees the fourth week,
and thereafter until the chicks are feath.
cred; to avoid over -crowding, about 80
in one pen is enough in winter, where
there is little opportunity for the birds
to get out on the ground daily; to keep
the flock uniform as to size and vigor
by eliminating all the poor looking
chicks; to make the birds take plenty
Of exercise, thus keeping them healthy
and hungry, for the more they can be
induced to eat and digest properly, the
faster they will grow; to see that their |
Ioou is nOt only NuOltsOfue, DuL con- |
tains a greater per cent. of flesh form |
ng material, meat scrap, and plenty of |
green food, than is customary to feed
where the chicks are being raised for lay |
RS and breeders; and, finally, to finish
,he birds off by adding a biz more corn
% their ration, thus sending them either
% the family ice chest, or market,
lump and inviting to the eye of the
purchaser.
As to cost of production, II. f. Lewis,
Il the New Jersey State Agricultural |
ollege, gives the following figures:

egg and pro-rata cost of incubator 500
