"It doesn't mar. though, the way var

Winter was not half over when one
day Stella said suddenly to Tom: IF

so sick Of this dark old house"

Yes. I am." said Stella, desperately.
II guess you have to live in a house

"Is that so?" said Tom: Funny

we like what we've got ourselves. l
guess Horace's wife feels the same
way. She says she never feels warm
with all that white paint, no matter
what the furnace is doing. Well, you

So they moved back.
What do you Think" Ada said.
Horace contested that he and Tom
foresaw all this and talked about it"

And they both laughed.

ton and starts food fermentation
Thus everything eaten souts in
the stomach much like garbage

fluids and gases which initiate the
stomach like a toy balloon. Then
we feel heavy, lumpy misery in
the chest, we belch up gas, we
cructate sour food or have heart
burn. fatulence, watcr-brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all diees-
tive aids and instead get from any
pharmacy four ounces of lad
Salts and take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast

and Furthermore, to continue this
for a week. While relief follows
the first dose, it is important to
neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver,
stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote a free flow of pure diges-

LIGHTING THE COASTLINE.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Along 46.S28 miles of coast line and
river channels the United States light
house service maintains 14,19S lights
and fog signals for the aid of naviga-
ton. There are enough of these to
place one every two miles around the
equator, and 5,o62 men are employed in
tending them. Yet this service is con-
stantly growing and has much work
before it in the safeguarding of dan
gerous shoals and headlands. During
the past year alone there was an in
crease of 677 in the number Of aids to
navigation maintained by the service.
There are few branches of the gov
ernment service which offer a wider
field for mechanical ingenuity or where
practicable labor-saving devices are
more valuable than in the lighthouse
service. If a signal or light can be
made to operate reliably without
tender. either all or part Of the time,
the greatest expense in its mainte-
nance is eliminated. Experiments with
automatic aids to navigation are con-
stantly being carried on and some very
interesting ones have been made with
in the past year. One of these is a self
firing gas gun which will continue to
discharge at regular intervals as long
as the supply of acetylene gas, by
which II is operated. lasts. Such sig
nails have been in use along the coast
of the British Isles for some years, and
one of them was Installed by the
United States service as q experiment
1t was found to be reliable In opera
tion. but the short. shafp noise Of an
explosion was not considered an ade-
quate fog warning by American sea-
men. because 1t is not OF sufficient
duration to enable them to determine
the direction from which 1t comes
Naturally a sound of vague location in
u fog is worse than none.
On the great lakes experiments are
being made with unmatched acetylene
lights. which will be left by the keep
ers after the regular navigation season
is over to furnish aid to belated mari
ners.
Another labor-saving device recently
put into use Is thermostat alarm, by
which the keeper is automatically
warned when his light burns either too
high or too low, the variation in the
heat operating the alarm.

Many Cases of Bravery
Reported in Records.

Henderson, the keeper, learned Of her
presence. A heavy surf was running
and the steamer was being pounded to
pieces. Henderson took his own assist
ants and. with a number of volunteers.
succeeded in saving all OF the crew,
despite the fact that the Santa Rosa
broke in two before they could get all
of the members off.
One hundred and twenty-four in
stances of the saving of life or prop
erty by the bravery Of members Of the
lighthouse service have been recorded
within the past fiscal year. Here are
some of the feats, chosen at random:
Chester Z. Morris. the second officer
on tender. dived ten feet under water
from the deck of his vessel to cut a
line that had fouled the propeller, and
he was seriously injured. Winfield L.
Creed, keeper of Massachusetts sta
to the rigging of an overturned boat,
and also brought ashore the body of
another man, drowned in the same ac-
cident. Edward W. Long, a Delaware
light keeper. rescued three young Ia
dies adrift In rowboat three miles
Tangier sound light, Virginia, nearly
lost his life in an attempt to save that
of his assistant. George r. Smith and
his assistant at Red Fish bar station,
SdiScStOH, AcAs IoSCuSu q HAu from a
stranded sloop, saved most of the car
go and when the weather had moder-
ated got the sloop Off the reef and into
deep water.
In addition to these fixed lights, the
service maintains great number of
floating lights-light ships and buoys
which make up more than half of the
total number of aids to navigation.
Lightships are used in offshore stu
ations where it would be Impossible
to build lighthouse, and they usually
mark the entrance to a bay or the
out limit OF a danger.
