Manufacturers Record will probably publish the article in pamphlet form in order that it may be all the more widely read.

A magazine writer says he doubts if there are 100 cook stoves, such as are found in American homes. in all of Latin America. Oil and gasoline stoves are also extremely rare. Some of the hotels res taurants, bakeries and homes of the wealthy in such cities as Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Montevideo. Santiago, Val paraiso and Lima. may nave ranges of French make. but most of the cooking is done with charcoal the pots, pans and other utensils resting over hole in baked clay or cement shelf, with the fire underneath. This primitive method has one great advantage in a warm country of not throwing off much heat The gen. eral use of charcoal is also due in part to the scarcity of coal deposits in Latin America. There are no coal deposits ex- cept in Mexico, Peru and the southern in Argentina, Uruguay and Peru, but they are difficult of access. However. there is no lack of wood and charcoal burners carry large quantities of their product to market, either on their on backs or on burros. Families buy a sack al a time, while the poor buy d handful The fire Is started by pouring little kerosene over the charcoal before applying match, custom that is generally frowned on in this country. The five-gallon oil cans of the Standard Oil company are used for variety of purposes. They serve as stoves, water buckets, flower pots and are indis- pensable in Latln-American kitchens.

The Pity Of Self-Pity.

Self.pity is INDUCED in by most men.
Some more, some less. The human
mind is so constituted that under
certain conditions of stress, it turns
upon itself and says: You poor,
abused thing" The ruination which
is wrought by it appears in the fact
that when a man pities himself he
does so for the very reason that ought
to lead him to self-condemnation. He
pities his weaknesses, rather than
reforming them. He coddles his in
firmities, when they need to have the
punishment which pugilists give each
other. No man ever pitied himself
when he is doing the hard things-we
mean, really doing them. While man
is being brave the thoughts of being
abused or i'll treated are impossible
thoughts to him. The business man
who sits down, and while he holds his
face in his hands, bemoans: 81 am
having a hard time" needs the dash
of that really cold water which ad-
versity always uses when she would
make a strong man. Self-pity I'M
twists the fiber of which manly men
are builded. Hard times make great,
robust, stalwart men-when the sub
stance is there to work on.-Bloom

USES FOR MANURE spReADlH
Time and Labor Saved BY Distributing
FertiIIxcr--vchlcIe Can be Used
az a Common Wagon.

Using the manure spreader for dis
ltributing fertilizer is another of those
cases Of saving time and labor over
the old method Of hand scattering. A
spreader can be as quickly and easily
loaded as a common wagon while the
time required TO unload is about one
fourth that Of unloading by hand. Be
sides, the driver has chance to rest
while unloading the spreader, conse-
quentiy he can load the spreader again
quicker and easier than where he tires
himself in unloading by hand. This
saving in time and work enables one
TO do from two to three times more
hauling, which OF course reduces the
cost accordingly.
But the greatest profit in connec-
ton with the work Of the spreader is
that Of economy in the use of the
manure. When distributed by the
spreader 1t will cover two or three
times as much land as when scattered
by hand, for all Jumps and hard pieces
will be torn into fine particles and
distributed evenly over the ground.

"ALARM" THAT is NOISELESS
Yet the Invention May Be Relied
Upon to Awaken Even the
Soundest Sleeper.

Alarm watches that signal the time
for which they are set by shrill ring.
ing are common, but a ''noiseless'
alarm watch which accomplishes the
same result is entirely new.
The story has been told of a married
man who possessed a ringing alarm
watch and who. with his wife, was
awakened every morning by the silvery
tinkle of the watch under his pillow.
It took this mans wife five years, so
the story goes, to discover that the
alarm watch and not the neighbor' 8
alarm clock was really awakening her
every morning. The noiseless alarm
watch, however. performs it's early
morning task differently. The noise
less alarm consists Of cord which
tightens about the wrist. the pressure
gradually increasing until released by
the wearer Of the watch. This Is &C
complished by pushing small slide
and twisting the stem of the watch I
half turn.-World's Advance.

REASON CANNOT BE GUIDE
Product Of the Mind, and Is Subject
TO the VIII but Never
Superior.

Reason cannot select correct prem
Uses; she can only prove the prem
Uses you give her. ooh. what a won
derful creature is man." exclaimed
Ben Franklin; he can find reasons
for anything he wishes to do That
is the trouble with reason as a guide
Reason cannot guide. Reason is al
ways guided by something else be-
hind II, which supplies the premises
from which reason makes its calcula-
lions and records. Reason is a calcu-
lating machine. Give II correct
premises and II will compute and
record the right answer every time.
But reason has no power of choice
in the matter OF premises; like any
well regulated calculating machine II
automatically accepts the premises
fed into II. You have but to watch
your own thoughts carefully to prove
this.
Who, or what, then, is responsible
for the choice of premises that you
feed into your calculator? 1t is life
itself which uses reason. 1t is life
itself which creates reason, the cal
culator. And why does life need
reason? Life needs reason to weigh,
compute, compare and record hfe's
institutions and experiences. Without
the calculator and recorder. reason,
life would endlessly duplicate its ex-
periences and intuitions without
learning anything from them. Life
is the creator, reason the creature.
Life is the actor, reason is acted
upon. Life is positive and reason
negative. To depend upon reason as
guide is to exalt the machine above
the mind that made IL.

A Curious "RIsk."

Nearly every business or occupation
contributes bits OF specialized knowl-
edge to the common fund. 1t will
strike most people as a curious piece
of information that plate glass insur-
ance companies class windows with
black lettering on them as extra
hazardous" risks. The explanation
given is that a black surface absorbs
the suns rays. BY this means, it is
pointed out, an unequal expansion is
produced throughout the plate, and un-
der the influence of a sudden gust OF
cold or any other quick change of tenn
perature strain is developed which
may break the glass.
