Wire nails were first made in the
United States by William Hersel Of
New York, about 1851 In 1878 Father
Goebel, a Catholic priest located at
Covington, KY. coming from Germany,
where the art of making wire nails
was practiced. Goebel began the man
ufacture of wire nails at Covington,
and in 1876. the American Wire &
Screw Nail company was established
under his leadership. At first the
nails were made by hand, but soon a
French machine was imported. For
a time the wire nails were made with
barks. that they might hold more Sc.
curely, and the new industry grew but
slowly. In 1878 at the Centennial Elk
hibirion in Philadelphia, the company
received silver medal over French
and German competitors. This called
the attention of trade to the article
and othe. firms at once took up its
manufacture.

DO YOU WANT TO GET FAT AND
BE STRONG?

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach Of stuffing
1t with greasy foods; rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some fool
ish physical culture stunt, while the
real cause Of thinness goes untouched.
You cannot get fat until your digest
i've tract properly assimilates the food
you eat.
There is a preparation known to re-
liable druggists almost everywhere,
which seemingly embodies the missing
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat laden blood. This preparation
is called Sargol and much remarkable
testimony is given as to its successful
use in flesh building. Sargol. which

Crushed by Modern Conditions.

Of all the modern worlds strong
holds of machine-driven labor none
can compare with Belfast and Glasgow
to emphasize the truth of Ruskin's
denunciation of modern industrialism.
Ugliness and monotony are here the
keynotes of life-great b~arracklike
buildings, where the workers toll
~eternally in their day and night shifts;
long rows of sordid cottages smoke
begrimed and hideous, where, in their
long hours of ease, the men converge
upon the corner saloons as their chief
recreation and solace, while the wom-
en- pursue their truant offspring in all
manner of unsavory haunts. One of
the commonest and saddest sights of
Belfast's mean streets after work
hours is a street corner group of girls
from ten to twelve years of age, each
carrying her younger brother OF sis
ter tightly fastened to her by the
ubiquitous shawl. Small wonder that
under such conditions the mill hand
woman has hardened, that her fea-
lures and her have lost the
gentleness and grace that should be
woman's birthright.
