BubbIinq Cup That Can Be Lifted.

The one great disadvantage OF the
ordinary bubbling cup sanitary foun-
tain lies In the fact that the drinkers,
whether they be men, women or chill
dren, tall, short, fat or thin, must
place their lips to the cup instead OF
placing the cup to the lips.
In an endeavor to remedy this dis.
advantage, one sanitary drinking foun.
tain manufacturer has designed a
bubbler which may be raised to the
height of the lips, SO that the user may
stand in a perfectly easy and natural
position while drinking. This is made
possible by a hose and cup arrange
ment, the hose consisting Of a double
tube The inner tube is the feed pipe
for the bubbler, and the outer tube
acts as a waste pipe. carrying away
the surplus water while the person Ia
drinking. The flow Of water through
the inner tube is continuous, no mat

when the cup is lowered into its posi-
ton In the fountain basin, the watel
flows over 1t and discharges into the
basin, instead OF being carried away

LAUGH WAS on THE GIANT
Story Of Thor's Wonderful Sword and
the Big Fellow Who Thought
Himself invuinerabie.

In the olden days, amid the glories
Of the northland there lived mighty
giant who was sure that he was in.
vulnerable So he walked up and
down the earth, grinning nightly,
talking much and glorying in his
strength. Neither sword of hero nor
spear of warrior could go much as
start the goose flesh on his leathern
hide.
And he waxed holder and holder in
his pride until he was heard one day
to shout: Il am proof against every
thing! Thor himself has no spear
that can harm mel"
Now when Thor heard of this boast
he bent his brows and swore in his
beard. Then he threw down his ham
mer and called for his great sword
Balmung, the ancestor of all swords
the sword with edge so fine that no
lightest hair could balance across II
without dropping in twain. And Thor
grasped Ralmung and went forth In
search of the giant.
When the giant saw him coming he
showed all his teeth in one terrific
grin and cried: "Ho! Here Is where
we show them" and barred hi
| swarthy bosom.
Then Thor strobe three strides for
ward and with one swinging swish o
Balmung he smote the giant fall
amidships.
But the giant, looking down, saw
only a thin red line around his ia
stomach, and feeling no hurt, he criet
triumphantly, 20, Thor, have ! no
said Il? I am invulnerable!"
Good" cried Thor. But pra.
shake thyself!"
Then the giant began to shake him
self in a mighty laugh-when sudden
ly he fell apart in two pieces. and tina
laugh was. called of forever!
So wondrous keen was Balmung, tn
sword of swords!
