Nothing Like Plenty of Good Daylight
to Drive Away Sickness and
the ~BIues-D

II everyone could only realize the
tonic effect of a little sunshine we
would be both healthier and happier
Cover some green grass with a
piece of carpet for a month and note
the result The grass will have COM
pletely changed. 1t will have lost its
color and become almost white This
is exactly what happens to people. If
you live in dark. gloomy rooms you
cannot be rosy or entirely healthy.
Not only does lack of sunshine i'm
pair your health, but It affects your
mental attitude. You cannot be an
optimist and live in a gloomy place,
and who wants to be pessimist?
Many of the most dreaded germs
are completely annihilated by a con-
tinued application of sunshine. This
is the reason all modern hospitals are
bIilt on the pavilion plan, which adj
mits light on all Sides
Disease germs are not the only va
riety that dread the light.
The germs that breed discomfort,
pettiness, jealousy and real unhappi-
ness are all bred in darkness.
Did you ever try a brisk walk in
the bright sunshine when you seem to
be completely surrounded by all sorts
of ''glooms?" 1t is a simple remedy;
not a costly one, but efhcacious. One
hour of such treatment will usually
rout a whole regiment of these pests.
II you haven't the energy for a
walk, put on wraps to keep you warm
and sit in an easy chair in the corner
of the porch. In lieu of the porch
try raising a southern window and sit
where the sun will shine on you. II
your gloom has not vanished in an
hour, you should consult a doctor who

Aluminium Cheapened.

While experimenting with the in

Humphrey Davy discovered a metallic
substance TO which he gave the name
of aluminium, though he never sue
ceeding in isolating it. Twenty years
later Frederick Wohler, in Germany,
isolated this metal through the use of
potassium In 1S45 he obtained il in
small maf1eable globuIes- In 1861 De-
vile, French chemist patronized by
Louis Napoleon, improved Wohler's
process and isolated aluminium in a
state almost pure. At this time the
metal was valued at $50 pound. 1t
was produced in chemical laboratories
and used largely m the manufacture
of aluminium tewefry. The price has
now declined to Is cents pound

device is mounted we'll toward the top

PECULIAR WELL IN FLORIDA
Both Salt and Ordinary Water May Be
Pumped From 1t at the Same
TirTe.

In their investigation of the wells
and underground waters of Florida the
biologists of the United States Geo
logical survey have noted many inter
esting things. Among these is a well
at WeIaka, on st. Johns river, from
which two kinds of water are OBJ
tanned
This well is 300 feet deep The
length of the casing is no feet. The
well was first drilled to 100 feet, and
from this depth ordinary sulphur"
water was obtained. The drill Was
then carried to a depth of 300 feetr
where 1t encountered a strong miner
al water, having a disagreeable, salty
taste In order to use both kinds ca
water an inner tubing was run nearly
to the bottom of the we'll Both this
and the outer casing were connectecz
with pumps, so that ordinary water
and mineral water can be pumped aE

On visitors is to give a drink of weak
er water in the first glass and to re-
place it with the brine in the second
Not more than half dozen wells OF
this kind are known in the country

wells cannot be obtained in regions
where the waters in the upper strata
differ from those lying deeper

HAD BROUGHT PAS PRAYERS
Lad Conveyed Substantial Comforts

Once upon a time sickness came to
the family of the poorly paid pastor
of country church. 1t was winter,
and the pastor was in financial straits.
A number of his flock decided to meet
at his house, and offer prayers for the
speedy recovery of the sick ones and
for material blessings upon the pas
tors family While one of the dea-
cons was offering a fervent prayer for
blessings upon the pastors household
there was a loud knock at the door.
When the door was opened a stout
farmer boy was seen, wrapped up
comfortably What do you want,
boy?" asked one of the elders. I've
brought pas prayers" replied the boy.

Day When That implement was In
Use Has Passed Away for All
the Time.

The other day a gentleman with
pleasant recollections of oId-time Gus
tom. habit and social usage in Ameri-
can life. wanted a bootjack and tried
to buy one, only to find that none
could be bought
1t was a melancholy discovery for a
man whose memory of other customs
was lively and loving and indicated
that the whole picture of American
life had changed. If the bootjacks
have gone, the boots must have, and
if the boots have then a whole range
OF outdoor activities have disappeared.
To see bootjack would bring them
all back. the rustic or semirustic activ-
tiles of the little American communi-
ties In which the day was begun by
getting up in the cold and building q
fire and was ended by getting the boot
Jack and dragging tightly imprisoned
feet out of stubborn boots
The bootjack is the symbol OF bad
roads, faulty means of communication,
community and family isolation, mar
rowed but healthy amusements, bad
food. which we now recall sentimental
ly as ambrosial, bad taste in all the
material circumstances of life, which
we now recall sentimentalIy as quaint.
The bootjack was one of the most
highly complicated pieces of domestic
mechanism, not many generations
from this one, which lives by turning
electric switches and pressing but
