Two Strangers in Spartanburg

fellow from Pickens. The next

The handspring

What is not so well
understood is why a
spring will sometimes
snap in twain or in
twenty pieces in spite
Of the best Of care. You
may ascribe it to a fit
Of temper or to the dog
days. or give any other
reason that does not
sound logical or horo-
logical.
The fact and the
mystery remain. This
spring is a piece Of
tempered steel, usually
about twenty inches
long, coiled in a barrel
between the upper and
lower plates Of the
movement.
II is the motive pow
er Of the watch. It is
made in degrees Of
strength. width and
thickness suitable to
the watch
AS a handspring is
subjected 10 varying
conditions from that
Of highest tension
when fuzzy wound. TO
that Of comparative
rest when the watch il
run down. and It is con-
stanty undergoing a
change In resistance as
its coils unfold this
spring is the only part
of the watch subject to
casualties against which
even careful use can
not always provide.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-03-04

All watches Of a CIV
en- make and size do not
properly take the same
strength Of spring.
A variation n thick
ness Of only two one
thousandths Of an inch
may be the measure Of
the difference between
the right and the wrong
handspring for your
watch.
This again is the
field Of the qualified
workman. To select a
proper spring calls for
experience and judg-
ment.
If your watch Is
worthy Of a spring at
all, pay what a compe-
tent matchmaker con-
siders q proper charge
for a good one.
All Hallmark watches
are standardized and
uniform ty Of the size
Of the handspring Is a
notable feature.

DOWN WITH MINCE PIE!

The hand of the reformer has
reached out and desecrated the
mince pie. Excise officials of
Colorado view with horror the
danger of intoxication which
they claim, rests within the
mince pie, and have decreed
that in future all traces of bran
dy shall be emitted from the
delectable dessert. We have no
quarrel with the excise officials
of Colorado, but we ask if this
is not carrying the enforcement
of prohibitory law too far?
Making a matyr of the mince
pie is striking pretty close to
home. 1t would give the civil
authorities power, for instance,
to enter the home, sample the
mince pie before the family had
a chance at it and, if they found
it especially delightful, to con-
denim it and carry it away with
them to eat it quietly and happi-
ly when they reached a secluded
spot. The authorities could not
be blamed for this, exactly, be-
cause we have all seen mince
pies which no human could re-
sist. It's the family which has
the kick coming. The wise
housewife knows that it is not
necessary to put brandy into
mince pie to make it appealing
to palate. Others believe that
the brandy gives it a tang which
it could never attain without
the use of alcohol. One ia
nous cook explained the differ
ence between mince pie with
brandy and that without brandy
was that the latter was hash"
Be that as it may, anybody will
tell you-if he happens to know
that the alcohol which gets
into the mince pie, gets out again
in the process of cooking. I'm
mediately the legal question will
arise in Colorado, "When is a
pie pie?" In all probability the
courts will be called upon to de-
termine whether a pie is pie
before it is cooked, or after it is
cooked. If the latter is the case,
the pie-maker can only be charg-
ed with a violation of the prohi-
bition law when the pie inspec-
tor calls before the pie goes in
to the oven. This, of course,
makes it extremely difficult for
the Inspector.

HERBS AS HOUSE.
HOLD Remedies

From the earliest history Of the
human race the world over, herbs,
roots and banks have been used as
household remedies. Those nations
who peopled the civilized wo1l,; be-
fore the Christian era have handed
down to US in their writings desclip-
tons of the very same household rem
edies that are in universal use yoaay.
These remedies were laboriouely gath
cred and placed in their crudest form
upon the shelf for future use. That
these simple remedies were beneficial
is not doubted by anyone; today medi-
cal science universally accepts these
same remedies. Their medicinal value
having been proven by, generations Of
constant use, the authorities on ma
terra medica the world over agree
upon their medicinal qualities. Need
less to say these various roots, banks
and herbs do not have the same medi-
cinal properties, but rather they cover
wide range of the many ills to which
the flesh is heir.
Medical science of the present day
has carefully studied the many rene
dies in various proportions and their
effects, and have scientifically demon
strated from the entire worlds pro-
ducts which are the best under certain
conditions for the many different dis
eases.
There is a carefully selected and
scientific combination of simple veg
etable remedies, the original formula
of which is that of distinguished
German physician. 1t is not patent
medicine, but the result of perfected
private formula which has for over
seventeen years proven most benefi-
cial for the relief Of all blood, stom-
ach, liver and kidney diseases. 1t is
put up in small chocolate coated tab
lets, the most convenient form for uni
versal use. 1t may have its imita-
tions, but it has no substitutes. On
merit alone it has made place for it
self and written its name high in the
world of family medicines, far above
many which claim to be just as good.

yOUTH,s VANISHED JoYs.

We hear it asked, what has become
OF olde-time con pone;
OF Mammy's beaten biscuits with
The flavor all their own;
But would they taste as good again
If they were served tonight?
Would memory make up, perchance,
For jaded appetite?
That chicken Maryland we knew
In golden bygone days
Seems to have lost its flavor now,
The pies that mother used to make,
So haky and so light,
Go well in verse-but would they
tempt
The jaded appetite?
And thus in reminiscent vein,
One might ask, Whats become"
Of tn siasd that and t'other thing
OF doughnuts-and them some;
Thy live but in tn memory
AS visions of delight;
We couldn't eat them now because
We lack the appetite.
