.BACKiCHE is DISCOUnAGING
But Not So Bad if You Know How to
Reach the Cause.

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when
you awaken, pains pierce you when
you bend or lift. It's hard to work
or to rest. Backache often indicates
bad kidneys and calls for prompt
treatment. The best recommended
remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills. Profit
by this experience:
G. A. Greening, real estate dealer
of Monroe, Mich, says: 81 have had
twenty years of suffering from back
ache and other kidney trouble. / tried
everything to get relief without re
suits until l began using Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Five boxes gave me per-
manent cure. / cheerefully recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pills to all those
who are afflicted with pain in the
back, dizzy spells, tired feeling, cold
in the kidneys or any other sign OF
kidney complaint"
Price Soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that

TR|-sTATE TRACTOR
DEMONSTRATION

The Tri-State Tractor Demonstra-
tion which will be held at Toledo next
month, on Tuesday, Aug. Sth, gives
promise of being the largest demon
stration ever held in the East, not
only for the tractors erected, but for
the attendance. At least five thou
sand visitors are expected and ar
rangements are being made to park
several hundred automobiles.
The demonstration has been ar
ranged by the jobbing houses at To-
ledo Ohio, and large number of
tractors not represented at Toledo
have been entered as well.
The demonstration will be held at
Holbrook Farm, corner Front and
Dearborn streets, Eas Toledo, on a
plot Of 80 acres, twenty of which
will be Ihowed up.
been entered are the Avery, Bull,
Mogul, Parrett, ePoria, Titan, Water
loo Boy underslung type, Waterloo
Boy Trailer type.
The demonstration will start
promptly at 10 a. m. after the taking
of an official photograph. 1t will
continue until noon when an intermis-
sion of one hour will be allowed
When the plowing is completed, har-
rows and discs will be used to put the
ground in condition. All of the trac-
tors entered will pull either two OF
three plows. These are the sizes
which are proving popular in this Sec
ton.
The demonstration is in no way
competitive, except as to quality OF
work done, and each visitor will be
called on to decide for himself as to
his favorite machine. The demon
stration will be the best opportunity
that has yet been given in the East
to observe several modern steel horses
at work in one field at the same time

DEVICE MEASURES
HEAT OF STARS
LATEST MACHINE HAS MOST
! DELICATE THERMo ELEC-
TRIO BATTERY
Extensive Experiments are Conducted
by U. S. Officials

Perhaps the most delicate thermo
electric battery ever constructed is
that used by the w. w. Coblentze,
physicist of the United States bureau
Of standards, in the radiation pyro.
meter with which he has succeeded
In measuring the heat that reaches
the earth from 112 celestial bodies
4 Guiding 105 stars. These measure.
plents are the first extensive series
of the kind ever made, and the work
was done by Mr.. Coblentze in the Lick
observatory at Mount Hamilton, Cal,
last summer. AS an example of the
amount of heat that the earth receives
from the stars, Mr.. Coblentze esti-
mated that if the rays OF Polaris, or
the North Star, were focused upon q
gramme of water it would require
100000 years for the temperature Of
the water to be raised one degree
centigrade. The suns rays will accom-
plish the same work in about one min
ute.
The distinctive thing about the py.
rometer devised by Mr.. CoblentZe is
is extreme delicacy, which makes 1t
sensitlve to a change in temperature
of a mfllionth of a degree. With the
aid of three foot reflector, his in
strument will register the presence
OF a candle fifty two miles away.
The vital part of the instrument is
a thermal battery made by joining
two wires of different metals-either
platinum and silver or bismuth and
s'lver-and covering the junction with
a heat absorbing surface painted with
lamp black. The wire used is so fine
that it can scarcely he seen without
the aid of a reading glass. and the abb
sorbing surface is about the size Of
. pinhead.
This battery is indosed in a glass
cell with a window Of flourite. A
vacuum is maintainedtin the cell. and

was instrumental In stopping Lees
famous charge at Appomattox on
April 9, 1865, the day of the surrender.
The 11th Maine infantry was in he
rear of the Federal cavalry, which
was being pushed back, so tha. when
Lees charge came the 18th was
entirely surrounded on the top of q
hill. The soldiers sought to avoid cep.
ture by fleeing, and Captain Maxfield
leaped over a nearby fence, sword in
hand, landed in the open arms of a
Confederate cavalryman and was
made prisoner.
The sword disappeared in the con
fusion of the capture. The brigade of
Lees cavalry which made that charge
cid not surrender, but on the surren-
der Of Lee disbanded and went homo.
and Captain Maxfield was set al LIB
erty. He went TO the scene of the cav
airy charge and searched for the
sword, but failed to find it.
He reached field hospital at Farm
vile, Va, and when he saw men lying
there who had lost an arm or leg or
TN eye he said to himself, whats the
loss of a sword?" and gave up the
search for it. There was a certain
amount of sentiment attached to 1t,
however, for he had used 1t during the
campaign of 1864 and 1865 and with it
had saluted Lincoln and Gran.
The sword had solingen blade
made by Claude Clauberg, the German
sword maker and was mounted by
Schuyler, Hartley and Graham. En-
graved on the inside of the handle was
the following:
"Lt. A. Maxfield, Eleventh Maine
Volunteer Infantry"
A few weeks ago an item appeared
in Philadelphia newspaper about a
sword belonging to N. A. Maxfield,
which had been taken from Federal
officer on the field at Appomattox and
had been hanging over a manteI at
The home of John Davis Arbuckle near
Lewisburg, w. Va, ever since.
The item was clipped from the pa
per and sent to Mrs. Ella Moore of
Lewiston, Maine, by relatives who
knew that Mrs. Moore had relatives
of the name of MaXfield They thought
she might know of Captain Maxf,eld's
whereabouts, but she did not. Mrs.
Moore had an article about the sword
published in a Lewiston paper, and
it was from this that Capt Maxfield
learned about it.
He got into communication with Mr..
Arbuckle and the latter invited him
to West Virginia for visit. Captain
Manifold could not so, so Mr.. Ar
buckle sent him the sword by parcel
pos..
The item which led to the recovery
oi the sword and which appeared in
the Philadelphia paper read as fol.
lows:
"Lewisbprg, w. Va.-John Davis Ar
buckle, who fought in the Confederate
ranks during the civil war, has been
waiting fifty years to return sword
which he captured from hluecoat
during the late unpleasantness. Mr..
Arbuckle took the sword from Yam
kee officer in General Lees last
charge at Appomattox, April 9. 1865.
The name engraved on the weapon is

so worn Captain Maxfield found ON
