a lever, locking the joints and making
them absolutely tight and secure. A
simple movement of the lever releases
the coupling. No wrench or spanner is
required.
"As an instance of the value OF this
device, its application to fire hose, where
seconds are valuable and often mean the
saving of life and property, the coupling
of the sections can be made instanteous-
" and without the use of wrench or
spanner. the use of which often causes
delay. The simple action of placing the
housing box in position and pressing the
lever completing the coupling and insur-
ing a tight joint.
at is applied to gas, steam or COM
pressed air pipes with equal ease and
efficiency. AS shaft coupling it is
time and labor saver as well as insuring
a secure joint. There are no gaskets to
wear out and be replaced, no wrenches or
other tools necessary TO adjust and Sc
cure il in place. In mines and quarries,
where compressed air pipes are used and
have to be frequently changed from one
position to another: in marine work,
where the shafting is often in inaccessi
Bile places; in automobiles; it is q prac-
ticable and economic device. 1t has even
been suggested for use in the making
of shells for use in military work, being
a quick, safe and effective means OF
attaching the fuse plugs to the shells.
"Mr. Hyland, who was formerly with
the Wells, Lamson & Co., and j. X.
Pirie, at Barre, Vt, has had several
offers for his patent, but pre-
fers to hold it himself and is negotiat ting
for its manufacture here in Keeseville
with fair prospect of success.

PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE

Hoods Sarsaparilla removes scrofula
sores, boils and other eruptions, because
il drives out of the blood the humors
that cause them. Eruptions cannot be
successfully treated with external appli'

blood,
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes rich, red

up the whole system. Insist on having

US. TROOPS MAY USE CACTUS FOR WATER

the saucer thus formed The pulp itself is pure
and the water stored in it is likewise pure and re-

Not all the waterbearfng cach are as gracious to
furnishing man, however, the water barrel" for
most Of them have protected themselves against
the maraudings Of those who would drink and live
by impartng bitter taste to the water they con-
tain. The 'peyote" especially, which abounds in
the plains and deserts Of Arizona has a trick of
dtscouragfng depredati0ns upon 1t, for its plump
and juicy pulp secretes q bitter and poisonous
Juice.
In the last dozen years scientists have interested
themselves in the study Of the cactus for its posi-
bilities as food, fodder and economic by-products
DR.. Leon E. Landone, foremost in the study of this
desert plant several years ago conducted extensive
experiments in Los Angeles to ascertain the value
OF the th0rnless cactus as an article of food for
human beings. In an effort to prove his conten-
tion that 1t contains food properties sufficient to
enable man to work Is hours day, he and his
two secretaries for two weeks lived on daily diet
being served green Or fried and the latter either
raw or cooked. While the cactus squad" sur
vived the experience and professor to have en-
joyed their novel Diet 1t is fact that the cactus
never has attained the popularity of fiet mignon
In the whole vegetable kingdom probably there
Is not another plant family having so many diff
ferentiat0ns Of form as the cacti. For It is nos
sible to find among them species that crawl and
