DEALING IN STOCKS.
Know What You Are Buying Before
 Investing Your Money.

lnNe8IinH lOdE
 We hear of fortunes quickly made tn Wall street, of miners who have accu- mulated enormous wealth by a lucky strike. of inventions that have made inventors rich. But how many or these instances are there? Just a few, while countless thousands and hun dreds of thousands have lost every thing in unsuccessful ventures.
 The prosperous, successful man or woman Is the one who buys with knowledge of what he or she Is buying, whether 1t be a piece of beef, a dozen eggs, horse, a house or stocks and bonds.
 Money has been made fin Wall street and will continue to be made. Those who buy stocks when they sell low and sell them when they advance must make money. The operation Is no diff ferent from buying house or a farm at a bargain and selling 1t at profit But one should exercise just as much care in one transaction as In the other.
 Have nothing to do with those who offer glIttering opportunities to get rich quickly. This will save your money. It may sound very nice to say that one owns a thousand shares of gold, sil- yer or copper mine with par value of $10OOO and that cost the holder only $50 or S1OO But what use Is such certificate unless il has real valuef Better put the $50 cr $10O in one share of dividend paying stock and be sat- tsfied with moderate returns and moderate profit on any advance the stock may enjOy.-Leslle's Weekly.

 Haven't you often asked, How do they get the holes in macaroniF" Yes, you undoubtedly have, and unless you have visited q macaroni factory you are probably still In doubt. Interest ing methods are employed in bringing this food into the form in which it Is placed before the public.
 After the dough has been we'll mixed and kneaded in a powerful machine 1t Is ready to form into macaroni, which Is of a tube shape about One-fOurth inch in diameter, or spaghetti, which lB solid stick shape of about one-eighth inch in diameter. This Is done by fore ing the dough under hydraulic pressure through a cylinder with flat circular bronze die or mold at the bottom. The macaroni die is full of holes about one fourth inch in diameter, and each hole has a small pin in the center of 1t, which Is attached to one side of the hole. This pin forms the hole in the maCaroni and divides the dough on one side as it starts through the Eole, but before the dough reaches the end of the hole the divided side comes to- gether and remains so, making a per feet tube. The spaghetti die contains only plain holes about One-eighth inch in diameter arranged In groups. When macaroni and spaghetti come from the presses or cylinders they are cut Into certain lengths. the length depending upon whether the curing or drying Is to be done on trays or by hanging over ds.-EXChunge.

 Horace Taft. a brother of the for mer president, once told me that he never considered man as educated just because he could talk long time and answer lot of questions about given subject. but that he did consider him as educated if set down before some hard. unknown subject or task he could in two hours make something out of it.

Mrs. Brieht A. Zimmerman.


Mrs. Evelyn Cameron Zimmerman,
wife of Bright A. Zimmerman, pas
sed away at the home of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs Robert T. Cameron, in
this town, on Monday evening, Aug.
13, at six o'clock, from compli-
cation of diseases, in the 28th year
of her age. Hers is a particularly
sad death, and has called forth ex-
preston of sympathy from the entire
community.
Happily married less than year
ago, the bride went to her new home
in Philadelphia, only to be taken i'll
after few weeks. She was brought
to the home of her parents here in
the hope that the country air would
prove beneficial, but no change in
her condition taking pace she was
removed to a Philadelphia hospital,
where her case bafIled medical skill.
In July she was brought back to her
former home here, but despite loving
care and skilled nursing and medical
attention, she grew gradually weak
er, death claiming her after an ill
ness extending over period of six
months.
Mrs. Zimmerman had long been a
member of West Nottingham Freshly
terian church, and had always been
interested in Church and Guild work.
By her bright and cheerful dispo-
sition she had won for herself wide
circle of friends, who sympathize
deeply with the bereaved husband,
parents and two brothers, who sur
vive.
The funeral was held on Thursday
afternoon. Services were conducted
at the home of her parents, in charge
of Rev. F. H. Huffman, or West
Nottingham Presbyterian church.
Interment was made at West
Nottingham cemetery.
