Another one gratefully writes: 81

band and find 1t one of the greatest
cures in this world. He hasn't taken
a drink for almost five weeks and says

Note: Prepared tescum, referred to
above, should not be given except
where it is desired to destroy all taste
for alcoholic drinks. Women who ap-
prove of moderate drinking and believe
moderate drinkers safe should give tes-
cum only when they see, as most do in
time, that the danger line is plainly
near. You take no risk with Tescum

eastern end there. 1t was only a few
years ago that two veteran citizens,
Isaac Jenkins, and John Good, used
to tell how they worked laying down
this road of four squares for the gov
eminent.
Jenkins hauled the stone and help
ed lay it. Good was also a worker
Wager then, in 1882, the date of the
making of the roadway, were 25 and
35 cents per day, the purchasing power
of the money being equal to $3.50 and
50 per day. The story recalled was
that before the year 1882 a govern
ment official was upset in carriage in
Centerville, and history had it that the
official was President Martin Van
Buren,.
1t was stated in this connection
that President Van Buren, secured a
government appropriation for this
roadway Of four squares. However, it
is certain that Centerville, Ind, and
Washington, d. c., according to the
story told by the deceased veterans,
were the only cities that had roadways
built by the government in 1882.

And builded a bridge to span the tide

Advice In Securing Riches.

Frederick Weyerhaeuser, Americas
one time lumber king, who died null
imillionaire, once gave the following
rules on how to get rich: Make up
your mind to work at something real
" worthy Of work and work hard The
surest way to make money Is to save
money and to use what you have.
Don't be afraid Of long hours or con-
slant attention to your work. Work
can be made Joy, an economy, a
pleasure, If you combine an object
worth while with the determined am
bition to win. Any young man can
get rich, can succeed, If he saves, II he
has a definite and honest purpose and
is so filed with the purpose that work
ceases to be hardship and becomes q
privilege"

Throwing Heat Overheard.

On all seagoing steamers the steam
is condensed by sea water pumped
through the surface condensers. This
circulating water is then discharged
overheard. In the process of conden-
sation the cooling water taken In at
temperatures varying from 80 degrees
to IS degrees F., according to climatic
and other conditions, is raised to tenn
peratures varying from 50 to 120 de-
grees and then discharged. This great
loss of heat is practically unavoidable,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
Even on comparatively small steamers
hundreds of tons of heated water are
pumped overheard daily. This consti-
tutes one of the greatest heat losses in
the operation Of steam machinery, al
though sometimes a portion Of the
warm water is used for scrubbing
decks and for bath water on passenger
ships.

Tribute to a Dog.

To the mind Of the true dog lover
there are few human passions not
shared in by the dog. The dog is sub
ject to anger. Jealousy, hatred, envy,
love and grief, and it shows gratitude.
pride, courage, generosity and fear. 1t
sympathizes with Its master in his
troubles, and there are numerous cases
on record where dogs have rendered
the most valuable kind Of service at
great risk to their own safety and CON-
fort. The dog has an excellent mem

and Its judgment is often singularly
correct These are the qualifications
which raise the dog above all other
animals and At him for the compan-

and intellectual faculties that never
fail to arouse our love and admiration.

Mattar and Force

There is no such thing as loss Of
matter or force. The so called "con-
servation" of matter and its forces was
demonstrated years ago by Joule and
other scientists. When, for instance,
a thing burns up as we say, the sub
stances that give out the light and
heat are changed, not destroyed. The
wood or whatever the substance hap
pens to be becomes ashes and gas, and
if we could gather up all the products
of the burning we should find that they
had not lost a particle of their weight
and that the form of them only was
changed. The eternity of matter was
a teaching Of the old Greek philiso-
piers, or of some of them at least, and
the modern teaching of the conserva-
ton or indestructibility of the stuff Of
the universe would seem to corroborate
the ancient idee
