The Tobacco Habit.

If a man who uses tobacco will give it up for one day each week he will keep himself frcn becoming a tobacco feud." This Is the advice of a well known doctor. who says that quite q number of men, including himself, have adopted this plan,
 By leaving of tobacco for one day a week you give your system time to ge; rid of the effects of the drug" he said.
 You will then enjoy your tobacco far more, too, because yyJ have become unaccustomed to the flavor, and it is therefore more enjoyable when you re sume smoking.
 .'The effect uf tobacco Is a general sedative action on the nervous system, which diminiShes the power of taste and smell. That is why tea tasters sel- dom or never smoke.
 Leave it oT for day and the sense os taste rccuycrs. Not only that, but leaving or tobacco for one day volunta- rily breaks the tobacco habit, exercises the self control and prevents one from becoming a slave to the habit

And fl was simply wonderful to be able to be in those primeyal forests thousands of miles away and receive from the Arlington station the tickings that spelled so much for science.
 After New Years day we started back from the first stage of the trip which took us 2,1O0 miles up the Anna zon river to Iquitos, Peru, which IS HOO miles farther than Commodore Benedict took his yacht, the Oneida several years ago.
 I've started back, stopping at Ma naos. a thousand miles from the mouth of the Amazon. Leaving the Alberta at AIanaos, we went on our tour of eS- ploration up the Rio Negro in a forty foot launch especially constructed for that purpose.
 Mrs. Rice is the first white woman who ever penetrated that almost inac- cessible region of the South American continent. She bore the hardships and dangers of the expedition most cour- ageOusly and was received with re spect bordering upon worship by the native women. They knew me from my previous trips there during the if teen years of exploration which have spent in those regions and were un- tiring in their efforts to lend every as- sistance in their power. l speak theS language, Tupi Guarani, which is the vernacular Indian means of cOmmuni- cation throughout Brazil from Para quay to Venezuela.
 These Indians are a very hospitaole and intelligent people. They would not accept money, but we brought them many presents of knives, fishhooks, jewelry, machetes, looking glasses and beads and left them a goodly store of medicines, with instructions how to use them.
 "One of the purposes of our expedi- tion was to make good Photographic and geological map of the Rio Negro, to link up the work on which l have been engaged so many years-the mak- ing of a map of the northwest Amazon valley. Another purpose was to test the practIcability of determining the difference of longitude by wireless te- legraphy. To accomplish this we em- ployed the Arlington stations signals, using Washington as the primary meri- dian, being thus enabled to check up secondary and tertiary meridians.'

TANK LIKE BIG HOG

Captain sweeny, American, Who Single
 Handed Captured. Machine Gun and
 Six Gormano, Will Assist Ordnance
 Department of This Country PrePar-
 ing Tanks For Service.
 Washington.-The French infantry that won so much ground in the Cham pagne region advanced as a supporting force to numerous batteries of cater pillar tractors, or tanks" hogliks in appearance, that crept forward with persistency which the German troops remaining in their shell battered trenches could not check and which assured the pouus of protection as they dug in upon their advanced lines.
 So that an American army can know about these tanks if sent abroad Cap tain Charles Sweeny, Q native of Spo- kane, Wash, and member, of the Foreign legion of the French. army, is now In this city, where he will as- sist ordnance experts In preparing sim liar land cruisers for service. He re- turned recently from France.
 Captain Sweeney Is West Pointer, but when the fighting began he was found in the French army. He started as a private in the infantry. He want. ed to be In the thick of 1t, so chose that branch of the service and during his campaigning was in many battles, He was awarded the cross of the Legion of Honor for valor and pro noted to lieutenant when, single hand. ed, he captured machine gun and sly Germans.
 Very little has been written in this or any country regarding the French tanks. The first few used by the French army went into action about the same time the British put theirs in the field. It was not until the great offensive began this spring that the poilus trOtted forward in support of great numbers of their tanks, "Ean- zans," as they called them.
 The best way to describe a French tank is to compare 1t with a giant hog, kneeling so that It's short legs cannot be seen, and creeping forward as t roots In the ground.
 A rain of lead pours from its sides as 1t proceeds, and heavier shot and shell are showered upon any position where machine guns of the Germans may remain in action as 1t straddles the enemy trench. Only by landing shell directly upon a tank can it be put out of commission. Bullets from German rapid frers and the infantry rifles are powerless. Hand grenades do 1t no damage.
 Exactly how the French get the tanks to their first line trenches in preparation for attack is a secret, and for the present nothing on that phase of the use of them can be published. The well trained mechanicians and IT. femen are ready when It Is time to start, and upon the signal the tank gets into action It straddles trenches crushes through barbed wire and rakes the foe with guns.

farming on his own account. Appar-
emily the machinery adventure was
ended. But he was always reading
about machines. One day, after ne had
been married two years, he went to De-
troit and saw one of the first automo-
biles, clumsy steam machine, with
great boiler sticking up in the back.
After he reached home he couldn't
get the thing out Of his head. The
clumsiness of it. The weight. The
waste! He wanted to build one Of the
things for his farm, but he wanted a
more efficient one. Trying to solve the
problem, he neglected his work and neg
lected his wife. At the end of three
months he hit upon the idea of discard
ing steam altogether. He would try to
use another fuel. His mind fixed on
gasolene Up to that time, SO far as ne
knew, no one had dreamed Of a gasolene
engine.
The problem was such big one that
he decided he must give up farming.
He left his comfortable home and his
prosperous acres and moved with his
wife to the boarding house life in De
troit again. First, he must learn about
electricity. Accordingly, he got night

while the machinery was trustworthy,

that worked with smoothness and
power.
He ran his new car about the streets
of Detroit, and people talked about 1t,
but they didn't wish to invest money IN
a factory. The inventor discussed his
perplexites one night with Coffee Jlm
an acquaintance he had made who ran
an owl lunch wagon.
IF | could enter her in the races
here next year, and win, I'd be able to
get my backing" he said.
"Why can't you do it?" asked Coffee
jim.
'I'd have to spend all my time max
ing a new car, and | can't afford to
give up my job"
Coffee jim thought it over. He had
a bank account, saved up nickel by
nickel. "You go on, build that car and
race her." he said finally. I'll put up
the money"
The next eight months the inventor
spent in rebuilding his engine and max
ing racing car. In the race he faced
Alexander Winton, track champion Of
the country, running his record-break-
ing machine. The local man won.
Within week the capitalists were af-
ter him. But they insisted on absolute
control of the company to be formed.
The inventor couldn't concede that. In
his mind he had planned his factory and
the whole process of manufacture from
raw material to finished car. He couldn't
compromise with his vision.
Again some friends helped him
through the year. He built for the next
race four-cylinder car that ran so fast
in its trials that none of his friends
dared race it. He didn't wish to take
the. responsibility himself. Some one

roll. When his plan went into effect
there was a howl from the stockholders
at such a revolutionary proceeding.
But after while they observed that it
paid.
He himself continued TO work twelve
hours a day for the Edison company
and several more for himself. Mean
while, he built little house on lot ne
selected because it had an old shed on
it for a workshop. Here he toiled on
his engine night after night. An old
piece of pipe found in the Edison scrap
heap furnished material for his cylin
der. Homemade castings produced the
other parts.
It must have been horrible time for
his wife. He couldn't take her to par
ties or evening affairs. The neighbors
all thought him bit crazy. But she
was good sport. She stuck it out.
They lived three years in the little house
before he got his one-cylinder engine
completed, and it took him another
year to figure out how to apply the
power to vehicle. The job was fin
ished at 2 o'clock one rainy morning,
and he went for his first ride.
AS soon as this happened ne decided
to build better machine.
Some wealthy men came to him with
offers to start company for the build
ing of high-price cars at 200 per cent
profit. But he wanted to build cheap
car within the price range of the COM
mon man. Nobody could see that. SO
he continued to work for the Edison
company and at night in his she'd He

and the new car tore away from the

That meant fame. A company was
formed quickly enough, and he planned
a system to produce great numbers of
ow-price, standardized cars. But again
the promoters baked. Luxurious cars
at big profits were what they wanted.
Ordinary people would never buy cars
anyway, and it wasn't good business to
cater to them. So at last the inventor
