could induce to sell. The agents gave up in despair and the matter was placed before MT. Schwab who suggested that they return and cul- tivate the friendship of the scientist. This was done and the young man, only two years out of college, con- fided to them that he had tramped the entire United States over seek
 ing a certain soil which was absO- lutely essential to particular series of experiments he had determined to make The student said he had found that soil right there where he was located, that the success of his experiments and his future fortune depended upon the properties of the shifting sands on these few acres.
 "He defied the agents of the great steel man to duplicate that soil any
 where else in the world. So. MT. Schwab employed United States gov ernment experts from the Depart ment of Agriculture who made an- other study of the United States map-it took them year, but they found a duplicate soil in New York state and the news was conveyed to the young naturalist on his Jersey farm To interest him MT. Schwabs S representatives offered to give him the New York farm of 24 acres and s200,000 in cash if he would vacate the New Jersey tract. But he smiled, said he didn't want their gold; yet he finally agreed to look at the Empire State property, which he did. He returned and reported it to be as it had been represented to him. Whereupon he signed the papers transferring the "A acres to Mr. Schwab's company following the remark, Now, since you are so gen. erous, you may write me out a check for $10O.0OO.' The check was written and handed him."
 Continuing his story the banker related what happened when the Atlantic City Hotel Mems Associa- tion entered vigorous protest against the Schwab plan on the ground that the terrific denotations " hNh tHC hi5h-pONSi SuuS were fired would certainly frighten away their trade while the concussion would probably wreck Atlantic City property and entail heavy realty losses. ITO defeat the attempt to block the enterprise through the state legislature, Mir. Schwab brought United States army experts to the scene who made thorough examination of the territory and with data which they had collected from experiments at the Sandy Hook proving ground they took affidavit that there was absolutely no .possi- bility of the guns being even heard in Atlantic City and hence even still less of the firing damaging property there. The legislature was thus silenced and the proving ground is being rushed 70 completion for early government tests on guns need cd at the earliest possible date on the firing line in France"

These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects They don't injure the
