At ten he made his first expert
ment. He got the notion in his
young head that if human being
got enough gas into him he would
rise and fly. So he bought six
Seidlitz powders, made a boy friend
take them all, and then watched the
Jesuit!
When he was sixteen he became
telegraph operator, but he was so
much interested in trying to make
improvements on the telegraph in
strument that he left messages ufl-
sent and undelivered, and was dis
charged. Then he rugged up line
between his house and that of boy
friend, a block away, and amused
himself every night sending mes
sages to his friend.
He now got a job in an office which
was over-run with rats, and in a
short time he had invented a device
which electrocuted them by the
score; then he turned his attention
to cockroachcs and, by another de-
vice, soon had the place covered with
dead cockroaches. He was forthwith
discharged again.
In 1870 he went to New York
without cent in his pocket. He
begged bit of tea from tea faster,
and this was his first breakfast in
New York-thc same city which
later was to shower him with dim
ners, degrees and honors!
1t was not long before Edison be-
gan to patent things, and one day
he patented device that the West
ern Union Telegraph wanted.
what would seem to you fair
sum for this patent?" asked the
president.
Edison didn't know and said that
he would leave it to the president.
would forty thousand dollars
seem right?" he was asked.
Up went the hand to the ear
again, and Edison askcd Once
more, please?"
The offer was repeated.
'Oh, yes," said Edison, never for a
moment taking the offer seriously.

"A week later he got check for forty
thousand dollars. He looked at 1t
and didn't know what to do with it;
and when next he was in the vi
cinity of the bank on which 1t was
drawn, he took it there, handed it
to the cashier and waited to sec what
would happen.
"Well?" asked the cashier. what
do you want to do with this?"
81 don't know" blandly answered
Edison; do you? Is it any good?"
The amazed cashier called the
president. Edison was asked into
the Office, while the cashier sent
messenger to the Western Union,
asking some official to come to the
bank at once. The president, hear
ing of it, went down himself, sensing
what was up, explained the matter
to the cashier and suggested that he
give the amount to Edison in bills of
small denominations, and then send
a detective behind him to see that he
got home safely.
When Edison was handed the
small mountain of bills, he nearly
swooned, looked at the bank presi-
dent, smiled, and still thought that
ne was D6luS yOheu WIFI. when IL
daYned on him that the money was
really his, he naively asked the
president: "What'll / do with it,"
The bank official took compassion
on him, showed him how to open an
account and draw checks against it.
Edison could not get accustomed to
large sums of money, however.
Edison has taken out more patents
than any other single living man.
One hundred in one year 10 his record.
He has now over one thousand pa
tents registered in his name.
what do you think is the great
est safeguard against temptation"
a minister asked Edison one day.
II don't know" replied Edison.
1--WE never had any experience in
such matters. I've never had time
to be tempted to violate any law"
Time means nothing to him. His
rule for success was given once to
a young man: Never look at the

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an carly age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. 4The Sisters of
Christian Charity, SCI Charles St,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
Some time age we began using DR..
we like them very much. Their action
Is excellent and Ne are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have bad good results in
every case and Ia Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and. favor of any medi-
cine is very itutbrtant, no matter
who 10 to taieez& The taste and
appearance areqn&peciaily important
when childfen nj concerned. All
parents know hR4 hard it is to give
the average shed medicine" even
though tie ts}e Is partially dis
suised. IN Using DR.. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, However, this diff.
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets. their appearance and
eandy-lks tssts.et once appeal to
any child, with tie result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich ekgceaate favor and

Neglected Persimmon
 B Most Valuable Food

Fayetteville, Ark, Nov. A light of apprehension burns nervously in the eye of every 'possum in Arkansas. He has cause to worry, for the persim- monless day is at hand for hi m.
 Hitherto despised and neglect cd the persimon at last has come into its own. Exeriments con- ducted by the young women in the department of home econ- omics. University of Arkansas, have shown that innumerable delicacies may be pr epared with this common fruit. The women are learning how to use persim- mons instead of dates and figs in pessimmon whip. preserves, pudding. and pie.
 Here is a recipe in which per simmons are utilized as sandwich filling; Run a cup of soaked dried persimmons through the food chopper, add one fourth of . cup of corn syrup, and simmer until a thick mass is the result.
 Add a cup of any kind of chopped nut meats. Variety in flavor may be secured by the addition of the juice of half a lemon.
