 This is the electrical age, and the average young American has his tele- graph key and sounder, his battery his induction coil, alarm bell and cleo tric lamp. The only obstacle which Young America cannot easily master is a cheap and simple battery-not a telegraph battery. but one suitable for producing the electric light.
 We think We have supplied that want in the battery described below:
 Get two half-pound porous cups and a round glass jar large enough for the two porous cups to stand in upright. Get two plates of sheet lead one-s six teenth of an inch thick, wide enough to fit the half-round sides of the DOT ous cups and deep enough to come an inch or so above the top edge of the cups and jar.

 REAL DE[|GHT
CBy Charles Frederick CarlsoD

tBy Charles Frederlck Carison)
 Last night Theo. Karle, the distin- guished American tenor, proved all mat has been said and written about him as a singer, and as an artist- MUSIC lovers of Phoenix were delighted from the beginning. They took to this big man-bov at once, and he seemed to like the Phoenix people as soon as he began to sing. He has a healthy ap- nearance. a manly attitude and a wholesome way of making friends at distance. He was well thought Of be- fore he opened his mouth, and very nnch liked as soon as he began to pro- duce tones.
 His program of songs was evenly halanced well entrusted, indeed; the croupine of his numbers demonstrated musical taste of no mean order. Ills selections were neither too light nor too heavy. and according to the spontane- itv of applause, were liked to degree of delight. His singing of each and avery number was marked by a keen sense of musical appreciation, by good iudgment of interpretation and thor mghness of rendition. He knows how to draw the musical-line between nlain song and a ballad; between some tbine unpretentious and classic; this nroves that he has imagination and mu- steamship.
 His voice is as smooth as velvet, as 1 clear as the morning star, as resonant is bell of silver and as beautiful as day in June That he is destined to become of the worlds greatest, is not | to he questioned. For him is predicted a long life of continued musical tri- umphs. and that he is Americas own is something all music lovers can be l proud of. He received the most spon- taneous applause of allGhe artists who have appeared here this season.
 1 MT. Karle was assisted by an accom- panist William Stickles, of unusual l ability. He is also a musicianly com poser who knows how to reach the heart. Of his two encores, beautifully sung, and tenderly interpreted, by MT Karle expectancy was by far the best We all agree that Americas big singing boy is well on the way to the heights of fame due only to those who are gifted by the will of Natures decree He will come again, and each year of his career will bring him before us constantly maturing into the fullness and nobility of the artist he is and al- ways will be. Music lovers will not forget him. for his is a voice compliant and harmoneously dulcet; he has ar effusive quantity and quality of tone that, in it's effulgence is heart charm
 ing; his is real resonance, ring, timber and tone beauty.

Njshapur


 The isolated city of Nishapur, in Per sia. was the home of the Persian best known of all his nation to the western world-Omar, surnamed Khayyam, or the Tentmaker, author of the Rubaiyat. The poet is still one of the great his toric figures in his ancient city, but he is remembered there not as poet or a tentmaker, but as sage philoso- pher. astronomer and mathematician.
 Nishapur lies in a barren upland plain. many days overland journey from the nearest railroad point. It is encircled by mountains, most of which are low and barren. The northern range, however, rises to a considerable height, and through many months of the year it's peaks are white with snow. The lower slopes have curious reddish tint. due to iron in the earth, so that rare and delicate color com binations are formed at dawn and twilight.
 Looking southward from his city, Omar saw a level featureless plain, de- pressingly treeless, save for here and there a clump of slender poplars- The winter turned it to lifeless gray; in the summer, pftiless sunlight and choking dust tormented the eyes. Only for a brief spring season did the fresh green of growing crops. the cool mists that rose after the early rains, and the rainbow gleams of pale color from the mountains lend the vista melan- choly charm Beyond the plain rose another row of low hills, and. beyond

MATCH SHORTAGE
 FACED BY SMOKERS

Owing to the propsect of a match famine in the near future, many of us especially smokers-are turning our thoughts 'matchwards.'
 It has been computed by core spondent of a widely known London daily newspaper that each smoker uses, approximately, eighty matches a day.
 In connection with the economy Of matches Lord Balfour said that If eY- .ery person of the 25 million people who used matches would only save one match day for a year the total money saved would amount to upwards of million dollars.
 Another form of match economy which has been suggested by numerous experts. is that the length of our pres ent matches should be considerably reduced, thereby effecting consider able saving in timber. Now that we are considering reforms in our match industry it might not, perhaps, be out of place to suggest reduction in the large number of "deadheads to be l found in various boxes.

WOMEN TORTURED.
Suffer Terribly With Corns Because
of High Heels, But Why
Care Now.

Women wear high heels which
buckle up their toes and they suffer
terribly from corns. Women then
proceed to trim these pests, seeking
relief, but they hardly realize the ter
rible danger from infection, says a
Cincinnati authority.
Corns can easily be lifted out with
the fingers if you will get from any
drug store quarter Of an ounce of a
drug called freezone This is sufficient
to remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. You simply
apply few drops directly upon the
tender, aching corn or callus. The
sorness is relieved at once and soon
the entire corn or callus, root and all,
lifts out without one particle of pain.
This freezone is sticky substance
which dries in a moment. 1t just
shrivels up the corn without inflaming
or even irritating the surrounding
tissues OF, skin. Tell your wife about
this.

Biggest Day OF Season

Mr.. w. H. Andrews Jr., man.
ager of the Morgan City plant
Of the Dunbar-Dukate Canning
Company, reports that yester-
day was the largest day in
point of work accomplished of
the present season. The plant
is now packing white velvet ok
ra and Mr.. Andrews states that
5000 pounds Of this succulent
vegetable was received at their
doors Tuesday and packed the
same day. Another interesting
feature of this item is that all
of the deliveries came from To-
cal growers. The local manage
ment is much encouraged as
they have experienced consider
able difficulty in securing pro-
ducts from nearby farmers,
though most of them signed
contracts giving the company
first call to their crops.
The 5000 pounds of okra pro
duced 800 packed cases. Each
case contains 2 dozen 2 pound
cans. This report will give an
idea to the uninformed OF the
possibilities of the company's
business here if they could Sc
cure the products. They are
now employing about IS people,
nearly all of whom are regular
and permanent employees who
live in company quarters near
the plant. The olxra season will
last until about October lst.
Manager Andrews says the
company is very desirous OF Sc
curing pumpkins and sweet po-
tatoes for packing after the Ok
ra season.
The largest local grower of ok
ra, according to Mr.. Andrews IS
Mr.. w. T. Pregeant at Avoca
Island. He has ten acres IN the
crop and is delivering from two
to three thousand pounds to the
factory daily. Mr.. Andrews
saws the deliveries from this
farm would be much larger II
the grower could secure more
nickers. With the present mum.
ber employed only one-halt OF
the field can be gone over daltyy
which prevents a full, norman

Some Use In Sawdust.

The deadly wood alcohol is about as
useful an agent as any that results
from the distillation process. Manu-
facturers of films, of shellac and Of
celluloid require large quantities. Com
pounds used in r1edicine and surgery
even have it in their makeup. There
is an anesthetic made from it, and it
is of consequence in formaldehyde
manufacture, the uses for which are
Of wide scope.
The huge annual loss from grass
smuts, estimated at from $1O,000,000 to
$2O,OOO00O, is readily controlled by
soaking the seed in this material.
Grain alcohol is not produced in this
manner, but as it is used in large guam
titles in munition plants it may as well
be mentioned here, especially as the
sawdust piles of the mills when spruce
and pine are sawn ought to be sup
plying a good deal of this that is at
present derived from molasses.
The unnecessary use of anything
sweet for such purpose goes against
the grain of people who are denying
themselves sugar. One ton Of saw
dust is capable Of yielding from 20 to
% gallons Of wood alcohol.

WHY Person Freezes to Death.

During the deep sleep which fol-
lows extreme fatigue the sensitiveness
Of the nervous system is greatly re-
duced, and it becomes unable to per-
ceive the lowness Of temperature. The
Inconsistencies of sleep gradually
passes into the Inconsistencies Of col
lapse. According to the popular be-
lief such man dies "frozen to death"
but as a matter Of fact he was killed
long before his temperature fell to
zero.
What really killed him was the re-
duction Of the activity of his tissue,
which always follows the loss of nerv-
GUS control. As result there was less
and less chemical change accompanied
by the production Of heat, and at an
internal temperature Of about SO de-
grees life ceased.
That Is why, as experience has often
shown, the weary traveller who gives
way to the imperative desire to sleep
on the line Of march is doomed to
death when he has no adequate pro-
lection from extreme cold.
