MADE USE OF STEAM POWER
Centuries Ago, Men Were Familiar
With Its Possibilities, but O'o
Not Develop Them.

A real curiosity in the United States
patent Office is n working model OF INC
first steam engine, built by u clever
inventor named Hero century ana
half before Christ was born.
A modern engineer would call IL
steam reaction turbine. 1t consists OF
a spherical vessel pivoted on an axis
and supplied with steam through one
Of the pivOts. The steam escapes
through bent pipes in opposite direc'
tons, thus causing the globe TO re-
volve.
Hero was the first steam engineer
Having hit upon the idea that the ex-
pansive energy of steam could be useo
for power, he developed number OF
devices for its mechanical employ.
ment.
One of them was hollow altar, De
meath which n fire was built. Under
the altar was vessel containing wa
fer. The latter, converted into steam,
opened the temple doors by pressure
upon pair Of vertical posts on which
the doors swung. When the fire cooled,
the doors closed automatically.
The ancients 1000 years and more
ago used steam power for turning spits
and various other unimportant pur'
poses. But 1t does not seem to have
occurred to them that this source oil
energy might be made available toi

Our boys are defending this country
ON the high seas and on the land. Our
own defense against u common enemy
is TO keep the system clean by Kidding
the body of the toxins or polsons, which
are bred in the intestines, When you
feel tired, sleepy, headachy, when your
breath is offensive, or pimples appear
on the face and neck, 1t is time to recog-
nize the danger and protect your bodily
health by taking something for the liver
such as DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
The machinery of the body needs TO
be oiled, kept in good condition, just us
the guns or machinery Of ship. Why
should a human person neglect his own
machinery more than that OF his auto
mobile or his guns? Yet most people
do neglect themselves. Their tongue
has n dark brown color, skin sailow,
breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have
been known for nearly half century.
They are made of May-apple, leaves OK
aloe and jalap, made into tiny pelleE
and coated with sugar. They are stand

them at any drug store in Walls for
