this leaf, and so got its various details

FAMOUS HOUSE STILL STANDS
Mansion Erected by Thomas Hancock
on Beacon Hill, Boston, Splendid
Piece of Architecture.

The first house Of distinction to be
built on Beacon hill, In Boston, the
highest Of three elevations which gave
to the city the name of "Tri-moun-
tain" and which was the center OF
military, social and religious life, was
erected by Thomas Hancock, an uncle
Of the Revolutionary hero. This was
In 1877.
It was beautifuf mansion, built
Of stone, with the ground laid out in
orchards and gardens, and 1t was here
that the first cree nursery in Boston
was started. Inside great taste was
shown In the furnishings, the drawing
room containing a rare set Of birds
eye maple. covered with red damask.
Hancock was a lavish host. and
gave famous breakfast to the officers
Of the French fleet.
While the French troops were In Bos-
ton forty or more Of the officers dined
at the house every day. On one occa-
sion, however, SO many unexpected
guests appeared that Madam Hancock
was driven to despair to know how
to provide for them, SO she had serv-
ants milk all the cows pastured on the
common, whether this was agreeable
to their owners or not. The house is
yet considered splendid piece OF
architecture.

CALOMEL HORROR

You're bilious, sluggish, constipated.
You feel headachy, your stomach may
be sour. your breath bad, your skin
sallow and you believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start liver and
bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your drug
gist for bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone and take spoonful tonight. II 1t
doesn't start your liver and straighten
you right up better than calomel and
without gripping or making you sick ]
want you to go back to the store and
get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose day. Take q
spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dod-
sons Liver Tone tonight and wake up
feeling splendid. 1t is perfectly harm
less, so give it to your children any
time. 1t can't salivate.--Adv.

WATCHES GIVEN SEVERE TEST
Bureau of Standards at Washington
VIII Give Certificate Of Accuracy
to Any Timepiece.

Comparatively few people know
that any person can send his watch to
the bureau of standards at Washing
ton for testing I'd ascertain II It quail
ifies as a timepiece Of the highest
grade designated as Glass AZ
The privilege II used chiefly by
watch manufacturers the Illustrated
World tells US, who accompany each
tested timepiece with government
certificate. %
To ascertain the accuracy OF a time
piece 1t is placed In a large glasstfront
refrigerator, equipped with automatic
devices that keep the temperature at
a fixed point, In which the watch
"runs' for stated periods at various
degrees of heat and cold. When the
regulator has been set, the flow of cold
air from the ice chest above the watch
chamber is controlled by q thern1o-
static device, and, when necessary,
warm air is introduced from the out
side. The three temperatures at
which all watches undergoing the test
are kept are As, 70 and 05 degrees
Fahrenheit.
To qualify In "Class A." a watch
must not vary more than four or five
seconds from correct time, and, In
addition, it must be able to repeat its
performance in a variety Of positions
and under varying conditions. In all
there are eleven specifications in the
test, some of them involving technical
calculations.
Any variance made by the watches
under test from correct time Is re-
corded by means of chronograph.

IS RECORD Bible
Immense Volume Now Nearing
Completion in England.
Book win Be by Far the Largest Vol,
ume That Has Ever Been Con-
Definite Purpose
In Its Production.

English Bible plans for 1921 center
around the production of the worlds
largest Bible, notes the Portland Ore
gonian.
Months of work have already been
expended upon it. Many weeks more
will be needed for its completion. AL
ready, however, the frame Of the great
book is In being. Six stout hempen
ropes, much thicker than the ordinary
clothesline, are its backbone. -Four Of
these are laced into millboards half an
inch thick as foundation for the
leather covering. The back of the
book is sewed with Irvine round the
six stout hempen ropes in the old
fashioned way.
In every sense the biggest Bible is
intended to be the finest example OF
book making that England can pro-
duce.
But why produce the biggest Biblef
The answer to this question was given
by the "Blble Crusade" as follows:
"The great Bible is intended to riyet'
public attention on the primary i'm
poItance of the Bible as the fountain
and source of all truth. AS this unique
volume is magnified in size above all
other volumes, so the grandeur OF the
Bible ought to be magnified In value
above that of all other books
A feature Of the great Bible Is that
1t will be written entirely by hand
Not more than three verses Of the text
will be written by the same person.
Kings and field marshals will, side by
side with paupers and workmen, tes-
tify their belief in the holy scriptures.
At the side of the piece of text which
they write all will sign their names to
the following:
"As my testimony that ] acknowl-
edge the Bible--as originally given to
mankind--to be as it is In truth, the
word of God append my signature"
The biggest Bible, when completed,
will not only be the largest example OF
the word Of God, but 1t will constitute
the worlds completest autograph al
bum, with signatures, it Is anticipated,
of most prominent English and for
eign men and women from kings
downward. Twelve thousand people
will be needed to complete the text.
Twelve large gostskfns have been
used In providing a cover for the big
gest Bible.
When standing on end the volume
Is more than 5 feet 2 inches high and
nearly 3 feet 6 inches wide, so that
when 1t is opened fiat 1t measures
about Z feet 10 inches across.
The whole volume now lies at the
Oxford University Press. 1t awaits
the advent of Bible year and the gift
by some wealthy crusader Of special
motor car which is needed to take 1t
on its mission in England and over
seas. Perhaps the great Bible will
visit America IL invited to do so. The
special car which is to be designed for
the great book will contain a folding
pulpit and special platform for
exhibiting the text of the biggest Bible
and the signatures.

Life Made Safer.

Improved sanitation and scientific
war on mosquitoes, flies and rats are
recent developments which are making
life safer. So are antitoxins vacci-

public health education. But along

precedented amount of old-age dis

ports that never before has there been
so much heart trouble, cancer chronic
