The Improved Model. All. p. Ottawa Log Saw,
One man wheels this outfit from cut
to cut and log to log like barrow.
Separate attachments cut down trees
and cut up branches. Extra power let's
the engine do heavy work Of all kinds.
Owners of the Ottawa Log Saw laugh
at coal shortages and are making big
money with ease, the machine doing the
work. 35 to so cords cut any day, rainy
or dry, by one man, are normal figures.
And wood is approaching $50 cord!
The Ottawa is compact, simple and dur
able. 1t sells for cash or easy payments
and is guaranteed. If you have wood to
cut the Ottawa Log Saw will be the
most satisfactory machine you've ever
owned. We suggest that you write the
Ottawa Mfg. Co., 2724 Wood St., Otta-
wa, Kas., for their complete new Illus
trated book and prices, sent free to

The city clerk sent him a bill for 50

Plan Airships

and allowing them to float at the end
Of their cables. 1t is said that a
skillful captain can, in still weather,
bring huge dirigible to her mooring
with the aid of only half a dozen men,
and that even in heavy winds nothing
like the small army which now is nee
essary to place dirigible in it's hangar
will be needed safely to moor the great
airships.
A great mast, to be fitted with lifts,
petrol and water mains, and with pow
erful cables and hauling apparatus, is
to be erected at Howden, Yorkshire,
to test the practicability of this ar
rangement.
1t is obvious that English aircraft
firms are much interested in the Ger
man bid for air supremacy, and ap-
parently a little worried by it. The
rumor of an early service of super
Zeppelins from Berlin to New York,
Chicago and San Francisco, which has
been banded about for a month
or so, was seriously treated at the
Guildhall conference; in fact, it was
made the basis for an appeal for
prompt British embarkation upon a pol
icy of the construction of similar or
greater airships.
Dirigible Floats Over London.
The appeal finds the more response
because London recently has witnessed
the sight, unusual since the days of
Zeppelin raids, of huge dirigib.es float
ing far above it. On the occasion of
the Prince Of Wales Homecoming the

the procession made up by the princes
carriage and his escort. Later other
large ships from the airdrome at Croy-
don were employed to give the dele
gates to the air conference a demon
stratiOn of their ability.
1t is computed that the cost of carry
ing passengers in one of the great
dirigible airships Of the future would
be about 20 cents a passenger-mile, or
approximately twice the present aver
age first-class steamship rate. The
rate for carrying mails would be from
ten to sixteen cents an ounce for 5000
miles.
Interesting prophecies also were

LEAVE TREssEs AT SHRINE
Women of Burma Glory in Physical
Disagreement in Gratitude for
Granted Prayers.

The architectural and religious
pride of Burma is the Shwe Dagon
pagoda, which rises above every other
byfilding in RangoOn. Situated upon a
hilltop sacred in Burmese life, the
pagoda is reached by what seems to
the weary climber to be an endless
stairway.
AT many of the shrines wander wor-
slippers of both sexes and all ages.
They set up candles before the serene
faced statues, or spread lotus blossoms
at their feet. But nearly every one
puffs contentedly and necessarily at
long native cigars.
The strangest sight of all, however,
is near the top of that stairway, up
which men, women and children seem
forever to come or to go. At this spot
there is a small clothes reel-the kind
on which American suburban house
wives hang up their washing on the
lawn. A

PaIer Eyes Result of City Life.

6yCS nSoNie W ~
A French professor has just told
the Academy of Sciences of Paris that
after long residence in Paris per-
sons eyes grow paler in color and
the hair undergoes kind of bleach
ing. In time, he believed, dark-haired
persons with brown eyes would be
rare in Paris. A medical correspond
ent writes: 1t is well known that pro-
longed absence of direct sunlight pro-
duces lighter coloring of the skin,
hair and eyes. Brown eyes are less
sensitive to sunlight than gray eyes
a fact which explains why northern
races have light and southern races
dark eyes. Fermentation tcoloring)
is in direct proportion to the intensity
of the light In which people live. But
the change Is slow. One thousand
three hundred years have not made
the fair West Saxon Of Somerset and
Gloucester similar in complexion to
the Welshman of Glamorgan and Car
marthen. 1t is found that short bru-
nettes tend to die out in cold, sunless
climates because they cannot eat
enough food to keep them warm.

maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-

Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-

Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit

His Chief End in Life,

There lived in an English town a
wealthy but exceedingly tight old
lady, who kept very few servants and
paid them as little as possible.
Among these was an underfed, mis-
erable-looking lad of fourteen, who an
swered the door, did the dishwashing,
waited at table, weeded the garden,
washed the dog and few other things.
One day visitor asked this lad:
swell, my boy. and what do you do
around here?"
81 do butler, kitchen maid and
gardener out of job" replied the
boy gravely.

serious attention to the possibility
that the ordinary gasoline engine may
