Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y, a physi--
clan known to millions through
out the universe as an authority,
because of his many years of sue
cessfil medical practice.
Make a pint of your own prepa-
ration at home. It's the simplest
way, and costs the least. There's
positively no need of one constant
" shifting and snufling, blowing
and hawking, when all these OBJ
nox1ous symptoms, as well as the
foul discharge OF mucus, can be
made to disappear in a few days.
Ask any druggist for a small
bottle of DR.. Sage's yCatarrh
Remedy. Empty this into a pint
bottle and add enough water, that
has been boiled, to fill it. Gargle
the throat as directed, and irri-

Empire Zinc Co.
Now Making Zinc
Oxide in New Plant

One block of furnaces in the new
oxide plant OF the Empire Zinc Com
pany was put into commission Mon
day. 1t is understood that steady
Improvement is being made both in
the quality and quantity of the zinc
oxide produced, and it is hoped by
those in charge that normal operating
conditions will soon be attained.
1t will probably be some time be-
Gore the remaining furnaces will be
ready for use. However, It is felt by
all who have been In close touch with
che construction work that excellent
progress has been made, in spite Of
some serious obstacles. The fact that
zinc oxide is being produced within
only little more than eight months
from the date OF beginning to break
ground for the foundations, speaks for
itself

HUGE PYTHON IRAN" SHIP
Little Doubt That Reptile Was in Su- preme Command, at Least for
 Few Hours.

How a huge python took possession of the British steamship Bolton Castle for a brief period during her recent trip from Singapore to Victoria, B. C., was related by officers and passen- gers of the vessel on her arrival at the Canadian port.
 Three of these monster Serpcnts were being shipped to the Bronx zoo in New York, and in some unacCOunt- able manner one of them managed to make its escape. The whereabouts of the snake was a matter of anxious con- lecture among the crew for couple of days, until in the early hours of the third day out the QuartermaS- ter was precIpitately driven from his post at the wheel hy the appearance of the monster in the pilot house door, way.
 The vessel was allowed to drift for a couple of hours, until, armed with every available weapon, some mem- hers of the crew undertook a stealthy raid, arriving just in time to see the snake leave the pilot house and glide into the sea. The creature was said to measure 30 feet in length.

Comparatively few people know that any person can send hls watch 10 the bureau of standards at Washing ton for testing ,o ascertain if it QuNl- lies as a timcpicre of the highest grude-desimu.e aS Glass A."
 The privilege k used chiefly by watch manufacturers, the Illustrated World tells Us. who accompany each tested timcpiese with a government certificate.
 To ascertain the accuracy of time piece il is placed in large glass-tront refriCpralor. equipped with automatic devices that keep the temperature at a fixed point. in which the watch runs" for stated periods at various degrees Of rr1t aul cold. When the regulator has been Sot. the Aow of cold air from thc ice chest above the watch chamber iS controlled by a thcrmo, static device. and. when necessary, warm air iS intrDlureh from the out side. The three temperatures at which all watches undergoing the test are kept are Ia. 70 and % degrees Fahrenheit.
 To qualify in Glass A." a watch must not vary more than four or five seconds from correct time, and, in addition, 1t 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 a ChrOnOgraph.
