on several occasions when ! have ex-
perienced these troubles and they
have never failed to respond with
quick relief. ! never hesitate to re-
commend this old, reliable remedy to

ney disorder and lame back" Estate
ment given July %, 1850
On April %, 1920, Mrs. Crane ad-
ded: Il have every bit as much faith
in Doan's Kidney Pills now, as when

time l have used Doan's on several
occasions for kidney ailments, caused
by running the sewing machine so
much, and they always promptly rid
me of these ailments"

URGES FARMERS TO STUDY
MODERN METHODS AT w. S. C..

with the high price Of farm
machinery, the high price of land
the high price of labor and the pres
ent market conditions for farm pro-
duce, it behooves the farmer who
would win success to study into the
question of farm management more
than the farmer of the past years has
DONE" says Prof. Geo. Severance,
head of the farm management de-
partment at the State College of
Washington.
Farmers OF generation ago were
able to get land, good land, for all
all the way from so cents to 50 an
acre. The young fellow going onto
the land today may have to pay any
where from 500 to 5000 an acre
for farms no better or not so good.
Machinery and labor are far more
expensive now, too. So to break even,
he must know how to manage what
he has better; to avoid the waste,
increase production without proper
tionate increase in cost
THAT is the sort of thing we will
teach him in the short course in farm
management which is required
subject in the second half OF the s.
" eeks farmers course which opens
at the college Jan. 2. The farm man
agement course opens Jan. 2S, but
there are other things he might well
take advantage of in the preceding
four weeks II he is to get the most
possible out OF the work"

THAW YOUR PIPES BY USING
"LIGHTNING." EXPERT ADVISES

1t works like lightning is a fam
iliar figure of speech. That may be
taken literally, however, in the case
Of the method of thawing frozen
water pipes developed by Prof. H. J.
Dana of the Engineering Experiment
Station at the State College OF Wash
ington. He says the ideal method is
to shoot a current of electricity thru
the pipes, and, Presto-The ice is
melted without any bursting and
flooding.
"A locality which has enjoyed
years of snowy winters occasionally
finds itself in the midst of cold snap
with no snow to protect the ground
from freezing" says Prof. Dana. IF
water pipes have not been uniformly
located beneath the frost line, the
result will be an epidemic of frozen
water pipes. Unless relieved this
soon results in actual hardship to the
people in the affected houses, which
can be relieved only by reestablishing
water service.
Frequently the pipe is frozen at
the curb cock, or where the pipe
crosses the parking strip to the street
or perhaps it is frozen just outside
the wall where it enters the house.
In any event, to get at the pipe to
thaw it with torch requires more
or less excavating in frozen dirt, and
then perhaps the pipe is not frozen
where it was thought to be. This
method also leads to unnecessary
exposure of the pipe to further freez-
ing. Taking into account the hard
and disagreeable work and the length
of time and expense incurred, the
digging out method is very unsatis-
factory.
The ideal method of thawing froz-
en- pipes is by electricity This has
an advantage for every disadvantage
of the other methods. 1t is quick,
taking but few minutes to thaw out
a hundred feet Of pipe. 1t can be used
on long stretches at a time and can
be used wherever the pipe is metal.
1t will reach places inaccessible to
other means. 1t does not require the
disturbance of anything on the prem
Uses, nor that the exact location of the
frost be found. Furthermore, it is
comparatively cheap where there is
any amount of thawing to be done"
In Engineering Bulletin No. just
off the college press there are dia-
grams and tables showing the actual
thawing outfit tried and proven prac-
ticable in Pullman houses during cold
spells. The outfit consists of sled
on which is mounted a set of trans
formers such as are used for lighting
purposes, SO connected that the line
voltage is transformed from $500 to
10. or 55 volts. Power was taken
from Che city service by two No. 10
wires carried on reels on the sled.
The bulletin describes the apparatus
and method OF connecting it with the
pipes and measuring the amount of
current used In all 1873 jobs of
thawing were done, the longest job
taking IS minutes, the shortest.

CHESTER RIVER YIELDS
BODIES OF 25 VICTIMS

Chester, Pa, Sept. u (Special).-
With the recovery of the body of the
lad whose plight was the innocent
cause of Saturday nights disaster
the last to be taken from the rivers
mud-the all-night, all.day search of
divers ended at nightfall with the def
inite assertion that the twenty-f.e e
bodies in the mo"gue represented the
total toll of death due to the COLLAPSE
of Third street bridge. Five Injured
in the accident are ir fosEital.
Chester Mourns It's Dead.
It was a day of mourning through
out Chester today. From early morn
ing until nightfall crowds surrounded
the scere of the accident.
Although charges have been made
that the accident could be traceable
to neglect of the bridge, which is
thirty-four years old, the coroner anc
county commissioners said that the
structure never has been condemned
officially.
A small wrought-iron gusset plate,
part of the support for a path along
the side of the structure, which had
been half eaten by rust, gave way un-
der the weight of nearly hundred
persons, who were attracted to the
spot by the cries of drowning boy.
and precipitated the victims into the
river.
The last body to be dragged from
the deep mud at the bottom of the
river was that of eight-year-old
Charles Apostolus, the child whose
death was the inadvertent cause OF
the accident. 1t was recovered short
ly before noon yesterday and placed
at the end of the row Of twenty-foul
victims whose bodies reposed In the
morgue awaiting removal to THEN
former homes.
