THE KING OF THE CLOCK
WORLD

a MERICA'S largest timepiece looks
"A down upon the world from the
giant tower of Colgate & Company's
factory In Jersey City. N. j.
The massive hands are constructed
Of brass, In truss formation and COW
cred with sheet copper. The minute
hand Is 20 feet long and 10 inches
wide at the point. 1t weighs $40
pounds. The point moves half a
minute at jump and travels more
than half a mile In its "a mara
thons around the dial daily. The dial
Is over 40 feet In diameter and illu-
minated at night--42 electric bulbs
being used on the minute hand alone.
The numbers on the dial are 61a
feet high. The pendulum rod is
eight feet long. weighs 70 pounds,
made OF zinc and steel so proportional
as to permit of accurate compensation
and adjustment to overcome sudden
and decided changes Of temperature.
The bob weighs $50 pounds. The
weights which propel the hands weigh
1900 pounds and provide ample power
to offset all wind resistance.
This master clock is said to be
me most mechanically correct tower
clock ever constructed. It runs eight
days without reminding. Built at
Thomaston. Connecticut, and installed
In 1908. 1t has operated the year round
with an average variation Of less than
one minute a week.

Vulcaniziing

A half tire would be poor thing to take
to a repair shop expecting whole tire to
be made therefrom. And it is just as
foolish to thro waway whole tire with
one small damaged spot. Fl. Henson, an
up to date vulcanizer, will make your
damaged tires like new-and we can prove
it.

THE NEW YORK AQUARIUM

J. Western Newspaper Union.

THE NEW YORK AQUARIUM
ID ARTERY PARK, at the foot Of
ID Broadway holds what is our largest
aquarium. 1t contains 100 tanks and
seven floor pools and Is equipped SO
that sea water may be heated In
winter (fOr tropical fish) and fresh
water cooled In summer.
Circular in form, this building has
q unique history. 1t is 2O5 feet in
diameter. erected In 1907 as fort.
Lafayette was received here In 1924
and Jenny Lind sang here In 1850
For thirty-ive years 1t was an immi-
grant receiving station--almost $780,
900 OF them having passed through Its
doors.
The character of the exhibit nee
essarily varies somewhat with the
seasons. About $50 different kinds OF
fresh-water and marine fish have been
shown. The average exhibit covers
about 200 different species.
Among the most peculiar varieties
are-the sea-horse. said to be the only
fish having a tail used for grasping
purposes; the thread fish, having fir
rays which often attain a length sever
al times that of the fish itself; the
Nassau grouper which can change its
color eight times in as many minutes !;
the puffer which has the power to in
fate itself with air and float and the
sucking fish which is provided with
sucking disk on top of the head and
attaches itself to the glass front or
side of the tank. from which 1t can
be loosed only with difficulty.

Spoiled Last Year.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
A little vinegar added to beans,
corn, peas, asparagus, or spinach
when canned by the water-bath meth
cd, will add materially in the reduc-
ton of loss by spoilage. Moreover, the
time of processing these vegetables
may be somewhat reduced when q
sufficient amount of acid is used, the
home economics kitchen of the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
ports after two years of experimental
work on the subject.
In certain sections Of the country
in 1919 and 1920 canned sweet corn
did not keep well, whether processed
continuously or internationally. In the
home economics kitchen quart cans Of
corn processed for less than six hours
continuously spoiled, while others
canned at the same time, with the
addition of four tablespoons of vinegar
to one quart. did not spoil either year,
although given only two hours process

vinegar are used, process four hours
two or three tablespoonfuls Of lemon
juice to quart have equally good re-
suits when processed three hours.
Corn should always be boiling hot
when packed into the jar.
With spinach and string beans the
addition of two tablespoonfuls Of the
acid proved equally effective in reduc-
ing spoilage. Vinegar or lemon juice
in the small amounts used modifies
to some degree the natural flavor Of
the vegetable, but the acid taste is
not Objectionable to most persons.
Moreover, much of the acid taste can
be washed off before the vegetables
are served. Experiments with vinegar
and other acids in canning vegetables
will be continued In the kitchen next
year.

FRESH FRUIT is EXCELLENT
1t Supplies Some Sugar and the I'M
portant Mineral Matters, Mild
Acids and Vitamines.

Fruit is food. 1t supplies some sugar
and the important mineral matters,
mild fruit acids, and vitamines, say
experts in the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Office Of home
economics. These food substances
help to keep the body in good health
and to prevent constipation.
Use fresh fruit whenever possible
and can the surplus. Apples, pears,
plums, peaches, cherries, oranges,
grapefruit, grapes, bananas, avocados,
berries-the list is very long. Some
where in the United States some Of
them are always in season, and some
are in market everywhere much of
the time.
Use dried fruits, either home dried
or those on sale almost everywhere.
Soak prunes, dried apples, dried april
cots in water overnight and cook them
long enough to make them tender.
Use dates, figs, or raisins. These
are very good added to breakfast ce-
real 10 minutes before taking it from
the stove.

THERE is not much that is new to
i report on the subject of styles in
blouses, except that with the advance
of summer the proportion of white
blouses has grown larger and the pub
lie has developed taste for those
models that are higher in the neck at
the back. Pale tints with white or
cream lace for their decoration are
naturally in demand in midsummer,
but not to the exclusion of vivid colors
by any means. Washable, tailored, cot
ton blouses in delft blue and in Law
ender and pink, with narrow cluny or
other edges used for bordering their
collars and cuffs, provide crisp neat
ness that is refreshing to look at in
hot weather and are in demand for
practical wear.
Georgette is still far in the lead
among blouse materials. Beginning
with the tie-on style which extends a
little below the waist line at the front,
blouses go to many lengths. Some
have a six-inch frill below the waist,
others are plain with short peplum
and very little definition of the waist
line, like the blouse of pale pink

The bacteria which have caused

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy

Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.

toms of kidney trouble.
