WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this observation-disclosures

Curious Cause Of Mlns Strike.

One of the most curious causes for
strike of workmen was that report
ed from the Ohio coal fields. The men
employed in certain mine were much
attached to mule called Jim. The
mine boss decided to transfer Jim to
another mine. Next morning 400 men
were on strike, and in the end Jim
stayed where he was.

Electrical Hygrometer.

CELENIUM is a substance which.
through its peculiar properties, is
being used in many unique proc
esses. As most people know, the
electrical resistance of this element
changes when illuminated by Iish..
Selenium cells are made by winding
two wires on a porcelain or mica core.
These wires are kept apart by melt
ing seleniurn between them and pet
nittfDg IT to harden. The cell IS them
baked and treated in various WAYS
and the resultant operation OF the
cell depends upon this treatment. Ths
resistance OF some cells increases
when illuminated. while in others il
decreases.
Another interesting property has
peen discovered, namely. that the re
sistance of a selenium cell changes
with moisture. Immediately IL be-
came evident that the seIeniun cell
could be used as hygrometer to de-
tect the amount of water vapor IN
the air. Experiments ats once showed
that the instrument indicates humid
ity with considerable accuracy when
precautions are taken to standa rdiza
conditions. The selenium cell Will
readily lend itself to use as a regula.
tor of moisture in the air in build
ings. Modern buildings are equipped
with apparatus controlling the amouns
of water vapor in the air, and as the
selenium hygrometer is an electrical
device it is possible to make the hy-
grometer automatically control the
humidifler. Thus a practical instru-
ment has grown out Of scientifc
toy.

Ice Explosions.

A SCIENTIST attached to one of ths
government bureaus, while gaths
ering, with an assistant, certain data
on the upper Missouri river in South
Dakota, reported a curious phenome~
non that sometimes occurs in thaa
region.
1t was in December. About nooa
one day there came to the SCIENTISTS
ears heavy report, audible for miles.
that led him to remark that a blows
out must have occurred on the river.
On returning to the place where hs
had crossed in the morning he found
an irregular hole, covering space
100 feet square, in the solid ice. which
averaged 26 inches in thickness.
The theory is that such blow-outs
result from imprisoned air gradually
accommodating in favorable spot,
where it is subjected to tremendous
pressure by the force OF the rivsy
current.

Machine Weaves Baskets.

THERE is a machine for weaving
baskets which. it is claimed, has
greatly simplifed the making OF
wicker goods. The weft is set up and
made to revolve against stationary
shuttles. The wicker is wrapped ON
spools at the side of the loom and
threaded into it by means Of a tens
sion wheel. Before starting the loora
on its rotary motion the stakes, on
weft. of the basket are placed in @
permanent position
AS the machine revolves the warn

of the loom over the tension wheel
and into the stationary shutties. just
before the revolving stakes reach this

alternately to either side of the
shuttle and thus interlace the warn.
AS the warp leaves the shuttle mechana

Pitting Potatoes and Root
Vegetables.

A good supply of potatoes or
root vegetables often keep better
in pits out Of doors, than in the
cellar or basement under house.
Many times the basement is poorly
ventilated or is too warm from
the furnace.
Pits are easily and cheaply con
structed, requiring but little
straw and "A good will to use the
shovel for a time. For the home
supply one pit will generally serve
for the potatoes and another for
the mixed root vegetables such as
carrots, beets and parsnips.
A well drained location should
be chosen and the vegetables piled
on the surface of the ground or a
shallow excavation may be made 6
or S inches deep and lined with
straw which comes out of the
clean and fairly dry when pitted.
The potatoes or roots are heaped
into a conical pile, though rather
than make the pit too large, which
