Mrs. GEORGE E. WHITACRE, 621 w.
Madison Ave-, Mahoningtown, Pa
Every girl wants to be healthy and
strong, and every mother wants her
daughter to do well in school and to
enjoy herself at all times.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is splendid medicine for
young girls just entering womanhood.
Mothers may depend uponit. Remem-
Der it is prepared from roots and
herbs, contains nothing that can in
jure, and tends to tone up and
strengthen the organs concerned,
so that they will work in healthy
and normal manner.
For nearly fifty years it has been
used by women of all ages, and
these women know its great value.
Let it help your daughter and
yourself.

saw but dared not climb, and was by
turns a sneak, a toady, a whining
hypocrite whose public life is one Of
England's greatest memories, and his
death of almost superhuman grandeur.
When James sat on the throne Of
great Elizabeth, his courtiers had
Raleigh tried and condemned to death.
The charge was treason in taking Span
ish brides, not a likely act of SPANS
great enemy, one of the few items
omitted from Sir Walters menu of
little peccadillos. James kept Raleigh
for fifteen years awaiting execution in
the tower of London. Then Raleigh
appealed to the avarice Of the court,
talked of Manoa and King Ell Dorado,
offered to fetch gold from the Orinoco,
and got leave, a prisoner on parole, to
sail once more for the Indies.
They say that the myth of Ell Dora
do is based on the curious mirage Of a
city which in some kinds of weather
may still be seen across Lake Mara
caibo. Raleigh and his people found
nothing but mosquitoes, fever and hos
tile Spaniards; the voyage was fail
ure, and he came home, true to his
| honor, to have his head chopped off.

The headsman knelt to receive his

kissed the blade. ct is sharp and

Then the executioner lost his nerve
altogether. "What dost thou fearT'
asked Raleigh. "Strike, man, strike! "
"Oh, eloquent, just and mighty
Death! Whom none could advise,
thou hast persuaded; what none hath
dared, thou hast done; and whom all
the world hath fiattered, thou hast cast
out of the world and despised:
"Thou hast drawn together all the
far-stretched greatness, all the pride,
cruelty and ambition Of man, and COW
cred it all over with these two narrow
words, Hic jacet."
The sentences quoted, the most
beautiful, perhaps, in English prose,
are copied from 1.-THE History Of the

CAPTAINS OF
ADVENTURE

SIR WALTER RALEIGH
A. D. 1903

To its neither depths Of shame and
topmost heights of glory, the Sixteenth
century is summed up in Sir Walter
Raleigh. He was Gilberts young half
brother, thirteen years his Junior, and
kinsman Of Drake, Hawkins and
Granville, all men of Devon.
He played the dashing young gallant,
butchering Irish prisoners of war; he
played the leader in the second sack
of Cadiz; he played the knight Grant
stormed the preached walls of fort;
he played the hero of romance In a
wild quest up the Orinoco for the dream
king Ell Dorado and the mythical gold
en- city of Manoa. Always he played
to the gallery; and when he must dress
the part of Queen EliZabeth's adoring
lover, he let it be known that his jew
eled shoes had cost six thousand pieces
of gold. He wrote some of the noblest
prose in our language, besides most ex-
quisite verse, invented distilling of
fresh water from the sea, and paid for
the expeditions which founded Vir-
ginia.
So many and varied parts this mighty
actor played supremely well, holding
the center of the stage as long as
there was an audience to hiss, or to
applaud him. Only in private he
shirked heights of manliness that he

air gap, and fully charge the conden-
sers and aerial
Whenever the ratio of the number
Of turns on the two windings is such
that the voltage is stepped up, the
amperage is necessarily stepped
down, and vice versa. This is well to
remember, for if other were the case
we would be getting more than we
gave, the laws of the transformation
of energy would be refuted, and we
would have something which the fool
hardy and the lazy have searched for
through countless ages-perpetual mo-
ton.

The amplifier here described to be
used with a crystal detector, has
worked more successfully than more
than dozen types recently designed
and tested. After numerous unsuccess-
full attempts to perfect more delicate

For the construction of three-step

Three telephone receivers.
Three spark coils.

Menu Adapted for Turkomen.

The first objection to the menu OF a
child-feeding kitchen of the American
relief administration in Russia has
been recorded in a remote village of
the Caucasus, in the province of Stav-
ropol.
It seems that the kitchen in question
is frequented by children of Turkomen,
a race of Tartars whose religious scru-
Piles are very exacting, and they have
discovered that the lard used in the
preparation Of the meals is hog fat. To
this they object. Further, they protest
ed that meals were being prepared by
persons who were not members of their
religion.
The American relief administration,
always willing to meet with reasonable
requirements, has acceded to the re-
quests of the parents in this village
and not only changed the menu but
engaged employees acceptable to them.

the base small wood screw is used
in the second hole in the foot of the
brass bracket to prevent side motion
of the latter. A hole large enough
for the shank of the transmitter but

top Of the bracket at point where it
will be in line with the center of the
telephone diaphragm when it is in
place. These will vary with the diff
ferent types of receivers.
The small sheet iron standard shown
in Fig. 3 is held to the base by the
same screw that holds the No. II iron
wire to the bottom of the base for the
purpose of supporting the coils. They
should be clamped with an iron bolt.
The purpose of this piece Of sheet
metal is to give an increased magnetic

sections taken apart. After the box
has been broken away, the primary

with six layers of No. "a d. c. c. mag

fit of the primary into the secondary

waxed paper in the tube have been
removed; the three coils are made
alike.
The telephone transmitter buttons
are drilled and tapped in the shank
to allow for adjustment of the tension
on the steel wire to the telephone re-
ceiver diaphragm, see Fig. 8.
The brass brackets are mounted on
the wood base after having been bent
and drilled as shown in Fig. 2. The

A little girl was taken to call at a
big house, where lived noble ST. Ber-
nard, his proportions in keeping with
the mansion. The two made friends,
and the st. Bernard was invited by
the visitor to take walk round the
grounds, and obligingly did so, suffer
ing a small hand to rest on his collar
all the while. Thus, side by side, they
made a sedate progress of the garden

dog. HE walked about with me-" she

Panel Draining.

In putting a grain on any type of
radio parel always remember to rub
the grain from right to left. Do not
rub up and down. The best method Of
applying grain is to wrap a sheet Of
No. 90 emery cloth around a wooden
block, first dipping the emery cloth
in some heavy oil. When no more
shiny spots appear on the panel the
grain is usually finished. Wipe Off
all excessive oil.

Mounting Tubes,

Never mount the tubes of an ordi-
nary broadcast receiving set in a hori-
zontal position. They are designed
for operation in vertical position

a tube is mounted horizontally there
is always the possibility of the heated

First: A boy or girl adopting .

years to use II a. against 20 years
for the average man whe adopts q

Second: Boys and girls are more
easily Influenced to take up the new

Third: More boys and girls can be
reached thar can adults because do
mands are not quite SO great upon
their time and they can be readily

Fourth: By reaching the boys ana
girls. the adults are reached At the
sams time so that the results obtained
in changing the agricultural practices
OF communities are very great.
Fifth: A dollar expended for boys

three times the results for the same
amount expended IN adult work for
