DISCOVERED ERROR TOO LATE
as to the Meaning of His Wife's
Mutterings.

Gov. Ephraim Morgan of West Vir-
ginia was talking at a dinner about
certain coal-mine complications.

does anything rash. Rashness-but
perhaps you have not heard the story
OF Roland.
"a certain man got married, and
one night IN the honeymoon he was
awakened by the voice of his young
bride talking in her sleep.
Roland she sighed, Roland
Roland Over and over, you know,
like that. 1t was terrible.
THE man grew wild with jealousy,
for his name was Hank. not Roland,
and Selling the poor girl by the throat,
he put an end to her then and there.
"A rash deed, believe me, for Hank
learned afterward from. her family
that his wife had worked for several
years in a cafeteria, and the Roland
he had heard of her dreaming lips
was really Roll and meaning, of
course, an order for Roll and butter"

New Magnetic HrakIne Device.

A magnetic braking device. de-
scribed in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine, has recently been designed, that
has for it's object the stopping of air
planes landing on the deck of a ship,
the roof of a building, or other linn
tied area. Two somewhat similar
schemes are proposed, both of which
involve the use of an iron landing
platform. In one, electromagnetic are
located at various points throughout
the iron platform and are e%nergized
by turning on the current from an
electric generator, in such a manner
that adjacent sections are of opposite
polarity. Iron-shod skids on the plane
are attracted to the platform with a
force that can be regulated, and In
this manner the landing of the plane
is controlled and checked to within
a short distance, depending upon the
strength of the magnets. The other
scheme contemplates the use of cleo
tromagnets directly attached to the
landing shoes, and an electric gener-
ator and control system installed in
the airplane.

The fortieth anniversary of the open
ing of the first central station electric
generating plant by Thomas A. Edison,
celebrated recently. has recalled the
skepticism that greeted Edison's pro-
.posal to provide an electric light of
convenient size and to supply electric
heat and power as we'll. One doubter
exclaimed: "Neither Mr.. Edison nor
anyone else can override the well-known
laws of nature, and when he is made
to say that the same wire that brings
you light will also bring you power
and heat. there is no difficulty in see
ing that more is promised than can
possibly be performed. The talk about
cooking food by heat derived from
electricity is absurd"

FREEDOM FROM
LAxATWES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.

Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way-a means as simple as Nature
itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat
ural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubrieating action of Nujol most
closely resembles that of Natures own
lubricant. AS Nujol is not a laxative
it CANNOT grippe. 1t is in no n a
medicine. And like pure water it is
harmless and pleasant.
Nujol is prescribed by physicians
used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle
from your druggist today.-Adyertise-
