FIFTEEN KILLED IN

Premature Explosion of Nitro.

Oil City, Pa.-Fifteen persons were
killed in two New Years disasters on
farms in this vicinity Six of them
one woman, met death in the pre-
mature explosion of nitroglycerin at
the shooting" of an oil well on a farm
five miles from Franklin, while farm
house fire in the dead of night at Ty,

county, was fatal to nine others.
When Kinnear, who was to shoot
the well, opened the can containing 10
quarts of nitroglycerine, he warned
those present as spectators to move
some distance away.
Kinnear was pouring the explosive
when it let go. The force of the ex.
plosion rocked house within radius
of mile, and shook windows at
Franklin. A wrench, weighing 125
pounds, was hurled through a steel oil
tank SO feet away.
The ruins were searched after the
fire had burned itself out and the char
red bones of the nine victims were
placed in small box and taken to the
Tylersburg Methodist church where
funeral services will be held. :.

There are lots of homes without
electric service and electric utility out
let's, but there is no reason why every
home should not have radio outlets
wherever there is a radio receiving
set. ~
Think for a moment just what it
means to have radio outiet series
for distributing radio music and enter
tainment to every room in the house.
The children in their upstairs
nursery can have bedtime stories de-
livered right to their own little beds.
After listening to the tales of "Star
Man" and BILLY Cottontail," they drop
off to sleep to the strains of distant
melody. And knowledge of the fact
that the Bedtime Story Man tells his
delectable tales on schedule by the
clock, means promptness in getting to
bed fright on the minute so that no
word will be lost. A special switch,
downstairs, cuts off the nursery cir
cult, after the hour when little eye
lids should be closed.
And for the older people in the fam
lily who prefer to retire early to the
privacy of their own. rooms, yet dis
like to be shut out of the cheerful mu-
sic and interesting addresses coming
in over the radio in the living room
the whole evenings program can be
carried upstairs and alongside easy
chair or bed, so that comfortable
deshabille does not interfere with shar-
ing the music being enjoyed below.
And for the maid-of-all-work who,
the dinner dishes done, ascends to
the barren comforts of her attic cham
ber-that attic instantly becomes an
anteroom of the liveliest jazz ballroom
in the distant metropolis, SO that even
"going out to the movie" will, for
her, lose much of It's appeal.
And when bedtime for the whole
family comes, it is not so hard to tear
away from those best programs of
the evening" of the distant broadcast
ing stations which always come in
clearest after midnight every one
in the family knows that these con-
certs will follow him or her to bed
room and guestroom, so that ones last
drowsy memory between cool cover
lets, is of Indiana Moon" or "The
Golden Shore"
Right here, of course, it should be
explained that the secret of letting the
family Ego to sleep by radio is a
clock switch (of the type used on cleo
trio eookers), which is inserted in the
A-battery circuit, and opens that cir
cult after the elapse of any predeter-
mined time, from ten minutes TO two
hours. For the womenfolk who are
usually at home all day long, radio
throughout the house offers relief from

How all the possibilities described
have been actually worked out in a
small home in the suburbs of New
York city, is shown in the accompany
ing diagram of the radio secondary
circuits in use in the home of the edi-

The various house circuits are con-
trolled by a group switch, which short
circuits the lines not to be operated.
The plug which feeds this house cir
cult can be plugged into the radio set
directly, for operating headphones
only, or can also be plugged into a
jack on the amplifier, when it is desir-
able to build up volume for the loud

the circuits are in series, with short
circuiting jacks, except the pair feed

pair in the 10-wire cable for the vari-

phones. Outlets tapped from this pair
are bridging connections, with jacks
that remain open-circuited on removal
of the plugs.

Mumho Jumbo.
PETROLEUM JELLY


Mumbo Jumbo is hideous demon
greatly feared by the negro women of
western Africa and frequently invoked
as means of keeping them in subjec-
ton. The expression is used at the
present day in civilized communities to
denote any senseless jargon or absurd
object of popular idolatry.
This is a strange bugbear, common
to the Mandingo towns, and much en-
ployed by the pagan natives in keeping
their women in subsection, for, as the
Kaffirs are not restricted in the number
of their wives, every one marries as
many as he can conveniently maintain
and as it frequently happens that the
ladies do not agree among themselves,
family quarrels sometimes rise TO such
a height that the authority of the hus-
band can no longer preserve peace in
his household. In such cases the inter
position of Mumbo Jumbo is called in
and is always decisive. "-Mungo Park.

Tracing the course of business de-

peak of the output was reached in

industrial activity during the summer
months which, the board said, arose
more from ga hesitancy of business
concerns in placing forward orders
than from lessened demand on the
part of the ultimate consumer.

Swamp Root a Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or 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 a healthy con
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be respondent; it makes any
one 80.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tons.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine will do for them.
By enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., B~inghamton, N. Y, you may receive
sample size bottle by parcel post. You
can purchase medium and large size bottles
at all drug tores.-Advertisement.
