Indigestion causes heartburn, sour stomach, nervousness, nausea, impure blood, and more trouble than many different kinds of diseases. The food you eat ferments in your stomach, and the poisons it forms are ab sorbed into your whole system, causing many dis tressing symptoms. At the first sign of indigestion, try E12 Thedford's Black-Draught the old reliable, vegetable liver powder, to quickly cleanse your system from these undesirable poisons. Mrs. Riley Laramore, of Goodwater, Mo., says: " I suffered for years from dyspep sia and heartburn. Thedford's Black-Draught, in small doses, cured my heartburn in a few days, and now I can eat without distress." Try it. Inst on Thedford's Glass In the Making. The manufacture of glass antedates authentic history. It is only about seventy-five years, however, since its true character was ascertained. It is now generally conceded to be a salt-a chemical compound resulting from the union of an acid with a base. The acid Is silica. the same that is found in quartz or the quartz particles of sand; hence the use of sand in its manufac ture. The base may be potash (or soda. together with alumina and lime, or lead =ay take the phlce of lime. Lime makes a hard glass and one less susceptible to acids and suited to win dows and chemieul purposus: lead a sefter. more fusible and more lustrous article, suitable for optical instruments. All acids net to some extent on glass. especially if the latter has an excess of alkali in it. Even wine may cor rode the bottles wherein it is contain ed. The moisture of the air often dis solves out the alkali, causing the rain bow-like colors (iridescence) of some windowpanes. The Telephone Voice. The voice heard over the telephone is a mechanical reproduction of the original voice and differs from that of a speaking tube or megaphone. where the sound waves produced by the speaker at one end are transmitted directly to the other end. In the tele phone the diaphragm of the transmit ter is caused to vibrate by the sound waves produced by some'one talking into the transmitter mouthpiece. This diaphragm is connected with a small receptacle having' a flexible front and - partially filled with granular carbon This carbon offers resistance to elec tric current in. proportion -to the me chanical 'ressure brought upon it. The diaph.-gm, therefore, in vibrat ing produces a varying pressure against the carbon. The carbon is included in an electric circuit, so that the variations in its resistance will vartv the current strength in the cir Wanted a Sleepar. A certain physician sat in a boxr at the theater the other night. It hap pened that he was the first man to take his seat in that particular box. The next man ushered in had been hitting just a few of the more elevated points in the highway prior to coming to the theater. "Am I intruding"?'' he inquired ever so politely of the doctor. "Have you this section engaged all for yourself?" "No. I haven't got it engaged all for myself. Sit down." replied the doctor brusquely. for he. didn't want to encourage the stranger to carry on any extended conversation. "All right, then." replied the stran ger. "If you haven't got the whole section I'll tell the porter to go ahead and let down the upper berth." Washington Star. The Forehead and Health. The forehead is the first feature of the face to show indisposition. The minute one's stomach is out of order there will be yellow spots on the brow. When one feels faint the fore head will instantly show it. When one is sick there will be freckles and pimples upon the brow, which was smooth and clear before. The fore head is as good an indication of one's general health as Is the pulse.-Lon don Globe. Explained. "What do those letters stand for?" asked a curious wife of her husband as she looked at his Masonic seal. "Well, really, my love," he- replied encouragely, "t presume it is because they can't sit down."-New Yor1t Jour YOUR GRAY HAIRS QUICLY VANSH A Harmless Remedy, Ma'de from Garden Sage, Restores Color to Gray Hair, A feeling of sadness accomnpanies thie discovery o'f the fir-st gray hairs, which, unfortunately, are looked upon as heralds of advancing age. Gray hairs. however, a're not always an indication of advanc ing age. for* many people have gray hairs quite early in life. Of course, it is un unatural, and indlicates that there is some thing wrong with the individual, and that Nature neceds assistance in correcting the trouble. The same is true of hair that i- coinstantly falling out and becoming thinner every day If everything is right ith Naturi', the hair,. even in compara tively ebb-r':ly peole. should be long, thiek anid gilossy. without even a streak of gray.

The aiuSing mistake once made by two Abyssinian Jelegates of the Em peror Mienelek to France is narrated by the Paris Gaulois. Awed by the splendor of his gold lace uniform and the solemnity of his imposing man ner, they mistook the usher at the doer of the foreign minister's office for M. de Selves himself. As they were brought into the anteroum the usher was standing with his hands on the door handle ready to announce them. But at the sight of his silver chain his medals, his sword, his gold topped cane and his three cornered hat the Abyssinlans could not be ex pected to know they were in the pres ence of a mere servant So bowing low repeatedly, they approached him slowly and with great respect until they were within reach of his coattails. which,- one on either side, they seized in thcir hands and kissed. The usher did not know what to do, but the ap pearance of the minister relieved the situation. Bathirg in Gold. A Parisian journalist who had spec ulated In railway shares won 200,000 francs as the result of a lucky ven ture. Drawing it in gold. he proceed ed to a hotel, emptied the bags of gold in the bed and went to sleep lit erally in the sands of Pactolus. The man was so crazed by his good for tune that he found indescribable pleas ure in reveling in a golden bath. Paganini, the violinist, when he re ceived the proceeds of his concerts (he insisted upon being paid in gold) used to wash his hands in sovereigns. A French novelist, Soulie, wrote a book called "The Memoirs of the Der It." It was successful. The publish ers paid him for the first volume $10, 000 in gold. The author carried the gold to his bedroom, poured it into a foot bath and enjoyed for half an hour the excitement of moving his feet to and fro in a bath of gold coins, smok ing meanwhile the biggest of Ha vanas. Old Leather Bottles. Leather bottles, or blackjacks, were common in Europe two centuries ago. The bottles were often made of one skin doubled up and closely stitched together, leaving an aperture for the neck. The thick piece between was inserted for :he slip. It was meant to be slung at the back, a leather thong passed through two loops placed on either side of the neck, and it was suf ficiently flat at the base to stand when put down. The stopper was made of wood, horn or old leather. A good deal of care was required in the prep artion of the leather, which had to be oiled and worked with hammers to make it supple and then washed with a lye so that all the impurity was en tirely removed, leaving the leather clean, and dry. No moisture or air had any effect on it. Blackjacks were, in fact, flagons made in various sizes. They were sometimes pitched inside. A Hair Trigger Constitution. Some one has said that animals have a hair trigger constitution, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. They go off on the slightest provoca tion, because they act from impulse They do not know how to control themselves. The animal instinct dom inates. Self control is the first condition of all achievement. It is said that the first sign of insanity is the loss of self control. When a per-son is no longer the master of his own acts he is not only in danger, but any degree of achievement is impossible to him. Every thought tends to result in an act, so that thought always leads. The mental attitude at any moment Is the pattern which the life processes weave. The lives of many of us are grotesque crazy quilts. If Canada Had Been Ceded to Us. But for the wisdom of George Wash ington and Benjamin Franklin Eng land would have ceded Canada to us at the close of the Rtevolutionary war. Washington and Franklin knew that if Canada had been ceded to the colo nies France, from which Canada hiad been wre.ated some twenty years ear Lier, would have demanded that coun try as indemnity for the expense she was put to .in the war for our inde pendence. With the French flag re stored in Canada it would have been a matter of a very short time when we would have been at war with France, and to save us from defeat there is nothing more certain than that we would have appealed to England. The aid would have come, and come swift and irresistible, and the chances are we would have returned to our alle giance to the crown of England, for it was years between the treaty of peace and the formation of the Union, plenty of time to get into a quarrel with France over some dispute as to bound ary or fishing.-Washington Post. Why Gold Is a Precious Metal. Pure or fine gold will stand any test it may be put to in comparison with other metals. It can be rolled or ham mered, extending it in any direction. until it becomes transparent. It (-an also be drawn into a thread as tine as human hair. It melts at about 2,000 degrees F., and, though it may be kept in a molten state for an indefinite time, it loses none of its weight, even should the heat be increased- The col or is unaffected by air, water or beat and winl stand any test of oxidation No simple acid will dissolve or attack pure gold- In conjunction with silver gold is the first metal with which man became acquainted and Is the most valuable by reason of the vast number of uses to which it is put. It is found in almost every country in a metallic state and nearly always in crystals. The old Egyptian symbol for gold sig nified divinity and perfection- The chemical term used today is aurum.

It was in the reign of good King James that baronets first came into Iexistence. Today you could hardly tell a baronet from a banker. But in the year -1011. when James 1. needed ready money and created 200 "little barons" to supply him wvith cash, they swag gered about in their baldrics and sash es and behaved in the courtliest of fashion. Each baronet in order to justify his title had to maintain a small army of thirty soldiers for three years. In this way the crafty king not only increased his revenue, but actually lightened his expenses. It is not generally known that the title of '-baronetess" has twice been bestowed on women. One of these was the mother of a Dutch general. The other was a Nottingham lady named Dame Maria Bolles. who wvon her way Into the good graces of Charles I. aind received the title from his hands. r ndn ,ri-mi * Com lete Line. 3 1 HAVE ARRANGED TO CARRY A COMPLETE LINE OF AUTOMOBILE SUPPLIES. on hand and have bought them right 9 so as to meet the comipetition of the 9 big dealers.
