TESTING COAL FOR GAS.
Successful Methods Employed in Ger
many Which Have Considerably
Increased Product.
Prof. Drehschmidt, of the German
Association of Gas and Water Engi
neers, said recently to that body that
to arrive at a proper judgment re
specting the chemical composition of
coal a thorough distillation is neces
sary, and for that purpose an experi
mental gas works solely for that ob
ject. The best method is to erect a
bed of one or two retorts of normal
size, quite independent of the works,
but with all the other apparatus—
purifiers, scrubbers, aud the rest of
the plant complete, so as to conform
with an ordinary works, but in the
same proportion as the experimental
bed. In this way it is easier to super-
Intend the work; and the alterations
required by the coal under examina
tion can be readily made —such as
in the temperature of the bed, the
size of the charge, and the duration
of the distillation. These various con
ditions must be altered until the best
results possible can be obtaiued from
the coal under examination. That is,
each type o£ coal should be subjected
to that treatment which will return
the highest yield of gas. At the muni
cipal gas works in Berlin a number of
tests have been made on these lines,
and by such means of experimenting
they have succeeded in increasing the
product of a certain coal from 305
cubic meters per ton to 320 cubic
meters. Prof. Drehschmidt contends
that it is not possible to make quite
sure of any determination from the
chemical composition of coal as to
what is the maximum yield possible
of gas and by-products of any class.
This, he says, is proved by a great
many tests and the collection of much
statistical information, so that he
recommends every works to have an
experimental station in order to as
certain for itself the best working
procedure to get the most profitable
yield from the coal.
They Work While You Sleep.
A flock of chickens belonging to A.
Charles, a Maumee valley, 0., farmer,
has developed the trait of sleeping
daytimes and roving about at night.
The chickens are kept near a gas well
from which there is a constant blaze.
They have learned that the light at
night attracts bugs, which they can
easily catch, and have completely
changed their habits.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.
When a little human machine (cr a
large one) goes wrong, \othing is so
important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
"My little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut. teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into convulsions," says a
Colorado mother.
"I decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
"When I reached my sister's home
she said immediately that we must
leed him Grape-Nuts and, although 1
had never used the food, we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk, fie jot
stronger so quickly we were scon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself : nd
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong iiid
well.
"That showed me something wo-th
knowing and, when later on my /;irl
came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts :nd
she is a strong, healthy baby and las
been. You will see from the lb tie
photograph I send you what a stroag,
chubby youngster the boy is now, jut
he didn't look anything like tnat be
lore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourished him back to
strength when be was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on uis
stomach." Name given by Posl'im
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
All children can be built to a m >re
sturdy and healthy condition u,,on
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con
tains the elements nature deman Is,
from which to make the soft giay
filling in the nerve centers and brain.
A well fed brain and strong, sturdy
nerves absolutely insure a healthy
body.

WOMAN'S VARIOUS CHARMS
A Clever Definition of Some of the
Most Captivating Character
istics of the Fair Sex.
Animation, brightness, vivacity are
some of woman's most captivating
charms. A tear inay move pity, but it
is a smile that commands admiration.
Even a witty woman must not be for
ever sparkling—that is monotonous
and wearying; the perpetual flashing
of diamonds tires the eyes and the
brain. She must have her sober mo
ments, if only to throw into higher
relief the moments when she is gay.
A woman is most charming when she
is tender and sympathetic. She may
dazzle when she is merry, but when
she is gentle and full of sympathy she
enchants a man's heart. When her
voice takes a softened tone, and her
eyes look words that her lips hesitate
to say—then, if she only knew her
power, it would be a time of peril for
the world at large! She could do with
it what she chose; only she never
knows it. Probably she charms the
most when she is most unconscious of
her power. The very unconsciousness
is a part of the charm. A woman is
always charming when she is good
natured. Bad temper never charmed.
Sarcasm may amuse when it is di
rected against some one else, but it
does not win anyone's heart. Good
temper is an attraction even in a plain
woman. When a woman has that in
addition to her other qualities—when
she is natural in her manners, uncon
scious, lively, tender and gentle—then,
indeed, she is charming to all the
world. Sometimes she possesses a
quality known as fascination, which no
one has ever yet been able to define—
a quality outside of and beyond all the
attractions above mentioned, and Inde
pendent of them to the ordinary eye.
But with this fascination a very good
substitute may be formed from the
qualities already enumerated, and
many a woman can cultivate these
graces and make herself charming in
the eyes of all who know her.—N. Y.

for the use of the traveler fills a spe
cial want. The most placid minded,
even-tempered woman does not view a
crumpled frock or jacket with equa
nimity, and the traveler's coat hanger
therefore meets with approval. As
shown, it is fashioned just like the or
dinary hanger, except for a slide ar
rangement in the center which per
mits of its being reduced to one-half
normal size for packing purposes. Six
of these nickeled hangers conetitute a
set and they come in a neat little
leather case and will tuck away in a
corner of a trunk without the least
bother.
Another little contrivance vhich the
traveler is pretty certain to find of ser
vice is the twine ball holder, also of
leather, with a small pair of scissors,
held in place on the outside of tha
case by a narrow strap of leather. —

HINTS FOR FARM BUILDERS

Is close to the ground. Foundation

of foundation. Exactly under edge of
building at bottom of wide trench drive
stakes and put down a rough board (w),
as shown in cut. Fill in behind board
with loose stones (s). putting on other
boards and adding more stones until
they stand level with the surface of the
ground. The trench outside the barn is
now filled in with earth, packing down
solidly. Leave old boards where they
are. Flat stones (112) can now be putin
above the ground and cemented. Some
times it is found more convenient to
place these stones before filling in out

WASTE MUST BE STOPPED.
Many Farmers Fail Because They Do
Not Practice Any Rational Sys
tem of Fertilizing.
On the average the American farmei
wastes each year more than enough to
keep his family. Enormous wastes are
going on in many ways, but the greatest
one is the waste of farm-fertility.
Preserve what fertility is already in
the soil, and put more in it. It may be
that some farmers do not know the value
of manure, as some are giving it away
in order to get it out of the way. Others
are burning the straw-stacks instead of
using the straw for bedding, which would
Increase the value of the manure. 1 know
this from observation. Farmers wasts
much of the value of manure by putting
It in piles in the barnyard, and letting it
take the weather for months. If the
yard happens to be near a creek or pond,
a great part of the fertility finds its way
Into it.and probably one-half of its value
is lost.
I think that If some of our farmers
could visit among the rural population
of Germany, and note their methods for
saving manure, most of them would take
a lesson home with them. Most of th«
German farmers are successful, and
their success seems to be due to the care
ful saving and applying of fertility.
Why cannot we stop this waste by
saving and applying all the manure, by
keeping more live stock, by cultivating
our soil properly and retaining the ele
ments of fertility, and by studying th<
subject and applying the thoughts
gained? We must stop this waste i!
we want our land to be kept in a high
state of fertility.—E. J. Waterstripe, in
Farm and Fireside.
GIVE THE BOYS POULTRY.
One Way of Inducing Children to
Work Contentedly nnd Hap
pily on the Old Farm.
As usual, there is loud complaint from
farmers that the children brought up on
the farm are getting uneasy and want to
try their wings elsewhere. This is not to
be wondered at when these young people
hear and read of what is going on in the
world. The monotony of country life
Eeems unbearable to, them, especially
vhen from the farm they obtain only
plenty of hard work, the food they eat
and the clothes the wear. True, one
may say that is about all anyone gets
out of life, but if we can plan some way
by which the young people can make a
Etart for themselves they will be mucl
more contented.
The fndianapolis News thinks that
poultry offers a way of trying out the
feeling of the young folks at tmall ex
pense. Give them a chance to raise
poultry and have the proceeds for their
own use, and in a year or two they will
have become reconciled to country life
and be willing to make it their future or
they will have shown their utter lack of
adaptability for it, in which case the
best thing for them and for the parent
Is to let them lea\e the farm and take
up the work for which they are better
fitted, but don't lose your grasp on the
young people without first giving them
a chance to do for themselves on the
farm and show what is in them.
New Remedy for Insects.
The fact tnat the odor of moth balls

the use of this remedy against outdoor
posts. A New York farmer who was

moth balls with such success that his
neighbors are imitating him. He

man Womans' Club of Buffalo, N. Y., after
doctoring for two years, was finally curec
of her kidney trouble by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound*
Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted,
kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless prompt and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave careful
study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's iils
Lydia E> Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—made sure that it con
tained the correct combination of herbs which was certain to control that
dreaded disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts
in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while
there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia I']. Piii];«
•tarnV Vegetable Compound is the only one especially prepared
J or women.
Read What Mrs. Weisslitz Says.
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM :—For two years my life was simply a bur
den, I sulfered so with female troubles, and pains across my back and
loins. The doctor told me that I had kidney troubles and prescribed
for me. For three months I took his medicines, but grew steadily
worse. My husband then advised mo to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and brought home a bottle. It is the greatest
blessing ever brought to our home. Within three months I 'was a
changed woman. Jly pain had disappeared, my complexion became
clear, my eyes bright, and my entire system in good shape."— MßS. I'AULA.

Proof that Kidney Trouble can be Cured by Lydia E. PinLham's Vegetable Cora poem!,
"DEAR MKS. PINKHAM: I feel very thankful to you for the good
your medicine has done me. I had doctored for years and was steadily
growing worse. I had trouble with my kidneys, and two doctors told
me I had Bright's disease : also had faliing of the womb, and could not
walk a block at a time. My back and head ached all the time, and I was
so nervous I could not sleep; had hysteria and fainting spells, was tired
all the time, had such a pain in my left side that I could hardly stand
at times without putting my foot on something.
"I doctored with several good doctors, but they did not help me any.
I took, in all, twelve bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, live boxes of Liver Pills, and used three packages of Sanative
Wash, and feel like a new woman, can eat and sleep well, do all my own
v/ork, and can walk two miles without feeling over tired. The doctors
tell me that my kidneys are all right now. I am so happy to be well,
and I feel that I owe it all to your medicine." — MRS. OPAL STRONG,
