A GOODS EXHIBITOR. » How the Enterprising Merchant Can Advertise His Goods. A practical tinner of a western city submits the accompanying sketch of a novel goods exhibitor for a hardware or other store which is simple in con struction and ought to attract much attention, says the American Artisan. A tin drum 20 inches in diameter and 28 inches high, with some top orna mentation, Is provided with a central shaft, a two-inch wide pulley above and a couple of bicycle pedals at tached, one each above and below. A fan wheel 20 inches in diameter is them made and located above a fur nace register, the fan having a IV6- inch band iron support from above, and a simple pulley, such as is used Novel Exhibitor for Store. as a sash pulley, attached to a shaft as shown. A light sewing machine belt is used to connect the pulleys. An upward flow of hot air from the register operates the whole device and causes the drum full of goods to re .volve steadily and with good effect. It is an ingenious device and one that will attract much attention. GIGANTIC EX Machine That Does Work of Eight Hundred Men.

Peat coke manufactured by tho Ziegler process has recently been started at Beuerberg, Bavaria. The peat is cut up, pressed, and exposed to the air until evaporation has reduced Its water to less than 20 per cent, of the whole mass. This peat is then placed in a retort for 18 hours. The coke is finally made in air-tight iron cars which are left for six or eight hours to cool before they are dis charged. Each retort yields during every 24 hours eight to ten tons of coke. The gas is passed through vari ous tanks and towers in which the by products are separated, and is then employed in assisting the retort proc ess which could not. even commence without the external application of heat.

Remarkable Engineering Feat Per formed in the East. This large four-tenement dwelling house is slowly but surely climbing up, over and beyond the steep side of Fort Hill, in East Providence, R. I. The task is considered one of the biggest House Climbing the Hill. and highest house-lifting feats ever at tempted. The same system of piers, with the usual blocks, wedges, beams, rollers, shoes, capstans and chains as used in ordinary house-moving are being employed, but the greatest skill and exactness is necessary to keep the whole structure firm and level while progressing up the slope. One of the principal features of the work, says Popular Mechanics, is in terracing the hill. Flat squares of dirt are dug out, making a flight of im mense steps over which the building makes its laborious ascent to the top. From step to step the structure is raised by screws, and then a wedge shaped shoe is inserted under the main supporting beams, rollers are placed, and the house dragged onto the ter race. It takes two days to raise the house from one terrace to the next, but only 40 minutes to drag it onto the terraoo afterward. Cement Substitute. A company in Japan Is manufactur ing a product from volcanic ashes which is being substituted for cement. bucket, carries it to either end of the bridge, and moves the entire struc ture either way. The rock at this point is of hard Lockport dolomite. It is first drilled, and then blown up by light charges of dynamite. It breaks loose in larg.3 slabs about five inches thick. The bucket lakes a huge bite of rock an<l drops it on the spoil banks. The bucket weighs 22 tons, has a capacity of eight cubic yards, and makes a lound trip in one minute. It is esti mated that the excavator does the work of 700 or 800 men. Building Walls with Bags. The practice of constructing break waters and the submerged parts of piers with concrete inclosed in bagg has been largely developed in Scot land. The concrete is prepared as near as possible to the place where it is to be used. It is inclosed in bags to protect it temporarily from the effects of contact with the sea-water while it is lowered into place. Tho bags are placed in a box suspended directly over the spot where they are to lie. The touching of a trigger opens the box and allows a bag to drop oat. A line of bags having been deposited, the longer axis of each bag in the next series is so arranged that the meeting edges of the two bags in the lower row will be covered. Thus a regular wall is built up, and as the concrete hardens, it becomes solid and immov able. RUBBER STATISTICS OF 190' Production of World Amounts to About 69,000 Tons. The total production of rubber iu 1907 amounted to about C 9.000 tons, against 65,000 tons in 1906. England imported 22,964 tons, and America 16,020 tons. The shipments of Para rubber amounted to 30,£30 tons, and of Peruvian, 7,160 tons; of this quantity Europe received 20,910 tons. The sup ply of plantation rubber from the east has increased to over 1,000 tons (in 1906 it was 510 tons); the area plant ed is about 350,000 acres, or 50 per cent, more than in 190t>. ttrazil ex ported about 41,500 tons in 1907, against 38,000 tons in 1906.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1908. THE PAINTING SEASON. Good results In painting at the least cost depend largely upon the material chosen. Paint is a simple compound and the ingredients can be easily test ed. The solid part or pigment should be White Lead. The liquid part should be Linseed Oil. Those best in formed on painting always buy these ingredients separately and have their painter mix them fresh for each job. Before the mixing the test is made. Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead on a piece of charcoal or piece of wood. Blow the flame against it and see what it will do. If it is pure White Lead, little drops of bright, pure metallic lead will appear, and with pa« tience the White Lead can be com pletely reduced to one globule of metal lic lead. This is because pure White Lead is made from metallic lead. You may test dozens of other so called White Leads and not be able to reduce one of them to lead. If they will not change wholly to lead but leave a residue, it is clear that some adulterant is present. If you should have your painting done with such materials, no matter how cheap they might seem, it would be costly in the end. National Lead Company, Wood bridge Building, New York City, are sending on request a blowpipe free to any one about to have painting done, bo that the White Lead may be test ed. With it will be sent a handsomely printed booklet having as its frontis piece the "Dutch Boy Painter," ro produced from the original painting. This little painter has become noted as the guaranty of pure White Lead. PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE. Physician Had Reason to Think He Had Lost His Patient. Henry Grimm, who was formerly one of the prominent members of the German-American society, tells a Btory about a German friend of his who was taken ill. For many days the German was close to death, but after a time he showed improvement In condition. The doctor told the German's wife that her husband might have any thing to eat that he liked. The German expressed a desire for Limburger cheese, and the wife, being a generous woman and pleased at the Improvement, and in order that her husband might have a nibble at any time he had a taste for it, put some cheese in every room in the house. It is easy to imagine the aroma. The next morning the doctor called at the house, and as soon as he opened the door he asked: "When did he die?"— Hartford Post. SHOCK. George—Something is preying on my mind. Mrs. Sharp—Ah, "something" mere ly wanted a light lunch. I presume. Might Be Sure of That. Bobby is the son of a minister and has had the experience of "moving" four times in the space of his eight years' life. Some time ago an elder ly minister was visiting Bobby's father and the course of the conversation turned to Heaven and Bobby was asked concerning the abode of the blest. "Yes," said the youngster, with a sigh of deep weariness, "I know. It's the last place we're going to move to." COFFEE EYES. It Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro duces Blindness. The curious efTect of slow daily poi soning and the gradual building in of disease as a result, is shown in num bers of cases where the eyea are af fected by coffee. A case in point will illustrate: A lady in Oswego, Mont., experi enced a slow but sure disease settling upon her eyes in the form of increas ing weakness and shooting pains with wavy, dancing lines of light, so vivid that nothing else could be seen for minutes at a time. She says: "This gradual failure of sight alarmed me and I naturally began a very earnest quest for the cause. About this time I was told that cof fee poisoning sometimes took that forth, and while I didn't believe that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I concluded to quit it and see. "I took up Postum Food Coffee in spite of the jokes of Husband whose experience with one cup at a neigh bor's was unsatisfactory. Well, I made Postum strictly according to di rections, boiling it a little longer, be cause of our high altitude. The result was charming. I have now used Pos tum in place of coffee for about 3 months and my eyes are well, never paining me or showing any weakness. I know to a certainty that the cause of the trouble was coffee and the cure was in quitting it and building up the nervous system on Postum, for that was absolutely the only change I made in diet and I took no medicine. "My nursing baby has been kept in a perfectly healthy state since I have used Postum. "Mr. , a friend, discarded cof fee and took on Postum to see if he could be rid of his dyspepsia and fre quent headaches. The change pro duced a most remarkablo improve ment quickly." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. TRY THIS HOME REMEDY. FOR SPRING FEVER, LANQOUR, KIDNEY DISORDERS AND RHEUMATISM. "Spring fever," so called, is nothing more or less than thick poisoned blood. The poisonß accumulate through the long winter, and on the first warm day the tired, all-in feeling manifests itself, causing aching from head to foot, languor, sleepiness, etc. Rheumatic pains often harass the nerves, too, while catarrhal poisons and uric acid run riot in the system. Use the salt water treatment for local symptoms, but a cleanser and tonic is needed by the blood. Other wise a most miserable summer will torture you. Get the poisons out of the blood before the hot season is here. Thin the blood, stimulate the kidneys and liver, invigorate the nerves, Is the advice of a German-American spe cialist. When asked how, he replied: "Get any honest druggist to mix in a bottle one-half ounce fluid extract buchu, one ounce compound fluid balm wort, and two ounces compound syrup sarsaparilla. A teaspoonful after each meal and one at bedtime will -work marvelous changes, thin the poisoned blood, strain out the poisons and regu late the functions.

CURE AT CITY MISSION. Awful Case of Scabies—Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching—Her Tortures Yield to Cuticura. "A young woman eame to our city mission in a most awful condition physi cally. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies (the itch), Incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratch ing and she was not able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weeks but we could see little improve ment. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti cura Resolvent, and we bathed our patient well and gave her a full dose of the Resolvent. She slept better that night and the next day I got a box of Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, and she is now strong and well.

A Btaff contributor of a southern newspaper has taken up the question of the return to the farm of many who had forsaken it for the glitter of the city. He says:"lt is a well known fact that the history of this Govern ment shows that those men who have been most successful in life and who have left their Impress upon its peo ple and its institutions as statesmen, soldiers, financiers—have as a rule been those whose youth was spent on the farm, and it Is to such as these that there comes with overmastering power THE CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially does it come with re doubled persuasiveness, greater pow er and sweeter pleading to the man of affairs when the clouds of financial unrest begin to darken the sky; when the cry of panic causes people to lose their wits and act like stampeded cat tle; when with reason or without reason there arises before him tho specter of ruin, grinning in his face and waving its gaunt arms in threat ening gesticulation. The pitiable state into which some men were brought by the recent finan cial flurry, which happily is now passed, suggests these reflections. Some were ruined nnd a very few bo came insane because of their losses. Two or three took their own lives. It is when such times come that the statesman, the great financier, and the man of affairs becomes tired of the struggle. He lays down his pen, turns from his desk and listens to the CALL OF THE SOIL. There are hundreds of cases throughout the United States of those who have money in the banks and are looking for investment in lands. No investment is better or safer. Take, for Instance, the lands in Western Can ada that can be bought at from $lO to sls per acre which yield a revenue equal to and often greater than their original cost. Those lands make a certain Investment. During the past two months large investments in these lands have been made, some in tending to use the lands for farming purposes of their own. Others to re sell to farmer friends. The agents of the Government of Canada located at different points throughout the United States have in their possession par ticulars of districts in which there are free homestead grants of 160 acres each accessible to railways, markets, schools, churches, &c. These are val uable lands. These agents will be pleased to give information to any de sirous of securing, and will tell all about the railway rates, &c. Shorten the Agony.
