Before taking the sole agency of Oil City for the "Free," we had this machine for six months in one of our work rooms. We tried it on carpets. We tried it on leather goods. We sewed 40 thicknesses of muslin at the rate of 20 stitches a minute. We tried it on the finest of silks and mulls, and found it made a perfect stitch on the heavy material and did not puck er on the fine. In fact, the test we gave the "Free" Sewing Machine would have put any other high grade sewing machine on the scrap pile. After giving it this test we knew we had the best sewing machine on the market. It is the lighest run ning, high-speed sewing machine in the world. The "Free" has 24 better points than any other machhine. The "Free" has eight sets of ball bearings where other machines, if they have ball bearings, have from one to two sets. It impossible to tell you all the good points about this machine. You must come in and see it lor yourself. The "Free" is the only insured Sewing Machine on the market. This means that if your home burns and your machine is totally destroyed we will give you a new machine; that if in moving by freight or by van, your machine is broken, we will replace it with a new one, or, if destroyed by water, cyclone or blizzard any time within a period of five years. There is also an indefinite guarantee, something never heard of before. You can join this club upon the payment of $5 down and $1 per week, llemember, on the payment of the first five dollars the machine is delivered to your home. The Smarl & Silberberq Co. OIL CITY. PA.

SANITARY LAWS ARE BROKEN "Don't let's put too much blame un the farmers." says State Health Com missioner Dixon in discussing the question of a pure milk supply, a problem that is troubling so many aiunicipalUies throughout Pennsylva nia. "As an old farmer myself who has led the reapers around the wheat field, swinging a cradle and then lu the evening milking my share of the rows I am naturally favorable to the ''airy farmer, but It is the close study of actual conditions that convinces me that the first disease germs often, per haps most frequently, get Into the milk after it has passed out of the farmer's control. "The farmer appreciates more today than ever the necessity of keeping milk clean. He knows that if it reaches the market sweet and pure the demand will be increased. He is up against a difficult task to make money out of his milk dairy when be has to constantly buy new cattle to take the place of those that have gone dry, become sick or died. Dairyman's Problems. "He must produce or purchase food for them, keep up the stable, pay bis help, constantly replenish his supply of pans, buckets, etc., and haul this milk over all kinds of roads, through all sorts of weather and then receive for all this 4 or 4V4 cents a quart from the dealer. "The milk often begins to receive pollution on the railroad, when an at tendant takes off the lid of a milk can, helps himself to a drink and then re places the lid, drippings of milk which have reached bis lips golug hack into the can. "Does this sound like an exagKern tion? Let me cite you a case. I re member a baggagemaster who onrt: called upon me for medical advice. I found him suffering with pulmonary tuberculosis. When I advised him to drink plenty of milk he informed me that he was drinking a great deal of It. He said he hauled milk In his hag- gage car and that he was In the habit of drinking out of the lids of the cans. "At the stations and along the streets the milk dealers often purchase from each other. The purchaser sticks bis finger into the milk and then into his mouth to determine the sweetness and then into the second can until he tests as many cans of milk as he pro poses purchasing. . Unsanitary Methods. "Only a few days ago a gentleman came Into my office to tell me he had Just witnessed his own milk man hand a street cleaner a drink of milk con tained lu the lid of his can and then replace the lid. "I have witnessed over and over again milk men collect bottles from their customers, poke the Index finger In the mouth of one and the thumb In the other to carry the bottles to hi 4 wagon. Trusting that they had been properly cleansed by O.e housewife, the bottles were at, once refilled, caps taken out of n pocket which also con tained a handkerchief and then these bottles of milk were delivered to the next customers. It Is not worth while to enumerate other Instances to make my point clear, that Is, we must not confine oui selves to the dairy farm In looking for conditions that render milk Impure. Oiif municipalities throughout the state will have to keep their eyes open to the way In which the dealers and others are handling the milk after It has left the farmer's care." An Effort to Console. "Yes." s:iUI Mrs. I'luminerton. "my a mentors were unions the country's first m-tllcrs."

Lincoln replied: "It was my terrible discouragement which did that for me. When 1 was a young man I went Into an olllce to study law. I saw that a lawyer's business Is largely to prove things. I tm id to myself, 'Lincoln, wbeu Is n thing proved'' That was a poser. What constitutes proof? Xot evidence; that was not tho point. There may be evidence enough, but wherein consists the proof? 1 groaned over the question and finally said to myself, 'Ah. Lincoln, you can't tell.' Tlieu I thought what use Is It for me to be tu a Inw ollice If I cau't tell when a thing Is proved? "So I gave It up and went bnck home. Soon after 1 returned to the old log cabin I fell In with a copy of Eu clid. I had not the slightest notion of what Fuclld was, nnd I thought I would Ilnd out. 1 therefore began at the beginning, and before spring I bad gone through the old Kmild'a geometry and could demonstrate every proposl tlon In the book. Then in the spring, when I had got through with It, 1 said to myself one day, 'Ah, do you know when a thing Is proved?' and 1 an swered. 'Yes. sir; I do. Then you may go back to the law shop,' nnd 1 went." LUCKY IMITATION. An Kxperlcnoa Wl'.h th Russian Au tscrtt r,!r.rclir.l Gcurk.

The ancients had some queer theories whereby they sought to explain the rising ami setting of the sun. They thought the earth to be Mat nnd wero greatly puzzled to know how the same sun which plunged luto the ocean at a fabulous distance In the west roul.l reappear the next morning at an equal ly great dNtnnce lu tho east. A num ber of remarkable theories .were ad vanced, nnd every one of them was wrong. MytlinlngistM of old asserted that after the sun had dipped lu the west ern ocean at sunset (I hi! Iberians and other ancient nations actually Imagined that llioy could hear the hissing of the waters when tho glowing globe was plunged therein) he was seized by Vul can and placed In n golden goblet. This strange craft, with Its astonishing cargo, navigated the ocean by a north erly course so as to reach tho east again In time for sunrise the follow ing morning. Among tho more sober physicists of old. as related by Aristotle, It was be lieved that In some manner the sun was conveyed by night across the northern regions and that darkness was duo to mountains which screened off the sunbeams during the voyage. Anticipation. Lieutenant Shackleton tells bow when In the antarctic wastes he and Ills companions sustained their spirits and their bodies as well wbeu sup plies had to be cut down to a mini mum by dwelling upon the glorious eating they would have on returning to headquarters. The value of such mental sustenance has long been rec ognized by up to date commanders. There was the German officer in the war of 1S70 who sustained the flag ging spirits nnd weary legs of his men by shouting: "There Is a brewery In side that town I Let us get there be fore anybody else!" History relates that the men did get there with re markable speed. Equally shrewd wag that Japanese commander lu the Man churtan war who, seeing his men ex hausted with thirst and knowing full well the wonderful properties of pickled plums, cried out. "Two miles from here there Is a forest of plums." Tho uu tlcipated plums went far to relieve their parched mouths. Laughter Saved the Ship. Humor has been credited with the saving of many things, but perhaps never before has a ship been saved by Its Judicious application. In a great storm many years ago a ship's crew were all at prayers wbeu 0 boy burst Into a lit of violent laugliter. Ueing reproved for his III timed mirth and asked the reason for It. he said, "Why, I was laughing to think what a hiss ing the boatswain's 'red nose will make when it comes lu contact with the wa ter." This ludicrous remark set the crew laughing. Inspired them with new spirits, and by a great exertion they brought the vessel safely Into port Liverpool I'os. Correct Styles and Pleasing Patterns.
