One Week's Demonstration of
Free Sewing Machines.
Join the first club. $5 down and SI per week.
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.

OH. DIXON DEFENDS
DAIRY FARMERS
Declares Milk Often Becomes Pol
luted 'After Leaving Their
Hands on Way to Con
sumer. 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."
"Well," iiiiswereij Mrs. Cumrox con
solingly, "i ho xociiil nnd educational
facilities In those dins must have been
rather crude, but I don't bollere In
heredity."-Washington Star.

ing off our line."

course'-Excbunge.

LINCOLN'S LESSON.
The Way Hs Learned to Tell When
Thing Is Proved.
Abraham Lincoln was once asked
how he uciiiircd his wonderful logical
powers and his ncutencss In analysis.
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."

THE SETTING SUN.
When Vulcan Sailed It Round the
Ocean So It Could Rise Again.
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.
