The spring mounting on a Case engine is not only theoretically correct, but has proven thoroughly efficient on engines doing all kinds of road and contract work and plowing. The tractibility of one of these engines is more than any other engine of the same rated horsepower. The traction wheels of the engines are built-up steel wheels, which take more time to construct than the cast iron wheels, but can be repaired, while cast wheels cannot. This part of the engine is subject to severe usage and their construction should claim the closest attention of purchasers. The Case traction engine is superior in every respect to any other engine for the hill climbing that must be done here. The large wheel base, boiler mountinsr, double gears, more equal distribution of weight on front and rear axles and their great power make the Case the premier puller up hill or on the level and over all conditions of roads. The 10x10 inch cylinder simple traction engine is rated at 20 horsepower and is the one in more general use than any other size or make ot traction engine. This engine has a wide range of uses such as grading, pulling stumps, saw-milling and well-dnllmg. It sells for ,1110 CUglilC J.IO.O Oi YVll 1,700 E I ffl (o If y IP k -w - PROPER CARE CF THE INSANE. City of Gheel, In Holland, Takes Care of These Unfortunates as Its Guests. One of the most remarkable places In Europe, of which no tourist on pleasure bent ever takes notice, la the "City of the Insane," by which name Gheel, near Antwerp, bus been known for generations. About 1,500 men ami women, ulllleted with Insan ity in all ita forma, live there, and nave a happy being as the "guests" of the inhabitants, who know by experi ence how to treat tho unfortunate ones. In the streets, in the places of amusement, the cafes and workshops these patients may be found, ami no-' where Is there the remotest sugges- tion of restraint apparent. The board ' ranges from '240 to -,400 marks a year, j and, no matter how small the amount may be, the patient Is always the favored member of the family, lie ' has the first right to the most com- fortablo chair, and the head of the i table belongs to him. Me receives the most attention, and this he learns ; to appreciate and to endeavor to ! maintain by living down his illness j Een the children know how to treat ; the demented people. The dangerous ; oi.es are sent to nnothor sett lenient j and to Institutions, it is wonderful ' how considerate careful and kind the ! slmnlo neonle are toward theii ' charges, and a peep into the conimun Ity would probably terrify physicians who had never heard of and could not appreciate the good which is being tloDe in this "City of the Insane." Fear of Microbes. Microbes are agent of disease and death. When they were discovered an when their character was exposed science made a big step forward. Mi crobes taught men not only how U cure disease, but bow to avoid and even how to prevent it. Hut into lif they brought a new terror! Now tin question Is how to guard against thii terror. For all fairly healtny personi there is just one thing to do. Ignort the existence of microbes altogether! Don't even stop to think of them, sav In emergencies, which, to the layman seldom arrive. Human beings havi no reason to be In continual fear ot microbes. The way to be Immuni from their influence Is by not carinf. a snap of the finger about them, and by observing tho ordinary rules o! wholesome living. Kat and sleep reg ularly. Take exercise. Keep in frest air. And devote n few minutes enck 1nv to deep breathing. Microbes hat healthy people as the devil hates holj I water. NEVER A MAN TO GE ENVIED. Philadelphia Writer's Idea cf Status to Be Accorded Bachelor in Society. The bachelor is punished already, not only in losing the Joys of a home, but being an object of contumely. So long as bachelors are willing to put up with all the losses they sustain in celibacy far be it trcni the majesty of the law to impose further penalties. It was Cicero or a man of bis day who remarked that it was onerous for a man to get along with a wife, but im possible to pet alons without one. The bachelor is not a man only n more or less imitation of one sometimes a verv noor ovo. lk thinks he has a good tlrno in rst-aiiins ;'.ll the major responsibilities of life, but .e is de ceiving no one but himseli. As an example and a warn'.!:: he bus h'.s uses in society. As an Individual he Is apt to find that he ia cat in;; only annles of Sodom. The man who de- Guarding Against Earthquakes. All great crises have stimulated the crei.tive faculty of mankind, and earthquakes have, of course, earned a f-.il' share of attention. The most original notion In this connection was put forth by a genius who quite satis lied 1 imself that if houses were pro vided with wheels or rollers they would move about backwards and for wards during an earthquake and es cape disaster. ' Loquacious Britons. As a nation and as lndivdtials we are puttering from acute verbosity, Everybody talks too much, says far more than is necessary, and a great deal more than is wise.

They looked nt him earnestly, fot while lie wore no beard he appeared '.o be somewhat past his first youth nt .east. "How old are you?" they a.iked hlrr. presently. "I am 20." he said.

I will confess that I attach much more importune;.' to men's theoretical arguments than to their practical pro posals. I attach mure Importance to whr.t Is said than to what Is done; what Is said generally lasts much longer Hnd has much more influence. I can imagine no change worse Tor public life than that which sonie prigs advocate, that debate sho'tid be cur- tailed. A man's arguments show what ; ho Ib really tip to. Until you have heard the defense of a proposal you j do not really know even the proposal. Thus, for instance, if a man eayb to , me, "THSte this temperance drink." I j have merely doubt, slightly tinged with j distaste. Hut ir he says, "Taste It, be- j ; cause your wife would make a charm- j ; ing widow," then I decide. I would j ' be openly moved In my choice of an institutfon. not by its immediate pro posals for practice, but very much by Its Incidental, even its accidental, al ' lus'.on to Ideals.
