experimented with speed boat and
fast water sleds.
Short Service at Home.
First there were short services at
the hillside homestead, attended only
by those who had been very clo to
Dr. Bell at work or play. When
these were ended, bronzed workmen
employed on the estate lifted to their
shoulder his casket which had been
built in Dr. Bell's workshops out of
rugged pine, and carried it to his
coach, which led .the cortege up to
the very highest tip of the mountain.
There, his aix-foot frame silhouet
ted against the twilight sky, stood the
village parson, Rev. John MacKin
non of the Greenwood Presbyterian
church of Baddeck. Clustered about
him down the slopes of the moun
tain were the Nova Scotians and a
few who had come from the United
States for the burial, one of them.

Then as the day departed and

Site for $10,000,000 Assem
bly Factory Purchased on
Outskirts of Chicago.
Hammond, Ind., Aug. S. It was
learned here that Henry Ford had
bought 60 acrs of land in Heges
wieh, III., as a site for a $10,000,000
assembly plant located at One Hun
dred and Thjrty-fourth street and
Torrance avenue. The purchase price
is said to be $1.000,qp0. The tract is
on the Calumet river just below the
forks which is at present the limit of
deep water navigation. The channel
will probably have to be deepened
for one-half or three-quarters of a
mile and a turning basin provided.
This will make it possible to ship the
automobile parts from the Detroit
factory by boat and assemble them
right in the heait of one of the
greatest distributing centers. The
best of rail facilities are at hand.
Torrance avenue at present does
not cross the river, but the commis
sioners of Cook county have already
let the contracts for construction of
one of the largest draw bridges in
the country at this point.

republican leader, sent a wreath with
a ! card bearing the inscription
"From Eamon de Valera.". The
funeral procession, which included
32 members of the clergy, filed past

republican prisoners could see.

tion in the district court of Taylor

guardian for her parents, John and
Julia Kinksley, each of whom is 85.

that the yearly rent of $600 on the
farm has not been collected for a

Federal Reserve Bank
I Building Urged for Omaha
'Washington. Aug. 5. (Special
Telegram.) Senator Hitchcock has
introduced a resolution authoriring
the Federal Reserve bank at St.
Louis to build a handsome bank
structure in Omaha. The cost of the
building, it is estimated, will be in
the neighborhood of from $500,000 to
$800,000. The law now prescribes that
no buildings shall be erected costing
more than $250,000 without consent
of congress.

San Jose, 'Cat, Aug. 5. John
Black, famouf golfer, who ap
proached to within one stroke of the
national title at the recent cham
pionship matches in Chicago, faced

that it would assure him of retaining

known wherever golf is played.
Black sustained a brain concussion
and seven fracturers of the shoulder
and ribs in an automobile accident

HIS T. B. PILGRIMAGES
A few years hack we published the
itory of an Indiana man who, having
eoniumption, chatcd the cure like a
ihuitlecock between Indiana and the
wet in a very (ooliih way.
lie uied up all hit own fundi, all
the fund he could get hii hand on,
threw away whatever chance to get
well he had, possibly spread infec
tion widely, harmed himself and a
good many other people, and all for
the want .of tome common ene.
Here i a companion tory which
coniei from the Detroit health de
partment. A man entered the eoniumption
ward in the Herman Keefer hospital
in 1918. He left the institution with,
out permission after having been
there only a few months.
He had an idea he would get wen
if he could go west.
He solicited fund for that pur
pose. Since that time he hi re
peatedly solicited funds for the pur
Dose of soinff somewhere. He is
armed with a letter from a physician,
who itate that the Dearer has con
sumption and will go west to live
if given financial assistance.
He must tell a fine story, for this
is the record of his travels on col
lected money:
To Colorado and return, three
times.
Illinois and return, three time.
To Minnesota, once.
To Iowa, once. '
In addition he has been in various
Detroit tuberculosis sanitaria a total
of about ten different times.
Vaughan learns that for a time at
least this man collected . $160 a
month for several months from busi
ness men.
From the standpoint of the eiven
this record is highly credible to the
human sympathy of the business
men, but not to their knowledge.
judgment, and common sense.
From the standpoint of the collec
tor, the record shows salesmanship
of a high order, but that is all that
can be said for it.
If .the Colorado climate offered
him anything, he should have stayed
there. Whatever advantage there is
in climate, it is only for those who
settle down, become contented and
happy, and fit in.
If the sanitaria in Detroit were the
place for him he ought to have
stayed there.
Knocking around Minnesota. 111!
nois and Iowa, chasing a cure, was
about the last word in foolishness.
How much consumption he spread
as he traveled around there is no
way of knowing.
The amount of money he has
wasted could have saved the lives of
several people had it been wisely
used.
"Off again, on again, Finegan," is
not a policy that cures consumption.
Unwise giving in this case did no
good. In fact, it did harm.
Ants Come After Food.
Mrs. E. D. writes: "Will you tell
me a good remedy for my room? It
is very damp. My bed and bedding
smell moldy and damp. I keep my
house clean, but it is very annoying
with this damp odor at night. I air
my blankets and feather bed as much
as possible.
"My bedrooms are set off from
the outside of the house and per
haps that is the reason. In summer
I am also troubled with centerpedes
and ants. I live in the basement of a
private brick house. Get plenty of
sun and air."
REPLY.
Nothing equals- sunlight and air. If
you have plenty of these disinfec
tants, you need nothing else.
Ants come in after food. Cleanli
ness is an effective anti-ant measure.
Write to the bureau of entomology,
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. C, for recent bulletins on
control of ants.
What you call "centerpedes come
into your house in search of insects.
Thev catch and eat ants, flies and
other insects. -
If you get rid of all otner insecw,
the many-legged boys will quit you.

Milk Quaffing Hazards.
Mrs. K. writes: "Please let me
know if it is safe to drink milk.
"I hear the milk is not pure.
REPLY.
If you live in a city in which the
milk is pasteurized under good su
pervision it is safe to drink it; other
wise, drinking milk is somewhat
hazardous.

B. I. writes: "Will you kindly ad

in any way beneficial and in what

Yes. In the treatment' of tuber

skin and glands.
