How One Woman Quit Medicine
While a coffee user my stomach
troubled me for years says a lady of
Columbus O and I had to take medi
cine all the time I had what I thought
was the best stomach medicine I could
get had to keep getting it filled all
the time at 40 cents a bottle I did
not know what the cause of my trou
ble was but just dragged along from
day to day suffering and taking medi
cine all the time
About six months ago I quit tea
and coffee and began drinking Postum
and I have not had my prescription
filled since which is a great surprise
to me for it proves that coffee was the
cause of all my trouble although I nev
er suspected it
When my friends ask me how I
feel since I have been taking Postum
I say To tell the truth I dont feel
at all only that I get hungry and eat
everything I want and lots of it and it
never hurts me and I am happy and
well and contented all the time
I could not get my family to drink
Postum for a while until I mixed it in
a little coffee and kept on reducing the
amount of coffee until I got it ail Pos
turn Now they all like it and the
never belch it up like coffee
We all know that Postum Is a sun
shine maker I nna it helps one great
ly for we do not have to think of aches
and pains all the time and can use
our minds for other things Name

Utilizing Coal Dust
There has recently been a mimber
of experiments made to find a fuel
which should be not only much clean
er than coal but which should also
increase tho number of heat units
for a given bulk of material says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger The ele
ments of cost of manufacture and
shipment must also enter into all
these calculations so that what will
meet requirements in one locality i3
totally unfitted for another To pre
vent the waste of the sawdust from
the large mills which are cutting down
our forests a sawdust and petroleum
briquette lias been produced and
other seemingly waste products have
been combined with chemicals to fit
them for use as fuel Thus the im
mense piles of culm dust to be seen
around the mouths of the coal mines
have come In for their share of at
tention One of the newest chemical
combinations which utilizes this ma
terial in large proportion comes from
Kentucky and consists in melting res
in and oil together until they fuse
adding to this while the mass is heat
ed to 150 degrees Fahrenheit diluted
sulphuric acid The resulting com
pound is combined with a mixture of
coal dust and black oxide of mangan
ese which has been heated for about
an hour at a temperature of 200 de
grees This whole mass is then sub
jected to pressure to compress it into
bricks of any desired shape and size
Filler for Fountain Pens
Lyman Fisk of Woodcliffe New
York has invented a convenient de
vice for filling fountain pens There
are two pipes which lead from the
source of supply into the pen one to
carry the ink and the other to feed air
into tne bottle to relieve the vacuum
caused by the removal of the ink As
the air to supply this vacuum is
taken from inside the pen reservoir it
is obvious that when the ink has
risen to a certain height a return flow
of the ink will supplant the movement
of air continuing as long as ink is
pumped from one holder to the other
A Plan for heating Trains
Considerable difficulty has been ex
perienced in heating long trains of
railway cars in Europe owing to the
condensation of the steam and to the
presence of water in the pipes By a
system devised by M Laucrenon and
about to be installed on the Eastern
railway cf France this is obviated by
employing compressed air which is
mixed with the steam and carries
along an- condensed water to suitable
traps The condensed air also en
ables smaller pipes to be used and
where ten or twelve cars were for
merly the limit now twenty or more
can be heated satisfactorily The air
used amounts to about ten per cent
of the steam supply and when a
slight amount is used to raise the
pressure at the portion of the train
near the engine the effect is felt
through the line of pipes In one in
stance where steam was admitted to
the heating system at a pressure of
fifty seven pounds per square inch the
pressure at the end of the train was
but ten pounds Using sufficient air
to make the pressure sixty pounds
per square inch twenty eight and a
half pounds at the end of the train
were obtained which fell to twenty
one and a third pounds after the
steam was admitted to the traps With
trains of unusual length the results
were equally satisfactory
Pepsin in Cheese Making
From experiments made at the New
York Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion at Geneva with pepsin in cheese
making one conclusion drawn is that
it is the pepsin contained in the ren
net that causes the changes noticed in
the ripening process Prof Dean of
the Ontario Agricultural College Dairy
School says that if this be true it has
been suggested that pure pepsin be
used instead of rennet for coagulating
milk in the making of Cheddar cheese
A sample lot of pepsin was got from
Chicago and some cheese have been
made at the Guelph Dairy School
While the coagulation did not appear
to be normal as with rennet the curds
after dipping seemed very nice Prof
Dean says it will be some time before
the cheese can be reported on
Ice Bicycle
All the pleasures of sleighing and
of bicycling might have been combin
ed in a curious freak ice wheel had it
been wholly successful The odd look
ing vehicle which was contrived
years ago was mounted on runners
which were intended to glide over the
ice or snow swiftly and smoothly iike
an ordinary sleigh The motive power
was supplied by an ordinary veloci
pede or bicycle mechanism The revo
lution of the wheel forced a series
of sprockets to dig rapidly into the
snow or ice thus propelling the con
trivance

SILO FOR FIFTEEN COWS
Concrete Structure in Round Form
That Will Give Satisfaction
T E Will you please give me
plan of octagonal silo or of the one
you consider the best for supplying
fifteen cows from Nov 1 to May 15
feeding thirty live pounds per day to
eacli animal
Of the different kinds of silos In
use the round form gives the best
satisfaction Silos used to be built
square with the corners cut off and
also octagonal but of late nearly all
are built round whether of wood or
concrete
To build a round concrete silo is
very simple after the moulds are set
The moulds consist of two circles
one for the inside and one for tho
outside
Xz Q Hhffl
Form for Building Round Concrete
Silo
A inch boards making form 13 half
inch bolts C concrete wall D bolt vuh
four nuts E band iron in Ade and
three eijjhtb inch thick
and each circle is divided into four
sections see plan The sections
consist of six inch boards two feet and
a half long bolted with small bolts
on two bands of 2 inch iron the
top band is within four inches of top
of the boards and the other two four
inches from bottom The ends of the
band iron should turn out where they
join each ether in order that they may
bo bolted together The bolts should
have a continuous thread cut on them
and four nuts on each two between
the band iron and one on each end of
the bolts These nuts are to tighten
or loosen the form when desired
There must also be half inch bolts
put through the wall three in the
bottom and three in the top of each
section and through the band iron
When the form is raised these bolts
are taken out and the form loosened
by slacking the nuts on the bolts
where the sections join
At the joints where the sections
meet there must be one eighth inch
plate of iron twelve inches wide
screwed on to the form letting the
ether side lap under the form this
holds the concrete to its place and al
lows the form to loosen or tighten as
desired
To raise the form stand four up
rights on the inside of the silo where
the sections meet and about six or
seven feet above the wall nail on a
plank allowing the plank to project
over the wall fasten a small pair of
blocks to the ends of these planks
There must be four of these planks
so as to raise the form up on all
sides alike Take a short whiffletree
and fasten the hooks to both the out
er and inner form and the lower block
to this whiffletree A man at each
rope will raise the form easily then
tighten up the bolts again If care be
taken any one can build a silo as true
and smooth as a crock
There are about fifty feet of unset
tled ensilage or forty feet of well set
tled ensilage in a ton therefore it
would require a silo ten feet in diame
ter and thirty feet high to supply your
cattle feeding them thirty five pounds
per day for the housing season
Inflammation of the Lungs
J H N Hens kept in a rather cold
house and fed oats mangles and but
termilk are rapidly dying off The
lungs of a number cf the birds which
died were filled with blood and frothy
matter
Ans The hens evidently died from
inflammation of the lungs due proba
bly to their cold and draughty house
Hens can stand a fairly cold house
during the day provided they take
plenty of exercise at scratching for
their feed in deep litter They should
however hae a fairly warm place to
roost A poultry house to be health
ful should be dry and draughtproof it
shoud receive abundance of sunlight
and be kept clean Without these
conditions it is difficult to maintain
the flock in a healthy condition
Weasel in a Poultry House
Mrs M I nave lost a number of
fowls through their blood being sucked
during the night by some animal
which leaves no track or trail I have
set traps and shut a cat in with the
hens but the loss continues even in
the presence of these precautions The
poultry house is floored Please tell me
how to get rid of the depredator
Ans It is probable that the enemy
is a weasel a blood sucking animal
that can travel through a very small
opening and is very difficult to entrap
In addition to the precautionary
measures which have been adopted it
would be well to tack very fine mesh
wire poultry netting over all holes
which would admit even a large
mouse

Pretty Weddings
Color effect is greatly studied nowa
days at wedding ceremonies and the
result is often delightful Red and
white weddings have been much in
vogue during the dull winter months
with desirable result and the little
pages with bright hued cloaks slung
over the shoulder or tiny bride
maidens in mob caps flowered frocks
and muslin aprons scattering pink
and red roses nave lent a charming
picturesqueness to the bride and her
surroundings
Considering the number of fashion
able weddings which have taken place
recently the variety introduced into
the functions has been little short of
surprising One of the prettiest re
sults was achieved at a recent cere
mony when the snowy gowned bride
was accompanied by a train of brides
maids attired in every shade of pink
ranging from the most delicate wild
rose tone to that of the deepest crim

Pale Tints to Have Vogue
As one notes carefully the various
new fabrics and modes in spring dis
plays it becomes a noticeable fact that
the all white fad is being pressed hard
for first place by the beautiful pale
tints now so artistically presented in
dainty stuffs for miladis inspection
In the new transparent cottons in the
pineapple cloths and the very fine ba
tiste and linens the delicate pinks and
blues greens and lavenders are most
daintily wrought or printed and while
of course the all white gown will be a
favorite in the summer girls ward
robe it will not monopolize her fancy
as it did last summer
Handsome Street Gown
A handsome street gown is of
mauve cloth A hip voice formed of
stitched bands of cloth fits snugly and
fastens with gold buttons a trifle to
the left The bodice is fashioned
after the same idea the stitched
straps giving a short jacket effect
closing on the side to correspond with
skirt dpcoration The sleeves are
similarly treated and the large loose
puff which falls from elbow is at
tached to a narrow cuff The collar is
also made of stitched straps and gold
en brown satin the latter being used
for the deep girdle and scarf which is
finished with brown silk fringe
Blouse Problems
The difficulties of the blouse prob
lem are greater than they used to be
for unless of a ery smart order Ave
do not seem anxious to have much in
the way of collars The hour of the
transparent yoke and decollete neck
for day wear is happily over though
there are still a few women who per
sist in showing favor to this most in
congruous fashion High collars are
de rigeur now and even our capes and
ruffles have softening plisso effects
brought up high at the back of tho
neck held in place by a buckle they
are sometimes even finished with a
wide Medici collar
For Young Girls
With one white and one colored
evening gown a girl may go to any
number of dances through a season
and look smartly gowned for chang
ing the trimming of the waist with
lace bertha chiffon fichu or different
artificial flowers makes the gown look
like new each time The present fash
ion of wide belts of different colors
helps immensely too in changing the
appearance of a gown a pale blue
belt instead of pink and blue flowers
on the waist and a lace bertha instead
of a fichu work wonders Harpers

Roses for Hat Trimmings
A good ostrich fall makes a good
flower spring is an old saying with
milliners and the spring of 1901 will
bear out the truth of this statement
Roses promise to take the lead The
tiny button variety in single and dou
ble garlands edge the brims encircle
the crowns or otherwise trim the hats
Medium size roses are used as garni
ture in single or double wreaths and
large roses are often used singly
When the large flower is employed
tiny green leaves bordering the brims
make a charming effect
Dainty Maids Stocks
A pretty device for keeping the
twentieth century girls white stocks
and starched collars immaculate when
not encircling her fair throat is made
of a round basket Line Aith silk of
delicate hue with an interlining of
wadding sprinkled with sachet pow
der A circular piece of pasteboard
covered and wadded serves for a lid
and also as a convenient resting place
for the fancy pins worn at the front
and back of the stock collars
C Id Fashioned Fancy Revived
An old fashioned fancy which lias
been revived again is the darned net
one A pretty table covfcr was made
from a piece of net a yard square A
nanow hem was turned up all around
the edge and covered with a fiat laca
braid Inside the hem was a simple
darned border
Cushions of darned net are also
popular as are center pieces doilies
piano scarfs curtains and portierres
Smart Little Spring Coats
The spring coats are broadcloth or
velveteen the long plain sacque
style single breasted and without col
lars And the hats are moderately
low round corners and wide brims
and are often gardens of tiny flowers
or fields of waving ribbon loops Black
chip will be much worn with all colors
of dresses and for all occasions Sail
ors have the wide ur curving brim
and are most often of fine straw
Styles in Sleeves
The sleeve made of a thin material
and differing from that of the gown
is seen in the latest imported models
This is sometimes the full sleeve of
lace in a silk or crepe gown Again
it may be of net spangled or plain
and of an entirely different color from
that of the rest of the costume Hang
ing sleeves of chiffon inside others of
silk are very stylish and effective for
ball costumes
Dainty Unlined Waists
Very dainty waists of pleated chiffon
or erepe de chine are made in the un
lined style The pleating is set into a
deep yoke which falls well over the
top of the shculder Bodices of chiffon
also have the pleated part falling
loose in bolero style and the lower
part of plain chiffon which is almost
hidden by the frill
Skirts of Many Patterns
Skirts are of many patterns Some
are smooth fitting round the hips but
into others creeps the Victorian full
ness Some of these full skirts have
the Avidth held in by plaits to the
depth of a hip yoke Some ha e a flat
yoke and front panel set in the full
ness starting on the sides at the lower
edge of the yoke
A Novel Pen Rack
A novel pen rack suited for a hand
some library table in a house lighted
by electricity is in the shape of a low
trough of sienna colored majolica At
the back of the trough on its edge
are seated two blinking oavIs with
luminous eyes the light being sup
plied by hidden electric bulbs
Shaped and Stitched Bands
Shaped and stitched bands of the
material make a simple but pretty fin
ish for an afternoon suit They out
line fronts cuffs and cape of the
bolero and the edges of the skirt and
of all flounces
Monster Belt Pins
Some of the new belt pins show
monsters and grotesque heads sug
gestive of the Japanese bronzes The
drawing is carried out in gold and
some color outlined with black or
gold

Physicians Use Carrier Pigeons
Country Physicians in many in
stances have ad pted the use of
pigeons as messengers A physician
raises a left of carriers and when he
visits a patient four or five miles away
he carries with him a basket contain
ing one of his bins If dangerous
symptoms arise -in the night or the
following day the pigeon is released
Avith a message Some physicians
Avith long country routes carry half
a dozen or more of these pigeons on
their rounds and leave one at each
place A daily report of tho different
cases can thus be obtained by pigeon
service This service has also been
extended on large Western farms
Some farmers receive daily reports of
the markets from the city in this way
when there are no telephone or tele
graph Avires to send the messages
All that is required is a trip to the
city once a fortnight to carry back
the birds and some one in the city
to Avrite the reports and release the
pigeons
