GOOD NEWS
Many McCook Readers Have Heard It
and Profited Thereby
Good news travels fast and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in Mc
Cook are glad to learn that prompt
relief is within their reach Many a
lame weak and aching back is bad no
more thanks to Doans Kidney Fills
People from every atate in the Union
are telling the good news of their ex
perience with the old Quaker remedy
Here is an example worth reading
H G Erret living in Red Cloud
Neb says My back ached and wjs
very lame for a long time On one oc
casion I was unable to do any work for
over a month during which time I doc
tored continually without finding re
lief When I learned about Doans
Kidney Pills I obtained a supply and
after taking the contents of the first
box was practically cured I am now
able to do any kind of work without
having any trouble with my back or
kidneys
Plenty more proof like this from Mc

children as it is mild pleasant and
effective and is a splendid spring medi

LONG FELT WANT
A Pica For a Graduated Standard of
iVIisconduct
What is really wanted ut the present
time Is u stauihird of misconduct We
are constantly doing things iu doubt
us if we hadnt a right to do them
The confusion caused by people do
ing things which in their circumstances
we had no right to expect is the prin
cipal cause of our troubles It ought
to be definitely settled for example
that any millionaire who has say
over a hundred millions will there
after lead an honest life If he has
only fifty millions Ids life should be
semi honest and if he has only a paltry
ten millions then it ought to be con
ceded that he can loot a few railroads
or so until he gets on his feet
Up to say ten thousand a year no
man can afford to be dishonest lie
ought to get up in the cars and give
his seat to women under thirty live at
least and of course lie will not take
the chance of robbing any safe From
ten thousand up to a hundred thou
sand he can engage in little dishonest
fliers by making one of a pool or put
ting through a land deal or so for
variety
When he gets fifty millions or more
together however every man ought
to ask himself plainly the question
whether from now 6n he ought not to
be a philanthropist Doesnt he owe
this to his fellow men Life

Cheering Lights That Warn and
Guide the Mariner
A BLAZE OF KEROSENE OIL
The Wonderful Lamps and Lenses
That Produce the Brilliant and Far
reaching Flame Why Electricity Js
Not Used In Lighthouses
The goal toward which the light
house board of this country s striving
Is a continuous chain of lights com
pletely encircling the United States
and possessions and in the case of riv
ers and inland seas bounding the wa
ters on all sides so that a ship may
never leave the area of a light thrown
by one lighthouse before entering the
circle of the light of another As fast
as congress will appropriate the money
the gaps are being filled
But what makes the light When
ihe curious Inquirer is told kerosene
he naturally wonders why his own
student lamp does not give a better
light if the same oil in the lighthouse
sends its beam from five to twenty live
miles
Various methods of lighting were in
use until 3S40 when a new system
was introduced of employing nearly
true paraboloid reflectors and better
glass lenses In some cases these re
flectors gave a light which is not sur J
passed even today except when han
dled with intelligent care In 1So2
when the present lighthouse board was
instituted the Fresual system of len
ticular glasses was introduced from
which something nature plainly points I France and still remains
The first
out to him by giving him a tendency cost is great but by the saving of oil
and propensity to it
I look upon common sense to be to
the mind what conscience is to the
heart the faithful and constant moni
tor of what is right or wrong And I
am convinced that no man commits
either a crime or a folly but against
the manifest and sensible representa
tions of the one or the other
Every man finds in himself either
from nature or education for they are
hard to distinguish a peculiar bent
and disposition to some particular
character and his straggling against
It is the fruitless and endless labor of
Sisyphus Let him follow and culti
vate that vocation he will succeed in
it and be considerable in one way at
least whereas if he departs from it he
will at best be inconsiderable proba
bly ridiculous Lord Chesterfield
The Oyster Crab
Some of the most remarkable crabs
In the world live at the expense of
other animals They are crustacean
tramps and have no shame in sustain
ing existence at other animals cost
One of these marine tramps is a little
fellow that makes its home with the
living oyster In fact it dwells in the
oysters shell and feeds on whatever
is left over from the mollusks dinners
Oddly enough however it is only the
female that has this habit of board
ing out The male crab has no per
manent home but spends its time
swimming about at the surface of the
water Oyster crabs sometimes are
big enough to have an arm stretch of
an inch Epicures consider them very
good to eat Sometimes they are cook
ed separately and occasionally they
are pickled Crabs of nearly allied spe
cies somewhat bigger are found in
the shells of mussels and scallops In
this case again only the female is a
parasite
Scottish Caution
Certainly the cautious Scot spirit
pervaded the opinions of the Scottish
architect who was called upon to erect
a building in England upon the long
lease system so common with Angli
can proprietors but quite new to our
friend When he found the proposal
was to build upon the tenure of 009
years he quietly suggested Could ye
no male it a thousand Nine hundred
and ninety nine years 11 be slippin
awa
But of all the cautious and careful
answers we ever heard of was one
given by a carpenter to an old lady in
Glasgow for whom he was working
and the anecdote is well authenticat
ed She had offered him a dram and
asked him whether he would have it
then or wait till his work was done
Indeed mem he said theres been
sic a power o sudden deaths lately
that Ill just tak it now Reminis
cences of Dean Ramsay
Gallantry
At a school in Aberdeen a teacher
was examining her class on the Bible
the lesson being a part of Genesis
The teacher asked her class Why did
the serpent tempt Eve instead of
Adam
For some time there was silence but
at length a little boy held up his hand
and replied Please mum cause its
ladies first Tit Bits
over the rellector system this is soon
reduced With any reasonable care a
fine light always results and it is im
possible for a keeper to maintain a
poor light with this apparatus without
flagrant disobedience of instructions
Even with such an apparatus no
common lamp can supply the light
First order lamps have five wicks one
inside the otuer and are fed with oil
by a pump and pipe system The oil
is fed to the wicks so that it reaches
the ends where the flame is in the
right time and in the right quantity
It is difficult to look at it so intense
is the light In the lenses rather than
in the lamp is the secret for they pick
up and utilize nearly all the rays of
light which ordinarily go astray The
Fresnel apparatus collects almost all
of this waste light and reflects and
refracts it out in one great broad
beam of light parallel to the surface
of the sea where it is needed
The flames which come from the
lamps are largely transparent So of
course are all other similar flames If
flames were not transparent there
could be no advantage in having one
flame inside another and a third inside
the first two etc The lights from
the inner flames could not get out and
would do no good
In some lighthouses usually for
range light purposes the light is nil
to be concentrated in one beam This
is done by concentric rings of prisms
and a central bullseye and a reflector
Vessels getting such a light in range
either by itself or with another light
and running down the beam are safe
from obstructions which may be near
by the range lights or beams of light
marking out the channel to be fol
lowed
It is frequently asked of light keep
ers why electricity is not used in
place of mineral oil An electric light
is expensive to install and difficult and
expensive to maintain There is al
ways difficulty in keeping the arc ex
actly iu the focal point of the lenses
the carbons never burning twice alike
and constant watching being neces
sary Failure to have the light source
exactly in the focal point of the lens
results in sending the light rays up or
down instead of straight out where
they are wanted Electricity while
superior in penetrative power in a
fog has no advantage over a power
ful oil lantern in clear weather Min
eral oil colza oil or lard oil lights of
the first order could be seen a hun
dred miles were it not for the curva
ture ot tue cartli and as long as tue
light is visible long before the coast
is all purposes are served
It is only within recent years that
mineral oil has been in use Lard oil
succeeded colza oil and was used ex
clusively up to 1SS0 and with mineral
oil up to 1SS0 Since the latter year
mineral oil has been used entirely ex
cept where electricity has been experi
mented with or coal or acetylene gas
So far coal oH for power efficiency
cleanliness ease of operation and
cheapness holds its own against all
other means of light making
Electricity if it can be successfully
installed is the best light but through
expense of maintenance and in the in
ability to get skilled attendants for
such a light for the price set on keep
ers services it makes slow headway
The traveler who cruises up the
coasts and who sinks one light before
picking up -another must know that
somewhere in the dark circle is a spot
picked for the foundation of a light
which will be erected as soon as funds
and time allow Scientific American
Climate and Weather
One day at school small Lola was
called upon to explain the difference
between climate and weather
Climate answered the little miss
is what we have with us all the time
but weather only lasts a few days
