wae The Story Whether Hand Sapolio got a more enthusiastic welcome in homes where Sapolio was an old and tried friend, or where it was a stranger, is a ques- tion. Where women had come to rely oa Sapolio for rapid, thorough clean- ing in every part of the house except the laundry, they commenced without Joss of time, to avail of this new prize. Grubby little hands, and stained, work- worn older ones, whitened, softened, and smoothed out as if by magic, cal- lous spots disappeared, and com- plexions cleared. Children ceased their strenuous objections to the scriub- bing up process, because it became a pleasure. It freshened up the hands aiter dish-washing, removing the most disagreeable feature of that necessary task, It was found to keep delicate baby skins from chafing better than salve or powder, and the crowning note in the song of delight came when an adult member of the family used it in a full bath, and realized that.a Turkish Bath at a cost of one dollar was outdone by a small fraction of the little, ten-cent, velvety cake. But, strange though it may seem, there were people who had not learned to prize Sapolio. To these the adver- tising of Hand Sapolio came as 4 surprise.

Finally a bold shopper carried home a cake. Does it look like kit- chen Sapolio? No one is sure, ‘anda cake of that is bought, and comparison made. Behold a family using both the Sapolios for every conceivable- pur- pose, and comparing notes! After easily and quickly cleansing a greasy pan with Sapolio, Jane thought the other would be gritty, aud was aston- ished at the smooth, dainty lather. WHEN HIS WIFE CAME HOME. Saw Husband Bid Farewell to Bache: | lorhood. The Harlem resident emerged from the city hall subway exit. He was plainly dejected. “Why, hello, Jimson,” cried a com- rad of the night before. “You look as blue as an undertaker at a health re- sort. Cheer up. I feel just as sick as you this morning.” ‘Oh, it isn’t that,” groaned the de- jeefed man. “But you were the life and soul of our jolly party last night. You’ even insisted on waltzing with the dignified head waiter.” ¥ “J remember.” “Then we took a hack to your house and we all cheered when you got up on your front steps and made a neat lit- tle speech to the effect that your wife would return from the mountains on the morrow, and you were glad to let loose’ at least once before you settled down. It was a large night.” “Bah! My wife returned a day earlier and was in the window watch- ing my performance. Please kick me down these subway steps and back up again, wifl you?”—New York Globe. -Acetylene Gas. All country people will be interest- ed in reading about it in another part of this paper. Easy.

Then began the excitement of adven+ ture; what would the new soap NOT do? A girl tried a shampoo. Her hair, pretty, soft and silky ‘went up”” perfectly, with none of the unmanage- ableness that generally exists for a full week after the usual process. A man used the delightful lather for shaving, and felt no need for cold cream after- wards. A pimply fate was treated to a daily bath- ing with the full suds, and promptly be- cameclear. Tartar on the teeth yielded to it, and WHY TAKE DAINTY CARE of your mouth and neglect your pores, the myriad mouths of your skin? Hanp Saporio does not gloss them over, or chemically dissolve their health-giving oils, yet clears them thoroughly by a method of its own, tend- wards hada ency to- hardening of the skin regained . their natural condi- tion, till another family had joined the chorus of friendly acclaim. And so it is everywhere, those who know the «‘elder brother’’ welcome the acw- comer, for the sake of the first known, and those who meet both for the firsi time are plunged into a whimsicai worry as to which they could better spare if they had to make a choice. TRY HAND SAPOLIO. Its steady use will keep the hands of any busy woman as white, un- tanned and pretty as if she was under the constant care of a city manicure. Itis truly ‘The Dainty ‘Woman’s Friend,” in the suburbs or on the farm, Those ugly dark brown streaks on the neck, arising from tight collars, and the line where the sunburn stops, can be wiped out by the velvety lather Hanp Sarorio. It is, indeed, “The Dainty Woman's Friend." ‘Coming Events. Benedict is a New Haven man, who has been eight times the father of a bouncing bounder. In the outskirts of the university city is a little town among the hills named prospect, and last year four of the children were sent there for the summer. One day Benedict and his wife en- tertained at dinner a*new acquaint- ance, Professor 8. The professor is a bachelor, and, like many scholarly men, ill at ease in society. “What a fine little family of children you have,” he began with an admiring glance at the four stay-at-homes. “Yes, indeed,” replied Benedict, proudly, “and we have four more in Prospect.” The professor blushed his astonish- ment.—Lippincott’s. This is the season when Mr. Boy seriously thinks of bathing in the wa- ter cooler. The man who delights in giving faithful wounds does not thereby | prove himself a friend. THIN BLOOD—WEAK NERVES One Follows the Other, but Dr. Wii- liams’ Pink Pills Quickly Cure Both. The steady use of a particular set of muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which produces faulty or difficult motio: trembling, cramps and even paraly Writers, telegraphers, tailors.and seam: | stresses are among the classes most threatened in this way with the loss oj their power to earn a living. The fol- lowing instance shows that nerve power may be recovered after it seems entirely lost, ifthe right means are taken. Mrs, O. S. Blacksten, of No. 584 North Bow- man street, Mausfield, Ohio, says: “For years wy hands would become so numb at times that I would drop anything I attempted to lift. Later they became so bad that I could not sew any longer, and at last I could scarcely do anything at all with my hands. At night the pricking sensations would come on worse than ever, and my hands and arms would pain so that E dreaded to go to bed. My family doctor gave we some nerve tablets. They helped mea little, but only for a short time after I had taken them and if I happened to be without them for a day or two I would be as bad as ever or even worse. Finally I got a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and began to take them. _ “The result was surprising. By the time I had taken the last pill in my first box I could see a gain. anks to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, [am now all right.

It is impossible for this man ever to have a second-best tile—a tile for stormy days and traveling—for no sooner does he bring a new one home than his wife turns the old one into a dainty waste basket confection with a pale blue lin- ing and baby ribbon rosettes. “The lady came downstairs one morning rather early. Her husband still slept. As she passed through the hall she perceived on the table a very shabby hat, while on the rack a hat brilliant and handsome hung. “‘Ahat’? she said,. ‘James has bought a new-tile. Well, it was time. I'll confiscate this shabby old thing.’ “And with it she retired to her sew- ing room. It was the work of a mo- ment there to snip off the brim, tear out the shabby white lining and insert a new lavender one, tack on two laven- der loops for handles, and—— “But loud, hurried, scuffling noises were now to be heard downstairs, and a maid hastened in, breathless, vexed. “Oh, madam,’ she said, ‘the piano tuner is in a dreadful temper. He says he can’t find his silk hat no- wheres. And he left it in the hall, he says” KURDS QUICK TO GIVE BATTLE. Ready Fighting Follows Attempted Theft of Sheep. Col. P. H. H. Massy tells of this battle which he witnessed in the course of his explorations in Asiatic Turkey. The cause of the fight was an attempted theft of sheep. He says: “Some flocks were being driven off], across the Sipkanli Kurds’ border when the usual alarm signals, shots fired and smoke fires kindled at all the villages around, brought clouds of horsemen galloping wildly across in that direction. This did not look very reassuring in the middle of so wild a country, where a human life is never worth that of a good sheep, but we soon perceived, by the yelling Kurds with grinning faces who dashed past us, that to us no harm was in- tended. “We reached the village not far from which the battle was raging to find the flat roofs occupied by all the women. Quite regardless of stray bullets they followed the fluctuating fortunes of their side amid the din of their own shrill tongues, which almost drowned the thundering reports of the Kurdish powder, anything but noiseless or smokeless. “It was soon over. The flocks were triumphantly brought back, together with the bodies of a few dead Kurds and some others wounded. We passed on amid the wailing of the women just widowed in a fight for a few sheep.” Politics Superior to Hunger. City Solicitor Bruce of Cleveland once had an opportunity of realizing the supremacy of politics even over hunger. He was dining one evening at his home when the bell rang. His ser- vant went to the door and returned with the message that a hungry man solicited the wherewithal to curb a ravenous appetite. Impressed by such a strange request he bade the servant to arrange a cold box. The dinner went on. Armed with the necessities of life the servant returned to the waiting man and casually mentioned that Mr. Bruce said to give the food to him. “Who did you say?” asked the man in a tone audible to Mr. Bruce in the dining room. “Tt said Mr. Bruce,” replied the’ ser- vant. “Not Mr. Bruce, the Democrat?” “I think he is a Democrat,” was the servant's answer. “Well,” said the hungry man, throw- ing down the box, “I don’t want this. I wouldn’t take anything from a Demo- erat if I had to starve, and you can tell him so. I am a Republican.”— Cleveland Leader, tn Absence.

But really the latest story on this sub- ject seems.a little “steep.” The story is that a young and love- ly actress declined to take a part ina “curtain-raiser,” and was consequently sued for breach of contract. Her counsel had a brilliant idea. He pointed to the slender figure of the charming defendant, and asked how any manager could be so, brutal. as to | Coles more goods brighter and faster colors than any other dye.

Bind the two in position with a tight-fitting piece of Rubber Hose, Then fill the bowl of the pipe with fine-ground Cal- cium Carbide. Next tie a rag over head of the bowl to keep in the Wy Carbide. ‘ Now put the pipe into a Glass o! Water, as in picture. There you have a complete Gas- ——~ plant for 25 cents. — Touch a match to the Burner— ~~, rete you'll get a beautiful White Gas- 7 ight. 5 e Of course, this is only an experi- ment, but it shows the wonderful sim- blicity of Acetylene Lighting. That very simplicity gave Acetylene Light a setback, at. first. It seemed so simple to turn Calcium Carbide into Gas-light that over 600 different kinds of “tanks” and “Acetylene Machines” were invented, patented, and marketed for the purpose, by about as many different people. . Well, the thing to he expected certainly happened! _ About 530 of these “Acetylene Machines” had been invented and sold by people who knew more about Tinware than they did about Gas-making. The “Calcium Carbide’? was all right all the time, but 530 of the machines for turning it into Gas were all wrong all the time. So. Acetylene Gas “got a bad name,” though it is clear enough now that it never deserved it at any time. It was like selling Woad Stoves to burn Hard Coal in, and then blaming the Coal for not burning. * * * Lots of things happened to grieve the Owners of these 530 makes of alleged “Acetylene Machines.” But very few accidents occurred from them even in ‘the days of rank experiment and dense ignorance, among, “Generator” Makers. Of course, a gun will go off unexpectedly, now and then, if the trigger be pulled by a person who “didn’t know it was loaded.” But, that’s no fault of the Ammunition—is it? Well, finally the Insurance Companies got after. these 530 odd makes of “Acetylene Machines” that wouldn’t, Acetylate, and the Ingirance Board made an investigation of all Generators that were submitted to them. Then, out of the 600 odd “Machines” patented, only about 70 were “permitted” by the Insurance Board to be used. Oh, what a howl was there! By “permitted” I mean that tie Insurance Board was willing that any building should be Insured, with- ake Cheap Country Homes Gas-light ‘ out extra charge, which used any one of these 70 Acetylene Generators it had found safe,.and effective, just as it permitted houses to be piped for City Gas, or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions. Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know whether or not these 70 different makes of Acetylene Generators were absolutely Safe to use. Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Ex- plosion occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Gener- ators they authorize. And, here’s a proof of their good judgment. Though there are now Two Million people using Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four Fires from it in one year, against 8865 Fires from Kerosene and Gasoline. There have also been 4691 Fires from Electricity, 1707 Fires from City Gas, and 520 Fires froin Candles. Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the Sun’s rays, But,—only four Fires from Acetylene. That shows how careful the Insurance Board was in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and in “permitting” only the 70 makes that were above sus- picion, out of the 600 experiments that were once on the market. * * * Well,—the boom in Acetylene Lighting made lower prices possible on the material it is derived from, viz., Calcium Carbide, a material that looks like Granite but acts like Magic. Today, Acetylene Light is a full third cheaper than Kerosene Light, or Gasoline Light, per Candle Power. It is not more than half the price of Electric Light, nor three-fourths that of City Gas. If I-can’t prove these statements to your full satis- faction my name is not “Acetylene Jones.” But Acetylene is more than the safest and cheapest Light of the year 1905. It is also the Whitest Light—the nearest to natural Sunlight in health-giving Blue and Violet rays, and because of this, with its freedom from flicker, it is the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes. It is so much like real Sunlight that it has made plants. eer 24-hours per day in dark cellars where no “ray of twice as fast as light of day-time, unlight could reach them. It made them grow ilar plants that had only the Sun- half the time. That was proven by Cornell University in a three- months’ experiment made this very year. * * * Now, I’ve saved up for the last‘a point more im- portant to you than all the others about Acetylene Light. Tt consumes oniy one-fourth as much of the vital Oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bed-rooms, as cither Kerosene or City Gas-Light consumes. That’s a iremendous difference in a lifetime, mark you—three-fourths of a difference. Because,—Oxygen is Life. And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is a loss that can never be made good again. A 24 Candle-Power Acetylene Light costs you only two-fifths of a cent per hour. That’s about $5.85 per year, if burned every night in the year for four steady hours. A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you a third more, viz.: three-fifths of a cent per hour for Kerosene alone, or $8.75 per year. That’s exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, new wicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of cleaning, filling and trimming daily. I want to prove these figures to you, Reader, if you are a‘house-owner or storekeeper. Tell me how many rooms you've got and I'll tell you what it will cost to light them with brilliant, beautiful, Sanitary, eye-saving Acetylene.
