Research as Science See# It. Research in pure science may in turn be divided into two categories: First, the discovery of original Ideas and new phenomena; and, secondly, the systematic elaboration of ideas already suggested. Investigation of the latter type demands, to be sure, a high quality of Intellect and thoroughly competent training, or it may become worse than useless; but, given these things, its success is mainly dependent on efficient organization and adequate financial support. On the other hand, research of the former type (namely, that leading to the discovery of new ideas) demands not only intellect and training, but also initiative or genius; it can come only from an individual, and from an individual possessing Intuition and insight far beyond those of the aver age man. Because of the extraordinary importance of new ideas, especial emphasis must, therefore, be laid upon finding and supporting brilliant individuals. —From the Report of a Committee of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Hollow In a Boiled Egg. There is an air space in every egg, but we notice it particularly in a boiled one, because the contents have been made solid by cooking and made the hollow space more apparent. This space is a provision of nature so that the chick which grows within the shell may have air to breathe from the time it comes to life until it becomes strong enough to break through the shell to the outside world. To generate life in the egg it is necessary that it be subjected to a certain degree of heat for a period of 21 days. When this is not done the egg remains indefinitely in its raw state. When it is boiled the pocket of air within the shell, which would have been used up by the chick if the egg had been set to hatch, begins to fight for its space, and pushes the boiled contents of the egg back, leaving the hollow space. Improved Trial by Jury. While we do not think that trial oy jury ought to be abolished, or that there is any increasing sentiment in that direction, we do believe that the system should be modified by dispensing with the requirement of unanimous verdicts. This would obviate the element of individual eccentricity as an Impediment to the administration of justice. Mental idiosyncrasy on the part of judges is constantly exhibited and scarcely excites comment. An eminent and very able judge will dissent from the ruling of his associates when it is extremely difficult to understand how so gifted a mind could have gone off on that particular tangent. By permitting aflimances or reversals, notwithstanding dissent, the personal equation is eliminated. — New York Journal. Bowler o* Derby? Most men find a bowler hat best for rough weather, and the president of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colors declares It to be artistic as well as serviceable. “The bowler was worn by the Greeks,” says Sir James Linton “What was good enough for Athens ought to do for London. W hy, even Mercury wore a bowler hat —if the Greek vases are to be believed — and if he put wings into it, it was only byway of trimming. The Americans, with whom this is a favorite hat, prefer to call it a derby—it is difficult to say why. Even the Century dictionary, though stating that the flat itself was adopted in the United States as a fashionable novelty in the year 1874, gives no clue to the origin of this term. —London Chronicle. Thought Last Day at Hand. A. family of tour, including the grandfather, were coming up from Florida by easy stages, and stopped oAr night in Richmond. The old gentleman had reached the border line of dotage and had to be pretty carefully watched. It happened that in the room over his some water was spilled on the floor, and, leaking through the thin ceiling, it dripped on the old man’s bed. When his daughter ■ entered his room in the morning she I found her father sitting bolt upright i* bed. Just under the leak, with an umbrella spread over him, and an expression of terror on his face. “Maria, Maria,” he whispered huskily, “the day of judgment has come!” His Wanderings Ended. In a recent long-drawn trial in New York the defense introduced a miner as a witness and went into a detailed Inquiry as to his exact whereabouts for the past ten years. It was most wearisome. For a day and a half the lawyer asked this man to tell his wanderings year by year. Finally they got down to 1911, and asked him: “What did you do on May 16, 1911!” “I went to Cobalt.’’ “How long did you remain there?” “I have been there ever since.” Juror Number Nine roso in his place and said fervently: “Thank God!” His Record Too Bad. It was Washington’s birthday, and the teacher had been telling of what a great and good man Washington was. She concluded by asking all the boys that would like to be a second George Washington to hold up their hands. They all held up their hands, but one. “Wouldn't you like to be a I second George Washington, Tommy?' i she asked. “Too late now,’ said Tommy. "1 have told too many lies.” I

IF BACKACHY OR KIDNEYS BOTHER Eat less meat and take a glass of Salts to flush out Kidneys— Drink plenty water. Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. ’J’he urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body’s urinous waste or you’ll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. — o WOMEN’S StomacHroubles The Great Woman’s Medicine Often Just What Is Needed. We are so used to thinking of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as a remedy exclusively for female ills that we are apt to overlook the fact that it is one of the remedies for disorders of the stomach. For stomach trouble of women it io especially adapted, as it works in complete harmony with tho female organism, since it contains the extracts of the best tonic roots and herbs. It tones up the digestive system, and increases tho appetite and strength. Here is what one woman writes showing what this medicine does: — Newfield, N. Y.—“l am so pleased to say I can recommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound as an economical and beneficial remedy in most ailments pertaining to women. At bast I found it so by only taking two bottles. I had indigestion in a bad form and I am now feeling in the best of health and owe it all to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.”— Mrs. Burr Williams, R. D. No. 29, Newfield, N.Y. Many women suffer from that “all gone feeling,” and “feel so faint,” while doing their work. Ten chances to one their digestive system is all out of order. A tablespoonful of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound after each meal should completely remedy this condition in a few days. HAVE COLOR IN YOUR CHEEKS Be Better Looking —Take Olive Tablets Ts your skin is yellow—complexion pallid—tongue coated — appetite poor—you have a bad taste in your mouth—a lazy, no-good feeling—you should take Olive Tablets. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—a substitute for calomel—were prepared by Dr. Edwards after 17 years of study with his patients. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil. You will know them by their olive color. If you want a clear, pink skin, bright eyes, no pimples, a feeling of buoyancy like childhood days, you must get at the cause. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets act on the liver and bowels like calomel—yet have no dangerous after effects. They start the bile and overcome constipation. That’s why millions of boxes are sold annually at 10c and 25c per box. All druggists. Take one or two nightly and note the pleasing results. The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus, O.

Mogul 8-16 ® v Kerosene-Burning Tractor THE light tractor has come to stay. Mogul 8 -16, which we think is the best of them all, has more than a year of splendid success behind it. Many thousands are now in everyday use. On farms where there used to be six, eight, and ten horses, there nltf now from two to four, just enough to handle the cultivating aud other light work. Mogul 8-16 is doing the work of the rest. There are but two reasons for this. The Mogul is more dependable than horses for heavy farm work. Mogul 8-16 does the heavy work better and cheaper than horses. Come in and see us, and we will show you why Mogul 8-16 does heavy farm work better and cheaper. We have a s?mplo right here in the store, so that you can see theactual machine, not simply read about it. Wo are open every day, and it is no trouble, in fact, it is a pleasure, to show you this kerosene-burning Mogul 8-16 tractor that we can sell for $675 F. O. B.
