By EDWIN A.NYE. WHICH? As you go by train westward from &he city of St. Louis you note a long pne of tall towers leading off to the morthwest. The towers are built to bold the big gables that are to convey electric powW from the Keokuk dam to the city. The big dam is nearly 200 miles away, and the power will be conveyed long seven copper cables running over $he towers. Sixty thousand horsepower will be transmitted from the power house at Keokuk to turn the wheels of hundreds of St. Louis factories and provide light for the city. St. Louis has contracted for this 60,000 horsepower, which will leave 140,000 to be distributed to other cities. And , If the demand exceeds this supply other turbines will be put in sufficient to double the capacity and make it 400.000 horsepower. t There was no especial problem In getting this power to St. Louis. ; Here was the need; there was the power. All that was required was proper connection between the need and the power. HoweverOne never ceases to wonder not only at the mysterious phenomena of the hidden power in electricity, but at the possibility of conveying this tremendous power hundreds of miles by wire. But why wonder? Here is a man of wonderful power. ."Where does he get it? Where is the great dynamo with which he Is connected? What Is the connection? I The power is not wholly In the man himself. ' Every man who has studied himself well knows there is a power outside of himself, that somewhere in the universe is a dynamo with which he is more or less connected. What is that power? He does not know any more than he knows what electricity is. He can name It, but he does not know it. . But1 He does know there Is an infinite power house through which power is diffused. , And ' Which is the more wonderful, the distribution through visible connection of a physical power or the invisible connection with an Invisible power? THIS NURSE KNOWS. t"Of all the medicine ever used I freely say that for superior merit Caere Is none so good as Blackburn's Casea-Boyal-Pllls for constipation, coated tongue, bad blood, stomach. liver, and bowel disorders."

Lack Color. - There Is no race of human albtnos, end the albino appears in nearly all races. Latin albus means white in KngMgT The word albhao is applied to white plants and white animals. Specifically when we hear the word we think of white humans men or women without color. In a full or complete albino (human) all pigment or color Is absent In the skin, in the in terlor organs and even In the brain White negroes and Indians exist, as well as in Caucasian or "white races, some of these being quite dark. A total albino has a white epidermis or skin and also white hair ami red eyes, due to the absence of pigment In the membranes of the eye, which Is for the purpose of screening light that is too bright for the retina that is,' in albinos; others can see thu retina in the rear of the eye, and thin appears to be red. Albinism Is not a disease, nor are th minds of albinos weaker than thosu of others. White blackbirds, mice hares and birds are albinos. And ther. .white elephants are sacred and worshiped by some races in Asia. Ex Hasenpfeffer for Innch at wmnesr s tonteht

Only a Week 's Vacation.

Richmond public school children are to have only one week's vacation during the Christmas holiday season. The time honored custom of giving two weeks' parole from those exacting masters. Reading. 'Riting and 'Rithmetic, during the happy Yuletide has been rudely violated and there is many a cheerless young heart in Richmond today. The explanation for the shaving down of the Christmas vacation to one brief week Is that the school authorities desire to dismiss school one week earlier in the summer. Can it be some of our teachers desire to spend a week longer in Europe next summer? However, be that as it may, a loud juvenile protest has arisen over the school authorities' appropriation of five school days from one of the happiest periods of the year. Really the action of the powers-that-be in our schools does not appear to be a wise move. The children have been in school now for three months and after the first of the year they must be in school five and a half months' more. Two weeks of rest and holiday fun, it seems to us, would be beneficial to the youngsters and make them brighter and fresher for the almost half year of toil with their studies which lies ahead of them. Also, it seems to us, the summer vacation is long enough now without adding one more week to it. Will all the children in favor of two weeks' vacation during the Christmas holidays kindly raise their hands.

Promotion to Goethals.

President Taft has had a happy thought. He has suggested to congress that a certain soldier, Colonel Goethals of the Engineering Corps, be promoted to the rank of major-general. Undoubtedly congress has been so busy of late playing politics and tapping pork barrels that it has merely overlooked recognizing the services this modest soldier has performed for the benefit and glory of his country, and now that the president has called its attention to this oversight we anticipate congress will pause in its trials of alleged judicial crooks and cease debating over the Squedunk post office appropriation long enough to. bestow upon Col. Goethals a rank which carries with it enough salary that the distinguished builder of the Panama Canal, the greatest engineering feat In the history of the world, can have enough funds to return to the states occasionally. What a disgrace it would be if Col. Goethals was added to the already long list of victims of the "ingratitude" of this republic. This officer of the engineering branch of the regular army has performed a task which was abandoned by some of the most distinguished engineers In the world. After the repeated failure of these experts to accomplish results and "stick on the job" President Roosevelt, disgusted, turned to the army and crisply ordered that efficient service to take over the work of constructing the "Big Ditch." Without blare of trumpeets or the rantings of press agents Col. Goethals went to Panama and with military precision and affectiveness took over the work and the dirt has been flying like a Sahara sand storm ever since, and the canal will be Inished at least a year ahead of the time scheduled. Practically all of the excavation has been completed and the locks which have been constructed are masterpieces; also the Panama Canal Zone is the most healthy strip of territory to be found In the tropics, and Is being fortified like a Gibraltar. Goethals would be the highest salaried engineer in the world if he could be tempted to leave the army. But he is a soldier and the blandishments of civil life do not appeal to him. He has not even asked for promotion in the service he has brought so much honor to, but that is no reason why Colonel Goethals should not be made a major-general and placed In command of the army engineering corps. We respectfully submit to Congressman Gray for his careful consideration the following parapraph culled from President Taft's latest message to congress: "As the completion of the canal grows nearer and as the wonderful executive work of Colonel Goethals becomes more conspicuous in the eyes of the country and of the world It seems to me wise and proper to make provision by law for such reward to him as may be commensurate with the service that he has rendered to his country. I suggest that this reward take the form of an appointment of Colonel Goethans as a major general In the army of the United States and that the law authorizing such appointment be accompanied with a provision permitting his designation as chief of engineers upon the retirement of the present incumbent of that office."

However, one was found sufficiently large to pass him through the antechambers, after which he was permitted to remove the ridiculous conventional appendage and place It In his ample pocket.

Some authorities are of the opinion that it is founded on the old game of "pale maille," or pellmell, from which we have the street Pall Mall. This is described by Cotgrave in his dictionary as "a game wherein a round box bowle is with a mallet struck through a high arch of yron," and a picture of this in Strutfs "Sports and Pastimes" shows that these had a strong resemblance to the croquet implements of today.

Morgan is holding down a desk in the offloe of Mather Bros. Company. Ora Mitchell is batching it for a few days while Mrs. Mitchell is away visiting. They say it is a fierce job of housekeeping "Mitch" puts up, and we do not doubt it for a minute. Suffice it to say any invitations O.

John Hirshburg is able to be on the job again after being confined at home for several days quite sick. John Minnich is spending his "between seasons" in the city. "Deck" Haxton who wears that laugh that won't come off has been offered quite a promotion by his house, I. R. Howard & Co., beginning January 1st. He will occupy the position of head salesman and also buyer of many lines of goods. But few changes are announced for 1912. Most of the boys are satisfied to let well enough alone and stay with their old jobs. And as a prosperous year is closing, the showing by all of them has been good. A Glass Clock. A Bavarian glass polisher constructed a clock which goes in perfect order and keeps accurate time. The construction of this time recorder took him six years. The glass plates and pillars which form the framework are bolted together with glass screws. The dial plate, hands, shafts and cogwheels are of glass, and glass wedges and pins are used for fastening together the various parts of the running gear. Even the key by which it is wound is of glass. The construction of the remarkable timepiece was a matter of infinite pains. Some of the parts had to be made as many as forty times before a practicable clock could be produced. Don't Envy anyone a good appetite a perfect digestion a robust constitution.

Dr. Hartman Speaks About Catarrh of the Lungs

Quite a stir in medical circles was produced by Dr. Hartma n's last article in which he refers to the remarkable cure of Mrs. Eberlein, of Pittsburg. The impression prevails that Dr. Hartman claims to be able to cure incurable diseases. A report of these stateS.B.H ARTM AN.M.D. ments reached Columbus, Ohio the doctor's ears. As soon as he heard what people were saying he was very quick and emphatic in his denial of any Intent on his part to creat such an impression. No. said the Doctor, I do not claim to have any magical cures. I do not claim to have a cure for anything. Judging from the number of letters I receive, however, concerning Mrs. Eberlein's case, from people who have similar complaints, I should judge that catarrh of the lungs is very prevalent. The number of people afflicted are increasing. In spite of the strenuous efforts of health boards catarrh prevails more and more every year. No, I do not claim to have a mir aculous cure. I only recite some of the things the people tell me who take Pe-ru-na. The case of Mrs. Eberleln, for instance. She was apparently dying of catarrh of the lungs. Her physician had told her so. Many people who had seen others die under similar conditions thought her to be dying. She commenced taking Pe-ru-na and recovered. Now, I do not undertake to explain her recovery. I certainly do not undertake to say that Pe-ru-na will cure anybody in the last stages of catarrh of the lungs. I make no such claim. But I do undertake to say this. As long as there Is life there Is hope. The doctors are liable to be mistaken. They often condemn people to die when they do not die. They say, "Mrs. So- andSo cannot live twenty-four hours," and then Mrs. So-and-So gets well. They say, "Mr. So-and-So has not a ghost of a show of living," but Mr. So-and-So gets well. Now, what Is It that cures such cases? Every doctor knows that it is the vitality of the patient. The last grain of vitality was not exhausted, just enough vitality left to make one more struggle, and the disease was overcome. Now, it may happen that Pe-ru-na is taken at the critical moment in the patient's struggle against disease. The patient may have been losing ground

Smokeless gunpowder as now made is not a powder, but a hard, hornlike material made into grains of considerable size. Our American smokeless powder, which is made in the form of mnltiperforated cylinders, burns in a cannon at the rate of about the sixteenth of an inch in the sixtieth of a second, or at the rate of altout four inches a seooud. every day. At last the fight seems ' 'hopeless; death inevitable. Someone: I suggests Pe-ru-na. The patwient takes ; . it without any hope. The medicine aci tually does infuse new life into the j circulation. They feel its genial ini fluence as soon as it is swallowed, j This constitutes the turning point in ; their disease. The little assistance which Pe-ru-na gives Nature at this im- ! portant point turns the tide of affairs l in favor of the patient. j Not that Pe-ru-na cures incurable diseases. No, not at all. But Pe-ru-na does lend a little much-needed assistance at a time when a feather weight ou one side or the other of the balances turns the scales in favor of or against the patient. Scores and scores of times Pe-ru-na has come In at these critical moments and saved patients from imminent death. At least it ! seems so. I have bushels of letters I reciting such things. Pe-ru-na is a diffuse stimulant. It stimulates the circulation. It causes a warm glow of health to pervade the mucous membranes of the body. The alimentary canal, kidneys, bladder, lungs, all the mucous membranes are apparently revivified, rejuvenated, reendowed with the glow of health. That is what Pe-ru-na will do. And this often saves life. There can be no doubt of it. Whether the case be one of catarrh of the lungs or any other chronic prostrating illness, the right stimulant at the right time. In the right doses, does the work. Explain it as you may, such things are happening every day. I prefer not to use the word cure. I do not like the sound of it. I do not like the idea that people generally attach to the word. But that Pe-ju-na helps Naturesometimes when she is sadly In need of help, that I know to be the truth. That is exactly what occurred In the case of Mrs. Eberlein, the account of which has caused so much comment. i If I or any of my immediate relatives had catarrh of the lungs, Pe-ru-na would be given a thorough trial, I assure you. That being the case, I can conscientiously advise any one else to do the same. Pe-ru-na, Man-a-lin and La-cu-pia manufactured by the Pe-ru-na Company, Columbus, Ohio. Sold at all drug stores.
