3 GLASSES WATER
HELP CONSTIPATION
One glass of water is not e-
[ nough—take three glasses one hour
before breakfast. Much better re-
sults are obtained by adding a
teaspoon of simple glycerin, sa-
. line courapound (known as Ad-
; ,lerika) to each glass.
Adlerika acts on BOTH upper
and lower bowel and removes old
waste matter you never thought
was in your system. Stops gas and
sour stomach in TEN minutes! Re- j
ieves constipation in two hours, j

America's Great Dett'
to Alexander Hamilton
Without any question it was Alex-
ander Hamilton who laid the founda-
tions for the material prosperity of
the United States.
He was the founder of our whole
financial system. As our first secre-
tary of the treasury in President
Washington's cabinet, Hamilton de-
vised the govern mental funding sys-
tem, the internal revenue bureau, the
sinking fund, the national the
federal mint and currency system.
He was the father of the protective
tariff and was the first to propose and
vigorously defend the doctrine of the
"implied powers of the Constitution."
He was first to advocate internal
Improvements and the building of
roads and bridges.
Talleyrand, one of his old friends,
passing Hamilton's window very late
one night, wrote: . .
"I have soon a man who made the
fortune of a nation and labored all
night to support his own family."
After his death iijs private affairs
were found to be in a terribly tangled
condition and it was only through a
special act of congress that his widow
was supplied with f-nds—Thrift Mag-
azine.

Scientists Not Agreed^
STto Color ©f Moon
The moon is not white, it Is brown";
Mars is not red, it a greenT These are.
the latest suggestions of astronomers.
A committee of the Carnegie institu-
tion, in Washington, reports that the
apparent silvery whiteness of moon-
light is due to contrast with the dark-
ened sky. The actual color of the
moon, they believe, is the dull brown
of weathered rocks. This suggests
that the surface of the satellite 'may
have been weathered by oxidation at
some previous time, although t)ie moon
is known to have no atmosphere now.
Mars, according to E. J. Gounod of
Ihe Amateur,Astronomers' association,
may be covered with green vegetation
like the earth. The reason it appears
red, he says, is that the light rays have
to pass through the atmosphere of
bolh Mars and the earth before "they
reach our eyes. These atmospheres
filter out the blue and green rays but
allow the red rays to pass. The three
reasons most often given for the red
color of Mars, says Popular Science
Monthly, are that the planet is "rusty"
with iron rust, that its soil and rocks
are red or that it is red vegetation.
Baffles Scientists
The remarkable electrical phenom-
enon sometimes witnessed at sea,' and
generally termed, St. Elmo's fire, rtever
has been satisfactorily explained by
science, says H. J. Andrews, Iff the
White Star Magazine.
It is a luminous body which can be
seen on wet nights perching on or
skipping about the snasts and rigging
of a ship. Sometimes there are two
such flames, and the anc-ient Roman
sailors gave the name of Helena to
the single light and termed the double
one Castor and Pollux. Helene, in
Creek, signified a torch, and Castor
and Pollux were the twin sons, in
classical mythology, of Jupiter and
Led a.
Columbus' Chains
Columbus was carried Lack to Spain
after his third voyage and during the
trip he was such a sorrowful figure
and the captain of the vessel had so
much respect for him that he wanted
to remove the chains, but Col&mbus
refused, saying that they were put on
by orders of their majesties and fliey
must be removed the same way. Of
course, when he reached Spain and
was ordered freed, his request that
they he jriven him was granted and
his grandson writes that they never
left him. It was his dying request
that they be buried with him, and this
was done.
Wails ar.d Whales
A certain club possessed one .mem-
ber who was notorious for grumbling.
Wet or fine, warm or cold, he always
found something to grumble about.
One evening he was holding forth
as usual about his bad luck.
"I'm a Jonah and a Job rolled, into
one," he complained, "only I dofi't
happen to possess the patience of
Job."
"Never mind, old man," murmured
his victim, preparing to make his de-
parture, "you've still got Jonah's
wail."
Beetle Vindicated
Experiments show that while the
beetle and other insects were being
blamed for the destruction of public
buildings, they are not guilty. Their
jaws are quite unsuited te a diet of
stone. All they do is to make their
homes in the erosions made by the
more deadly bacteria. Even hard,
smooth marble does not come amiss to
those bacteria, and. incredible as it
may seem, experiments reveal that
they will make an erosion on the hard-
est marble in three weeks.
Beauty Made by Dust

Folly
In Judge Wilson's court recently, a
middle-aged man protested vehemently
against a heavy fine imposed on him
for an act he had committed just in
fun.
"I imposed that fine," stated his
honor, "because you are old enough
to have known better. Some kinds of
fun are like Insurance. The olde^you
are, the more it costs you."—Los An-
geles Times.
