Died Suddenly 'From Heart Attack
Mr. John Anderson, who lived at
the corner. of Josephine Street, and
the B. Line, passed away suddenly
Wednesday morning, October lth,
from: a heart attack. He was in his
17th year. About 9 o'clock he went
tip a ladder and proceeded to cut
some limbs off a tree that were lean-
ing on the roof. He worked for a
short time as Mrs. Anderson, who
-was in the house, could hear him
sawing. For a short time she did not
gear him vt''orking aid on going out
to see how he was getting along,

Sore Back Made
It Agony to Turn
BUT DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS -SOON
MADE HER WELL
Mrs. A. Ivens Has Used Dodd's
Kidney Pills For Twenty Years.
Williamstown, Ont., Oct. 19 (Sp4-
tial): "I have been using Dod'i's
Kidpey Pills for 'twenty years," writes
Mrs. A. Ivens, a well, known and re-
spected resident of this place. "At
that 'time I was sick in bed 'with a
sore back and one of Do.dd's Alman-
acs came through the mail and I
read it to see if anyone else had my
complaint. I got my husband to get
me a box of Dodds Kidney Pills and
said I would try them. I was glad
I did. Before I got through the first
box I was able to sift up. Before it
was agony, to turn around in oed. I
kept right on taking Dodd's. Kidney
Pills until I was completely wail. We
all use them and always have a 'box'
in the house. I cannot write enough
praise about; Dodd's Kidney Pills, for
when I am tired or run down I take
my Dodd's Kidney Pills and am soon
myself again."

Tonsils and Adenoids
At the back of the mouth, on either
side of the palate, are the tonsils;
above and at the back of the nose,
the adenoids are placed. The tonsils
and adenoids are alike in that they
are 'lyrephatic glands, and all lym-
phatie glands are a first line of de-
fence or barrier against germ's which
attehvpt to gain entrance into the
body.
Enlargement of the tonsils and
adenoids shows that germs have in-
vaded these glands. and that, as a
,result, the glands have become en-
larged in their effort to deal with the
invaders. If the gland's succeed in
this, then they return to their nor-
mal size and state. If, however, they
are not wihoily successful, the gland
remains enlarged, and, instead of be-
ing a barrier to germs, it becomes a
focus of germ life, and there is a
po'ssi'bility that the infection will
spread to the surrounding parts.
Enlarged tonsils and adenoids may
do harm simply through mechanical
obstruction and pressure. The en-
trance of the tube draining the mid-
dle ear into the -throat may be block-
ed and 'so cause deafness. Mouth -
breathing ;occurs when adenoids block
the normal airway of the nose, and
the condition may lead to deformity
of the teeth, mouth and -nose. If the
tonsils also are greatly enlarged,
breathing may be so difficult as to
'produ'ce deformity of the' chest.
Much more serious are the ill ef-
fects of inflected tonsils and adenoids.
Middle ear disease, sinus disease,
chronllc colds, sore throats, may fol-

The Electric Eye
At a Thousand Jobs
(Condensed' from Popular Science
Monthly in Reader's Digest.)
In an eastern factory a giant press
towers 25 feet in the air, its inassivc-
,jaws crunching steel plates as though
they were made of paper. If the op-
erator's hands move into the danger
zone of the crushing jaws, instantly,
the mechanical monster stops, upper
Jews poised in midair. An unseen eye
--an eye made of glass coated Nltri
a rpi a earth metal, guards the work..
man. Focused upon this photo -electric
cell, a. team' of light marks the clan-
ger line. When a hand crosses this
line, it intercepts the beam, cutting
off the light that reaches the cell and'
stopping, with the speed of electric-
ity. the operation of the machine.
'This is 'hut one of a thousand am-
azing tasks now performed by these
"tubes that think." The commonest
type looks like a small radic tube
and costs from $7.50 to $20. Rangirtig
fromi the size of a peanut to the size
of a pumpkin, the modern photo -elec-
tric cell has found a host of uses. It
is sorting (beans and buttons, turning
on lights and opening doors, calling
the fire department and timing races.
In a Pennsylvania coal mine, heavy
doors swing open at the approach of
a chump ear and close again behind
it, operated by a beam of light. in a
western elevator. wheat is weighed by
an automatic device in which the arm
of the scales intercepts a ray of light
at a desired point and shuts off the
flow of grain. In an Ohio steel mill,
ten -ton ingots rush hack and forth
through huge rolls, reversed -by their.
shadows.
Ships at sea are safeguarded a-
gainst fires by a robot smoke watch-
man. In the hold, teams of light are
trained upon photo -electric cells
which sound sirens if smoke begins
A,'a�`:RYti
ie
to dim the light that reaches them -
Such alarms have also been installed
in homes and warehouses to give
warning of fire. •
A special meter which uses an el-
ectric eye to determine the density.
of smoke in.a chimney has been de-
vised for giving a check upon com-
bustion and the efficiency of a heat-
ing • plant. -
In New York City recently an, in-
ventor demonstrated the manner in
which a 'battery of robots, under the
command of a magic lamp, would at-
tack a burglar. attempting to crack
a safe. In the wink of an eye, after
a beam of invisible ultra -violet light
in front of the safe is intercepted,
the robots 'go into action. A burg-
lar alarm wails. A flashlight flares.
A camera snaps a photograph of the
intruder, while a fourth device vol-
leys out tear gas which leaves the
thug struggling around helpless un-
til the police arrive.
'In Detroit, automobile factories
are installing automatic "electric eye
forges." When a bar of steel..in these
electric heating chambers reaches the
desired temperature, its color, always
the same at that point, affects a
photo -electric cell and the bar is au-
tomatically removed.
A rule in factories where high-
priced cigars are made is that the
top layer of every box must contain
cigars of a uniform hue. Tobacco of
the same color is now picked out for
cigars by photo -electric cells which
work faster and more efficiently than
human eyes.
Matching- delicate shades of cloth
and dyes is also ,accomplished in the
same manner. A colorimeter- picks
out variations in hues imperceptible
to the most highly trained human
eye. Another application of the abil-
ity of the electric eye to distinguish
shades of color is' a remarkable de-
vice invented by a London doctor. It
separates the hue of a dye or paint
into its thrtem primary ,.colors and
gives the exact proportion of each.
Thus, the identical shade of an un-
known dye or paint can be reproduc-
ed at any time without costly experi-
menting. Again, the amount of
haemeglohin, or red coloring matter,
in the blood is r neatured in hospitals
by means of a magic eye.
IIn one newspaper pliant, presses
are equipped with an automatic de-
vice that stops them instantly if the
paper breaks. Light, directed up-
ward from beneath the paper feed-
ing into the press, strikes a photo-
electric cell if the ribbon breaks.
A few months ago, in the Texas
oil fields, another problem was solv-
ed by an electric eye. In the treat-
ing process in refining gasoline, af-
ter the cracking is over, it is import-
ant to have all the fuel of uniform
color. Fuel darker then standard con-
tains too m`tich carbon. Special
watchmen were', placed in one plant
'before glass tubes through which the
gasoline ran. But human eyes tire
easily and color changes frequently
went unnoticed. So the job has been
turned over to mechanical eyes that
never tire. Rays of light pass
photo -electric
through the tubes ''to pho -ectric e
cells. The slightest color variation in
the fuel causes a change in the
amount of light reaching the cells
and sounds an alarm,.
Over an Ohio airport, one night a
feety weeks ago, a hire airplane wheel-
ed in pitch darkness. Suddenly a
1ptx..a'."
slender white finger of light shot
downward from a small searchlight
nnounted• on the fuselage of the air-
craft. It probed back and forth over
the veld until its beam struck a photo-
electric cell near the hangars.
Instantly, the floodlights flared- on,
illuminating the fre•ld for a landing.
An automatic 'apparatus, by means
of which a pilot can turn on the lights
of a field from the air, had proved
a success. A similar device has been)
worked out to enable a flyer to switch
off the lights after a takeoff as he
flies away.
.All day long a photo -electric ro-
bot counts 'people entering the New
York Public Library. Others count
automobiles crossing the' Ainlbassa-
dor Bridge between Detroit and
Windsor. '
At the 'intersection of Trenton
Avenue and the Lincoln )Hiighway, in
Wilkinhurg, Pa., the light is always
green for traffic on the highway ex-
t whena scar approaches the
cell
corner of the side street, which has
cont raratively little traffic. Then the
light changes to red until the car has •
passed, and then switches to green.
'again. Photo -electric cells and beams
of light stretching across the side
street automatically- change the lights
