THE READING AMERICAN.
The public school of America is
responsible for the. reading Ameri
can. He is everywhere, and up-to-date;
his paper, his magazine, his library
are simply indispensable to him,
while the telegraph, wire and wireless,
keep him in touch with the world on
the current history of the day.
It is one of the best signs we have
of national stability and readiness.
Great emergencies are met all over
the land with communal understand
ing and appreciation that save days
and weeks of coaching and prepara
tion, and drilling for action. The
country is never asleep; the Presi
dent, the Governor, the Mayor, al
ways find the people on the spot
when they are wanted for high pur
poses, and thousands of them equip
ped for leadership.
No country in the world has as
many readers of the daily news as
the United Sttes; if there are classes
in this country, there is a paper for
each, ad all are studied avidly; the
nation is never without a working
knowledge of the great events trans
piring, or to transpire. From Astoria
to the keys of Floradi and from the
St. Croix to San Diego it is the same
and the common school is at the bot
tom of it. It is splendid equipment
and the country at large appre
ciates it
i GREAT DAY, THIS!.
This is a great day in the United
States.
The flower of the American navy
leaves the Golden Gate for its trip
around the world, an eight months'
tour over five of the seven seas, to
carry ' the message of good-will and
peace to all men. There are those
who deem this great voyage a piece
of national braggadocia, a tentative
insult to every, nation that shall be
visited, and an extravagant attempt
at bluff on the high seas, but such
people are few, thanks be!. The coun
try in general looks to the fleet to
spread the gospel of friendliness and
harmony everywhere and it will do
it if it is permitted by those whom it
shall visit.
The Democratic National Conven
tion will meet in Denver this day to
get ready for its quadrennial knock
out at the American polls. This is a
serious matter always, and might be
dispensed with were it not for the
trditional cleaving of the "old guard"
to its broken idols; and then again
it serves as an outing for a host of
good fellows tht need the relexation
and the excitement of the journey
and the old-time touch of civic action.
The country looks on with good
natured tolerance and rather enjoys
the typical sham of it all, knowing
that the end will be as It always is
and may not be else so long as the
once formidable party is without man
and issue wherewith to win out. It
is sad, of course, but apparently in
evitable. CHINESE REFORM.
The Americanized Chinaman is
reaching after the redemption of his
own great land. The Chinese Empire
Reform Association, which has its
sub-associations all over the Pacific
coast, Astoria included, is doing a
great work and should be encour
aged so far as it will permit the
friendly aid of the Americans. They
are working out their own salyation,
within their own ranks and taking
their cue, but not their guidance,
from the natives of this country.
They are passing the messages of
peace and ' freedom and progress
back to the intelligent and capable

of their own people at home and
lending immense service, in counsel
and money, for the spread of the
healthier and happier code oi civic
life there. It is an up-hill task, and
they may be long years in attaining
to their ends; but it is worth all the
time and trouble and sacrifice, and
posterity will bless them, as we bless
the forefathers of our own dear
land. Huge as is the enterprise its
consummation will be infinitely vast
er and its blessings without end.
STAND BY YOUR TOWN.
Every Astorian who goes forth
into the States adjoining Oregon,
north, east and south, returns with
the same story as to Asoria. The
rend of the tale is, that this city is
holding its own admirably with every
place of like size and character on
the coast; that there is just a bit
more activity here than anywhere
else; that we have less to complain
about than any other town, and
that things generally hereabout are
equally as good, if not a shade bet
ter, than most of the towns these er
rant Astorians have visited. It is the
talk of men who judge things as they
pass, and not the brag of partial
home-people.
It all goes to show that we should
stand by the city of Astoria. She is
of the best, as far as she goes; and is
forging ahead all the time. There is
more money here, according to these
travelers, than most places enjoy,
and more industrial activity; and
even if the year be dull, as all
Presidential years are, this yields no
predicate for knocking the place. We
are doing all our present financial
string will permit; the future is as
bright as it ever was; we have no
great communal burdens, no distinct
and retarding impediments; we are
simply not doing as much business
as we would like to do; that is about
all there is to Astoria's real plant.
Stand by the town and have a good
word for it ever on the end of your
tongue and pen. It pays. Get to
gether solidly and soundly and move
en masse, for the new things that are
to come; bring them in; don't wait for
them to be brought, or sent, in;
stand by, and nothing will get past
you or the town' either!.

Utilizing Waste Steam
While in the past, nnmf untold
wealth of natural resources, America
has been wasteful and extravagant,
the inventions which bring;' the gVeat-1
est premiums to-day are those which'
utilize waste material and power. De -
mand for better and cheaper power
is increasing every day and happily jing from 15 to 7,5 pounds pressure
the inventors arc just about keeping I doe almost as much work as' from
pace with the demands by .continu-1 13') to 60 pounds. An expansion of
ally discovering Ways and means to! from two pounds to one pound is
supply additional electrical power
without adding to the cost.
The steam engine is the most ex -
travagant imaginable to transfer coal
energy into mechanical energy. Not
only does it require millions of tons
of coal to keep it supplied with steam
but it cannot use a large percentage
of the steam power. The power of
steam is produced by expansion and
the best steam engines waste con
siderable of this power in the exhaust
With the engine operating Under 180
pounds steam pressure and exhaust
ing at about 30 pounds pressure, half
'the power is wasted. It was to rem
edy this refect that the compound
engine was produced which uses the
steam twice at a wonderful economy.
That is, the steam which left the first
cylinder at about 3D pounds pressure
was carried to another ud a larger
cylinder and used over again, extract
ing considerable of the power form
erly going to waste. The first cylin
der of the compound engine is small
owing to the high steam pressure but
as the steam expands to a greater
volume the second cylinder, operat
ing at low pressure, is necessarily
large. But even the compound en
gine, which takes up a lot of room,
does not get all the power out of the
expanding steam and the loss still
reaches alarming proportions.
The development of the steam tur
bine a few years ago was a long step
towards cheaper power. This is
especially true where the turbine is
used for the generat'on of electric
ity in central stations, power hguses
and the like. Electricity soon dem
onstrated its superiority over all
other forms of power in manufactur
ing, and years ago industrial plants
began to utilize their steam engines
to drive generators in the power
house while all the machinery us
driven by electric motors. This plan
did away with rope and belt drives,
shafting and consequent loss ol
THE PLAIN TRUTH.
What More Can Astoria People
Ask?
When well known residents and
highly respected people of Astoria
make such statements as the follow
ing, it must carry conviction to
every reader:
Mrs. E. Haggblom, corner Ninth
and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore
gon, says: "For ten years I suffered
acutely from kidney trouble which
gradually grew more severe until I
became alarmed. My back was so
weak and painful and I suffered from
such severe dizzy spells that I could
hardly get around. At last I was
forced to take to my bed and re
mained there for a long time. My
kidneys were irregular in action and
the secretions so profuse as to cause
me a great deal of suffering. At last
I decided to try a good kidney rem
edy and procured a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at Rogers drug store.
The results that followed their use
were most satisfactory. I continued
using them and it was not long be
fore I was completely cured. I have
used Doan's Kidney Pills on some oc
casions since ,to keep my kidneys in
good order and can conscientiously
say I have not had any recurrence of
the trouble since they cured me."

power through fraction. The turbine
soon proved that it utilized more of
the steam energy and gave more
power for the same amount of fuel
and attention than the old type of
t steam engines.
I Figures show that steam expend
capable of nearly as much work as
the expansion of the same weight of
'steam from 200 to 100 pound. Under
i high pressure the steam does more
is Miiall; under low pressure it does
less work per square inch but the
volume is so larne and cover so
many square inehei that it does prac
tically the same amount of work, pro
vidimt there i working surface
enough to use this low pressure en
ergy. During the last few month a new
type of Curtis steam turbine has been
developed which is designed to be
operated under low steam pressure.
This type of turbine ue exhaust
steam just as it leaves the exhaust
pipes from a common steam engine.
In other words, it i built to utilize
the waste steam, To understand
the workings of this turbine it must
be remembered that as steam expand
the pressure diminishes and the vol
ume increases, from nign pressure
tthe volume increases slowly with a
long drop in pressure but when the
low pressures are reached the volume
increases rapidly with small decreas
es in pressure. For a reciproctaing
engine to get full benefit from low
pressure steam would require the use
of cylinder of such immense size as to
make their use prohibitive through
mechanical difficulties. On the other
hand the low-pressure turbine, with
its wide blades and large nozzles, will
handle a great volume of steam in
rapid motion and utilize all the en
ergy. The Curtis low-pressure turbine is
made in sizes from 700 to lO.tXK)
horse-power, designed to take s'eam
at one pound gauge pressure and ef
ficiently utilize its energy. It can be
advantageously applied in any case
iwhere reciprocating engine'itre now
used and will increase the station out
put without increase of boiler plant
or using more fuel.

When tho uoso In bleeding never hold
It over a basin or hold the bead down
tn any way. Tula only causes further
rush of blood to the broken tissues lo
the nose. The head should be held up
and back, the flow being eanght In
handkerchiefs or clot Int. One of tho
most effective and simple means of
checking a ncweblced Is to press on
the npper Hp. Near the undersurface
of the Hp runs the artery that supplies
the interior uasal passages where tho
ruptures occur. If this Is pressed, tho
flow of blood Is mechanically checked,
thus allowing the blood around the
broken tlKBtiea to congeal and seal up
the opening. If merely pressing with
the finger does not succeed, place a
wad of paiwr under the Up and fold
ibe Hp over It, holding It down tight
Again, if this does not succeed and a
drug store Is near get some adrenalin,
saturate n piece of cotton with it and
apply to the Interior of the nose from
where the blood flows.
