Forty-two thousand separate pateuts were issued to inventors by Uncle Sam. It is not the number of patents issued, however, that is worthy of note, but the character of the in ventions. The patent office deals with all the efforts of the world In every field of industry to advance the useful arts. Great interests are involved, not merely of private, but of public con cern, in the discoveries that are listed with the patent office. As an Illustration of what the dis coveries of the 12 months mean, refer ence may be made to the fact that one concern in Chicago reports that it has effected a reduction In coal consump tion from nearly seven pounds a kilo watt hour to 2.7 pounds a kilowatt hour, as a result of a new invention. A New York rapid transit company introduced improvements In the year which, according to the patent office, have caused a drop in coal consump tion from 21 pounds a kilowatt hour to 132 pounds a kilowatt hour. An electric plant, through some new Invention, It has shown, is now able to generate electricity from coal more cheaply than can be done from the wa ters of Niagara falls. These great economies are due in large measure to new inventions relating to automatic stokers and regulators attached to furnace construction, to forced draft and to coal-handling machinery. The year brought new and valuable Inventions that had to do with wire less telegraphy, telephony, the control of torpedoes, searchlights and gun pointing, vacuum cleaning. X-ray ap paratus, liquefaction of air to produce oxygen and nitrogen for commercial use, flying machines, the moving pic ture and mercury vapor lamps. For a period of some five years an industrial fellowship maintained by trained scientists have devoted their time to the study of methods of bread making, with the object of producing better bread. In the last calendar year, certain of the processes devel oped through this study were patented and put Into operation. Better nourishment of the yeast has reduced the amount required In rais ing the bread and maturing the dough, with the consequent lessening of the amount of flour and sugar used up by the yeast and converted Into carbon dioxide and alcohol. The savings of these and other economies to those em ploying the novel processes patented during the year are estimated to amount to more than $1,000,000 a year. This estimate is based on the present high scale of prices, but on any scale of prices would, It is asserted, be enor mous. The patents In the electrical field during the year were numerous. In the field of farming implements there came the improved tractor engines, better apparatus for digging, irriga tion and drainage canals, improved beet harvesters, etc. BIG GAIN IN POTASH I BIG EATERS GET KIDNEY TROUBLE Take Salts at first sign of Blad der irritation or Back ache. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trou ble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter ouL they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the elim inative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu matism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid neys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time. Brother Knew Why. Sister and little brother had been to the dog show and were greatly inter ested in the hairless canines from Mexico. At the dinner table mamma told them that some friends of hers once had one of those Mexican dogs and that they named him “Minus.” "Now, sister." said mamma, “why do you suppose they called him Minus?” But sister didn’t seem to be able to figure it ouL "I know, mamma,” volunteered brother.
