Not until-1884 did the hard rubber contrivance, much like that of today, begin to attract the busy man searching for time-saving devicés. The beginnings of the fountain pen are obscure. While early 'records indi- wate that experiments were made in the sevententh century "with a pen carrying a small.supply of ink in the handle, the: exact design 4s-unknown. What is believed to be one of the earliest references to a fountain pen occurs in the account of 'a journey made by two young Hollanders to Paris in 1668. These travelers allude to "a marvelous invention for writing conveniently," and to the inventor who "made silver pens where he puts ink which doesn't dry, and without in- creasing the supply of ink you can write right along as much as a half hand of paper." No further descrip- tion of*the penis given. i 'Slightly more informing is the Frenchnran, Bion, in a book on mathe- matical instruments written in 1728. 'Bion 'deseribes what he calls ia foun- tain pen as "a cylinder with two caps 'screwe.. on either end of it." The nib portion, "he explains, is composed of A ------------------ and cut and screwed into the inside of the little pipe, the ink poured into the tube by medns of a funnel, and the flow of it controlled by a screw work: irg in the little pipe." FURTHER EXPERIMENTS. Both English and" French books of this 'period 'tell of sporadic efforts to ing pen. But results, it appears, were far from satisfactory. A shorthand expert in a ook published in 1786 says: "For expeditious writing some use what are called fountain pens into which your ink is put, but as it is a hard matter to meet with a good one of 'this kind, I would recommend a without blotting the curves. of the letters." In practically all accounts of early fountain pens and their performances, the main difficulty is conceded to have been with the ink feed. Clogging and blotting ruined their efficiency. An COMPLETELY RELIEVED BY KRUSCHEN The value, of perseverance with | Kruschen, in the treatment of A rhixumatism, is proved by this man's experience. He says:-- "1 wae abroad for over seven years, and when 1 returned I began to get rheumatism--particularly in the feet and arms rhenmati got much $worse, and I I left the hospital after two months, when I wag somewhat better. I was recommended to take Kruschen Salts, 'and 1 have taken them continuously. Since then I have gradually got rid of would not be without my Kruschen Salts for anything."--MB, : N# remedy can bring permanent re- lief from rheumatism unless it per- forme three separate functions, These are (a) - dissolution of the needle: the pain; (b) the expulsion of these orystals from the system; -(c) preven.

He had \isited a "prospect" for some time and finally got the man '| to the point of s.gning an application fcr a large policy. The day he present- ed the insurance form for signature, Waterman took from his pocket a pen he Had thoughtfully provided. But out instead a blo. oa ink which ruined the sheet of paper Before he could return with a clear form a rival agent came along and wrote the policy. CAPILLARY A.TRACTION USED. 'Waterman then and there decided to study the reason why his fountain pen filed. Irregular feeding and lack of control against flooding, he discov- ered, were at the, root of the trouble. He set about creating a feeding sys- tem that would deliver the ink in a controlled flow to the tip of the pen three yéars of work, It was a three- fissured feed, which utilized the prin- ciple of capillary attraction. In 1884 he took out a patent for his pen. Fundamentally, the fountain pen has not departed from first principles, though a self-filling gadget has done|. away with the old method of dropping the ink into the barrel or reservoir. The first slim affair holding only a small amount of 1k has been enlarged to a pen warranted to write steadily for more than twelve hours without needing to be refilled. Next to the United States, Germany and Japan lead in fountain pen production, but their product is generally of a cheap grade. England and France, on the other hand, like the United States, manufacture the better type of pen. FRET REY SA Daily Paper Stands Up Newspapers in 1933 fell off in the United States and Canada by some- thing like 200, to a shade under 14, 000 publications. This is less than a two percent. decline, and the first six months of last year were a grim period, The chief casualties were among the weeklies, Of dally news papers only seven disappeared out 2,012; : 2 Halt a dozen years © ago, at the peak of prosperity, there were 2,400 dailies, The depression presum- ably is responsible for a sbvinkage of about 15 percent which is almost trivial 'when compared 'with other shrinkages in the nation's house | keeping. Moreover, it 1s striking that a very bad average year like 1933 should have seen a trifling loss of seven dally newspapers, against a decline of more than 60 dailies in a good year like "1928. The reason {is perhaps that we have so many more troubles ani prob- lems to thresh out, For instance, just to give full space to everybody's 'views on the gold standard would require about 100,000 'large dally newspapers.--New York Times. -- a] "Parents are a necessary evil-----more Three years ago my, wag eventually taken inlo hospital, unable to move any joint of my body. , my rheumatism, uitil I am now en tirely free 'of those 'awful pains, I pointed uric acid crystals which cause, evil than necessary.'--John Erskine.

A, A. MacMillan of, the Dominion Live Stock Branch, told the World's Grain Conference. At the above mentioned points a supply of feeder lambs are readily available each year. If groups of farmers undertook lamb feeding, the freight from stockyard or 'abattoir to the feed lot would be reduced. The making up of carloads of finished lambs would be easy and each group of farmers. would benefit: by the ex- perience of neighbors, Thousands qf sheep raisers in both Eastern and Western Canada could increase re turns from 'the lambs by resorting marketing only those'that are finish ed and of desirable weight, and put- ting 'the balance into the feed lot for a short-term feeding, period. LAMB FEEDING ENTERPRISES. Many farmers who have plenty of feed and suitable-acecommodation can- not buy feeder lambs due to lack of money, says Mr. A. A, MacMillan, Do- minion Live Stock Branch. On the other hand, many sheep ranchers feel that their lambs are to some extent sacrificed at time of sale due to the fact fhat they have had to take the price offered. In - Southern Alberta some very satisfactory results have been obtained where the rancher has entered into an agreement with the teeder on an agreed feeding plan, both rancher and feeder sharing in the enhanced value of the lambs at the time of marketing, The recent experiment also of extending the sea. son for fresh lamb- by which 3,000 picked lambs were brought from Southern Saskatchewan through the agency of the Dominion Department of Agriculture and placed for finish. ing with 26 farmers in Ontario this winter has proved most successful, and promises to become a regular practice.
