Expert Opinion.
While preparing a series of articles
on "Wives of Men of Genius" we called
on the wife of a famous inventor.
"Which of your husband's inven-
tions." we asked, "do you consider to
be his most notable achievement?"
"Most people," she replied, "look up-
on his X-ray washing machine as the
marvel of the age, but to my mind
tt doesn't begin to compare with the
excuse he made to me the night he
came home at 4 a. m. with a black
eye and one of his coattails missing.
He said he'd been sitting up with a
delirious friend."

vides for his family at the expense of
those who are not cognizant of his

Efficiency built the Panama Canal, after inefficiency failed.
The efficiency of the Panama Canal doubled the effective-
ness of the U. S. Navy without adding a ship to it. It
took over 8,000 miles out of the trip from New York to
San Francisco and changed the highway between London
and Australia from Suez to Panama.
Efficiency insures against lost motion—it produces the ut-
most service out of equipment and yields the finest product, at
the least cost.
Certain-teed
Roofing
is an efficiency product
Every advantage that men, money and machinery can offer is used
to increase the production, maintain the quality and lower the cost.
Each of the General's enormous mills is advantageously located
to serve the ends of efficient manufacture and quick distribution.
Each is equipped with the most up-to-date machinery. Raw
materials are purchased in enormous quantities and far ahead of
the needs of manufacturing, thus guarding against increased
cost due to idle machinery. This also insures favorable buying,
and the pick of the market.
Expert chemists at each mill are employed to select and blend the
asphalts, and every roll of CERTAIN-TEED is made under
their watchful care.
CERTAIN-TEED resists the drying-out process so destructive
to ordinary roofing, because the felt is thoroughly saturated with a
blend of soft asphalts, prepared under the formula of the General's
board of expert chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder
asphalts, which keeps the inner saturation soft. This makes a
roofing more pliable, and more impervious to the elements than
the harder, drier kind.
CERTAIN-TEED is made in rolls; also in slate-surfaced shingles.
There is a type of CERTAIN-
TEED for every kind of building,
with flat or pitched roofs, from the
largest sky-scraper to the smallest
residence or out-building.
CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for
5, 10 or 15 years, according to ply
(1,2 or 3). Experience proves that
it lasts longer.

Fire, the origin of which has not yet
been determined, destroyed two blocks
in the heart of the business district of
Hobart, resulting in losses aggregating
about $160,000, one-third of which
probably was covered by insurance.
Fire, of unknown origin, gutted the
one-story brick building of the Kin
ney Mercantile Company, and the one-
story frame building of the Williams
general store, on the main street of
Altus. The aggregate loss is about
$22,000, partially insured.
A bill by Senator Owen to establish
a fish cultural station in Oklahoma
passed the senate. It authorizes the
secretary of commerce to establish
fish cultural station in the state of
Oklahoma at a suitable place to be
selected by him, and for that purpose
$50,000 is appropriated.
Oklahoma is assured a federal fish
cultural station and the state is per-
mitted to use the Fort Sill reservation
for a state fish cultural station under
the terms of a bill introduced by Sen-
ator Owen which passed the senate
last week. The site for the federal
fish station will be selected by the
secretary of commerce.
Secretary Lane notified the senate
that he has granted a thirty-day ex-
tension of the leases on the Osage

poned for forty days the public auc-
tion which was-to have been held to
dispose of the lands as soon as the
leases expired.

the sale of Osage oil lands had been

be held at Pawhuska, Okla.

City Has a History.
Hamadan, the Persian city, seems
to be the Ekhatana or summer resi-
dence of the ancient Persian kings,
where Alexander the Great stored his
enormous loot from Persia, estimated
at over $205,000,000. But there is to-
pographical difficulty about identify-

Many diseases of childhood and youth are due to
faulty diet—a diet that restricts the amount of needed
mineral salts, the lack of which, as your family physi-

diseases of mal-nutrition.
