AQUICK and accurate way of obtaining an impression of the holes already drilled in a flange when a new flange or cap is to be fitted to it, is to rub a piece of chalk down into the hole so that the edge will scrape off a small amount, forming a bead of chalk that is slightly raised above the surface of the flange. On the flange thus prepared the new flange is laid in the exact position in which it is to be bolted. On removing the chalked flange an accurate tracing of each hole will be found on the.new flange. These circular tracings can be centered and drilled and they will be sure to mate the holes in the other flange when it is replaced for bolting. Magnetic T-Square By William Grotzinger WHEN much hatching is to be done there is always a tendency to move the T-square out of position because it is necessary to hold the T-square and at the same time to manipulate the triangle and the ruling pen. To eliminate this trouble the writer took two small electro-magnets out of an old door bell, and fastened one on each end of the head of the T-square, taking care to get the magnet cores on a line with the edge of the head. Then a piece of thin iron band was fastened to the edge of the drawing board with several small screws. The magnets were connected in series with a battery and switch. When turning on the current, the magnets will hold the T-square firmly against the drawing board. Then all one needs to do is to attend to the triangle and the pen. This will eliminate slipping of the T-squareand make for accurate work.

Between the Christmas trees, wet weather, and all of the bugs going around, I spent a few weeks suffering from allergies and/or a minor bug. I have posted about my neti habits in the past, but after seeing so many people suffer I thought it might be time to bring it up again.
Throughout my time under the weather, I was never congested in my nose. Normally when my allergies get really crazy or I get sick one of the first things that happens to me is that my nose completely stuffs up. When I wasn't feeling well I was using my neti pot in the morning and before I went to bed. It made the biggest difference for me, better than any medication.
If you aren't feeling your best or are coming up on a big allergy season for you, I highly recommend trying a sinus wash like a neti pot. Just remember to boil or filter your water first, especially if you will be using well water.
