NO poULTIcEs FOR SOLDIERS.
Revolutionary Decision Made by Army
Physicians.

Linseed and linseed meal have been
dropped from army medicines, and
the army physicians have been noti-
fed that it is the opinion of the sur
geon generals Office that poultices
have no place in modern therapeutics,
all the good results obtainable from
them being got in much more clean
ly way by hot wet congresses.
The prohibition of the time-honored
lnseed meal, the best material for
pOultlces, seems to interfere with
method practiced by a large number
Of physicians, who would be inclined
to testify that without it our soldiers
would not receive the best care.
There is surely much to be said on
both sides. The psychological effect
at least of poultice is entirely too
great for a successful family physi-
clan to ignore, and why deprive the
soldier of this old fashioned comfort?

The Mother,


She was so tired of toll of everything,
Save loving those who needed all her
love!
Her heart was like the golden heart of

When white clouds sail above.
Autumn of life and tears were hers, and
yet
She sang and loved and gladdened us
the while;
Nor storms, nor snow could make her
once forget
Young Aprils radiant smile.
She was so weary; but we never guessed
How weary till she smiled at set of
sun,
And whispered as she drifted into rest
MY loving now is done"
"Tired of all save loving" Let this be
The epitaph inscribed where now she
lies,
Time shall not hide the words, nor mem

Origin of Macaroni.

An interesting story is told of the
origin of the word macaroni. It
seems that chef employed by one
of the popes was making him a dish
of it and stirred the mixture until
it became of the consistency of hard
tack. Having taken drop too
much the man was afraid of the papal
anger and resolved to make the dish
into a sort of paste. which greatly de-
lighted the pontiff. In his joy he
cried: mi carol" (my favorite), and
the pontiff, not catching the words ex-
actly, said "Macaroni? Well in the
future never serve me a meal with
out a dish of macaroni."

At What Temperature Water RolIs

Water boils at different tempera.
lures, according to the elevation above
the sea level. In London water boils
practically at 212 degrees Fahrenheit;
In Munich, Germany, at 2O91b de-
grees; in the City of Mexico, at 200
degrees, and in the Himalayas, at an
elevation of $4,000 feet above the lev
ell of the sea, at 1870 degrees. These
differences are caused by the vary
ing pressure of the atmosphere at
these points. In London the whole
weight of the air has to be overcome.
In Mexico, 1000 feet above the sea,
there Is 1000 feet less of atmosphere
to be resisted. Consequently less heat
is required and boiling takes place at
a lower temperature.

Atrocity of Ancient Warfare.

At the siege of Xanthus, in Lydia,
nets were spread in a river to pre-
vent the escape of divers, and stakes
driven deep in the ground to battle
tunneling operations; whereupon the
citizens appealed to fire, piling up
hillocks of combustibles, and, mot
men only, but women and little chill
dren, with hideous outcries, leaped
into the flames, and thus repeated the
desperate deed of their ancestors,
who, in the time of the Persian war,
had destroyed themselves in the very
same manner" (Plutarch's Life of

VALUE OF CAMP HOR TREES.

By-Products of Formosa's Growth Are
of Considerable Worth.
Every part of a camphor tree, even
to the leaves, contains camphor. The
forests are not confined to Formosa
alone, but are also found in Japan
proper With the extension of the in
dustry the large areas of this tree have
been greatly reduced, though replant-
ing and cultivation are practiced to a
considerable extent, tree requiring so
years to attain a diameter Of one
foot.
In Formosa, however, there is still
an extensive supply of native forest
growth and many huge trees are to be
found in regions still unexplored. The
supply, therefore, is assured for years
to come.
Camphor is found in the form Of
crystals in the wood tissues and is
separated from the crude oil by double
distillatioD From the first distiIla-
ton is secured an oxidized product,
camphogenotol, the principle of the
camphor oils of commerce. The crude
camphor is a dark-colored substance.
fusing at 10 degrees centigrade.
Among the by-products may be men
toned crude CO mphor oil, which comes
out simultaneously with the camphor:
white oil, obtained by sublimating the
crude oil and used in the manufacture
of soap. Red oil also is obtained from
the crude camphor oil. as we'll as a
black oil. which Is extensively used in
the preparation of varnishes. A tur-
pentine is secured from the white oil
that Is in great demand for medical
and Industrial purposes. From red oil
Is obtained the product known as saff-
rol, employed TO a considerable extent
in the manufacture Of perfumery and
also soap; and a dislnfectant is also
distilled from red oil, after the add
ton of other substances, claimed to
Kill the cholera bacillus. Another pro-
duct is an insecticide. which when min
gled with 100 parts of water DESTROYS
insects injurious to farm crops.
The annual export of camphor from
Japan Is about 100000 pounds. three
fourths of which is produced in For
mosa, the other fourth coming from
Japan proper, chiefly from Kyushu and
Shikoku. By a provision of the law
of 1908 the sale of camphor produced
in JanaI' is monopolized by the govern
ment through a restriction of the sale
Of crude camphor and camphor oil.

Late Hatched Chicks.

While every poultryman knows we'll
the advantages of the early Matched
chicks, especially as layers for fall and
winter eggs, the late-hatched bird is
not to be ignored, especially on the
farm, where there is a liberal range
on which the chicks may roam and
gather strength and frame. Often
times the late-hatched chick, well cared
for, will make q growth which will
enable her to oyertake the earlier
Matched bird and be quite as good and
as early a layer in the fall as the older
sister With la 2-hatched chicks the
lcuse must be perslstently fought, for
the warm weather brings out the in
sect in force. The large gray louise
is the one which makes the trouble.
but by close watching and treatment
it may be destroyed.
There is nothing better than sulphur
for this purpose, and it is applied best
by catching the chick and taking lit
tie sulphur in the fingers, sprinklIng
it through the feathers, especially
about the neck and head, but being
careful not to get the sulphur in the
eyes of the chick. Do the work thor
oughly, for the sulphur must come in
direct contact with the louise to destroy
it. Keep up this treatment, and the
chicks will readily be raised. Give
them the range as soon as they are
large enough, and see that they also
have enough grain food Of tho bo,sa
to keep them growing sturdily and en-
able them to take on muscle.-Indian-
