Wsrdinq OFF Old Ace.

A famous French general when ask
ed how it was that he had such an
erect carriage replied that it was be-
cause he bent over and touched the
floor with his fingers thirty times ev-
cry day. If he had acquired rigidity
of the spine so that he could not do
that he would have had with it weak
abdominal muscles, which result in
portal congestion. This portal conges-
ton interferes with stomach digestion
and with the action of the liver. The
poison destroying power Of the liver is
lessened, auto intoxication results, and
arteriosclerosis and old age come on
at much earlier day. But by keep
ing the spine flexible and the abdomi-
nal muscles strong and taut the portal
circulation is kept free, and old age is
held off.

At last the American farmer has
found a new way of raising better
crops. He has put dynamite to an
agricultural USE With dynamite he
can blast stumps and 'boulders from
his land, he can drain marsh land and
make it disable, and he can improve
the earth so by shaking 1t up and max
ing it porous that trees, grain and
vegetables grow with phenomenal ra-
pidity.
This new agricultural science has
been used extensively for only two or
three years. At first the farmer was
dubious and afraid of dynamite. He
considered it a dangerous explosive,
used only by anarchists and safe
breakers. But the more progressive
members Of the agricultural frater-
nifty tried the "new-fangled scheme"
and found it good. Crops were doubled
to the acre, trees planted in dyna-
mited ground spread their roots
through the loosened earth, drank in
the moisture and nourishment and
thrived wonderfully.
Experiments were made with corn
and other vegetables planted at the
same time in fields side by side, one
Of which had been dynamited, the
other only plowed. The product In the
dynamited ground soon outstripped
the other.
Last year 100000 American farm
ers used dynamite. This year the ex-
perts tell us 100000 farmers will use
it. knowledge is growing. Conse-
.quently a new profession has sprung
up-that of the professional blaster.
Many farmers want their fields dyna-
mited, but don't care to handle the ex-
plosive themselves. They would rath-
er employ an experienced man, skilled
in the use of dynamite, to do the work
for them, even if it does cost a little
more.
The professional blaster is a man
used to handling dynamite, who knows
how to explode it in the way that
it will do the most good and no harm.
He frequently goes about the country,
advertising his coming beforehand in
rural newspapers. Often the branches
OUT, becomes contractor and has
several crews of experienced blasters
under him, There are a great many
more young men learning agricultural
blasting in this country today than
there are learning to build aeroplanes.
Dynamite, while a dangerous explo-
sive, is not half as dangerous as most
persons think it. Handled by-a skilled
person, who is used to it and knows

The "GRAD"
SWEET coLLEelANs PROMISE DO.
MEsTIc REVOLUTION. =
New Method of DISTINGUISHING May Be
Only tho Beginning of Better Things
Vast Field for Her lngenu-
lty Is Before Her.

There's something new under the
sun, after ALL" remarked the troubled
tourist Here's woman college grad
uate who says the college woman can
devise new methods of washing the
dishes.
IF that's the case, then she's got
the helpful husband beaten a mile,
for up to the time of this new discov-
cry he has had the record for new
methods of dish-washing by the sim
pie expedient of turning the hose on
them. 1t was a quick and fairly eff
cacious way Of disposing of whole
tubful Of dishes at one fell swoop
and babe fair to revolutionize house
keeping methods. 1t was invented,
think, by man whose wife left him
to tend the fat while she took two
weeks vacation. Now, however, if the
college woman is out inventing new
dish-washing methods, mere man will
have to sidestep. His occupations
gone. I don't know what these new
DISTINGUISHING methods may be, but
my advice to bachelors is to put in
their applications at once to all senior
classes In womens colleges and try
to get wife and a new DISTINGUISHING
method at one and the same time.
AS a dish 'juggler the sweet girl
graduate ought to.lead the world.
! ut seems to. mes that the college
woman of today is going in the do
nestle field. It looks like a soft
thing for her husband. He won't have
to settle single dispute All he'll
settle will be the bills. The high cost
of living needn't worry him In the
least. Let his college wife settle that.
All he'll have to do Is to worry If he
is laid up and can't attend to his
Job. She'll go down TO the office and
settle the business for him. She'll
probably settle the blonde stenog-
rapher first, and attend to the details
later.
see that up in York state a mail
carrier was unable to deliver his let
tiers and his wife went out and cover
cd his district for him. There you
have 1t. That's just what the new
dish-washing college graduate wife is
going to do-because she can settle
everything.
If she has any doubt along about
election time that he isn't going to
vote the right way, she can promptly
lock him up and 60 out and vote for
him. If she thinks he's not up to his
usual form at cards she can keep him
at home and go take his place at the
club Saturday night. ra
'If there's to be any sitting up with
a sick friend she can do 1t for him,

how to take the proper precautions,
there is little or no danger. Anar
chists, as matter Of fact, do not use
dynamite in mountaineering, and mel.
Their do burglars use it in cracking"
safes. What they use Is nitroglyver
inc. There Is an erroneous ant
widespread impression that dyna
mite cartridge will explode If dropped
on the ground or thrown against thu
body of person. The efforts Of thu
government and the leading railroads
to perfect plans and methods fo
draining the vast area of swamp nov
covering millions Of acres Of rich
verdant soil have directed the atten
ton Of the general public toward the
importance of increasing the cult
waited area of the country.
The Importance Of any farm, coun
ty, state or nation, varies almost d.
rectly In proportion to the extent Of
its cultivated area. Many southern
states can be doubled In productive
area by proper drainage Of swamps
and clearing Of cut-over lands. The
area of swamp and cut-over lands In
this country ia greatly In excess Of
the total cultivated area. Hence any
means Of bringing these lands into
cultivable shape is of the highest i'm.
portance. W
II often happens that swamps and
marshy lands are caused by hard-pan
underneath. There is no outlet by
which the water can run Off and as
1t cannot sink into the earth 1t stands
there, rendering the land useless and
breeding disease. By using dynamite
these conditions can be removed.
The hardpan is usually only few
feet below the surface of the marsh
top soil. With an extension auger a
hole is bored to the bottom of tbs
hardpan. Into this hole several dyna.
mite cartridges are lowered and
"tamped." The top cartridge is
primed with a blasting cap.
In ditching with dynamite the first
thing done is the locating of the pro.
posed ditch. Then the width and
depth are decided on Holes are
punched at intervals Of about two
feet along the course of the center OF
the. ditch. In each of these holes
cartridge is dropped and "tamped"
in with some mud. A row of ten cart
ridges is made $50 or 200 feet long
and only the center cartridge is
primed with fuse and blasting cap.
This method of blasting, where only
the center cartridge is primed, Is
only used in damp and compact soil
