To Remove Adhesive Plasters.

Every one who has had occasion to
use adhesive plaster is familiar with
the line of adherent. discolored mate
rial that is left on the skin around the
edges Of the plaster when the strip is
removed This adherent substance re-
sists scrubbing with soap and all ordi
nary means Of removal. Even scrap
ing with knife fails to remove the
CRIME and sickness completely. But
few drops Of gasoline. benzine, ether
or chloroform on piece Of cloth will
remove the stain as If by magic. The
basis of adhesive plaster is rubber, and
the four substances mentioned are rub
Der solvents.-I0s Angeles News.

And help me still to say
My Lord, thy will be DONE"

OUR COAST ARTILLERY
NOW TO BE INCREASED
Full Strength Instead of Half Strength
In Peace Time Has Been
Determined.

Washington.-The coast artillery
force on duty at the Pacific will be
increased to full strength of % COM
panies, or about 1000 men, it was stat
ed recently, the former policy Of main
tanning the big crews at about half
strength in peace time having been
abandoned.
Fortifications Of the canal zone are
rapidly nearing completion Original
ly 1t was planned to man them with
IA companies, under the theory that it
was improbable that the defenses at
both ends Of the waterway would be
attacked simultaneously, and the canal
and railroad made rapid shifting of
the forces to the danger point pos
sihle. Under the general readjustment
plans Of the army full garrisons for
the canal defenses have been deter
mined upon, and it is considered GER
tain that big increase in the coast
artillery corps will be asked for when
congress reassembles, as the doubling
of the canal force will materially re-
duce the forces in territorial United
States.
