Coal Tar Of Immense Value.

Mauve, that delicate tint of the light
er colored violet-and it's chance dis
covery in aniline by Sir William Per-
kin, laid the foundation of one of the
greatest industries in the United
States today-the utilization of coal
tar, by-product of the manufacture
of Illuminating gas. Once almost a
dead waste, now it is worth millions
and millions.
This would be a cold, dreary
world" says Robert F. Livingston, edi-
tor of Gas Logic, without coal tar, y
which may be the gasman's illuminat-
ing way of putting it, but true, never
theless.

the silks and satins which milady

US the more delicate perfumes. 1t

of medicine; it soothes the nerves in
other forms. 1t even colors our food

enough, however, to get the genuine
pumpkin, it seems more "ThanksgiV-

from the start. In this case having
caught your pumpkin-a small sweet
sugar one preferred-wash, cut up
without peeling, scrape out all the
woody fiber, then put over the fire
on the back of the stove. Add just a
little water to keep it from sticking
on the bottom, cover closely and steam
gently for six or eight hours. At the

WASTE IN THE HOUSEHOLD
Buy the NonhreakabIe Kind of Uten-
siis and Then See That They
Are Well Cared For.

Brooms, scrubbing brushes and soap
are wasted needlessly. Brooms should
be hung by the handle or rested on
the handle. Scrubbing brushes should
be put to dry with the bristles down.
Soap should be kept in wire dish to
prevent dissolution by the water.
Pastry brushes and grease brushes
should be washed and rinsed as soon
as they are used, and put to dry. Old
tablecloths should be cut into squares
and hemmed to use over the table or
as screens for bread, buns or when
cooling cakes. They also make ex-
ceedingly nice window or silver cloths.
Save the salt and -four bags and use
them for green's, lettuce and parsley
that are to be put on the ice.
Furnish your kitchen, if you wish to
be truly economical, with nonbreak-
able utensils. Insist on their being
properly cared for and see that each
utensil is used for the purpose in
tended.
To prevent breakage use granite
ware plates in your refrigerator in
stead of stoneware, granite mixing
bowls instead of the old-fashioned vel
low earthen bowls and tincups for
measuring purposes. - Good House

FIRST TO BUILD TRENCHES
Romans instituted System of Field
Fortifications Which Are Used by
the Armies Today.

The Romans, who we're the f1rSt to
make a real science and art of war,
were responsible for one of the prin-
cipal features in western Europe-the
fortified frontier. This does not mean
the ordinary fortified frontier as 1t
was known up to 1914-a series or
strong fortified camps with unin-
trenched gaps between them. 1t was
in southwestern Germany that the
Romans built, as protection against
the inroads of German barbarians,
what was the prototype of the line
of trenches which today runs from
Switzerland to the North sea. And
just as the German trenches in
France and Belgium are to all intents
and purposes the frontier of the Ger
man empire, so the Roman trenches
the lines Germanicus-were part of
the frontier of the Roman empire.
The northern-known in ancient
times as the photographer or pals
ade ditch-ran from the east bank of
the Rhine, near Bonn, across the
Taurus mountains and the Main in
south to near Stuttgart. 1t consisted
of an earthen wall, with a ditch-the
trench being, of course on the out
side and the wall being the position
of the defenders The wall was topped
by a paIisade, and at intervals there
were towers-burgi-occ by
small bodies of troops, who patroled
the intervening sections of wall. At
longer intervals were stone redoubts
--castella-where larger bodies Of
guards were stationed. One of the Pc
culiarities of this frontier-which in
its details represented, of course, an
artificial boundary through what at
the time was very sparsely settled
country--was that stretch of about
fifty miles in length ran in a straight
line due north. 1t has been referred
to in English and German writings as
one of the earliest known boundaries
on the American plan.
Near Stuttgart the Pfahlengraben
meets the Teufelsmauer-the devils
wall-which was the name given in
medieval Germany to the other half
of the lines Germanicus-a rampant
of stone which extends a little south
of east till it meets the Danube at
Regensburg. There were forts at in.
tervals to strength this, and in the
main it was apparently garrisoned
much like the Pfahlengraben.

GATES TO BLACK SEA
IMPORTANT POINTS WHICH ARE
MAKING HISTORY TO-DAY.
May Again Determine tire Future OF
Europe, as They Have Done in
Gigantic Conflicts of
the Past.

With the northwestern battle thea
ter of the Turks proclaimed by the war
prophets as that where the deciding
master strokes in this most titanllke
of all struggles are to be delivered,
sketch of this remarkable regions past
prepared by Harry Griswold Dwight
for the National Geographic society is
of more than usual interest. Here the
West won its self-confidence, and this
confidence has borne fruits with splen-
did richness for longer than 1000
years. Here the course of civilization
has been changed and modified sew
eraI times, and here again today the
attention of the world is fixed in the
belief that the future Of Europe will
once more be determined by events
about to transpire. In the bulletin is
sued by the National Geographic So
ciety Mr.. Dwight tells about The Gates
to the Black Sea-
There is something alluring in
the very shape and position of these
lakes-the Black sea and the Sea OF
MISUNDERSTANDING as they do the
two most historic continents of our
globe and communicating with each
other and with the outer seas by
openings that seem miraculous. And
those landlocked waters have been
from, earliest times, as they happen
again to be today, the theater of epic
events For us of the West no
legends are older than those of Zeus
and 10, Of PhryXus and Helle, of the
which commemorate the earliest voy-
ages into the Great Lakes of the Le-
want
"Of the two, the Marmora-the Pro-
points, if you prefer to be classical
is by far the smaller. Not much more
than 100 miles long and some 40 miles
across at it's broadcast part, it is about
the same size as Lake Champaign. The
Marmora has much of the softness Of
air, vividness of color and beauty Of
scenery that we associate with the
Aegean and Ionian seas. Thread the
narrow slit of the Bosporus, however,
and you pass into an entirely different
world-sterner, barer, rocker, colder.
IF the Marmora may be compared
to Lake Champlain, the Black sea- is
about four times the size of our great
est lake. Lake Superior is 412 miles
long by 1877 wide, while the Black sea
has length of $50 miles and breadth
Of 3S5. That there is something dark
and unfriendly about it is more than
legend.
cat the moment at which l write
the fleets of France and England are
hammering at the historic gateway.
Thus the question of the Black sea-,
which is the ancient question of the
straits, is posed anew, more dramati-
cally than ever before. Is it for a
final solution? No solution can be
found the writer concludes, which
will give any one nation an absolute
right of control over the Bosporus
and the Dardanelles."

kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no

The one great difference between
the savage and civilized man is that
the former clings to the past. while
the latter is always looking to the fu-
ture. Civilizations systems of thought
and life are constantly progressing.
but the savage's systems are held sta
tionary by customs and religions of a
long past age. We are ruled by imag
nation. but the savage's world is DOM
mated by a nightmare of tradition.
