cure for gravel and stone In the blad-

this amount 10 satisfy the demands
OF the British public: also because Mrs.
Stevens would not take a penny less
for her secret.
The ingredients as revealed by Mrs.
Stevens were as follows: "Eggshells,
snails Cshells and ALI. hips and haws,
ash keys, swine cress and various 9th.
er vegetables all burned 10 a cinder.
and the ash mixed with camomile
flowers and fennel and other vege
tables"
Curiously enough. when this high
priced prescription was made public 1t
Immediately lost it's potency-and its
popularity. New cases failed TO re-

had been cured while It's mysteries

GOVERNMENT FREE SEEDS.
Every Taxpayer Helps Pay for Them

Every Taxpayer Helps Pay for Them
Every publishing company in the Unit
ed States would like, no doubt, to receive
several pounds of fine paper free from
the national government, or every smok-
er ten excellent cigars from the same
source, and they would be quite as much
entitled to them as are the gardeners
and agriculturists to the free seeds given
them each year at the expense of the
taxpayers in the United States.
In 1915, the sum of 1857 900 is to be
given away in free seeds, and in many
cases this money will probably go as in
the past to people long since dead, or at
least removed from the address given
on the mailing list. In the United
States about 100000 people are en-
gagged in agriculture, and so are, perhaps,
glad to contribute toward free seed con-
tribution, but how about the other S.
100000 who happen to have no interest
in agricultural For what possible rea-
son should they be asked to contribute
toward giving farmers something for
nothing?
Another Aspect.
But there is still more important as
pect of the case. In every city or town
of Importance are seedsmen who supply
goods of quality at fair profit, and
are not only ,reat convenience, but a
positive necessity, especially to the sub
urbanite without time to 90 in for seed
raising himself. Now the whole years
business in the seed trade is practically
over in the two months of spring, and
the profits from this business must carry
the dealer through the entire year. This
fact in itself makes the seed business
very difficult TO handle, surely without
the government stepping in TO hand out
free seeds TO anyone who asks for them
at just the time when a scotsman is
counting on proper trade to keep him
going.
Is il that Uncle Sam doesn't seem to
consider the welfare of few seedsmen. |
as compared with large number CT
votesy Senator Jones and Congressman
Smith like fayors to hand out, perhaps, |
and it is easier to hold position by pat |
ronage and promises than il is to d rtnd |
on actual ability II is such p ''
matter 20 pat Farmer Brown on III D.,
and promise a large package of Sc, Is,
ability requires, unfortunately, brains,
and brains are limited.
The most extraordinary part of all this
is the fact that these free seeds are all !,
bought abroad. That is, the 1857 900
taken from the pockets Of the taxpayers
TO be given as presents to people who
ordinarily would refuse to accept some
thing for nothing is all to be spent
abroad. The next distribution OF free
seeds, aggegating a. tons, has been con.
traeted for from an English frml Thus
all this large sum is not only to be given
away in presents to small part OF the
community, but the seeds which might
have been bought at home from our own
seedsmen are to be bought abroad.
This disgracefnl free distribution Of
free seeds has been too long ignored and
the voice Of protest loud should have
been raised years ago in order TO help
reform, in at least a small degree, this
waste which SO vitality affects the honest
conduct Of ordinary b. ,iness

NAVAL GUN VIBRATION.
eoad,tions on a Warship When Heavy
Firing 10 In Progress.

Conditions on Warship when Heavy
Firing 10 In Progress.
The average civilian has a very
vague idea as to the conditions inside
q turret on a war vessel while heavy
firing is going on.
The greatest force Of the vibra ton
from the firing of a gun is naturally
Just outside the muzzle, and that Is
outside the turret SO terrific is this
vibration that if severe precautions
were not taken the deck under the
muzzle would be ripped to pieces,
sheet iron doors would be wrenched
from their hangings and skylights
shattered. To guard against these eff
fects the deck under the gun muzzie Is
REINFORCED With steel plates about an
inch thick and skylights are taken OF
and replaced with coverings of armor
plate.
or course a very considerable roar
and jar are felt inside the turret Men
who are looking for the refinement Of
precaution recommend that gunners
wear shoes with rubber cushioned
soles and heels TO lessen the jar on the
deck
The afr vibration. due either to firing
in ones own or some other turret, has
caused many cases of gun deafness.
To stuff the ears with cotton wool Is,
of course, the commonest expedient
followed by men and officers alike
There is also what is called the Cheat
ham device. consisting OF mixture OF
clay and wool. II is very flexible, can
be nodded TO any ear and still allows
It's wearer to hear orders.
Gun deafness may come Immediately
as a result of ruptured ear drum or
gradually owing 10 an injury 10 the
auditory nerve.-London Answers.
