HARD TIMES IN THE SOS
People Learned to Practice Economy
In the Period Following the
Civil War

The mother who had five little chill
dren to look after during the hard
times that followed the Civil war, was
talking about the high prices which
the European conflict is causing.
People will weather 1t in some
way" she said I'VE did in the Civil

How did we do It? Why, in every
possible way. | remember | utilized
salt bags to make underclothes for my
girls. The salt bags in those days were
of stouter, better material than they
are today, and, as I'd always been
thrifty and saved EN- all, they came
in pretty handy, | can tell you. The
girls were not fond of sitting down
when they had their saltbag undergar-
ments on, for they said there were so
many seams that it hurt to sit down.
Il made white skirts for them all

skirts. They were pretty full in those
days. | found could get along with

THE boys wore 'hard-time suits,

material, and they looked Just as
cheap and slimsy as they were. But

"Appetizer" for Vegetables.

Not fertilizer but an appetizer for
vegetables is supplied by the radioac.
tive earth taken from the refuse OF the
carnotite mines of Colorado and
sowed at the rate of fifty to one hun
dred pounds per acre in order to in
crease crops from 10 to 105 per cent
over plots treated in precisely the
same way, except for the addition Of
the radium earth. DR.. ii. ii. Rusby.
Dean of the Columbia College OF Phar.
macy has published his report in the
Journal of the New York Botanical
garden. This carnotite earth must
emit rays of a different kind from
those .of ordinary earth, which is 20
times as radioactive. 1t would be well
worth the time of scientists skilled in
separating the alpha, beta. and gamma
rays of radioactive substances to find
out which kind best stimulates plant
growth.

TURPlNITE IS LITTLE USED
AsphyxIating Shells Have Been Found
to Have Small Effect In the
Open Field.

AT the beginning of the war a great
deal was said about the newly-discov.
cred turpinite shells, which, 1t was
asserted, would kill by asphyxiation
all living creatures within a certain
radius. Since then surprise has often
been expressed why little or no use of
this wonderful explosive has been
made by the French artillery. There
are reasons to explain its nonemploy-
ment
In the first place, turpinite shells
have little effect in the open field
They can only be usefully fired
against inclosed spaces, forts or
dwellings. And so long as the enemy
is on French or Belgian soil the risk
to French or Belgian civilians would
be too great to justify the use of tur-
pinite in the bombardment of towns
and villages. Moreover, the new ex-
plosive can only be used with special.
ly constructed guns Of most delicate
machinery. Used with the ordinary
"seventy-fives" its danger would be
almost as great to the French gunners
as to the enemy.
The speculation now will be
whether turpinite will come into its
own If Germany is invaded and its
fortresses are bombarded.
