BERLIN. Nov. 23.-(By MALL
Germany's latest scientific contri.
button to war IL electrically heated
underwear. The inventors are Max
Beck, professor of technical cleo
tricity. University OF Innsbruck, and
lieutenant OF engineers: and Prof.
Won Schrotter of the University OF
Vienna. The electrically heated un-
derwear Is made of non.conducting
material interviewer with q system
OF fine wire. For each series OF
trenches 1t Is necessary to install
on electrical plant. from which con-
Quoting wires are carried. When
a soldier feels cold. all he has to do
Is connect up his underwear with
the current wires. The garment
cfrers special facilities for warm
ing the hands merely by rAacine
them In the pockets OF the trousers.
One possible danger Of the electric
ally heated underwear Is a short
circuit. but the inventors are con-
fdent they have practically elm
mated this possibility by secret
system. As now perfected 1t will
be possible for soldiers to warm
themselves with this electrical cloth
ing In trenches about 400 feet In
front of the electrical plant; In iso-
lated advance posts. the underwear
may be warmed l.500 feet away. A
transformer located in the trenches
regulates the degree Of warmth.
A full wired pair Of drawers
weighs less than two pounds and
costs only $50. They will be ex-
tensively used on the Russian front
this winter.

SANITARY STUFF
NOLONGER FADS,
BUT NECESSITIES

No Industry in this country has
advanced with more rapid strides
during the past few years than that
connected with the manufacture OF
sanitary products. A tremendous
awakening. stimulated by the propa-
ganda OF health boards and kindred
organizations and the activity OF the
government bureaus, has brought
the people to realize the necessity
OF health-protection, and as a result
sanitary cups, paper towels, liquid
soap, etc, are no longer looked upon
as mere novelties, but are Insisted
upon by the public as extremely vi
tai factors In the nationwide fight
for more healthful living conditions
II has been a matter OF education
developing with remarkable rapidity
until, nowadays, few public build
ings, schools. hotels or homes, even.
are without these products.
Pioneer In this line is the Amer'.
can Sanitary Products Co., which
has been actively engaged In for
warding the cause OF sanitation for
a number of years. This Arm is the
only one In this country offering an
absolutely complete and rigidly
guaranteed line Of articles for the
maintenance OF sanitary and clean
ly conditions everywhere. They are
prepared to OFFER every facility in
aiding you to solve the various prob
lens OF hygiene and sanitation
which so often present themselves
and solicit an opportunity for ser
vice along these lines.

HAGEN SAYS.

London.-The Copenhagen CORE
spondent OF the Daily Mail asserts
that Baron Burian, the Austro-Hun-
garian foreign minister, at his recent
meeting with the German emperor
drew a doleful picture Of the plight of
the dual monarchy and said the time
had arrived for the Germanic powers
to consider most seriously the posi-
bilities for a tolerable peace.
The Daily Mail attaches great i'm
portance to the dispatch.
The dispatch says:
From a most trustworthy and we'll.
Informed source in Berlin | received
the following statement regarding the
negotitions between the German
statesmen and Baron Burian, who re-
Gently visited the German chancellor
In Berlin, and Emperor William at
the army headquarters in France.
Baron Burian, whose sole object
1t is to save what can be saved of the
dual monarchy, represented to the
Germans that the situation in Austria
is most precarious and that if the
Russian advance on Budapest is not
stopped the effect may very probably
be the downfall of Austria and the
complete collapse Of Hungary, which
must later entail as a logical sequence
also the downfall of Germany.
