THE GERMAN WOUNDED

Berlin, Feb. 9. (By wireless to Say
vile, L. ID
The Germans are terrifcally syste
matte about their care of the wound
ed. All their men found on the bat
tlefeld receive a "first aid dresslng."
Each is tagged with card, which in
dicates whether he is badly hurt or
not. From the battlefield the wound
ed men are gotten back to the field
hospitals or to headquarters. A man
NAV be badly wounded and yet be
back on the firing line in three
months. Good pure blood is what
helps the soldier through-hls wounds
heal easily after anticeptic dressings.
1t is veil for everybody to put the
blood in good order. Don't trif1e with
health! It's too precious possession.
It is trifing to neglect the little
EVERYDAY kind of ailments. 1t is
trihinp, too, to take medicines of un-
known or doubtful ingredients. If
your stomach gets out of order, your
| food is not digested and, of course,
| your blood gets thin and you become
weak, ready to be a prey to the dis
ease germs always ready to attack
the rundown and the anaemlc. If
your liver can't do its work, your
blood becomes impure and many trou-
bles follow. If your bowels are lrreg-
ular, poisons accumulate in your

New Method of Laying Mines.

Ah INES have always been laid IN the
"0o sea by vessels especially equipped
for that purpose. The warning powers
of Europe have built submarines to
kill, and destructive engines of war
fare they have proved TO be.
The Germans have recently utilized
submarines for mine laying. That re
port has not been rife long, but as far
as any one can Learn it is authentic
Laying mines by this means would nor
be impossible, and il is very proba Bile
that it is being done in war zone waters
today. The mines themselves are ear
ried on the submarine. A hollow, air
tight compartment contains the mines
the chamber, or compartment, is verti-
cal and the mines are placed one above
the other in the Enclosure. The sub
marine then sallies forth with its
death dealing load.
When the area designated for the
mines is reached and a mine is to be
laid the mine layers let water into the
chamber. The door, which seals the
bottom of the chamber, is in the eA-
terror she'll of the submarines hull
This door is opened and one after
another the mines are liberated from
their submarine prison. They are not
simply dropped into the ocean as one
might drop a stone; placing them prop
erly takes care and skill and special
appliances.
Each mine has its anchor which goes
to the bottom. The so-called anchor
age cable" is manipulated in such
way that it allows the mine to float
from its anchor at a certain specified
depth below the top of the water.
The complete secrecy insured by mine
laying in this method would appeal
particularly TO any belligerent, because
the more secret mine laying can lie
kept, the more perilous it is to the

we can figure. about one-third of the
boy population of America cherishes
the big bridge building or house erect
ing ideal, while the girls are learn
ing how to cook on practical stoves
or to make dolls clothes on miniature
sewing machines.
The most wonderful advantage OF
the made in America toy movement
is that it has vvified the mag ination
of American children and turned it into
useful channels
Until the war broke, practically all
of the leaden soldiers made came from
the hands of the Bavarian toymakers.
Lead is needed in Germany now for
more sinister things. The leaden sol
diers are made in England today. and
they are made of composition tin: Thelr
uniforms are the scarlet and white OF
England and the blue and red Of
France The German toy soldier. so far
as America is concerned, is thing OF
the past.
Some idea of the decrease in impor-
tations of toys to this country may be
reports of the Department of Com :
merce relative to United States trade
with Germany. The report of the de-
partment for September shows that in
1914 s304,143 worth of dolls and Slla.-
al worth of other toys were sent to
the United States. while the same
month for 1915 shows importations OF
the first class to amount to only $21I,-
s09, and of the second S95.l0S.
Curious stories, told in dollars and
cents-stories as mutely tragic as the
lurid descriptions which have been
scattered far and wide-come from the
countries which send Christmas ships
to America. In Belgium. for example.
doll ma king has increased almost ten
fold, although the total supply is but a
drop in the bucket of this nation
wants. In 1914 Belgium sent s66S
worth of dolls to this country, while
this year she has sent s6,oS5. But in
all other lines, lines requiring skilled
workmanship she has fallen far be
hind Where she exported S69,092
worth of toys other than dolls in 1914,
she has this year sent out only S22. 531.
France. too. has fallen far behind in
the manufacture of toys. Her exporta :
lions to America have fallen in one
year nearly $4,000 In dolls alone she
has dropped from S122S6 to $3.50.
Incidentally, the departments figures
dissolve into thin air the idea of many
that the world of dolls revolved about

the same period $1,791,913 worth.
Austria Hungary. never heavy ex-
porter because of her geographical po-
sition, records a tremendous slump in
her doll and toy market. Her dolls
have always been the curiously dressed
carved wooden figures made by the
peasants of the eastern provinces. Their
total value in 1914 was estimated by
the Department of Commerce at S4,592.
one year of war has reduced the sup
ply to a total estimated value of $S05.
A decrease of about 100000 is noted in
all other toys from the land of Francis
Joseph.

1915 is from Ireland. The total. valua-

But the miniatures of death dealing
apparatus will play only a small part
in Christmas this year, compared with
the toys which are included in the

makers have embodied in some of their
most popular toys the essential Ameri-
can idea of utilitarianism. Thanks to
this idea, children may play and at the
same time learn something of prac-
teal chemistry; they may construct
toy bridges, hosting cranes and scat
folding. and at the same time absorb

The need of doing your Christmas
