FOOD SUPPLY OF THE FARM HOME

Much public interest has been excite d
by the recent announcement of the Unit
ed States Public Health Service, to the
effect that the development of the dis
ease known as pellagra in human beings
depends on faulty diet. Among the
suggestions of the Public Health Ser
vice for the modification of diet to pre-
vent the development of pellagra are a
number of items which emphasize the
Importance of the campaign of the de-
partmenu and the State Agricultural
Colleges to increase the production of
food supplies on the farm, especially to
bring about home supply of meat, eggs,
milk and butter. Among other specifi C
recommendations OF the Public Heal h
Service are:
(a) The ownership of a milk COW; an
increase OF milk production for home
consumption
(b) Poultry and egg raising for home
consumption.
(c) Stock raising.
(d) Diversifcation and cultivation of
food crops.
These four specifications give an ad-
ded argument for the campaign of live
stock raising and farm diversihcation,
which has been especially urged, par
ticularly for the South. 1t is quite
reasonable to presume, therefore, that
the production of the family meat supply
at the farm home will not only decrease
considerably the expense of the family
table and add somewhat directly to fami-
ly revenue as well, but will have a pro-
found effect on the health and we'll be-

THE STORY OF GLASS.
How Glass Is Made and What 1t Is Used
For In the Electrical Industry.

Glass is older than the arts. Volcanic
giass was in use IN the STONE age. Inc
Cave Men made from it arrow points,
spears, knives, ETC., because It couio De
cnipped to razor cutting edge. I'd
sldlan, or volcanic glass, was extensively
used by the Aztecs of Mexico and the
!ncas of Peru for the same purpose.
Many doughty Spanlard fell beneath
the great two-hapded wooden SWORDS
with seriated teeth of volcanic glass, IN
the hands of Montezuma's warriors: Ii
Is to be inferred that the earlier clvlllza-
ton would act on this suggestion from
nature and endeavor to make glass by
the fusion of certain rocks and sands.
Glass is very old. Its manufacture was
common in ancient times.
Chemically, any vitreOus compound Is
called glass. Commercially, glass Is
fused mixture of two or more sllicates
and is often named from the predominant
base, as "soda glass;" "potash glass, -
slime glass;" and dead glass;" 1t is
usually transparent, or at least translu-
cent, and is brittle at ordinary tempera-
lures. Sand is now generally used for
obtaining the silicates which form the
base of glass. The sand for the finer
qualities Of glass is quarried. The princi-
pal deposits of sand for glass making in
the United States are in Massachusetts,
Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
New York. Good sand, however, is
available in almost every part of the
country.
There are innumerable kinds of glass.
Some are named for their uses, as bottle
glass, mirror glass, optical glass, WIN
dow glass. Others, according to the pro-
cess of manufacture, as blown glass,
pressed glass, cast glass, cut glass,
ground glass. Others are named accord
ing to the localities from which are OBJ
tanned, as Biar, Bohemian, Murano,
Venetian or Venice and Saint Gobain
glass. Still other names are given to
glass according to finish and form, as
klnkled, corrugated, fiuted, and spun
glass. Then there Is agate, marbeized,
rose argentine, aventurine, favrlle,
bronzed, silvered and platinzad glass.
The commonest kind of glass, however,
is flint glass, and this includes all the
myriad forms of glass with the possible
exception of window and bottle glass.
Besides all these, there are stained,
painted, colored and mosaic glass.
The principal bases used for making
all glasses are, sodium, potassium, cal
cium and lead. A host of other ingredi-
ents are used in making glass, for color
ing. ETC., but these vary greatly with
the many different glass companies and
no definite information can be given as
to their use. Very often colored glass
is made ordinarily like any other glass,
the coloring being accomplished by the
addition of dyes generally metal oxides)
to the molten charge. The same metal
produces several different colors at vari-
Gus tt mperatures. More often, how
ever, colored glass is stained, painted, or
enameled, and when joined by strips of
lead to form a pattern, is called mosaic.

In the murder OF that brother.
Friends, we've sold some guns in Mexi-
Now those guns are pointed north,
And our sons are sent as targets;
Will we get our moneys worth?
Why, the men that would be needed
To subdue bandit band
Are worth more than all the treasures
Southwest of the Rio Grande.
Send the men who sell the powder
To the front to face the shell;
Then with old Tecumseh Sherman
They'll agree that "war is hell"
Must we meet the sword with sabre
To avenge brother slain?
Have two thousand years of preaching
From our pulpits been in vain?
Or shall we show our brethren
That the purposes of life
Are not for martial glory
Gained in fratricidal strife?
Let Us show each fighting war-lord
Down the line or DER the sea
That our flag, the flag of Freedom,
Waves for all humanity.
With these thoughts, again l greet you
And trust your valued time
Is not altogether wasted
Listening to this rambling rhyme.
