FOR CONSERVING HEAT IN
STEAM PIPES

An excellent covering FOR steam
pipes may be made from materials
that are almost always available.
Take some fine savdust and screen
il through a sieve % remove any for
eign bodies. Prepare a thin paste
Of -four and water. and mix the saw
dust thoroughly with this paste.
With a small trowei. the mixture so
prepared should be applied in about
five coats TO the steam pipes while
they are slightly warm. Each coat
should be thoroughly dry before the
next is applied. If the steam pipes
are in an exposed situation. three or
four coats Of coaltar should be APP
piled after the paste has dried; il
inside a building. this Waterproof
ing is unnecessary. Steam pipes
treated with the sawdust as above
lose very little heat.-February Pop

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Rome.--Italy is at war with Germany.
Declaration OF hostilities was made
by Italy. Following information that
IL reached the imperial German gov
eminent through Switzerland, an
nouncement OF the governments ac-
ton was made. The intolerable situ-
alton created by the fact that Italy was
at war with Germany's ally and the
fact that Germany loaned all possible
support to that ally. Austria-Hungary,
against Italians and their interests, led
the government to its decision. That
decision was made public in the fol.
lowing announcement:
The Italian government declares In
the name OF the king that Italy con
siders herself TO be Ia state OF war
with Germany as from August 2s and
begs the Swiss government TO convey
this information 10 the imperial Ger.
man government"
The complete cessation OF all com.
munication between Italy and Ger
many brought about by the Austro-
Italian war. made II necessary for
Italy to convey through Switzerland
her declaration of war TO Germany.
II is believed here that Roumania.
with which nation Italy long has had
an entente. will follow the Italian gov
eminent with declaration OF war
against the Central Powers and their
allies.
