People of Haiti Treasure Packing
Boxes and Above All. Tin

Haiti is one country where almost
everything is utilized, particularly if
the substance be wood or tin. Lumber
is $50 per thousand, and any substi-
tute for it is eagerly welcomed.
For instance. partition fence be-
longing to some well-to-do people on a
prominent street is made of the tops,
bottoms and sides of packing boxes
that contained cans of condensed milk !;
two doors farther on is fence made
of old barrel slaves; and q combina-
ton of barrel slaves and packing-b box
strips for fencing is by no means I'M
common.
Tin cans, with the solder melted off
and the tops and bottoms removed, are
4f1attened out and used as shingles, in
sinending fences, patching holes, and
for numerous other purposes.
The fsye-gallon Oil cans, however.
are priced and cherished family pos
sessions. These cans have regular
market value of Is to 20 cents gold.
1t is no unusual occurrence for q wom-
an to buy a fye-gallon can of kero-
sene. hoist 1t to her head, and tramp
all day peddling the Oil in small guam
tities-at cost, IL she can do no bet

tin.
These receptacles are used for car
Tying water, boiling clothes and stor-
ing and cooking food.
The tins in which five pounds of lard
come have a value of ten cents gold,
and are standard measure, known
locally as mantle" They are used
as dry measure generally for corn,
beans, salt and the like.
Even the square tins in which
matches are shipped are sold at Eve to
ten cents each.

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkha1n Medi-
cine Co.

Women who are well often ask "Are
the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?" "Are they truthful r"
"Why do women write such letters Z"
In answer we say that never have VIC
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham s Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once hurdened with pain and suffering.
1t has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ills, from dis
placements. Inflammation, liberation,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
1t is impossible for any woman who
is well and who G55@S5SS

She can expect no mercy at the hand OF
her conquerors If the Germans, Aus
trians and Bulgars sweep through her
barriers. Her act in joining the wal
has been regarded at the capitals Of the
central powers as treacherous. The
most intense bitterness prevails toward
Rumania today, and if Russia cannot
stiffen her lines and hold back her foes
she will be swept away.
Strategically the elimination Of Ru-
mania would net the central powers
nothing of positive advantage over the
situation as it prevailed before Rumania
entered the war. It would, in fact, some
what lengthen the actual lines Of enemy
contact. by the distance of the Ruma-
MAN Russian boundary. Negatively,
however, it would be an advantage in
closing a possible short cut by Russia
into Turkey. Economically it would
be advantageous for the central powers
in giving them possession of the fertile
lands and valuable mineral resources of
Rumania.

Citations might readily find opportunity
for administrative work in the securing
and utilization Of these plots. The cul-
tivation Of these spaces would in NO de-
gree mar the appearance Of the city.
A well kept vegetable garden would be
much more attractive to the eye than
the refuse strewn lot awaiting pur-
chaser. Such scheme would require
organization and system. Probably
through the associations would it be best
conducted. If during the winter can
vass were made by each association Of
all the available space which might be
secured for garden purposes, and list
of all people desirous of cultivating
small gardens were prepared, by plant
ing time probably several hundred peo-
pie would be in position to start this
work with the result of not only help
full contribution to the family table at
low rates, but healthful occupation for
great number.
Every vacant lot is potentially a
waste. and its cultivation is an economic
duty. Washington should put these
spaces to work, not merely to relieve an
immediate market condition, but as a
permanent enterprise until the spaces
are needed in the development of the
city.

An Armor-Piercing Rife Bullet.

A new army bullet is reported to have
been developed and lately tested at
Sandy Hook, which does some surpris-
ing things. In appearance it is like the
ordinary ammunition, but its popularity
consists in the fact that while the body
of it is made of steel it is encased in
covering Of lead. This is reversal
of principle of missile making, rifle am
munition heretofore in recent years be-
ing made of lead core with steel
jacket. The purpose of the lead jacket
is to serve as a lubricant on striking
steel plate, the covering being ripped
from the projectile as it passes through
any solid obstruction. In the tests at
Sandy Hook these bullets were fred
through sheets of steel three-quarters of
an inch in thickness, at a range of fifty
yards. 1t is believed that this ammuni-
tion will be especially valuable in action
against armored motor cars or against
troops hiding in houses, and in certain
kinds of trenches. Officers who have
witnessed the Sandy Hook tests declare
that this bullet would be effective
against such devices as the British
"tanks" lately employed on the Somme
front in France. Thus the eternal con-
fict between armor and projectile con-
tinues.

Stumping and Stumpers.

Mr.. Hughes is described as in fine
fettle for his last swing around the
circle. His spirits are high. He has
fallen in love with stumping. The
cheering crowds, and the great interest
manifested by both men and women
serving on reception committees, ap-
peal to him strongly. His voice tires
occasionally, but never the man. He is
always ready for action.
That was very sharp and extreme
change from the quiet of the court
room to the huIabaloo of the hustings
Six years before, it is true, Mr.. Hughes
had had some experience as a spell
binder, but principally in a local way.
Canvassing New York state had not been
a marker" to what he was now con-
fronting. The whole country was be-
fore him where to choose, and he must
choose judiciously; and after choosing
he entered Immediately on the blare and
excitement Of a national campaign.
We see in this the lure of the stump,
and from this can appreciate the hold
it at. once established and has since
maintained on Mr.. Bryan. He was but
thirtysix when he sprang at a bound
into national leadership, and his stump
ing days on a national scale began
Young, handsome, eloquent and emo
tional, he was the very man and at the
very age for the excitement of travel
and the thrills of popular applause. He
took to the life like duck to water. It
was his element; and he has not since
left it, and never will leave it. The
chances are that when he quits the
earthly scene-and everybody wishes
that time distant-he will leave some
speaking engagements untitled.
And there is Mr.. Roosevelt-another
Bryan for energy, and for the enjoy
ment of all that goes with travelling
from place to place and stirring up the
"boys." He knows the trick, and turns
it with ease. Not eloquent after the
Bryan order, but often more effective
with an audience, Mr.. Roosevelt would
fade away under a sentence Of quiet and
inactivity. Like Mr.. Bryan, he has be-
come sort of stump topper. He must
have his allowance Of excitement if only
to steady his nerves.
Well, what better country than this
great country for the accommodation of
men Of this attractive sort7 There is
elbow-room to begin with. One rolls
with ease. everywhere, surrounded by all
the comforts of home The people
everywhere are hospitable, and particu-
larly to the visitor who brings an inter-
esting message and knows how to de-
liver it. Long live stumping! When
stumpers fail to please we shall be on
the down grade, and not far from the
bottom.
