USE GAS TO PRESERVE FOOD
French Process Is Especially adapted
for Mix Powder-operation
Declared Simple.

A method has lately appeared in
Europe for preserving various food or
other products, and especially milk
powder, the idea being based upon
placing the substance in a sealed YES
sci or packing case with inert gas, so
that this latter prevents the usual
spelling of contents by the action of
the air. In the French patented
process, the milk powder is packed in
metal boxes of convenient size which
are entirely sealed except for a pin
hole that is left at the top. A number
of such boxes is put in a chamber
and the air is exhausted by means of
an air pump. When this operation is
finished, valves are opened which al
low nitrogen. to enter the chamber and
fill up the several boxes. Then, open
ing up the chamber, the boxes are
quickly removed and the pin hole sold
cred before an appreciate amount OF
air has time to enter. In this way the
contents of the boxes are kept in an
atmosphere of inert gas, and the
process is most practical from an in
dustrial standpoint.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

New ocean steamship Line.

According to an announcement
which was made recently at Madrid,
a new steamship line is about to be
established between Spain and the
United States. The plans call for
steamers to ply directly between Vigo
and New York. King Alfonso, it is
said, has given the enterprise his sup.
port and New York capitalists are fur
nishing financial backing. The new
line will provide a shorter route be-
tween the two countries than any now
in operation. The distance is a little
more than $500 miles. While the com
merce and industry of Spain are feel
ing indirectly depressing effects of the
war. the commercial awakening of
that country which has been in prog
ress for some time has not been mate
rally checked and steady advance
ment is being made along various
lines.

STUDENTS GOT THEIR MEAL
Chinese Ambassador Furnished II to
Sons Of Mandarins, Though Not BY
Any Means Willingly.

An amusing anecdote of the first
week of the war IS told by Herbert
Adams Gibbons in his new book,
Paris Reborn" The wards of the
Chinese government studying in Paris,
mostly the sons Of mandarins, accord
ing to Mr.. Gibbons. finding them selves
suddenly destitute of funds, applied to
their ambassador and their consulate
in vain.
Finally as a last resort 60 hungry
students literally forced their way
into the embassy, devoured the appe-
thing meal which had already been
served in expectation of his excel
lency and ended by raiding the pantry.
While they were thus occupied the
ambassador returned, but being told
by the concierge what was happening
inside he decided that prudence was
the better part of valor. Accordingly
he retired to a nearby restaurant and
telephoned to the police.
There is nothing a Partisan enjoys
better, even a Partisan gendarme, says
Mr.. Gibbons, than a good joke. He
reports that the police did not go at
their task very ~strenuously, adding,
however, that in the end it took more
than words to get the students out.

An officer now back on the firing
line in Flanders writes to say that not
long ago he managed to get a short
furlough to visit his family. Natural.
ly there was much rejoicing in the
house. But the parlor maid had been
expecting her sweetheart back from
the trenches about the same time, and
at the last minute a letter came ex-
planning that leave could not be got.
The girl went about the place look
ing so woebegone that the sight of
her was too much for the officers six
year-old daughter. Suddenly the child
rushed up to her father where he sat
snugly beside the fire.

sweetheart hasn't come. Please give
her a kiss so that at least she will

Found Roman AmphItheater.

A Roman amphitheater has been
discovered during the construction of
a railway from Rome to Naples. The
building had been first buried in its
W debris and later by a volcanic
eruption of unknown date. Recently
the Minister Barzilai, accompanied
by Professor Spinazzola and others,
was taken to see the ruins, and was
able to descend the upper range of
steps. There were also to be seen
the upper apertures of entrances and
exits and pieces of the beams which
had supported the awnings. Frag-
ments of silded and colored stucco
were a proof of the once magnificent
decorations of the edifice. From the
steps a fine view was obtained of Poz-
zuoli, once the port of ancient Rome,
so rich that she could boast of two
amphitheaters. The one just found
is the older in date and evidently the
glorious.

OF DRAFT

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous and the result is Neuralgia,
Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles, or sometimes
an attack of Rheumatism. In such
cases apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t slim
ulates circulation to the sore and pain
full part. The blood flows freely and in
a short time the stiffness and pain
leaves. Those suffering from Neuralgia
or Neuralgia Headache will find one or
two applications of Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agoniz-
ing pain gives way to a tingling sen
sation of comfort and warmth and
quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good
for Neuritis, too. Price 25c, at your

and SOW to oats or later to sor-

Missouri is one of the chief

Springfield, Pierce City, Ash

The greatest lead mines in the
world are located in st. Fran

more lead than any foreign
country or any other state in the
Union.
Coal is mined in 80 counties
extending from the Iowa to the
Kansas State line. The beds
vary from IS to 60 inches thick,
and the total output per year is
about 100000 tons valued at
$1,000 900.
The biggest zinc producing
region of the world centers at
Joplin, Jasper county. The ores
are noted for their purity. There
are about 700 zinc mines in this

MERCHANTS SHOULD NOT
ADVERTISE ON FENCES
Farmers Read Newspapers Now
adays, Says ]. B. Powell
of M. IT.

"a farmer has as much right
to paint a sign that he has but
ter and eggs for sale on the
front window of the best store
in town as the merchant has to
paint his signs all over the farm
er's barns and front yard
fences" was the statement of
y. B. Powell, instructor in adver-
Using at the University of Mis-
souri, at Columbia in a speech be-
fore the Comemrcial Club of
Hannibal recently.
Mr.. Powell said that merchants
should cease the use of this
primitive form of advertising
for farmers are now reading
newspapers. He told of several
cases where ornamental con-
crete bridges on good roads have
been practically ruined from the
standpoint Of beauty through
the painting of signs by mer-
chants in nearby towns. He said
that this kind of advertising
would never get any business
from the farmers who put up
the money to build the roads and
the bridges.
"You will not find any mail
order house signs on the sides
of barns or on fences, but you
may find the name of the mail
order house on the shipping tags
that brought these articles to
the farmers home. Mail order
houses respect the farmers in
telligence by sending him an at
tractively printed book from
which to order merchandise. No
wonder they get the farmers
confidence and business" Mr..
Powell declared.
