Toadskins Cure Dropsy.


 Toads have always been looked up- on as loathsome and even poisonous by country people. From the skins, how ever, of toads, quacks in the middle ages used to make all sorts of medi- cines to sell to their patients.
 The remarkable discovery has been made by Doctor Abel that the Quacks were not so far wrong as many people thought. He made study of giant tropical toad found in the river Anna. zon, and from it's skin he extracted a remarkable substance which cures dropsy.
 Of course it has long been a grand mothers remedy" to cure dropsy by means of the skin of a toad, and it was to find out if there was any truth in the remedy that Doctor Abel began experimenting. The same substance he found in this tropical species he has also found in the common toad Soon doctors will prescribe, perhaps, boiled toad and caper sauce for drop sical patients.

Travellers All!

In vain we multiply the artifices of progress. The universality of travel has made us forget it's meaning.
 To share your pleasures with all the world is to lose them. Above all, steam and gasoline have killed the spirit of adventure.
 There are very few wanderers left who are willing to take their chance of a nights lodging under the stars.

Publishers Feel Effects Of War

A commodity even so indirectly re-
lated to the demands of war as paper
is showing the prevailing tendencies
to such degree as seriously to en-
barrass publishers. The higher price
of paper stock and the difficulty in
obtaining it at all in England was d
chief factor in the discontinuance in
March of the London Daily Standard.
after a career of 60 years, for con-
siderable portion Of which it was the
most important organ of the middle
classes in England.
In America the demand for paper
has been increasing for six months, as
a result of general business activity.
At the same time supplies Used in its
manufacture have been decreased by
war conditions. and in some cases
have almost been cut off.
The supply of old rags is effected by
from the European peasantry and by
the demand for the making of gun
cotton. The chemicals used in bleach
ing the paper produced by Sulphuric
acid and alum are being devoured by
the manufacturers of explosives. while
appropriations of iute have fallen off
until the price is doubled. An en-
barge has been placed on shipments
: of wood pulp from Norway and Swe-
den, while Canada stopped access to
her vast resources some time ago.
The newspaper publisher is. indeed.
, hard hit by war conditions in many
other items of supplies besides the
basic one of paper stock. Virtually
everything going into the manufac-
! ture of daily newspaper has in
creased in price from 10 to 80 per
cent.-inks. owing to the advance in
the cost of acids and dyes. from 300 to
5000 per cent; type, owing to the
higher cost of lead. tin and anthony
even the rubber and felt blankets
wrapped around the press rollers add
their quota TO the increased 'cost-of-
living" of the metropolitan daily

Potash From Cement Dust

An important and profitable indus
try is springing up in the cement
works of Western Maryland. Potash
is being produced in paying quanti-
ties from cement dust, which has here
tofore been a waste and nuisance.
The Security Cement and Lime Corn
pany. whose plant is near Hagerstown,
has equipped its plant with machinery
necessary to produce the potash, which
ranges from to 10 per cent of the
dust. Of the remaining proportions
a large percentage is lime, which is
valuable as a fertilizer. 1t is also a
by-Droduct which promises to become
valuable.
Since the blockade of Germany the
importation of potash has practically
ceased. There has been a countrywide
search for the much-needed articles. 1t
was thought that the sea-weed of the
Pacific Ocean would yield potash in
paying quantities, and while there was
a Weld it was not enough to supply
the demand. In the past the United
States has paid tribute to Germany
to the extent of S20,000,OOO annually
for potash, so necessary is it for en-
riching the soil especially in the cot
ton-growing districts of the South.
Since the imports ceased serious con-
ditions have arisen in the fertilizer
trade.
The latest discoveries which prom
Use to free the United States from the
dominance of Germany in regard TO
this valuable product came about acct
dental,y, as have many other import
ant discoveries. a great cement mill
in the oranges growing regions Of Cali
fornia was sending tons OF dust daily
into the air, the winds carrying the
dust and depositing it on the orange
groves. much to their detriment.
When the owners protested the cement
mill men began buying in the nearest
groves at $1,000 an acre, but finally
had to give this up as being too eXpen-
sive. Suits We're filed and injunctions
asked. About this time the attention
of the cement mill owners was at
tracted to an invention of DR.. F. G.
Cottrell for the precipitation of dusts
from smelter fumes.
From the discovery in California
the Maryland cement producers got
their ideas and are now developing
them.
