U. S. NEEDS PLATINUM;
GIVE WHAT YOU HAVE
Great Quantity of Rare Metal Is
Required by War and Navy
Departments.

Washington. u. C.-Look In your
jewel box and see if you have any plat
mum there. If so, give 1t or sell ii to
Uncle Sam, who needs ii to help fight
the war.
A great quantity of platinum is
needed by the war and navy depart
ments for certain delicate parts of the
planes and motor cars TO be used in
Americas part of the fight against
Germany.
Nothing else will take the place of
platinum in the manufacture of sui
phuric acid. so indispensable for the
making of smokeless gunpowder. In
the form of illuminate" il is used for
cartridge caps, shell fuses and de
tonators" for all sorts of projectiles,
and Hand grenades and bombs.
illuminate of mercury also is one
of the most powerful of explosives.
1t Is also one of the most sensitive,
so much so that 1t cannot be handled
with any degree of safety, except by
experts. For war use il is put in
small metal capsules, the tiniest guam
tity of which l. sufficient to start into
action the most lazy explosives load
ed In projectiles.
This country produces not more than
ten per cent of what Ii consumes in
peace times, and Russia, whose output
for many years has represented 90 per
cent of the world production, is now
mining less than one-fourth of the
quantity she supplied prior to the war.
The precious mineral which some
years ago was worth only little more
than $23 an ounce, has today market
value of over 500 an ounce.
The rarity of the metal is seen
when the worlds production since
1S43 has been less than 160 short
tons. A great bulk of this amount
was found in the Ural mountains,
where miners go after 1t by digging pits
to a depth of Is feet or more, and then
burrow, rat fashion, in every d.
rection. Fifteen pounds of platinum
Is the average yield for every % cart

PLAIN QUESTIONS TO
MADISON PEOPLE
Every Madison Reader Will Admit
the Soundness of the Logic.

Would Madison people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills as they do II the
medicine were not reliable? Would

the mind of every reader:
Dell Perry. agent Standard Oil
company, Madison, says: Il suffer
ed from pains through my kidneys
and loins. ! finally bought Doan 8
Kidney Pills at f. c. Smiths Drug
Store, and they soon fixed me up"
Over two years later Mr.. Perry
said II have taken Doan's Kidney
Pills occasionally since giving my for
mer endorsement. and they have new
er failed to give the best of results" I"
