MUCH COTTON IN BIG SHELLS
Enormous Amount Of Material 10
Needed In the Operation Of
European BelliaerentA

Every shot fired from one Of the
ffteen-inch guns Of the British bat
tleship Queen Elizabeth, or one Of
the German or Austrian seventeen
inch mortars, means the expenditure
Of 400 pounds Of raw cotton. Cot
ton is one Of the basic ingredient;
Of all high explosives. No substi
tute can or has been found. although
German chemists are eHerting the ut.
most Of their ingenuity to provide
something that will take the place Of
the cotton boil.
II has been estimated that 1000
tons Of raw cotton are shot away cv-
cry day in the world war by the Ger
man and Austrian armies. The
charge for a German scventeen-inch
howitzer she'll, 400 pounds. would
provide ammunition for 400 shots
from a field gun or 10000 rounds
from an army rife.

THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH AND SANITATION
BY n. r. Chapman, sanitarian Of
Myndus, N. NJ.
Inspection Of City Restaurants

While inspectors Of the New
York City Board Of Health have
been busyup-state inspecting
diaries to see that the hired man
washed his hands and kept wa
ter out of the milk, and removed
the refuse of the stable a hum
dred yards from the barn, the
kitchens where food was prepar-
ed for the restaurants in the city
itself were not under supervis-
ion, and il now appears that in
some of these kitchens the help
has TO travel twelve stories on
an elevator to wash their hands.
Dirty ice Is dumped into milk
cans to cool il, and incidentally
to add the ice water to the milk.
In a restaurant where meals
cost IS cents, three spoiled lob
sters were found in preparation
for a salad. Steaks had become
tainted and were being prepared
for hamburgers, and all the
kitchens visited were swarming
with flies. OF the twenty-five
restaurants inspected one week
not a single one could be classed
as good only two classed as
fair" and twenty-three were
denominated bad"
This work is in charge of De-
putty Commissioner Brown, who
came to New York from a south
ern state, with some traditions
of efficiency behind him. He be-
lieves that II Is not enough to
see that milk is produced in san
itary conditions and unadulter-
ated when il leaves the farm.
He wants il to be clean and
wholesome and free from dirty
ice water when ii reaches the
table in our public eating houses.
II is a good work and the men
who are producing milk wish
him success.
