USE OF LEISURE TIME
A FACTOR IN SUCCESS.
Time Not Spent In Working, Eating
or Sleeping May Determine
Efficiency.

"How do you spend your leisure
time?" is the question which appears
on the application blanks for employ
ment in some of the largest business
houses today. To some this may seem
an unnecessary intrusion on the pri-
vate life of the individual, but the way
in which a worker utilizes the interval
between 5 and 6 p. m. and 8 or 8 a. m.,
as well as his holidays and Sundays,
has an important bearing on his eff
cheney. Dull heads and unsteady
hands, which are often the by-products
of misused leisure hours. are distinct
liabilities in any work, whether It bel
mechanically routine or of the sort
that requires judgment and adapta-
bility.-IndastridI Conservation. Neao

Antiquity of the Safety Pin.

That the Hittites were in constant
communication with the other nations
is shown by the fact that Egyptian
scarabs and amulets, Phoenician pot
terry, Greek terra Gotta figures are
found in the tombs of different periods.
Bronze daggers and jewelry are fairly
common, and Woolley proudly showed
me a safety pin, 5000 years old, that
would still work. Some stone-age pot
terry, with the very ancient emblems of
thunder, or of the weather god, was
found in its original kiln.-Christian

A druggist at Santander, U. S. of

NEED FOR LOYAL WORKERS.
Men Who VII Exert Best Efforts to
Help Win War.

1t would be impossible to overesti-
mate the Importance of labor in its re-
lation to the war, and the necessity for
every workingman to give his best eff
forts In order not to handicap the gov
eminent in its work of carrying the
war to a successful termination.
The loyal American workingman
may be depended upon to do his full
duty If he is not led by the mistaken
policies of his leaders to do the things
which his own conscience and his own
reason tell him are wrong.-TndustsI01

HOW TO SAVE A BILLION A YEAR.
Cooperation Between Wage-Earner
and Wage-Payer VIII Save
an Enormous Loss.

There is an estimated waste of a
billion dollars annually in industry in
the United States, due to labor trou-
bles. This billion dollars could better
be employed to the advantage of both
the man who hires and the man who
is hired. Capital car gain no advan-
tage by fighting labor, and labor can
gain no advantage fighting cTs%tal.
The result of the battle is always an.
expensive draw.
On all sides, however, are to be-
found evidences that both parties have
begun to realize the futility Of endless

The laboratory at the Army Medical

cient typhoid and paratyphoid vaccines
to inoculate every mar in the army.
Throughout the process Of making
the vaccine is guarded against any con-
tamination.. 1t is then stored in sealed
vessels In locked refr~igerators, to
which only the two officers in charge
have keys, and none of these vessels
is yer moved, except in company Of
one of the officers. In more than six
months of large-scale production not
q trace Of contamination has been
found.
One of the tests of the vaccines in
cludes the incubation Of q mouse, q
guinea pig, and a rabbit. If too much
tricresol "a coal-tar product used as a
preservative and to kill the bacilli)
had been added, the mouse would be
killed. Should tetanus germs be pres
ent, both the mouse and the guinea pig
would be killed. With the emulsion
correct, as it must be to be used, no
animal Is killed, and the guinea pig
and rabbit are not visibly affected by
the incubation.

There is In the country from two to
three years supply of whisky, brandy,
and gin which may be Communicated
by the government if required for pur-
poses of manufacture of alcohol for
munitions. The requirements for in
dustrial alcohol, however, in addition
to the normal output from sawdust and
other waste products, is negligible.
The deslrability of saving all the grain
used in brewing from the standpoint
Of food conservation is therefore linn
tied by the social question involved in
the exclusive use of whisky.
The president has approved the rec
ommendation of the food administra-
ton that the alcoholic content of beer
be reduced to a 8 per cent maximum
and the volume of grain used be re-
duced to approximately 70 per cent
of that formerly used. Provisions are
made to increase the output of cattle

FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

The materials necessary for the
construction of an evaporator of the
simplest type are few feet OF
three-fourths-inch stock, nails, and
cheese cloth. The four upright sup
ports are connected by horizontal bars
on which rest trays easily removed.
These trays must be far enough apart
TO permit of free circulation of air
The trays are open wood frames
covered with cheese cloth.
If the upright supports are tipped
with nails the rack may rest on the

ing the rack under the glass of hot
