MAKE FUEL FOR SOLDIERS.
Newspaper and Paraffin the Materials for
Manufacturing "Ration Heaters"

Washington, Oct 22-The Nationa
Geographic society issues the following
bulletin on the value of converting ole
newspapers and candle ends into fue
and gives the most approved method Of
home manufacture of these invaluable
ration heaters for soldiers;
I'm Italy and France, women and chill
dren are rolling old newspapers into
tight rolls, pasting down the edges with
glue or paste, and boiling them in psraf
| fin to make ration heaters (scaIda ran.
ciol out of them for the use of the sol.
| ders in the trenches in the high Alps
where coal cannot be sent. They are
making them by the million. The Italian
National society furnishes one and a
half million a day to the government,
and the old newspapers are being used up
for this purpose so fast that they are
becoming scarce and paraffin has become
very expensive.
In America there are still millions of
candle ends and thousands of tons of
newspapers scattered over the country,
and it would seem to be well worth
while for the thousands of willing hands
in the homes to convert them into these
most useful ration heaters for the boys
at the front, or for their use next win
ter in the training camps, or even for
use at home, where they can take the
place of the more expensive solid alcohol
or replace kindings in the kitchen stove"
The direction Of the National Italian
society are:
Spread out four newspapers, eight
sheets in all, and begin rolling at the
long edge. Roll as tight as possible un-
til the papers are half rolled, then fold
back the first three sheets toward the
rolled part and continue to wrap around
the roll almost to the first fold, then fold
back another three sheets and continue
to wrap around the roll again up to the
last margin of the paper. On this mar
gin, consisting of two sheets, spread
little glue or paste, and continue the
rolling, so as to make a compact of pa
per almost like torch. If six of the
sheets are not turned under, there will
be too many edges to glue.
while the newspapers may be cut
along the line of the columns before roll |
ing and the individual columns rolled
as is done in the making Of
the trench candles in France, it is easier
10 roll the whole newspaper into long
roll and then cut it into short lengths. /
A sharp carving knife, pair of pruning
shears, or an old fashioned hay cutter I
viii cut the rolls easily. These little rolls /
must then be boiled for four minutes in .
enough paraffin to cover them and then 4
aiken out and cooled, when they are
-eady to be put in bags and sent to
he front. If there are more newspapers
han candle ends, block paraffin can be
bought for few cents at any grocery or
lrug store"

Problem Of Fats Worries.

Explaining some features Of the con-
servation program, Mr.. Hoover said he
would like especially to get over" to
the American people the situation In
regard to fats He said we consume
three times as much fat as the human
body needs. Destruction of cattle herds
in Europe and the lack of ships to
bring the oils~we used to get from the
tropics. and the diminution Of our own
production have made the fat problem
one of the chief food perplexittes OF
the day.
He explained that the sugar shortage
was caused by the demand Of the allies
upon the former source of the United
States supply, the West Indies, and
said that the recent sugar shortage
had one value. that Of making the
public realize that a food shortage does
exist.
Mr.. Hoover explained other duties of
the food administration, such as CO.
operating with the Department OF Agri-
culture to stimulate production. regu-
