DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the

MORE WORK FOR THE Deep SEA DIVER

work at depth of $50 feet. but no
further"
He told me of one Of the most re-
cent of his diving exploits.
Il was sitting on the blade OF a
ships propeller trying to release a
cable which it had fouled as she went
down. As l finally got the cable free
the propeller began TO move and
pitched me off. 1t revOlved SEVERN
times. l thought my number was up,
as | believed the blades would cut my
air communications, and it was lmpos-
sible to get TO the top. The water was
very deep. 1t didn't, though, and my
only trouble was In regaining my feet
again. II is extremely difficult to get
a footing once you have lost 1t. Some
times you come up legs first. 1t was a
narrow squeak"
One Of the navy divers recently lost
two fingers when nipped by a crab
which, he said, measured fully two feet
across Its back. Their are many
stories about divers which they them
selves cast suspicion on, but this was
not one Of them. The fingers were
gone when the man came to the sur
face in an exhausted condition.
But working In the cold seas. where
much OF the diving of the navy now
goes on, there are no such menaces
as the octopus of tropical waters.
While many craft now lying In com
paratsvely shallow water may be
patched up and raised when the war is
over. it is certain that divers will prin-
cipally be engaged In ascertaining the
whereabouts of wrecks. the causes
which led to their destruction. and the
repairs necessary to attempt any re-
COvery Of the vessels. The profession
has been largely augmented during the
war. There are great difficulties In
surveying ships, particularly If they
lie in northern seas, where the water
is very cold and where they are at a
depth Of from 125 to $50 feet. At the
l50-f0ot depth the pressure is so great
that before divers are brought to the
surface they must linger in a sort Of
twilight zone" at a depth of 100 feet.
or slightly less. so their lungs can get
in proper shape before they can be
brought to the top.
One case of the sort which has just
been brought to my attention is that
Of diver who had gone down to
fasten a cable TO an anchor which had
been lost in water more than 100 feet
deep. It was very cold. and his hands
became so numbed that he was unable
to "carry on" and had to be brought
to the surface He was rubbed and
brought back to good condition again
and once more was lowered to the
twilight zone" where his lungs could
go through the process which has been
found absolutely essential in bringing
their cells back TO normal condition.
II has been found that where treated
otherwise the diver becomes easily
subject to- tuberculosis.

FOR THOSE WHO WALK
Uncle Sans Experts Tell How to
Save Shoes.
Suggestions Made With View to Pre-
venting Waste in Leather Which
10 Needed in War.

War demands leather-leather for
soldiers shoes, leather for harness.
leather for equipment of many kinds.
In this country there is no such sur
plus that any of the supply can we'll
be wasted, and. 1t is pointed out, ii is
wasting leather not to care for and
preserve 1t properly.
For the benefit of those who walk.
which includes almost everyone, ex-
perts connected with Uncle Sans
leather and paper laboratory have
made the following suggestions as 10
caring for shoes and other leather ar
ticles so that they will last longer:
shoes should be oiled or creased
whenever the leather begins TO get
thoroughly and then all the dirt and
mud that remains washed off with
warm water. the excess water being
taken off with dry cloth. While the
shoes are still wet and warm apply the
oil or grease with a swab of wool or
flannel. 1t Is best to have the oil or
grease about as warm as the hand
can bear and it should be rubbed well
into the leather, preferably with the
palm. If necessary, the oil can be APP
piled to dry leather, but it penetrates
better when the latter is wet. After
treatment the shoes should be left to
dry In a place that is warm-nOt hot.
castor oil is satisfactory for shoes
that are to be polished; for palmer
fOOtgear neatsfoot, fish oil or Olelne
may be substituted. If it is desired to
make the shoes and boots more water
proof, beef tallow may be added to
any of these substances at the rate OF
half pound of tallow to pint of Oil.
The edge of the sole and the welt
should be CREASED thoroughly. Too
much grease cannot be applied to
these parts.
"A simple method of making the
soles more durable, pliable and water
resistant Is to swab them occasionally
with linseed oil, setting them aside to
dry over night.
MANY of the common shoe poll
ishes are harmful to leather. All those
which contain sulpluric, hydrOchloric.
or oXalic acids, turpentine, benzine,
or other volatile solvents, have a ten
dency to harden the leather and make
1t more liable to crack.
1T is poor economy, too, to wear a
shoe with the heel badly worn on one
side. This throws the shoe out OF
shape and may soon result In its ruin.
1t is also likely to cause temporary in
jury to the foot.
Harness leather, like shoes, cannot
be neglected without injury that les-
sens its durability. 1t should be washed
and oiled frequently. The washing
should be done in tepid water. with
neutral soap and sponge or stiff
brush. After rinslng in clean tepid
water, the harness is hung up to drain
a little while before Oiling.
For driving harness neatsfoot or cas-
tor Oil Is best, but for heavy harness
there may be some tallow in the oil.
The applications should be light for
driving and liberal for heavy harness.
The oil, warm to the hand, is rubbed
thoroughly into the leather while it is
still wet from the washing. Excess
oil which the leather is unable to take
up should be removed with a clean,
dry CLOTH

FARMS USE MUCH FlREW0OD
Amount Consumed in Rural Districts
of Country Worth S225, 0o0, 900 a
Year, Says Uncle Sam.

According to the United States de-
partment of agriculture the firewood
used on the farms of the United States
is worth S225, 100000 year. In some
places like Virginia and Tennessee, the
farmers use upon an average 10 cords
from first of the year to the last. But
in Nebraska, the average is only two
cords annually. There is plenty of
wood in Pennsylvania. but coal is
cheaper for the farmer.
In West Virginia the woodlots are
saved because so many farms are sup
piled with natural gas. Yet firewood
is the standby. it is declared, and
there is no present sign that the grand
day of emancipation will come around
when not an American boy has TO
split wood. dig it out from under snow
drifts, or fill his hands with splinters
in "toting" the stuff into the kitchen.
