which are too low grade to ship
crude and are much pleased with the
results so far obtained.
Two processes have been investi-
gated: Magnetic separation and oil
flotation. The magnetic separation
process was soon discarded as i'm
practical; on the other hand. the oil
flotation has so far given very flat
tering results. The advantage OF
this process is that specific gravity
of the minerals plays no part in the
separation, and therefore eliminates
the iron very easily. For example.

The object Of the trip was to mako

possible that these tests will be per-
formed locally. The operators are
intensely interested in the results
and state that II such process can
be put into operation at their cop-

Keeping Soldiers in Health

William H. Crawford, in Leslie's.
 Chief among this class of non-fighting, military officers stand Gen. William Crawford Gorgas surgeon general of the United States army He has done more to conserve the health of our military forces than any other man living He has revolutionized sanitation. Filth and dirt have disappeared in American ar mics and camps. Typhoid fever has been nearly eliminated and yellow fever has been conquered. The death rate among our soldiers has materially de- creased and the disability from sickness has been greatly reduced.
 French and English medical officers were surprised at the sanitary regula- tions enforced by our medical corps which accompanied our troops to France. These regulation apply not only to the expeditionary forces. but also to every cantonment and encampment in Amer ica- Few families live under such strict sanitary regulations as do our boys in khaki. General Gorgas has ordered that no water can be used in any army camp until 1t has been analysed and pro- nounced pure by the medical depart ment; that the drinking water shall be sterilized in the 40-gallon canvas bags that are at every company quarters: that every soldier shall have his own drinking cup; that all kitchens and mess i.e'iiS must De peileStly StIeeHeu' lAal the flies are to be given no chance to contaminate the food of our soldiers. Hot water must be used to clean the dishes and tableware and clean towels to dry them. Ice boxes must be elevated and the drip pans cleaned daily All food must be inspected by sanitary officers before itis served. Canned goods opened one day cannot be used the following day.
 The day of the old-fashioned sutler has disappeared. as no one Is allowed to sell foodstuffs within the army encampment. No water is allowed to collect in pools Either natural or artificial drainage Is demanded for all camps and for this preparation is made before the building of the cantonment. No camp site is se- lected until 1t has passed inspection as to It's water, drainage and probable health conditions. Where horses are

Babies Starved to Death

rom LeSnC S.
 Shocking! While the women of New York have been clamoring for suffrage and against child labor, babies in pub lie institution have been dying from neg feet. An investigation of the day nur- sery bearing the name of 'The Divine Providence" in Yonkers, N. r., brought to light the fact that four children had died of neglect within a month and that all of the children were half starved amid surroundings indescribably filthy. Eight of the r children removed from the nursery had to be sent to hospitals, and six of them died. Efforts were made, but unsuccessfully, at the last ses- sion of the legislature in New York to secure legislation to insure adequat te protection to all inmates of public insti- tutions and honest administration of all funds appropriated to them. Miss Annie Murphy and Miss Bridget O'Flaherty, who were in charge of the Yonkers insti- tuition, had been in similar trouble about two years ago when conducting nursery supported by the Queens Daughters, a deserving charitable organization of Catn- olie women, When they applied 1s months ago to open the Day Nursery of Divine Providence, the Yonkers health officer, knowing their record, refused 2 permit. Later they came with the rec ommendation of a clergyman, and under the law the local health office was com pelled to grant the permit. Women par ticularly interested in the welfare of children could find no better field for their efforts than in laboring for the pas sage of laws giving protection to the helpless inmates of public institutions. They deserve far more consideration than they are receiving and just as much as is being devoted to the problem of child labor

New York, December 12.-(Speeial Cor respondence.)-To the Englishwoman travelling in the United States during wartime, nothing is quite so aggravat- ing or so heart-teasing as the mail serv- ice. It can't be helped, I know, for the same state of things prevails on the other side, but that fact does not remedy the nervous tension that must exist on whatever shore of the Atlantic ocean your feet may be set
 Nothing today!' And it seems an eternity since that last guardedly writ ten letter from London, telling vaguely of last nights little air fuss,' or this mornings effort on the part of the ene- my" To anyone who has had three years in London during the war, these vaguely yelled sentences are aggravat- ing in the extreme. You know quite well that the censor Olave you ever tried to imagine what the censor looks like?l sits with a big pencil in his hand, ready to black out any information or any seditious suggestions that may come through the mails from overseas" but you resent personally the activities of this worthy and panstalxing individual.
 Of course you know, and know that the censor' is not one person, but many. In England the censor's offices employ hundreds of women. I presume they serve in similar capacities here.
 The wondrous intricacies and ramifica- tfons of the censor's offices bewilder the lay mind, but in England women of edu- cation have settled down into the service with real success. There is one woman know of in the censors office whose sole duty it is to compare suspicious handwritings with certain specimens of caligraphy belonging to men and women known to be in the service of the enemy.
 She has an exact and remarkable knowledge of the graphology and has been the means of bringing more than one case of espionage before the govern ment.
 Another woman of my acquaintance IS acquainted with all sorts of curious codes and odd methods of hiding words, reindicating meanings that do not exist to the eye of the cursory reader. think she is the only woman engaged In this special form of censorship and she gained her original knowledge of this subject from her early fascination for puzzles and deciphering anagrams and cryptograms in various papers

New Motor Truck Kitchen

From the Popular Science Monthly
 A new type of United States army steam field kitchen has just been de- signed to furnish a battalion of 2000 men three hot meals day. The new outfit Is mounted on a four-ton motor truck to enable it to accompany the troops on marches and even move ahead of them so that their meals will be ready when they halt for the noon lunch period or at night
 The great capacity of the equipment lis it's principal feature This Is directly attributable to the use of a 10-horse power vertical boiler which furnishes live steam at 50 pounds pressure to two 50- gallon -coffee urns and two 90-gallon stew. soup or pot-roast kettles. The boiler is arranged to burn coal, wood or
