Will DANISH OLD Age
Local Scientist Discovers New Mineral
with Wonderful Properties.

EThe next time you feel yourself grow
hig old, do not delay. Swallow a little
radio-strontium and feel yourself grow
young!
The regular rates for rad!o-strontium
range around 0.cents line, but It Is not
on the market and is simply a newly
discovered derivative Of radium.
However, its discoverer, Paul Bornsen,
a scientist, OF 301 Tennessee avenue

entific reserve yesterday afternoon long
enough to admit that while he did not
claim eP~ir vitae qualities for the new
mineral distance. It was of such potent
properties hat he did not like to be too
modest In his claims.
Radio-strontium Is pronounced radio
strunshun-or rather, that is the way its
discoverer pronounces It, and he ought
to know. II Is really a cheap form of
radlum salts which he believes will some
day become the universal panacea for
every human ill and send a lot of drug
store proprietors out looking for jobs.
1t Is q composition of two elements,
radium and strontium, and its chief
value lies in the fact that 1t is mild in
its effect and that you can buy enough
or rent enough Of It to cure a deep-seat-
ed case of cancer. That has been the
chief trouble with radium as a cancer
remedy, 1t seems. 1t was too strong

HOW ENGLAND Fights
SEVERE POTATO FAMINE.
Encourages Even Women to Plant All
Available Ground.

(By the International News servtee0
London, April 5.-"What," asks the
English hostess, will you have for des-
sert?"
"If 1 may" responds the guest, "I will
have a potato"
That Is not supposed to be a joke. The
food shortage in England has got beyond
the jesting stage. 1t Is stern, serious
business-the business OF war.
From statistics complied by a London
merchant with government connections
the supply OF potatoes on hand now Il
just sufficient to furnish each person with
half pound per week for the next dozen
weeks.
John W. Dennis, who was recently ap.
pointed potato controller by Lord Devon
port, the food controller. has been busily
engaged for the past few weeks investi-
eating the potato situation. He found that
in March there were 10000 tons of pota.
toes on hand. So per cent OF which were
seed potatoes. From 20 to Is per cent OF
these potatoes were available for civilian
consumption. the rest being set aside for
the army.
Ireland was excluded IN these figures
but the potato situation in Ireland is
even worse than 1t is in England.
Potatoes have more than doubled in
price the past year. In the coal mining

steps are being taken to cultivate every
foot Of vacant ground. Vacant lots,
parks. golf links, tennis courts, race
tracks, unused fields and waste tracts will
be put under cultivation. The plow and
the hoe have been raised to the dignity
of emblems, to which national homage is
paid.
The German submarine war has cut
down the British food supply, but it has
not been responsible for the potato dearth
in the United Kingdom. Bad weather
the failure OF the crop. insufficient cult
walton and lack of foresight were the
contributing causes to the potato short.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing were
detailed to establish a government plate
printing establishment for Cuba.
