WHY :. ::

aced by the shortage Of this metal.
"On behalf OF the chemical manu-.

Ing to provide our government with its
many necessities, and in behalf Of
those conducting scientific research for
the public good" said tho society's
statement, "the American Chemical SO.
ciety appeals to the loyal women of the
United States to refrain from purchas.

and to help discourage the use Of this

where 1t can do the greatest good In
tho service Of our beloved country.
Few realize that tho dictators of

mum to advance within the last few
years until today 1t Is worth five times
as much as gold. AS result Of this
mood of Dame Fashion tho chemical
industries Of the country are finding
1t exceedingly difficult to secure the
supplies they need, while our govern.
ment as we'll as oil chemical labora.
tories Is greatly handicapped by Its
scarcity. Platinum Is essential for pro.
ducing sulphuric acid which In Its
turn Is an absolute necessity In the
production OF high explosives.
"The matter has become so serious
that scientific and industrial advance.
ment is suffering severely because of
tho lack Of platinum and the almost
prohibftive price to which Its scarcity
has given rise, It seems q shame,
especially ut this time, that personal
vanity should prove such a handicap to

Miilaias HTrust Ma,n

before a picture by Millais called

Advice In SECURING Riohea.

Frederick Weycrhacuser, Americas
ono time lumber king, who died a null
umillionaire, once gave tho following
rules on how to get rich: make up
your mind to work Mt something real
ly worthy of work and work hard. The
surest way to make money Is to save
money and to use what you have.
Don't DO afraid OF long hours or con.
slant attention to your work. Work
can DO made Joy, an economy, q
pleasure, if you combine an object
worth while with the determined am.
bition to win. Any young man can
get rich, can succeed, If he saves, If he
has definite and honest purpose and
Is 80 filled with the purpose that work
ceases to DO a hardship and becomes u

HOME GARDEN HINT.
How to Apply Fertilizers and Limo to
thu Soil

How to Apply Fertilizers and Limo to
tho Soil.
After blowing or working with q
spade 1t Is usually desirable to apply
some form Of fertilizer. Banyard or
stable manure, which furnishes both
plant food and humus is undoubtedly
the best, and applications of from
twenty to thirty tons to the aero arc
satisfactory. The manure should be
distributed evenly over the surface and
later worked in with hoe and rake.
Frequently 1t Is advisable also to apply
commercial fertilizer, especially phos.
plate. An application OF 800 to GOO
pounds Of acid phosphate to the acre
Is usually sufficient. In order to sup
ply potash, II this is needed, unlenched
wood ashes may be distributed over
the garden at the rate Of n thousand
pounds to the acre. Wet, or leached,
ashes have less fertilizer value. Two
thousand pounds OF these should be
used. III order t. start the Plants
early in the spring applications Of Il
HUNDRED pounds to tho acre of nitrate
Of soda are sometimes used. 1t Is i'm
portant, however, to remember that no
form OF commercial fertilizer will yield
good results unless the soil Is we'll
supplied with humus. This frequently
may DO furnished In the form Of sod or
other vegetation which has ovcrgrown
a garden spot and may DO turned un-
der with plow or spade.
In certain localities it also IS advis-
able to test the soil for acidity. Natu-
rally moist soils are apt to be sour
and In such condition are not likely
to produce the most satisfactory crops.
The test for acidity or sourness is
very simple one. handful Of the soil
slightly molstened and piece of blue
litmus paper, which can be obtained
from any drug store, are oil that is
necessary. When placed on sour soil
the paper will turn red. no correct
such n condition lime should be used.
Tho ground should DO covered with a
thin coat Of air slaked lime and the lat
ter worked In well. Lime Is not a plant
food, but 1t will correct the acidity and
will improve tho physical condition Of
the soil.
