OF severe pains since eating the fruit.
No dangerous symptoms have devel-
oped, but physicians say that intern

1t is believed that the glass was
contained in the sugar in canning
the fruit. This sugar was part of a

made of a grocer in Ontario, Oregon,
previous to the removal of the Law

ago.

Experience has shown that sing

said that he does not fear the out

singing. A German regiment on the
march will sing in way to make
ones hair stand on end. The men
will swing along to a German song
that runs for six beats, and then
will stop abruptly for two beats, and
sing for four beats more and then
stop for four beats. Germans are
just a efficient in their singing as
they are in their fighting.
Every national resource that we
have in the way of ragtime songs
will be needed when we meet the

THE WONDERS
OF GRAFINITE

Grafinite, which is a specially pre-
pared form of graphite, has many
unique and wonderful qualities. II
is absolutely light proof. As wa
learned in school, anything which
appears black is impervious to light
there is nothing blacker than
grafinite. 1t is almost impossible to
destroy graphite or make 1t change
its form. II Is made I'D of PARTICLES
so small that, under sufficient pres
sure, 1t can be forced through glass.
1t is one Of the best known anti
friction materials and in yarious
forms is commonly used in the man.
ufacture Of lubricants. Its particles
have relatively low cohesion and
still lower adhesion; that is, thew
do not readily adhere to each other
nor do they stick to other substanc-
es or surfaces with which they come
in contact.
The many invaluable properties of
Grafinnite suggested its use as n
coating for automobile inner tubes.
Tubes coated with grafinite are alb
solutely protected from light which
Is one of the chief things that deter
iorate rubber. Sticking and friction
is also eliminated by the use Of gra-
finite coating. II there is any frlc-
ton between an inner tube and the
casing containing it, or If the tube
sticks to the casing, it is bound to
be short lived.
Friction is ordinarily reduced by
the use of sap stone. 1t is absolute
ly prevented by coating Of grafin-
lite and the use Of powders and soap
stone is therefore rendered entirely
unnecessary.
The Savage Tire Company is the
only company to put out tube with
grafinite vulcanized into its surface.
The process employed was perfected
