Mobilize Yourself.

Mobilize yourself. Speed up. Cut
out your wastes. The idler is an ene-
my of the republic. So Is the waster
Mr.. Plumber, when you go to John
Easyman's house to stop leak, and
forget to take your tools with you,
and charge him up with a dollars
worth of time while you are getting
them, you are subtracting from his
ability to pay for the Liberty bond
that he has subscribed for, and you
have been guilty of an unpatriotic neg
ligence. Mister Highroller, when you
are spending night along the Great
White Way you are consuming luxu-
ries which represent the labor of men
who should be growing wheat or some
thing that Is essential. Mr.. JOyrider
why should you burn gasoline that the
transport service needs and serves no
useful purpose to you? Mistress Mary,
consider what slavery to fashion
means in the consumption of wool, cot
ton, flax and labor. There are many
ways of Standardization, and each one
doing his bit.-Engineering and Mining

Paraffin Better Than Ambrine.

The so-called ambrine, invented by
DR.. Barthe de Sandfort and used In
France for healing burns and other In
Examinations, is almost all paraffin. So
are it's several American limitations.
The Journal Of the American Medical
Association has been testing them, as
we'll as the many different brands Of
paraffin, and it finds that the success
of treatment with 1t depends upon the
kind of paraff1n used.
1t gives a formula with which any
one can make a paraffin film similar
in chemical composition, but superior
in physical properties to ambrine. This
is: Paraffin 12O-122 F., 97.5; olive oil,
1.5; asphalt, drops. And 1t says it is
exceedingly probable that further ex-
perience will show that for most pur-
poses simple paraftin will serve as well
as, If not better than, any of the mix
lures.

Chicken Had Unusual Dressing.

A roasted chicken enabled two pris-
oners to escape from the county Jail
at New Brunswick, N. j., despite the
inspection of their cells every ten
minutes and the armed guards who
surrounded the building. To outward
appearances the fowl, which was sent
to the prison by brother Of the men,
was brown, appetizing and innocent. 1t
was learned later that, instead Of
bread crumbs and spices, it's interior
held saws and files. When keeper
made one of his inspections the men
were snoring loudly on their cots.
Ten minutes later he found that they
had disappeared by way of the win
dow from which they had wrenched
the bars. Still later the brother who
brought the chicken, and his high pow
cred automobile, were also found to
be gone.
