NEW ANTIsEPTIc is USED
French Soldiers Supplied With Powder
Intended tor Immediate ApplIea-
tion to Wounds.

AS an antiseptic for immediate
use upon wounds, Chief Surgeon
Vincent of the French army, inven-
tor of one of the best systems of anti
typhoid vaccination, is distribut-
ing to the soldiers little jars of a
powder based upon DR.. Alexis Car
reps hypochlorite antiseptic fluid,
with glass tubes through which to
blow the powder on the wound.
Doctor Vincent's invention is
chloride of lime mixed with boracic
acid, both in powder form. Its ap-
plication causes no pain, even If
nerves be exposed, only a sense of
warmth. The powder dissolves very
slowly, so that its antiseptic action is
prolonged for several hours.
According to La Nature, treat
ment with this powder has proved
so successful that Doctor Vincent is
instructing all the regimental sur
geons in its use.

JAPANs BIG NEW wARsHIP.

Rapid progress is making on the
great battleship Nagato, $4,000 tons,
on the stocks at the naval yard at
Kure, says the East and West News.
She will be larger and faster than
the Ise, now building at Kobe. Her
speed will exceed 21 knots, that of
the Ise; her principal arms will be
larger and heavier than those on any
battleship ever built in Japan. Prep
arations are making at Kure fer the
construction of a 4O,000-ton war
vessel. The shops at Saseho are very
busy overhauling warships.

RATIoNs FOR ORPHAN COLTS
Bottle and Nipple viii Be Found
Cheapest and Most Satisfactory
Means Of Giving MIX.

Raising orphan colts is hard task
which requires time and patience.
Cows milk is The usual substitute for
mares milk. Allowance must be made
for the fact that cows milk is lower
in per cent of protein, fat, and ash
than mares milk, while the latter is
lower in per cent of water and milk
sugar.
At first bottle and nipple probably
will be found the cheapest and most
satisfactory means Of inducing the colt
70 take the milk. The milk should al
ways be warmed to body temperature
before feeding.
Add enough warm water to table
spoonful Of sugar to dissolve IL, then
add from three to FIVE tablespoonfuls
Of lime water and enough milk to make
pint. Feed one-fourth of this mix
ture every hour for a few days, grad
ually lengthening the intervals and in
creasing the amount given at a feed
as the colt grows older.
When the colt is three or four weeks
old the sugar in the milk may be dis
continued. At three months the colt
should be put on a ration Of all the
sweet milk it will drink three times
a day.
II the colt scours, cut down on the
amount of milk and give two to four
ounces Of a mixture Of two parts cas-
tor oil to one part sweet oil.

"Hypothyreosis, " which he termed
an affection of the thyroid gland, and
which evidently produces a state of
mental indrmity, was given by her
attorneys as the disease from which
Mrs. Blanca DeSaHlles was suffering
when she shot her divorced husband,
John L. DeSaulles, at his Long Island
home the night of August 8. This
definition Of the cause Of the defend
ants alleged temporary loss Of ac-

LUCK HAS FAITH IN NAME
Automobile Driver, Hun in BAD spill,
Asserts He Can Justly Claim
Charmed Life.

There is much in a name, Accord
ing to the physicians at a hospital
where Anton Luck, twenty-four-
year-old farmer, was taken following
an automobile accident, says an ex-
change.
Luck, who was returning home
with party Of five other young men,
was driving his automobile and had
turned out when he realized he could
not pass another automobile ap-
preaching from the opposite direc-
tion in time.
He drove his car up the bank at
the side of the road, threw himself
and his five friends out of the car
and when he reached the hospital he
announced he could not be hurt, as
he told the physicians he bore a
charmed name.
Although the physicians said
Luck had received a few score
scratches and was severely bruised,
no bones were broken, and the man
seemed to be all he believed himself
to be as far as the name went. His
friends, who were shaken up consid-
erably, were able to go to their
homes.

FOR PRODUCER AND CONSUMER
Farmers Favor a Government Ware

Farmers Favor a Government Ware
house to Make Necessities Cheaper
Farmers who have made a study of |
the reasons why the farmer gets so
small an amount out of the real price
paid for produce in the city markets,
declare that the idea of government
warehouses, which is now being
brought out, is the first real step to-
ward giving the farmer a higher price
for his crops and the consumer lower
price for their necessities. 1t is a
fact that in the short 100-mile haul
that farm produce takes from the
Eastern Shore farms to the Philadel
phia or Baltimore markets, prices
double. A crate of strawberries that
is sold for 81 at berry market sells
for 50. so in a city market with only
100 miles of freight travel. First,
the buyer must have his commission
of 10 cents on each crate of berries,
then comes a freight of 80 cents a
crate, which makes the 81 crate cost
the dealer in the city $1.40 at the
city freight station. There is where
the charges pile up. Twenty-Five
cents a crate for carriage makes the
price of the crate $165. The commits
sion man sells it for a profit of about
35 cents to the pushcart man who
probably retails the berries for 10
cents a quart, which is at the rate of
So. 20 a crate or ST. 20 profit to the
latter. Other crops are handled in
the same manner. Now the city man
could buy those same berries much
cheaper from the farmer if the farmer
had a place to store the berries and
send them out as needed, and it is this
idea which the government is investi-
eating. 1t is designed to plant ware
houses in different sections and allow
the farmers for a nominal rental tC
store all sorts of fruits and vege-
tables, selling them at small profit
direct to the consumer by parcel posi-
or by freight. At present the ware
houses will be used only for military
purposes and for food conservation
but should the plan prove successful
then these warehouses will be turneC
over to the farmers. it is said,

Winks and Eye Baths.

Every few seconds we wink both our cyelids at once. although not purpose ly. If we stop winking our eyes hr. come uncomfortable and gradually cease to work as they should. When the eye is open the front of it is cX- posed to dirt and dust and is apt to become so dry that n painiul stmging sensation results or would do so if constant moisture were not provided to cleanse and soothe the tissues.
 As d matter of fact, each time We wink We wash the eye. says the popu lar Science Monthly. Up above each eye is tiny bag called the tear gland and all the time we are awake it makes tears. When the front Of the eye feels itself becoming little toe dry or dusty a communication is sent for n supply of moisture. The eyelid then comes down with tear inside 1t to wash clean the front of the eye This Is the most gentle and perfect washing in the world.

Redwood and Fire.

Probably no other wood burns with more resistance than California red wood. 1t seems to have been made fire resistant by nature. Tn logging camps this is peculiarly noticeable, for no other wood could be so treated. Be- cause of the enormous size of redwood trees the logs are very heavy-a six teen foot butt log weighs from thirty to fifty tons-and it is very difficult to handle them when the ground is lit tered with bark, undergrowth and tops To get rid of this waste, or slash" as the lumberman calls it, he simply sets it on fire. The slash burns of, but the logs do not burn. They come through this test by fire, which lasts from eight to ten hours, with merely a slight char on the sapwood on their exterior.

Safety of a Ship,

The safety of ship depends upon its stability. strength, water tightncsS and reserve stability and floatability if injured. The strength Is due to thr framing and plating or planking. Wa. ter tightEes;s Is effected by calking the seams between plates and blanks. The seams of iron plates are calked by hammering the edge of the uppermost plates against the one underneath it.. The seams between blanks are partly filled with oakum. which Is forced in and the remainder of the seam filled with pitch, marine glue or putty. The reserve stability and floatability when injured depend upon the position and volume of the interior space which Is flooded. To reduce this volume to a safe point vessels are divided into com partments by water tight bulkheads, which extend across the ship at inter- valS.
