Castor Oil Is Soon to Be
Off the Market, According
To Druggists Prediction

Castor oil, the public's one unfail

go off the. market. At least this j.
the prediction Of Indianapolis whole
sale druggists, who say that it is
only matter of few months until
the oil will be dropped from druggists
price lists.
Again the war Is to blame. The
oil is made from the castor bean
which for years has been imported by
the United States from the East In
dies by the thousands of pounds. Now
the war not only has curtailed the i'm
portation of the bean enormously, but
has created a demand for the oil de-
rived from it that would have taxed
the capacity of manufacturers had
they been able to secure the normal
supply of the raw product.
The government has found, drug
dealers say, that no other oil is as
perfect a lubricant for the type OF
engines used in the country's air.
planes as castor oil. Consequently
orders have gone forth from Wash.
ington diverting the present supply
of castor oil in drug warehouses from
civilian to federal use.

In comparing the figures given II
should be borne in mind that the Ro-

churches include In their membership
all children who have been baptized
whereas the Protestant churches do
not, as rule. receive young children

Tractor Is Chasing Dobbin
From Farms as Automobiles
Drive Him From the Cities

The tractor is on the trail of Dob

almost assured certainty OF eliminating
him from agriculture. One of the push

chine for turning over soil in some de-
rision points out that here mankind

from the OK to the horse have we adj

is scarcely noticeable. But the tractor
proposes to lift the farm operation up
to the plane attained in other indus
tries by the introduction of machinery.
No service accomplished by the
horse is beyond the range OF tractor,
with the advantage on the side OF the
machine at every point. 1t eats moth

"Doughboys" Are American
Soldiers, Despite Position
They May Hold In the Army

"a 'doughboy,'" says Stars and
Stripes, official paper of the A. e. f.,
as an American soldier, any Ameri-
can soldier, infantryman, artilleryman,
medical department, signal corps
sharps, officers and men alike, all are
called doughboys. Our cartoonist Is
one, so Is General Pershing."
The term "doughboys" dates back
to the Civil war when army wit was
aroused by large globular brass but
tons on infantry uniforms. Somebody
Che must have been sailor) dubbed
the buttons "doughboys" because they
reminded him Of the boiled dumplings
of raised dough served in ships messes
and known to all sailors as doughboys.
Originally it referred only to an en-
listed infantryman, but the A. e. r.
applies it to all branches and all
grades Of the service.

Alien Property Custodian
Is Title of New Official
Created Since War Began

"Alien property custodian" is the IT,
tie of a new official created by an act
Of congress of October 6, 1917, known
as the trading with the enemy act"
1t relates to the handling and dispo-
sition of productive properties in the
country previously owned and oper-
ated by companies or corporations Of
"a country now at war with the United
States. In effect, it confiscates such
properties, temporarily, leaving their
final disposition for future settlement.
Section 6 of the act says:
"That the president is author
lied to appoint, prescribe the duties Of
and fix the salary (not to exceed
$4,000 per annum) of an official to be
known as the alien property custo-

Gary, Ind, Is Regarded a
"Made-to- 0rder" City
Famous as a Steel Center

Most cities grow from small begin
hings. but to Gary, Ind, belongs the
distinction of being a "made-to-order"
town. It was founded II years ago
by the United States Steel corporation
and up to the outbreak of the war mad
a population Of about 25.OOO. Exactly
what It's population is at the present
time has not been officially stated, but
many thousands of citizens have been
added, and it is not unlikely that in a
few years it will reach the hundred
thousand mark.
The site of Gary, named after the
head Of the steel corporation, was
worth practically nothing until the
great organization selected it as the
spot on which to build its big steel
mills. Gary is practically suburb
of Chicago today, and steel can be
produced there more cheaply than in
Pittsburgh. This economic condition
explains Gary's magic growth in Il
years from nothing to thriving city
with paved streets, electric railways
large commercial buildings, to say
nothing of the big mills and factories
and it's busy water front.

Provision of the New Law
Permitting President to
Name the Price for Wheat

The announcement of the president
nxming guaranteed price per bushel
for the next wheat crop is made under
section IA of the food control law of
August 10, 1917, which says:
whenever the president shall find
that an emergency exists requiring
stimulation of the production of wheat
and that it is essential that the pro-
Slucers of wheat, produced within the
United States, shall have the benefits
OF the guaranty provided for in this
section, he is authorized, from time to
time. seasonably and as far in advance
os seeding time as practicable, to de-
ternIne and fix and to give public no
tees of what, under specified condi-
4ions, is a reasonable guaranteed price
for wheat, in order to assure such pro-
faneer reasonable profit"
Tine law provides for regulations re-
gardingS the grading of wheat and
says:
saThe government of the United
States hereby guarantees every pro-
aucer of wheat produced within the
limited States that upon compliance
nv him with the regulations prescribed
he shall receive for any wheat pro-
Suced in reliance upon this guarantee
within a period not exceeding eighteen
months, a price therefor as fixed pur-
guant to this section"

Church Membership in the

Increase in Ten Years

During the ten-year period ending
December 81, 1916, the total church

The number of denominations COW
cred was POI, an increase of Ii over
the number reported for 1906. This In

POULTRY GROWERS

li1--k1-{1-<1-Sy1-S1- f1&y1--&21-SS-HT-S2-Tf
The poultry department of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment sta
ton advises thai careful attention be
given to preparing the laying houses
for the pullets. Before placing them
in their permanent quarters, the house
should be thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected, as q precaution against dis
ease.
AS crowding lowers the vitality,
each bird should be allowed at least
four square feet Of floor space. See
that all drinking fountains, feed hop
pers and other fixtures are raised off
the floor.
Ventilation should be secured by
means Of muslin-curtain window in
the front of the house. Keep this open
at all times, except in very, stormy
weather and during severe cold spells.
Provision should be made for the larg-
est amount of sunlight possible In the
house, as this is one of the best means
of preventing disease. Windows should
be so constructed that the sun can
touch every part of the floor some
time during the day.
1t is essential that the house be
kept dry. See that there are no places
in the roof or sides where rain can
beat In. Also, 1t is desirable to have
concrete floor, laid on a bed Of 10
to IL inches Of cinders. A dust box,
by feet and IL feet deep, contain
ing fine dust, should be placed In
each house. In short, for the best re-
suits everything should be done to
give the birds the best housing condi-
tons possible.
Hens are like people, they need
vegetables and green stuff to keep
them healthy. Do yours get cabbage,
beets, alfalfa or other grass and vege-
tables?

first syllable of the word is easy
enough to understand; the second is
from the word "chirurgical," the old
