FooTGEAR SUPPLY FOR SOL.
DIERS IN FRANCE.
AIRPLANE MISHAPs ARE FEW
With Hundreds Of Men Learning to
Fly, War Department Records Show
Number Of Accidents at Military Avl-
alton Fields Comparatively Small.

Washington.-Gen. Pershing has
requested shipment Of 1850 pairs Of
shoes for each $4,000 men monthly,
which is approximately nine pairs Of
shoes per man per year. This guam
tity is in xcess of actual consumption
and is being used to build up a re-
serve for all troops in France. When
such a supply is accumulated. the
quantities per man will be reduced.
The quartermaster generals de
partment now has on hand and due
on outstanding contracts. 1854. 900
field shoes and 7.S73.0OO marching
shoes. 1t will be necessary to C
more than q million additional shoes
during the year.
Records of the war department show
that from the beginning of training in
June. 1917, to February 90. 1918. the
fatalities at military aviation fields
In this country have heen 81: 10 Of
ficers and 90 cadets killed in training
flights, and II men killed in unauthor-
ized flights and ground accidents.
Since the training began in the
United States. student nviators have
flown considerably more than 100000
miles. Hundreds of hitherto ineNl
perienced men have been learning to
ny. Their early flights are under the
guidance of instructors. and prior to
these flights two or more months are
spent in preliminary ground work.
There comes a time, however. when
every student aviator must take his
machine up alone. n every precau-
ton has been taken to reduce the
number of accidents and safeguard
the aviator in his solo flights.
The fuel administration is carrying
on a series Of conferences covering all
industries which use large quantities
OF fuel, with a view to learning the re-
quirements of each line during 1918.
The industries themselves are playing
a leading part in these discussions.
The aim of the fuel administration is
to arrive at a percentage of prOduc-
ton which. under the circumstances,
will be satisfactory to the manufac-
turerS and their wOrkmen. but which
will not represent a consumption Of
fuel for the manufacture of supplies
not needed during the current year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use of fuel for the pro-
duction Of window glass to SO per cent
of the amount manufactured in 1917
is the result of one of these confer
ences. A survey of the field indicated
that while not more that 5000. 600
boxes Of window glass would be used
In 1918, competitive conditions were
likely to result in an overmanufacture
Of at least 100000 boxes.
It is through this system of limita-
ton, together with large economy In
the methods of using fuel, that the
fuel administration expects to supple
ment the production of coal this year.
1t is hoped. as the railroads strengthen
their facilities, that it will he possible
to mine and transport a larger a
THY of coal this year than last, but it
is through these methods of reducing
consumption that a repetition Of this
years shortage is expected to be pre-
vented.

Rife and cartridge production in the
United States has developed in volume
and in quality on a scale assuring the
satisfactory equipment Of the army.
according to a statement authorized by

To achieve the rifle and ammunition
production program the government
has expended or has obligated itself to
expend, during 10 months Of war,
$500 100000, and 200 officers. 10000
men, and 10000 women have been en-
gagged exclusively in the manufacture
of rifles and cartridges. Two govern
ment plants and three privately owned
plants are engaged in making rifles
and n government plant and nine
privately owned plants are engaged in
cartridge manufacture. Ordnance ex-
perts in this country and in Europe
are in agreement that the United
States army is being equipped with
two of the best three rifles In the
world.

Sciatica

what Is the best treatment for sciatIca
Il. VAST h.
Sciatica is n painful affection or the
large nerve which supplies the back part
Of the thigh and also the leg.
A very hot bath is n most excellent
remedy for relieving the pain of sctatica'
The patient sits in an ordinary tub with
the limbs extended and the water deep
enough to reach the. navel. The tenn
porature of the wafer is gradually raised
until as hot as can possibly be borne.
The duration of the bath should be two
to ten minutes. At the end the tenn
pcrature may he reduced TO so degrees
+. for half n minute. The patient should
he then put to bed and wrapped up
warmly Hot lamentations over the
painful parts and massage are other
measures which may he used Some
times sciatica is due to intestinal auto
intoXiCation
Most persons suffering from sciatica
are subjects of chronic constipation, The
patient should adopt permanently a
strictly antitoxc diet. A person who
suffers pain In the hip which does not
rapidly yield to treatment should sub
nit himself to examination by n COM
petent X-ray specialist. Pain in this
region Is not infrequently due to sar-
coma or some other form of malignant
disease, or to tuberculosis.

ter the first real happiness that she has
known since the outbreak Of the war in
1914. The Queen has sent to"her her
youngest son, Maxim.
Madame Duncsme is a Belgian woman
living in Philadelphia with Mrs. Harry
Keller, 2S29 North Newklrll street.
When the German millions started pour

she was visiting, northward TO- the

where her three fathcrirss boys Were.
Illness checked her here. Then came
the news that her three precious ones,
Leon, Marcel and Maxim, had hastcned
to join the loyal little army that was
rallylng around King Albert.

death cn the battlefield. Mentally

Mental Healing

Iss"mental healing" possible? V. V. =.
The success of various glasses of mind
healcrs with certain invalids affords
most convincing evidence that a large
number of persons suffer from maladles
which have their chief seat in morbid
imagination or a wrong mental attitude.
Thousands of neuraSthencs are made
miserable by depressing symptoms which
are the outgrowth of a disordered state
of the nervous system and which have
no organic foundation, Morbid sensa-
tions which are distressing and even
highly painful in these patients not in
frequently disappear instantly when
some happy circumstance produces a
favorable change In the patients state
of mind. ON the other hand, an un-
favorable mental change may bring
about ut once an aggravation of symp-
toms present or may induce wholly
new crop of unpleasant sensations
Every physician of experience has en-
countered such cases.
