1t Kills Weeds Successfully.

An expeditions method of killing dam
delions, ragweed and other trouble
some lawn weeds is by the use OF a
tube filled with gasoline or, for rag
weed and pig weed, iron sulphite. The
tube is so arranged that pushing the
point of it into the ground releases a
small amount of the liquid with which

had the knee-joint patented. Then
the court awarded him two thou
sand dollars for the loss Of his
leg.
The former railroader decided
to go into the artificial-leg bust
ness. His capital wasn't enough,
however, for the two thousand
dollars was wiped out by debts,
and Mr.. Morris was forced to look
elsewhere for capital to start his
enterprise. He sought out a
friend, j. A. Cowlyn, who, by the
way. had also lost leg. Cowlyn
had business ability. but no money
so together they set out to find
somebody to finance the business.
J. A. Wilder-who had lost both
his legs-was the man they got.
At that time it might well have
been called "a business without
legs to stand on" for among
them the three partners had just
two real good legs. It was in that
way that Morris and his company
got their start.
It was slow shedding for while,
bu. in 1912 orders began coming
in fast, and fat profits resulted.
In the meantime, Morris had pat
ented a movable ankle. Then
came the European War and an
amount of business never dreamed
of by the partners.
The partners made it rule not
to employ any one who had not
lost either one or both legs, and !

But back to the affairs Of Nor
ris, who, it seems, is ever pur-
sued by the brand Of fate that
first became his lot fourteen years
ago.
On the morning Of January Is,
1916, while attempting to board
a street-car near his home, Morris
was thrown off by the sudden
start of the train. Down under
the wheels Of the trailer he went,
and that time. when he woke up
IN his hospital, his left leg was off
a few inches below the hip.
" Well, it might have been

there was a feeling like a heavy

At the beginning of the war it

this was that large numbers of the

1t was at that time regarded as a
satisfactory result when so per cent
of the wounded brought into hos
pitfalls recovered eventually from
their injuries.
This percentage of losses among
the wounded men would at present
be regarded with borrow by the
military surgeons, who now reckon
with perfect assurances on saving
about nine-tenths of the wounded
men coming under their treatment.
