more than thousand prisoners were

ATTITUDES IN OHIO.
Exact Elevation Above Sea Level Of
5000 Points Determined.

In the course of its topographic map,
ping of the state of Ohio the United
States geological survey, department of
the interior, has established the exact
elevation above mean sea level of more
than 5000 points. For a numbr of years
the work has been done in cooperation
with the state. To engineers and sur
veyors this work is of great value, as
the elevations that have been thus ac-
curately determined afford starting
points for surveys of any kind that may
be contemplated. These datum points
have been marked by means of tablets
or the caps on iron posts embedded in the
ground-or small metal disks driven into
trees or posts the numbers stamped with
steel dies on the bench marks represent
ing the elevations to the nearest foot as
determined by the levelman Engineers
and others who have occasion to use
these bench mark elevations should. how
ever, apply to the United States geologi-
cal survey for the adjusted values or for
copies of the reports that give the exact
elevation or altitude OF the points Bull

CANNED COAL
1t Has Filled a Unique Place for Quick
Firing Fuel.

Camel coal has long been will.o'
them its mere mention brings up visions
of wealth. The reason becomes obvious
when its price on the market is compared
with that of ordinary bituminous coal
for in days past camel coal has sold in
the New York market at a price about
three times that of the best bituminous
coal and perhaps double the price of an
thracite. This high price is due to old
causes strong demand and weak supply.
As coal for use in office and house
hold crates, as an enricher, of coal gas,
and as a quick firing coal for use in fire
engines and otherwise, camel coal has
| filled unique place; and these uses,
coupled with its scarcity in the earth,
have made it an object of much search
and many disappointments, because
wherever il is found there has usually
proved TO be very little of it.
OF late years, however, fewer CRATES
are used in the office and the home, and
water gas, enriched with oil has replaced
the old type of coal gas, so that when
the European war broke out the demand
for camel coal as such had largely dis
appeared Then some. people remembered
that many years ago. before oil was
struck in the country, houses were light
ed with oil obtained from camel coal
They remembered that on distillation
camel coal yielded more oil and gas
than could be obtained from ordinary BIZ
luminous coal. They realized that the
sudden demand for high explosives Tor
use in the war required the utilization
of the by products formed in the dis
tillation OF coal, and they argued that if
camel coal when distilled yielded more
oil and gas than other Goals il should be |
very rich in the by products from which I
benzene, toluol, and other explosive bases /
are made, so demand was made for in

BETTER THAN CALOMEL

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.

of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with cai6mel.

These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why

Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the

A COTTON SUBSTITUTE
Is Said to Have Been Discovered in Jap

Toxic, March % The discovery of a
practical substitute for cotton has been
announced at the annual meeting of the
Federation OF Marine Industries. The
announcement was made by X. Hamada
vice president Of the lower house of Par
lament, who said that the discovery was
made in December in the Toxic fibre
laboratory in the course of experiments
on seaweeds.
The variety of seaweed is known as
sugamo or Como guma. II abounds in
Japanese waters and hitherto has been
used as fertilizer. The method of ex.
tracing the fibre is simply to boil the
weeds in I've and then in water mixed
with rice bran, after which the released
fibre is bleached The whole process is
so simple as to be easily possible for fish
ermen and farmers living near the sea

FEET WERE TOO BIG
TO MAKE SOLDIERS
Two Negro Draftees Were Sent Back to
the Farm Because II Would Cost
the Government Too Much to
Keep Them in Shoe
Leather.

Dallas, Tex, March 25.--Whle some
exemption boards have been weighing
the the claims of directors to military
| service who had received long forgotten
i dependents. at least two Texans willing
to serve have received honorable dis
charges because the army decided ii
would put too great strain on the United
| States government to keep them in
shoes.
The recruits recently were discharged
from Camp Travis at San Aptonio be-
cause of the high price of leather. Both
were negroes from the Texas bottom
and both were valiant in their wishes to
get" the German emperor. If either
could have stepped on him, it wonld have
ended the war Each would have worn
shoes number 10 if the army could have
supplied them. 1t was estimated that
shoes would have to be made to order
for them at cost of $50 a pair and so
they were sent back to the farms.
Some of the exemption claims have
been freakish. In Dallas, a fearful claim
ant pictured the suffering of his grand
mother if his support were removed An
investigation proved she had been dead
twenty years, and in the opinion OF the
DbdIu BleHlDtISs IL WIS the Hfsl liHie the
objeetor had thought of it, He was
arrested and is still in Jail.
Only few Texans now ask exemp-
ton on conscientious grounds. Training
camp customs are becoming familiar
to persons in all part of the state and
the conscientious obiector" knows he is
sure of safe, if not savory, job with
the kitchen police.
Dallas negro, suspicious of the vir
tue OF written claims took his evidence
with him. When called before the board,
he herded in seven children and his wife,
and progressed a perfect Willingness to
serve in the army if the board would |
promise to take care of his family He |
was granted exemption.
! Another Dallas man asked the board |

left her to serve with the coIors The |
board was visibly affected and was

had been made to order by a dutiful and

The lines Of effort were indicated along
which the departments of agriculture
and labor, through representatives in va.
rious states cooperating with the agri-
cultural colleges and other agencies, are
working TO furnish assistance. Briefly
rostated, these agencies are doing the
following things; la making survey
of the farm labor situation IN each com.
munity with view To discover possible
SURPRISES OF labor in order TO he ready to

Last year, in spite Of all the Difficult.
ties, the farmers planted the largest
acreages in the history Of the nation,
harvested record crops Of most impor-
tant things except wheat, and succeeded
in greatly increasing the number of live
stock. Since last year skilled farm labor
has been given deferred classification and
the secretary of war has asked for pow
er to furlough soldiers of the national
army if their training permits, so that
they may return To their farms and as
sist II is believed that the farmers of
the nation can, by effective organization
and cooperation, with such assistance as
can be furnished, again overcome labor
difficulties and produce large quantities
Of foods, feedstutfs and livestock.
