KEEPS VITAL POINTS SAFE
Medical Explanation Of Work Per-
formed by Fluid Which Bathes
Brain and Spinal Cord.

Until very recently the exact role
played by the cerebro-spinal fluid
that watery substance which bathes
the brain and spinal cord-was not
understood. But nowadays It is
common practice among surgeons to
squirt drugs into the tissues contain
ing this fluid or to draw out drop or
two of 1t for examination
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association, commenting on an ad-
dress by DIR. w. D. Halliburton be-
fore the Royal Society of Medicine.
says he describes the cerebro-spinal
fluid as an ideal physiologic solution
in which the exQuisitely sensitive nerv-
Gus system is always bathed.
This fluid does not, like the lymph.
arise from the blood by exudation of
serum through the walls of the capil-
)sries. but is the product of the Sc
choroid plexuses In the ventricles of
the brain. The pressure under which
the fluid always exists is due to the
secretory pressure of these cells and
not to the blood. And there are
scarcely any proteins found In it.
Halliburton says that in order to keep
out the harmful proteins, which would
poison the nerves, the harmless ones
also are almost completely excluded.
The membranes that line the spaces
in which the fluid Is found seem to
permit substances to pass from it to
the blood. but to be impermeable (ex-
cept for oxygen) in the direction from
the blood to the fluid. The value of
this arrangement is that when poi
sons enter the blood. as they do so
easily. they are kept away from the
delicate nerves.

300 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangellne Booth, lead
er of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in report Just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over a year ago to es-
.ablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
1--WE will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, land the need
itself should Impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work of the seven or
ganizations, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for drive for
funds. Each Is vital cog In vast
machine for human relief, and each il
indispensable, serving its particular
elements In its own way.
"The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared in privation and
trained to every phase of human mis-
cry and how to cope with It Perhaps
that accounts In some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.

we toll on practical basis. We learn.

will require a small army of men
to take the income tax returns of
persons subject to the new law.
Collector of Internal Revenue
E. B. Craig today announced
that 40 officers will start from his
headquarters on January 1st, and
on January 2, every one of them
will be on the job in the county
assigned him, to meet the people
and help them make out their in
come tax returns. The officer as
signed to this county is due to ar
rive at So. Pittsburg on Feb, /
and to remain there until Feb. 6,
both dates inclusive, also at Jas
per Feb. Z to 9. and Whitwell
Feb. II to Feb. 13.
1T will be we'll for every un-
married person whose net income
for 1917 is $1,000 or over, and
every married person living with
wife or husband whose net in
come for 1917 is So, or over, to
call on the income tax man and
learn whether or not. they have
any tax to pay" Collector Craig
said today. THE person subject
to tax who doesn't make return
in the time prescribed, is going
to regret it. The Government
will get after all income tax
slackers.
There's hardlya business man,
merchant or professional man
who won't have to make return
of income. Farmers, as a class,
will have to pay the tax. The
safe thing to do is for every per-
son who had a total income OF
81, 900 or $1,000, as the case may
be. and who is not sure about
what deductions the law allows
him, to play it safe by calling on
the income tax man.
The man in the field will have
forms for everybody and persons
who expect to call on him need
not trouble themselves to write
the Internal Revenue Office for
them"

made potash, however, is just as val
liable rs the potash salts that were
formerly obtained from Germany.
Acid phosphate is scarce, due to the
fact that there is a shortage OF sui
! phuric acid-a necessary compound in
the manufacture Of acid phosphate
Sulphuric acid Is scarce, because py-
rites, from which most Of it Is made,
has been coming from Spain and ships
are not now available with which to
transport IT.
The fertilizer manufacturers have
been compelled to turn to the domes-
tic pyrites, and readjust their manufac-
turing plants to the production of sui
phuric acid from birthstone obtained
from Louisiana and Texas. The gov
ernment is requiring of the fertilizer
manufacturers sulphuric acid in large
amounts to be used in the manufacture
of explosives.
Then, too, there is considerable diff
fculty in obtaining supplies OF rock
phosphate, because of the transporta-
ton shortage.
The supply of nitrates has also been
eurtailed because large amounts OF sui
phAte of ammonia are being taken for
refrigeration purposes, and the manu-
fAsturs OF munitions. Cotton seed
meal, valuable source Of nitrogen, is
being used more and mere fer feeding
live stock Tankags, another splendid
source d nitrogen. 10 also being ased
for tbs sam purpose; consequently cot
ton seed meal and tankago are high In
price.
Nitrate OF soda 10 more expensive at
the Chile mines, and shipping rates
have increased enormously, and nuni-
ton requirements are heavy.
The fertilizer manufacturers find 1t
hard to secure bags for shipping, since
there 10 a tremendous shortage OF bur
lap.
Thus It can be easily seen that 1t win
be very difficult to obtain necessary
fertilizer materials, and the farmer
must take due notice and act accords
ingly if he would make sure OF getting
his plant food.
Order At Once
The farmer must not overlook the
fact that transportation difficulties are
increasing daily. The railroads are lit.
orally overwhelmed. They have, there
fore, been compelled to rule that fer
tilisers and freight Ia general must
move in full ear load lots. which means
oars must be loaded to their maximum
capacity.
Therefore, Mr. Farmer, order yoWr
fertilizers NOW; order PLENTY OF
them; use them literally and judicioua-
", and thus secure maximum yields Of
crops, and so do your part to supply
the crying needs Of the world. while
at the same time you increase year
