MISSIONER Chemical Company, of Boyd

States District Court at Richmond

The property is listed as follows:

plant. $4,000. Some property in New
York.
Wheat threshing is over. and as a
rule. the yield has been small, al
though OF good quality, now and then
a crop would give more than the aver
age yield. but that applies only to a
few. Most farmers give as reason so
much wet, severe weather last winter
in many instances hard freeze came al
most directly after the wheat was
seeded. The snow would have been a
protection had the wheat not been
killed out before it came. Quite a
number in this vicinity raised good
buckwhcat and oats.

SANITARY INSPECTOR
OF VIRGINIA TOWNS
Stnte Bonrd of Health Conducting In
restiEntion-WHl Announce
Results Shortly.

Under the direction OF the State
Board of Health sanitary and health
inspection of Virginia towns is now
being conducted. Inspectors started
OH this work about three weeks ago
and they have already covered much
ground. Their preliminary reports in
dicatc that the results will be in
teresting and valuable.
When the final report is published
each town will be rated relatively and
on the basis OF definite standard. SO
that it will be highly desirable for
every town to have as clean record
as possible, looking at the matter
from the welfare of its own citi-
zens as we'll as from other points OF
view.
In order that local officials may have
an opportunity TO clean up" and cor
root evils that may exist, the rating OF
towns Will DO deferred for the present.
AS soon as an inspector submits his
first report n letter is sent to tibet
Mayor OF the town concerned together
with a copy OF the report. The Mayors
attention is called to the conditions
where they arc found to be menace
&c health. and n is urged to cooperate
with the health authorities in correct
ing existing evils. enforcing the sani-
tary rules and regulations and the
laws pertaining to public health. and
in trying to arouse the people to
.
in neglect of sanitation.
In this way every town will bavc
an opportunity to improve its sanitary
arrangements. and thereby make Il
better showing In the final report. than
would be the cSse If the results OF the
investigation were to be made public
at once.
The war crisis is pointed to by the
health board as emphasizing the i'm
portance of public health questions. In
one of its letters the board says: AT
This time OF war. when our govern
u'ent is bending every effort to the
task or putting this country on war
basis. and sending abroad healthy and
wcll-trained men to night. it is the
duty of every citizen to do his part
to the limit OF his power. Sickness
and the conditions that breed disease
are direct burden to any community
and on the whole nation, and any
thing done to prevent sickness and
disease is patriotic service of very
high order"

HOW GAS SOMETIMES TURNS
AGAINST THOSE WHO RELEASE III
For protection against gas at
tack. piles of faEots have been lighted
in front OF the position to heat the
air SO 1T will make the gas rise. But
this procedure did not produce apprc-
ciable results, all the moro for the
reason that the hct and irritating
smoke from the fire annoys the men.
The advanced positions must be aban-
doncd before the attack; this prccau-
ton is often lost sight of. and more
than one soldier has paid with his life
for this negligence.
The sas attack can also be made
by means of boombs containing more or
less volatile compounds
Such are the products r. B, x and
G. There are very slightly volatile
liquids. which must be split up into
very fine jets in order to obtain the
desired affect. But this can occur only
after an explosion. For this purpose
we generally make use of l..cer,i-
meter shells with percussion fuses and
of medium sized mincwerfer These
four substances, from the most active
to the least active, also act upon the
eyes, the mucous membranes and the
lungs. We charge our i5-cent.meter
shells with seven to eight Kilograms
the mines with fourteen kilos.
Gas BOMBS USELESS
IN ABSENCE OF WIND
Gas bombs cannot be used when
there is no wind whatever, or very
slight wind. The direction of the wind
does not play predominant role still
the wind should be as favorable as
possible. The bombs must serve as
barraee fire. The entire countryside
is infected. Ii the air is too humid.
or il it rains. these slightly volatile
gases descend rapidly to earth with
out being Injurious. but if the sun
comes out afterwards to dry them.
these substances do not become vGla-
tilted until few days later. and then
produce injurious effects. The 15-ccn-
timeter bombs arc three fcurths filed
with irritant substances and only one
fourth with explosives, the artillery
effect being secondary.
The firm of Farbemfabrik Friedrich
Bayer & Co. at Loverkucsen, has turn
ed on, 0.0oo-centime:er shells anc
bombs for "mincwerfcrs" per day.
