DRAINAGE GOES INTO CAVES
How Geologist Solved Problem for
Big Government Chemical
Plant.

The science Of geology attains one
OF its highest detectives when 1t pre-
sents deduction that points the way
to obtain practical results. An illus
tration of such a deduction was given
In connection with the proposed dis
posal of chemical waste from one Of
the new government plants now under
construction at Sheffield, Ala, for the
fixation of atmospheric nitrogen.
This plant, says an exchange, is so
situated that surface drainage from
1t would be difficult and expensive,
and, furthermore, there seems to be
danger that the discharge of chemical
waste into the neighboring streams
would produce bad results.
The problem was incidentally sub
mitted to geologist, who ascertained
that the plant rests on limestone, a
kind of rock that is likely to be honey
combed by calves. He advised trying
underground drainage by means of
drill holes.
The plan proposed met with the
usual opposition from so-called ''prac-
teal men," who made the customary
disparaging remarks about scientific
theories" but trial hole was started
close to a small lake near the plant,
and when the drill reached a depth Of
1.775 feet and trench had been dug
from the lake to the hole the water
quickly disappeared through some sub
terranean passage.
Geology also won some local praise
by reason of the lake bottom yielding
up about five bushels of fresh fish.
Other holes are to be drilled to in
sure adequate drainage when the plant
is in operation.

Hot heavy foods and iced drinks

In hot weather. The weak ones haven't

overworked stomach Is q starter Of
untold misery for Its owner.

feeling after eating-stomach pains.

belching. food repeating-it is the dam
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about 1t In this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is a commonsense
way. No starvation plan Of diet Is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get good appetite In
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.

Federal Inspection Protects Food
From Time of Strengthening
to Mess Tables.
MANY INSPECTORS ARE USED
Standards Of Inspection Are Based on
Best Scientific knowledge Of Pres
ent Day-ReguIations and Prao-
tees Stringent.
Soupee, soupee. soupe-e-e
Without a single bean,
Porkee, porkee, porke-e-e
Without a streak of lean,
Coffee, coffee, coffee-e-e

When bugle blows "beans," the call
that is liked best of all, when our
soldiers and sailors join in with the
time-honored lines just quoted, and
then when they line up for army
''mess" or navy "chow," they do so
with full confidence that the meat
they will eat will be as wholesome and
as fit as practical science can assure.
The reason Is that the federal in
spection service which has protected
the civil population Of the United
States from bad meat In interstate
commerce has been extended to cover
completely the meat and meat prod
ucts supplied for the American army
and navy. Sixty-seven inspectors of
the bureau of animal industry Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture are now with the army and thirty
are with the navy.
When the present war began the sec
rotary of war requested the secretary
of agriculture to assign meat inspec-
tors to the various environments, train
ing camps, forts, posts and other
places where large numbers of troops
were in training. This followed sim
liar service by inspectors when Ameri-
can troops were modified on the Mex
ican border In 1915.
Regulations Stringent.
The bureau men are inspecting, Sc
lecting and handling meats and fats
for military consumption, and the OPP
erations are under supervision from
the time the live animals are driven
into the slaughtering chambers until
the finished product Is delivered in
good condition to the mess cooks. The
standards Of inspection are based on
the best scientific knowledge Of the
present day, and are sustained by the
unanimous views Of all the great sci
entists Of the world who are experts
on the subjects involved. American
regulations and practices are fully as
stringent as those Of any other ma
ton, and In some cases they are even
more stringent.
Meat From Two Sources.
The army gets its meat from two
sources-from the quartermaster corps
and from private concerns. All meats
supplied by the quartermaster corps
are prepared In establishments oper-
ated under federal inspection, and the
majority of these products are further
inspected In these plants by army meat
inspectors assigned there for the pur-
pose. Examinations made by inspec-
tors at points of consumption are to
detect unsoundness which may have
developed after the products left the
packing house and to determine wheth-
or they comply with specifications and
contracts.
Inspectors also advise quartermas-
tiers with regard to proper storage and
handling Of meats. keep these officers
informed Of the supply on hand, make
sure that the oldest packs are issued
first and assist In other ways to pre-
vent loss from deterioration. Troops
must purchase in the open market fresh

eminent. and how they were giving
their last dollar for the cause Of de-
mocracy. Using Charlie Chaplin as an

Of this celebrated movie player, the
mother told how Chaplin had given
hundreds of dollars to the cause for
Liberty bonds and Thrift stamps. The
lad remarked:
"Why, that's nothing. act as
Charlie Chaplin for the show and make
80 cents, and I give all Of this for
Thrift stamps. so he has nothing on
me. for I give all / have each week."

GULL GROWING BULLETS

A flock Of growing pullets
nearly always contains a consid-
cradle proportion of birds very
much under size or in other
ways poorly developed. Most
poultry keepers are inclined to
keep these until the flock is
culled at maturity. 1t is much
better to Gull them out as soon
as they are marked as conspicu-
ously backward.
In war time, with feed scarce,
press Of other more important
work Is the only excuse for let
ting them remain. They will
never make profit, and the
sooner they are eaten the less
will be the loss. Even where
fOraging is good 1t does not pay
to keep them. 1t is much better
to let the good pullets have all
the feed.

The hens greatest profit-producing
period Is the first and second years,

If possible, mark the pullets that lay

Soft-shelled eggs are often caused
by fowls being confined. becoming
overfed, and from lack of mineral mat

they should receive all they want.
All diseased birds should be Isolated

the amount.
One reason why more attention is
not given to poultry raising on the
