Castor Oil Is Soon to Be
Off the Market, According
To Druggists Prediction

Castor oil, the public's one unfail-
ing remedy for all Ills, is about to
60 off the market. At least this Is
the prediction Of Indianapolis whole
sale druggists, who say that it is
only matter Of a few months until
the oil will be dropped from druggists
price lists.
Again the war is to blame. The
oil Is made from the castor bean,
which for years has been imported by
the United States from the East In
dies by the thousands Of pounds. Now
the war not only has curtailed the Inn
portation Of the bean enormously, but
has created a demand for the oil de-
rived from 1t that would have taxed
the capacity Of manufacturers had
they been able to- secure the normal
supply of the raw product.
The government has found, drug
dealers say, that no other Oil Is as
perfect lubricant for the type Of
engines used in the country's air
planes as castor oil. Consequently
orders have gone forth from Wash
ington diverting the present supply
Of castor oil in drug warehouses from
civilian to federal use.

CAN'T KEEP A ~
GOOD SHIP DOWN

salvage ship, however, has been lost
through enemy action.
One of the largest Oil tank steam
ships was mined and caught fire.
There was a heavy explosion and the
decks were flooded with burning oil.
The cargo consisted largely of benzine.
Most persons would conclude that the
case was hopeless. Not so. The ves-
sci was scuttled by gun fire and thus
the fire was extinguished. Then divers
plugged all the shot holes, besides clos
Ing other apertures. On being pump
ed out the vessel floated and was
forthwith taken to repairing port.
New Pump Is Valuable.
As showing how valuable is the new
submersible electric motor pump, a
recently torpedoed ship which carried
cargo (mainly foodstuffs) Of more
than $15,0O0,000 value had q hole 40
feet long by % feet deep in her side.
She was taken in tow by rescue tugs,
but went down before time had served
to beach her suitably. No ordinary
pumping power would have served the
need but the new type pump enabled
stokehold, engine room and all her af-
ter holds to be pumped out, so that
cargo could be discharged and the ves-
sci taken higher up the beach. Then
the tightening process was continued
until the vessel was floated and taken
into dock, practically all her cargo be-
ing saved.
The number Of the ships of the mer-
camille marine actually salved by the
department In two years from 1915 to
1917 was 260. All these vessels were
Of big tonnage. For the present year
the monthly totals Of such vessels
salved were: January, IA; February,
Al; March, 81; April, SO, and May, 10.
Thus the department has saved 4O7
important vessels of the mercantile
marine. This does not iacNde vessels
salved outside Of home yaters.
The larger figures Of the latter ne
riod were due, not to increased enemy
activity but to improved salvage meth
ods.
Many risks are run by the divers.
particularly from gases generated by
decomposed vegetables and meat in
the holds of sunken ships, deaths hav-
ing resulted from this cause. Grain. It
seems develops sulphuretted hydro
gen, which occasions blindness and
violent sickness.
A chemist, however, has found a
preparation which when sprayed on a
rotting cargo Immediately kills the
gases and enables men to carry on
their work In safety.

Half of Torpedoed Craft of Great
Britain Have Been
SaIvaged.
METHODS GREATLY IMPROVED
Much Greater Weights Than Believed
Possible Are Now Being Lifted
No Hope Of Ever Raising
lusitania.

London.-Of 400 British ships sunk
in the last two and half years at
least so per cent have been raised
from the bottom Of the sea. The or
ganization responsible-the Admiralty
Salvage departments composed en-
tirely Of experts employed by COM
mercial firm which engaged in the bust
ness before the war. Ships were so
cheap then, however, that often 1t did
not pay to raise sunken wreck and
restore her to seagoing condition.
Things are very different now, and
the result is that invention has been
stimulated to an extraordinary extent.
1t used to be considered. that 1,5OO
tons was the greatest weight that
could be lifted from under water by
wire ropes. A sunken government col
lier that was obstructing fairway
was lifted out Of the mud recently and
carried away by four lifting ships, with
sixteen 9-inch wire ropes, and the
deadweight carried was calculated at
2,750 tons. The wreck was shifted
one mile at the first lift, and so was
gradually taken to the beach, patched
up and sent off to the repairing yard.
She went back into service and made
several voyages before torpedo end
ed her career altogether.
Cannot Raise Lusitania.
Ships sunk in deep water cannot be
salved. 1t iA not expected that the
Lusitania, for example, will ever be
lifted. Divers cannot work in more
than 25 fathoms successfully, though
for special purposes they may some
times go down to 35 fathoms for
brief spell Of work. ~
The bulk Of the ships saved have
been sunk in less than 20 fathoms, or
have been towed inshore by rescue
tugs, and have gone aground in fairly
easy positions.
The salvage men face considerable
risks, not only from bad weather but
also from submarine attack. Only one

Wounded Are Only Anxious to Get
Back Where the Battle
Is Raging.
Only CONTEMPT FOR ENEMY
Say When They Get Into Actual Fight
ing Contact With FSe There
Is No Fight Left
in Him.

London.-A naval attache who saw
about 80 American marines in hospital
suffering from wounds or gassinS in
the recent German offensive found
every one of them full of cheer regard
ing the future; every one anxious to
get well and be back In the fighting
line. And every one Of them held a
poor opinion Of Fritz as fighting man.
They were unanimous, the attache de-
clared, in stating that the Germans
were long-distance fighters only. AS one
Of them said:
"They are not so bad when they are
80 yards away with machine gun, but
at close quarters the German soldiers
are no good"
Marine after marine asserted that
when he and his comrades got into ac-
tual fighting contact with the enemy
there wss no tight LEFT in him. Then
the Germans would throw down their
guns, and, waving their hands over
their heads, cry out "Kamerad!"
Feel Contempt for Huns.
"Our men," added the attache, "gave
me the impression of looking with ut
ter contempt upon the German soldiers,
who can fight only when they feel that
they have the protection of artillery
and gas. and surrender when 1t comes
to hand to hand fighting.
"Far from feeling the slightest dread
Of the enemy, every man expressed
eagerEess to get out Of hospital and
return to the front. Every one Of them
wanted chance of getting even with
the Germans for having been gassed
or wounded.
"The men were justly proud of the
record that the marines had made, and
their morale appeared to be Of the
very highest quality. The cheerful
ness Of all, including some infantry in
the wards, may be summarized by the
remark Of one recovering from gas !:
Why he said, there's nothing in 1t.
When all Of us marines get going, we
will wipe Fritz off the map, and we
will eat our next Christmas dinner at
home at that"

American Red Cross Gives
Every Soldier Comfort Kit

Every American soldier now enter
Ing the trenches carries an American
Red Cross comfort kit, containing
towel, shirt, writing paper, pencil,
soap, handkerchief, socks, mirror and
tobacco. The number of kits cannot
be stated but the fact that every soldier
has one means that the work done by
the American women is big comfort
to the soldiers now on the firing line.
This fact should be a solace to Ameri-
can women who have made them as
well as to the soldiers. This statement
is made on the authority of Maj. James
81. Perkins, American Red Cross COM
missioner to Europe. 1t is added that
more socks and tobacco are needed.

"Autochir," Name for a Truck
Train Carrying Special Loads

The word "autochir" has been in
vented by Americans in France to de-
scribe truck train carrying special
type Of load toward the front. The
first syllable Of the word is easy
enough to understand; the second is
from the word "chirurgical," the old
way Of spelling surgical. The Red
Cross motortruck trains, which have
been given the name, carry q complete
tent hospital Of 200 beds. One of the
trucks transports an operating room
and another sterilizing room. The
other trucks, Of which there are usual
ly 18, carry double tenting, sturdy
framework. floors In sections. window
frames, heating stoves and full equip
ment for diet Kitchens.
