spondingly less English clay in their

spondingiy less English clay in their mixtures.
 However, our own complete depend ance upon English clay continues. We must rely on English clay as chief ingredient of the dishes we eat from, the paper in our books and mag azine, the porcelain in our electric light socket and half a dozen other articles of less general use.
 Fortunately it is fact that far less English clay is necessary to proper manufacture of paper than is now fused. Besides domestic clay there are many other substances of do- mestic origin that could be used in the body, not the finish of this paper. Also over half of the English clay we use Is consumed in making paper. So that if a shortage of English should develop it would not be highly serious until the shortage became very great, until there was only a half of the normal supply or less available.

Production of Platinum in the United
 States in 1917,

According to figures compiled by J. NJ. Hill, of the United States Geologi- cal survey, Department of the Interior, only 605 ounces ot crude platinum was sold by placer mines in 1917. This is less than the sales in 1916 by about 100 ounces. The imports Of crude platinum amounted to 21,e21 ounces, not counting the 1000 ounces of Rus sian crude platinum which was re- ceived by the Government late in De- cember.
 During 1917 refiners made about 5s,- 900 ounces of platinum, 4,S00 ounces of palladium, SS3 ounces of esmiridium, which can be called new metals" Of this amount about 7.400 ounces probobly originated from domestic materials.
 The saving of scrap platinum of all classes resulted in much larger re- coveries of secondary platinum metals than in previous years, a total of 72,- 900 ounces being recovered, as com . pared with 4S,000 ounces in 1916.

WASTED ENERGY
Why Some People With Large Appetites Fail
 To Gain Flesh

Many people who have large ap- petifes never can seem to gain flesh or strength and the reason for this is because they get little nourishment from the food they eat. This means that the weakened system is unable to take up the nourishment which the food contains and this energy is wasted. If you want to gain flesh you must take a food that your weakened system can easily take up-such a food as Father Johns Medicine which is absolutely pure and wholesome. Begin taking it today and see how you gain in weight and health. It is guaranteed free from alcohol or dan gerous drugs in any form.
 Start today taking Father Johns Medicine after meals and at bedtime and see how promptly you gain weight and new strength.

AM ERicAN NEEDS
FOR ENGLISH CLAY
Necessary To Depend Each Year
 Upon Large Imports.

Most of us think clay is something as common and abundant as sand or gravel Consequently it comes as a surprise to be told by the shipping board committee on mineral imports and exports in Washington, that even in this day of great shortage of ocean going ships we have to import from England every year 100000 to 25o,000 long tons of clay. Last year we im- ported more than 250,000 tons over the ocean.
 Furthermore, great part of this clay comes over in steamers loaded full and the rest in big steamers load ed with clay upto 50 per cent and pacity. These ships put into Fowey, England, for their freight. To get this clay on and off the boats re- quires ten days on each cargo. An insignificant percentage of the clay is shipped as ballast. This represents small dots loaded into big liners at Liverpool. But it will be seen that the importation of English clay con- sumes an important amount of ship tonnage measured in days time lost because of natural delays incident to the transport of this freight.
 Why do our manufacturers pay the high freight rates now necessary in order to obtain an article like clay from England? There is, as we all know, an abundance of clay in this country. A great deal of high grade clay is produced here, and of a char acter suitable for pottery, porcelains and other articles which require clays of special excellence in their manu facture. But not much over half of clay of this grade that our industries | is domestic. When war broke out in 1914 only third of it was domestic. We have not been able to develop and equip our deposits fast enough to make these English clay imports un-
 necessary. In fact it is doubtful whether we will produce as much high grade clay in 1918 as we did in 1917 Our manufacturers want the clay but they can not get anywhere near az much as they want The reduced out put is due to railroad and operating conditions and is not related to the character or sale of the deposits whicf are capable of large production.
 1 Domestic producers do not mine their clay quite as cleanly as theil English competitors Nor is tho domestic clay as uniform in character
 It will not bring the high prices paid | for English clay. But more could bc
 sold if it could be produced and carried
 to its market. Still more could be
 marketed if cleaner, more uniform
 clay were produced, for in that even
