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
go off the market. At least this Is
the prediction Of Indianapolis whole
sale druggists, who say that It IL
only matter Of few months until
the oil will be dropped from druggists
price lists. --.F, MI -
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 i'm
portation Of the bean enormously, but
has created 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 a 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.

During the ten-year period ending

The number of denominations COW

the number reported for 1905. This in
crease is the net result of the consOii-
dalton or dropping out of 16 small de-
nominations and the addition of %
small denominations, comprising some
in existence in 1905, but not then
brought to light, and others resulting
from consolidation of formerly indie
pendent churches.

ported, 15,742,262, or 37.4 per cent.
were Roman Catholics; 25O,340, or six

In comparing the figures given 1t

Alien Property Custodian
Is Title Of New Official
Created Since War Began

"Alien property custodian" is the IT,
tie of new official created by an act
Of congress of October 6, 1917, ks,.wn
as the trading with the enemy art"
It relates to the handling and dispo-
sition of productive properties in the
country previously owned and Oper-
ated by companies or corporations Of
country now at war with the United
States. In effect, it confiscates such
properties, temporarily, leaving their
final disposition for future settlement
Section 6 Of the act says:
"That the president is author
lied to appoint, prescribe the duties of
and fix the salary (not to exceed
$1,000 per annum) of an official to be
known as the alien property custo-
dian, who shall be empowered to re-
ceive all money and property In the
United States due or belonging to an
enemy. or ally of an enemy, which may
be paid, conveyed, transferred, assign
ed or delivered to said custodian un-
der the provisions of this act, and to
hold, administer and account for the
same under the general direction Of
the president and so provided in this
act" :-
Every corporation incorporated
within the United States, and every
unincorporated. company doing busi-
ness here which issues stock certifi.
Gates is required to send the alien
property custodian a list of its officers
or stockholders residing in a country
with which we are at war, together
with the amount Of stock owned by
such person. The alien property Gus
todian is vested with all the powers
of a common law trustee in respect
of all property which shall come into
his possession in pursuance of the pro-
visions of the act, and may manage
such property and do anything in re-
spect thereof necessary to its control
and operation during the war, its ulti.
mate disposition to be settled after
ward. There is reason to believe that
personal representatives of the Ger.
man government, perhaps even the
kaiser himself, have become stock
holders in certain business concerns
in thi, country and the "alien property
custodian" has declared his intention
to root them out.

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 hut the fact that every soldier
has one means that the work done by
the American women IL q big comfort
to the soldiers now on the firing line.
This fact should be solace to Ameri-
can women who have made them as
well as to the soldiers. This statement
40 made on the authority Of Maj. James
ii. Perkins, American Red Cross com
missioner to Europe. It is added that
more socks and tobacco are needed.

As crowding lowers the vitality,
each bird should be allowed at least

u Ventilation should be secured by

weather and during severe cold spells.
Provision should be made for the larg-
est amount Of sunlight possible In the

Of preventing disease. Windows should
be 30 constructed that the sun can
touch every part Of the hoor some
time during the day.
It Is essential that the house be

How to Can
Without Sugar
Fruits win Keep Pefectly When

IT,. keep canning, sugar or no sugar"
should be the motto Of housewives
throughout the country this fall. If
you can't get enough sugar for home
canning put up your fruit without it,
advises the United States department
of agriculture. The products will
keep perfectly until time when
more sugar is available or until a
sugar substitute program has been
worked out. Fruits put up In this
way are excellent for pie-filling and
salads and may be used in desserts,
buildings, ices and punches.
In canning fruit without sugar, can
the product the day it is picked. Gull,
stem, seed, and clean fruit by plac-
ang in strainer and pouring cold wa
ter over it. Pack the product care
fully in hot glass Jars or tin cans
until full. Use tablespoon. wood

purposes. Pour boiling hot water
over the product in the hot jar. Place
rubbers and caps In position, not tight.
