Absorbent Cotton Twice Used.

Through the ingenuity OF French
chemist who was struck by the fact
that in the military hospitals Of Paris
alone about AGO pounds of absorbent
cotton was used daily, a process has
been developed which makes 1t posi-
Bile to use soiled cotton second time.
The first step is the removal of all
grease by boiling ten or twelve hours
in soda solution, or by treating 1t
under pressure for three hours in a
sealed container filled with the same
solution. After this the cotton Is thor
oughly washed In machine and all
the moisture removed by placing 1t In
a high-speed centrifugal drier. Drying
is followed by bleaching with hypo-
chlorine of lime and second washing
and drying. Finally the purified pro-
duct is carded, packed and again ster-
ilized.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Are Aviators Born2

'aThere was time when 1t was held
that a man must be especially born for
laerOnautic duties" writes Henry
woodhouse, vice president of the
Aerial League of America, in Every
1bOdy's. iEs,{ al stras4,sT' g-', rSe5-s@s.
Experience had brought out the
fact that the average young man
can make an excellent aviator. Cap
tain Guynemer. Major Bishop, Cap
tain William Thaw, Captain Ball of
the Lafayette escadrille. and practical
,ly all the famous aviators were not
men who impressed anybody with be-
ing different from other young men.
"Of the thousands of allied aviators
there are probably not 800 men who
had seen more than a few months OF
military service before joining the air
service. Most of them had never seen
any military service.
'In planning an organization Tor
the selection and training of aviators,
the aircraft board and signal corps of
the United States have had to prepare
TO deal entirely with men who had
never seen military service, as other
countries have DONE" r,-..

Patch Skull With Patients Own Ribs.

The replacing of destroyed portions
of skull with layers of cartilage taken
from the patients own ribs is one
of the latest methods of healing war
injuries. III. Warren Woodroffe, sur
geon of the Ulster Volunteer hospital
I'm France, describes the method which
has been successfully tried on num-
Der of severely wounded men.
/ Cutting down to the ribs parallel to
the breast bone, the surgeon slices off
thin layers of the cartilage which at
taches the bony ribs to the breast
bone. These are held in the gap
caused by the destruction of the skull
after the scalp has been turned back.
The scalp is then stitched back in place.
Within a few weeks, instead of having
no protection to the underlying brain,
a hard layer of cartilage, firm though
slightly elastic, Is formed.

The Kitchen in War Time.

The private kitchen has got to go,
1t is scarcely possible to doubt that
now. With gas and fuel at their pres
ent prices, and likely to mount stead
lily higher. the great majority, as winter
advances, will certainly be driven to
living in one room. The economy eff
fected by that simple measure will be
enormous, and it entails no very Sc
rious hardship, given satisfactory ar
rangement of the cooking problem.
That problem could be practically
solved tomorrow by the voluntary sur
render, even In a very limited degree,
of the domestic isolation in which the
British family lives. If every two
households agree TO dine together only,
il would be more than half solved. 1t
is a matter in which the merits of a
voluntary system over any compulsory
arrangement are more obvious even
than usual. But If the public contin-
ues to set its face obstinately against
it, the compulsion will certainly come.

Food-After the War.

Whatever other blessings peace may
bring it will not bring instant relief to-
the masses who are now distressed by
food shortage and its natural cOnse-
quence, high prices. There will be as
many mouths to feed when the armies
are demobilized as there are now. 1t
is true that the fare of the soldiers in
most European countries is more lib
eral than that Of the civil population,
but no statesman will take comfort in
the prospect of masses of disbanded
soldiers reduced to the level of civil
undernourishment. And besides the
civil populations that are now endur-
ing semi-starvation uncOmplainingly,
recognizing that no relief can be ex-
pected while the energies of their gov
eminent are engrossed by war, will be
far less patient when peace returns.
More food, not less, will be required

Britain Leans to Decimal System.

The movement in England looking
toward the adoption Of the decimal
system for currency, which has the
backing of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce of the United Kingdom is
gaining ground. The London Statist
states that the association has resolved
to press the matter upon the attention
of the government aud to urge the in
PRODUCTION of bib in parliament. 1t
is proposed to retain the sovereign as
standard value of thousand mills, the
half sovereign 500 mills, the four shil-
ling piece 200 mills, the twO-shilling
piece or form 100 mills, the half
form. commonly known as the shilling,
so mills, and the siXpence 25 mills. OF
subsidiary coinage it is recommended
to coin ten-mill pieces and five-mill
pieces. Below these ii is suggested
that four-mill, three-mill and twO-mill
piece also be coined, and If found de-
sirable a coin representing one mill.
AS the farthing is so little used it is
not regarded as likely that anything
below the value of half penny will be
