Demonstrate Possibility
of Obtaining Potash From
Chilean Nitrate Fields

Some of the profits made in NUM-
tions by Americans in the last three
years is being put to good use in I'M
covering new resources to aid our pro-
duction and establish independence
from German domination, says Finan-
cial America. One essential of which
our farms stand most in need is pot
ash. Germany is the possessor of the
worlds largest known deposits. Our
crops have long suffered for the want
of this plant food with German ports
all closed German leaders boast that
they will force commercial concessions
from America in return for potash
after the war.
To relieve this situation comes the
news that the Du Pont interests Operat-
ing in the Chilean nitrate fields have
demonstrated the possibility of extract
ing potash in large and profitable
quantities from nitrate ores. This
opens a new source of supply in the
field that also produces the chief ma
terial in explosives, which is also an
other essential plant food, that is, nj
trate.
The Du Pont company has performed
a patriotic service at this time in CIV
ing the secret of its processes to the
allied and neutral countries operating
plants in Chile. All are strengthened
against the common enemy of mankind
and one more club for the neutrals is
lost to the PruSsian.

Do Not Hoard Canned Foods
if You Have a Large Supply

What difference a long row of
canned foods in your fruit closet makes
in your state of mind
1t answers the question, "What am
going to have for dinner tonight and
how am going to get it?" It also
does away with the terrors of the un-
expected guest. Your problem is
solved, the row of canned foods has
simplified life for you.
Last summer the entire country was
smitten with the healthy contagion of
canning. Women who had always deli
cately avoided even speaking of what
went on in their kitchens, rolled up
their sleeves and spent hours studying
and putting into effect the ''cold pack
method, other women who generally
only preserved" last summer canned
vegetables, meats, soups and, some of
them, even fish.
Now that we have all this canned
foodstuff on hand, don't hoard, use it!

OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAN
How Mrs. John Hays Hammond Won
Pardons From Grim Old loom
Paul" Kruger.

John Hays Hammond, an American
citizen, was In prison, under sentence
of death. He had been tried and con-
victed of high treason to the South
African Republic. One Of four leaders
of the reform movement in the Trans.
vaal he was charged with completely
In the famous jameson raid, found
guilty, and sentenced to die.
Only one person lived in the Trans
vaal with sufficient power to set aside
the death sentence passed upon the
man who is known today as the great
est mining engineer in the United
States. This was Dom Paul Kruger,
then president of the South African
Republic. He was an old man--nar-
row, bigoted and possessed of an in
tense hatred for the eager, grasping
strangers who he believed had sought
his country only to despoil 1t.
John Hays Hammond was among the
most enterprising and, consequently,
one of the most disliked, of the foreign
residents of the Transvaal. For years
he had been employed as an engineer;
first by Barney Barnato, the English
mining operator, and later by cecil
Rhodes, to locate diamonds in Dom
Paul's country. Dom Paul disliked
him. He disliked all men who brought
swarms of eager reckless Adventures
into his country. And he made lie as
difficult for them as he could.
In 1896 the world was startled by the
news that British adventurer, Doctor
Jameson, had, led a raiding party OF
armed men into the Transvaal. Inc
raid failed. John Hays Hammond
was among those arrested on the ac-
cusation of having instigated jane
sons attack on the South African re-
public. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to die.
But the brave, cool-headed wife OF
the eminent American mining engineer
did not intend that anything disagree
able should happen to her husband.
Ever since their marriage, In 1851
Mrs. John Hays Hammond had 1ol-
lowed the fortunes of her young en-
gineer, no matter where they took nun.
But when they threw him into jail
under death sentence, she decided
that it was time for her to interfere
She made up her mind to see Dom
Paul Kruger and tell him that she had
come to save him from the crime OF
putting an innocent man to death. 1t
was not easy to see President hru-
GER but Mrs. Hammond proved equal
to the task. 1t was not easy TO con-
vince man who harbored deep, si-
lent contempt for women, that wom-
an was worth listening to; but Mrs.
Hammond was successful. Before she
left his office, Mr.. Kruger had prom
ised to spare her husbands life. The
president Of the Transvaal republic
kept his word to Natalie Hammond
Her husbands sentence was commut-
ed to Imprisonment for 10 years and
later on, he was freed on payment OF
a fine of $125,OOO, and Mrs. Hammond
had the extreme happiness Of knowing
that through her intercession, not only
her husbands life but the lives OF the
men arrested with him had been saved.

Homemade Solution Makes
Pasteurized Cream Whip.

People who use pasteurized- cream
often have trouble in getting their
cream to whip. This is due to the
substance called viscogen, being de-
stroyed by heating. This trouble can
easily be remedied by adding small
amount of homemade viscogen, which
can be prepared as follows:
First dissolve two and half parts
sugar in five parts water.
Second, dissolve one part OF quick
lime in three parts water.
Mix the two solutions and let stand
few hours. Siphon off, or pour or,
the clear liquid, and what is left is
an excellent substitute for viscogen,
which with proper care, will keep
for a long time. Use about a tea
spoonful for a pint of cream.

Lord of the Sun and Moon,
Great Magician and Great
Thief" Monarch's Title

The youthful shah of Persia has an
amazing array of titles, ranging from
shah-in-shah, (kihg of kings) to such
poetical attributes as ''The Rose of De-
light" 'The Branch of Honor and
"The Mirror of Virtue;;' while his ma
jesty of Arracan used to be proclaimed
as Emperor of Arracan, possessor Of
the white elephant and the two ear
rings, and in virtue of this possession
legitimate heir Of Pegu and Brahma
Lord of the twelve kings who place
their heads under his feet"
Somewhere in the wilds of Afghanis-
tan there is an Ameer who boasts of as
many high dignities as there are days
in the year, among them being:
1.-THE sovereign of the universe, whom
God created to be as accomplished as
the moon at her plenitude; whose eye
glitters like the northern star; a king
as spiritual as a ball is round, who,
when he rises, shades all of his people,
and from under whose feet sweet
odor is waited" But perhaps the most
remarkable title any monarch was ever
proud to own was borne by the king of
Monomotapa, whose praises were sung
by his court poets and musicians as
Lord of the Sun and Moon, Great Ma
gician and Great Thief"
Another striking example of royal
dignity is that of the former emperor
of China, whose recent coup d'etat
ended in such failure. He was hailed
by his subjects as 'sThe protector of
religion, whose fame is infinite and of
surprising excellence exceeding the
moon, the unexpanded jessamine buds
and the stars, whose feet are as fra
grant to the noses of other kings as
flowers to bees, most noble patron and
God by custom"

( For the Poultry Grower

We have in this country 104 vari-
cites of domestic fowls which have
been described and recognized as
standard breeds. There are various
classifications. Among these are such
terms as fancy and practical; eggs
and meat according to their place of
origin, etc.
For instance, all of the recognized
breeds are said to be practical except
the bantams and games which are
said to be fancy or ornamental.
Under the so-called egg breeds are
grouped most of those that originated
around or near the Mediterranean sea.
