The ministry of food states that IN

have been carrying out experiments In
order to find suitable and economical
ways Of eking out the available but
ter and margarine supplies by mixing

ducing cheap and palatable substitu-
tutes. says the London Times. These
experiments have shown that an ex-

ounces Of butter or margarine and one
teaspoonful of salt. Stir thoroughly
with the back of d wooden spoon until
the whole is quite smooth. The but

How Do Men Break Down.

Be assured that there is no chance
of your breaking down-although there
will be times when you VIII try to
fool yourself with this idea. This
thought Of breaking down indeed il
one of the Illusions of mediocrity. It
Is the excuse which every lazy man
presents to himself. 1t is moral astig-
matism. The great fact is that men
do not break down from overwork so
much as is commonly supposed. AS
they go upward In the scale of in
creased activity, increased RESPONSE
bilitry only acts upon them as nat
ural stimulant and carries them along
II hard work and worry killed men so
easily, most of the successful business
men Of America would be dead al.
ready. MOI What kills men is due
more to what they take into their
stomachs rather than what they take
Into their minds.-Thomas L. Mason,

VELOCITY OF BIG SHELLS
Geometer Uses Problem Of How Long
Time Is Required for Stone to
Fall to Center of Earth.

Studying the velocity of shells and
bullets fired in the war led Maurice
Sanger, French geometer, to turn
to the old question of the time II
would take stone to fall to the center
Of the earth. His conclusion was that
1t would take about 20 minutes "a sec.
onds.
Gassenddi, who gave the subject
much thought In the last century, made
the time 20 minutes even. Mersenne
on the other hand contended that six
hours would be required.
Sanger says that as the stone ap-
preached the center of the earth II
would be drawn downward by the core
of the earth and upward by the shell
which 1t had already penetrated. The
rate at which the density of the earth
varies or Increases as we penetrate to
greater depths is unknown. Sauger's
formula is based upon considerations
OF the moment of inertia of the earth,
as calculated from the procession of
the equinoxes, which agree with OBJ
servations on the density of the earth
conducted In mine shafts.
If shaft were driven right through
the earth the stone would appear at the
Antipodes after SO minutes 80 seconds
and then return to its starting point
at which 1t would make its reappear-
ance at the end of hour II minutes.

Folk who commenced to think that
the bicycle was passing along the way
that the horse has given up to the au-
tomobile as pleasure vehicle have an
other guess. The war has given added
impulse to wheel manufacture, accord
ing to wheel salesman quoted In the
Boston Post, and outside of the thou

the water many more wheels are being
made for the American public, a larger
number than in former years.

'The last great war has been fought
and the nations may now look forward
to uninterrupted peace"
This was the hope and belief pro
claimed from many pulpits in England
when Great Britain, by royal procla-
nation, celebrated n general thanks
giving day following the end of the Ma
poleonic wars. After the smoke of
Waterloo rolled back 1t revealed a con-
tinent given over to desolatlon.
Although England had suffered less
than the other nations involved in the
long struggle, she had by no means es-
capped unhurt. For twenty years Great
Britain had supplied the financial
sinews of war for her allies in addi-
ton to active participation in battles
on land and sea.

When an army horse is wounded
about the face or jaw 1T is not sent
down to the veterinary lines, but is
kept to be tended by it's driver.
Then 1t is that a good drivers care
comes In, for the men tend them most
carefully, feeding them by hand, boil
Ing their oats, making them mashes,
and spending most Of the day with
their charges until they can feed in
comfort again. II Is this personal
care of the man for his horse that has
been the cause of the new order that
all horses have to be returned from
hospital to their own units again; for a
mans care Is by no means transferred
to the same extent to q new team of
horses.

Germantown, Pa, In 1890 1t was
known as the Rittenhouse mill, and.
of course, the paper was made by hand
1.-The first machine for the purpose
being invented in 1899 by a French
nan, Louis Robert.
The invention Of paper is attributed
to a Chinaman named T'sai Lam. who
is said to have made it from bark,
hemp, rags and old fish-nets II the
year 105 A. D. Six centuries later the
Arabs captured the Chinese city of

On an around-zero day, Rosario was
walking home from work with a
friend. They met a newsboy, and Ro-
sario's friend asked Rosario to lend
him cent to buy paper with. So
Rosario took off his gloves, unbuttoned
his overcoat, sweater and coat, and
shlveringly extracted a cent from his
waistcoat pocket. The paper was
bought. Then a block or so farther
on they entered store to make pur-
chase.
And in the store Rosario friend re-
turned the cent he had borrowed. He
explained that 1t was too cold to take
his glove off and get it when they were
on the STRAIGHTFORWARD Plain Dealer.

many officers whose alma mater Is
Yale college, and some of them regard
Wrexham, in North Wales, as a place
of almost personal interest. For 1t is
there that Thomas Yale, who inaugu-
rated the great seat of American learn

to recall that In the early nineties a
