NO Time TO WASTE ENERGY
Western Poet Offers Good Advice
When He Says, Forget That Bald
Pate for the Present.

Lives there man with soul so dead
that never to himself he's said, when
the hair on his pate, once thick, began
a-lo0king thin and sick I'm put some
dope on that there hair and soon have
foliage to spare" Lives there man
who has not spent his last red solitary
cent for dope the baldhead druggist
said would bring more hair upon his
head. Nay. Man seeks the far soli-
tude and rubs his shining pate with
crude, or rubs II pint of vaseline each
night onto his polished beam, rubs all
the dope he can afford on to the thing
he calls his gOurd then to the druggist
doth cavort. and buyeth mango cure by
the quart; but all his labor is in vain,
he never grows another name. Man
that is born of woman Is Of few hairs
and funny phiz. He thinketh In his
bosom he would look young as he used
to be II he could on his poll grown
bare contrive another crop of hair.
Oh man! O bifurcated gent! don't
chase the hair that long has went.
That biz Is picayunish biz. Use all
the energy that Is, apd all of your
hair money for the winning of this
dreadful war. In this here war game
don't you know you should be In the

Hydraullc CARTRIDGES,

It Is often difficult and sometimes
dangerous to use ordinary explosives
for mining and eycavatipg IN confined
spaces, fact that has led to the de-
velopment OF the hydraulic mining
cartridge,
The cartridge consists OF a steel
cylinder containing numerous small
pistOnS that move at right angles to
the axis of the cylinder and expand
when water is injected into them with
a hand pump, After drilling deep
enough hole the workmen insert the
cylinder and then set to work at the
hand pump
The tiny pistons expand until their
free extremities bear against the mass
of rock with constantly increasing
force and the rock is gradually frac-
tured under tremendous pressure. The
operation, 1t is said. Is not only cheap
er than the ordinary blast but disin-
tegrates larger area Of rock.

HUNS ARE SPRINTERS
Georgia Lieutenant Gives His
Estimate of Enemy.
Man for Man the American Has It All
Over the Boche, He
Says.

Atlanta, Ga.-"Don't worry about
me, mother; I'll be better in few
days than before because of good
rest" wrote Lieut.. l.. V. Stephens to
his mother from lover there" after he
had recovered from q gas attack and
shell shock during the big drive start
ed July 1S. He longs to go back into
action. Describing the Huns fighting
ability Lieutenant Stephens says:
"What treacherOus, cowardly lot
they are" he said. "They'Il blaze
away with their machine guns and do
their best to kill all the Americans
on earth, but when we get to within
hundred or two yards Of them, out
they come with absolutely no weapons
on their persons, their hands high in
the air and calling for all they're
worth: 'Kamerad Kamerad.' With
some few exceptions they absolutely
will not mix it with the Americans.
This Is no eXaggeration at all, but
simple fact. I went over the top with
the infantry with the exception Of the
first all through the drive until was
sent back to the hospital, and therefore
I know what nm talking about. tell
you, man for man, the American has 1t
all over the Boche. AS long as they
are massed they fight. But get them
separated, even a little, and they are
through.
II am inclined to believe that the
Boche have changed their opinion in
regard to the amateur soldiers and Of
ficers of the American army"

Offers new CURE
FOR GAS GANGRENE
Brooklyn Surgeon With Army In
France Uses Discovery With
~..a. Success.

The discovery by well-knOWn
Brooklyn army surgeon of new So
luton which promises to revolution
lie wound treatment ut the battle
front and to eradicate the terr0rs OF
what is known In wartime surgery as
gas gangrene, is reported In special
cable dispatch to the Brooklyn Eagle,
dated from Paris. The dispatch says:
"The discovery Of Il new solution
against gas gangrene was announced
before the American Red Cross Re
search society in Paris by Maj. James
r. Pitcher Of No. 121 Gates avenue,
Brooklyn. To gas gangrene In wound
infections is due the majority Of limb
amputatlons Major Pitchers new
method of proceeding against 1t Is one
of the important medical discoveries
of the war.
''The new solution already has been
used by DR.. Pitcher extensively In
wound cases Of the more serious type,
with surprisingly good results. 1t over
comes many of the difficulties In
herent In other agents Of the same
class.
"The chief attributes Of the new
remedy are simplicity Of preparation,
stability and the ease with which 1t
can be concentrated for transporta-
tion. Its strength is easily varied
without impairing its properties. and
it Is suitable for the initial treatment
of wounds at dressing stations or evac-
uation hospitals.
"QuIno-formol Is the name given to
it by the originator Of the solution, 1t
contains quinine, acetic and hydro
chloric acids, formaln and thymol,
merged into strong salt solution.
"Results thoroughly tested and
checked at the Auteull hospital dur
ing the recent influx Of seriously
wounded troops were revolutloniZing
in the advance indicated over the pres
ent wound treatment procedure, many
cases of gas bacillus infection being
rendered sterile within a few days.
doctor Pitcher, in telling Of the
new treatment, modestly emphasized
that the new solution is not cure
all nor panacea, but is applicable only
where proper surgical methods al
ready have been taken. Application
of the solution Is identical with that
af the Carrel-Dakin treatment which
.ften has been used In conjunction
adth quinofornol."

Clergyman Tells Story Of the
Yankees Reckless Disre. !;
= gard for Danger. !,

A new story Of the American fighting
mans reckless disregard for danger,
which 1t is one of the greatest prob
lens of their officers to curb, was
brought to Paris by Wilbur M. Wilson,
Baptist clergyman from Colorado,
who went all the way from Chateau
Thierry to Fismes with Pennsylvania
regiment in the drive which began In
July.
with my own eyes," said Mr.. Will
son, II have seen American boys steal
out from the trenches to frog pond
in No Mans Land, calmly remove their
uniforms and dive into the cool wa
ters with German snipers not hun
dred yards away in their trenches.
The American boy appears to be alb
solutely unafraid. The greater the
number of casualties in his own unit
the greater Is his resolve to make the
Germans pay the price. His morale
Increases nOticeably every time COM
rade falls with German bullets in his
body.
Mr.. Wilson was in the front lines for
two months, serving in the uniform Of
the Y. NJ. G. a. Many times, he says,
he drove his truck ahead Of the field
kitchens and furnished hot drinks
smokes and sweets to men who had
had nothing to eat for two days except
their iron rations. Francis B. Sayre,
President Wilson's son-in-law, was
with him for two days north Of
Chateau-Thierry. He Is on his way
back to America to aid In the united
war work campaign In November,
when drive for $17O,500,OOO will be
made to carry on the work in which the
"Y," the Y. w. G. A., the Salvation
Army, National Catholic War council,
Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare
board, the American Library assOcia-
tion and the war camp community

GET WRITING CRAZE.
Yankee Fighters Heap Troubles
on the Censor.
When Out Of the Trenches He "Tells
EN- About It" In Reams
and Reams.

Paris-The letter-writing craze has
struck the American army.
Just as soon as he gets out of the
trenches the doughboy washes up,
scurries around for pen and paper and
sits down to tell 'em all about 1t. AND
he tells 'em in reams and reams.
"Well, let's see," he says, as he
meditatively kicks his steel helmet
under his cot "I've got to write to ma
and pa, Kittie and Johnny Boggs over
ut Canton, O. Then, owe Nell John
son a letter. And I've got to scribble
few lines to Uncle Abe and Aunt
Minnie. After that I'll answer those
letters of Bill and Tom."
Writing materials-paper and en-
velopes-are not always plentiful
where the doughboy is stationed, and
for a while 1t was doubtful whether
the last of his correspondence list
would receive their letters, for the
supply In the small town stores was
soon exhausted. But the Y. M. G. A.,
learning of this scarcity, soon ar
ranged to supply all coDtingents. 1t
sent out seven million sheets of writ
ing paper and some 100000 envelopes
q month.
With the tremendous growth Of the
expedltionary force, orders have been
increased and the estimate for next
year Is 12OOOO,OOO sheets of paper and
6O,000,OO0 envelopes.
This means that the Yanks will use
about 72O tons of writing materials
720 tons of news and comfort for the
folks at home.
And when the censor officers stop to
consider it they grow weak, for 1t Is
their duty, along with everything else,
to censor the letters and see to 1t that
the soldier uses discretion and doesn't
mention things of military importance.

WAS NoTHINGfB BUT COLD TEA
Interesting Query Now Is, What Did

An impressive entry In the influence

sly. knowing and suggestive wink

now in position to supply prominent
residents of that legally dry district
with what he with an air Of infinite

be drunk on the premises.
Prominent rakes of Flushing
thronged to the premises at once. a
thriving business soon was built up
and many lip was smacked and many
genial jest was exchanged over the
sO-called cold tea. the consensus OF the
best opinion being that our turner Of
an honest penny must have procured
for his patrons the private stock OF
some old Kentucky cellar. Finally one
day there came along phlegmatic. un-
imaginative fellow who ordered

pOrtant but secretive manner, started
to quaff and laid down the tipple with
som, thing. we are sorry to say, very
like an oath. "Why, that's nothing
but cold ten." he exclaimed with kin
ding anger.
Our turner Of an honest penny frank
ly acknowledged that such In very
sooth was the fact and had been the
fact In very sOoth since the inception
OF his little venture, smllingly remind
ing all present that he never had Of

sold them the beverage under any
other name.

New French SLANG.

The language of the Poilu is as
double Dutch, to the uninitlated. Any
one familiar with the slang of the
Quarter Latin would probably feel
more at home than most. But there
are many other ngredlents-some
patois, some picked up In Morocco, and
some are survivals OF the soldier slang
of the First empire. Such word is
"cleber," which apparently means to
eat after one has been on the point OF
starving. An explanation given of the
origin of the word is that 1t Is cor
ruptlon of "kleba," the Russian for
bread II Is said that the French sol
dIers on the great retreat from Mos

There was an expression Of hope In

Suddenly that expression Of hope
was changed. Sergeant Major Ripple
