Oriqln of "Douohboy."

A phrase, strictly American in its
modern usage, is that Of 'doughboy"
as applied to an American soldier. An
American infantry soldier recently ex-
planned the origin Of the term to the
correspondent in Paris of the London
Times after this fashion: "In the Civ.
il war a great number Of federal troops
were waiting for uniforms, which were
made but lacked buttons. So great
was the hurry that eventually the men
went round the houses In the town and
collected buttons off the womens cloth
ing. These were for the most part
large buttons from overcoats. Natural
ly the infantry looked funny with their
uniforms fastened by great overcoat
buttons Those resembled hard tack
Carge, round, dry biscuits made of
dough- and hence sprang the word
'doughboy,' which has been kept In the
United States army as slang phrase
for an infantry soldier"

Gas Made From Straw.

The production of fuel and lighting
gas from straw is now made possible
by a Canadian invention. This pro-

farm use, offers a practical means for

that now go to waste on the Western
plains.
The gas Is made in a retort equipped
with three cylinders, each of which
mOlds a bale of straw seven feet
long, two feet wide, and six inches
thick.
After filling and closing these cham
