mona is not SO available as in high
grade goods. There is large
amount of garbage tankage on the
market and this may not run more
than three or four per cent. In the
case OF fertilizer containing one
per cent ammonia and eight per
cent phosphoric acid it might be
made from garbage tankage con-
tanning only two per cent Of am
monia and acid phosphate contain
ing 16 per cent of phosphoric acid,
or if higher grade Of tankage is
used some sand or other filler is
used to make up weight.
Every consideration points to the
fact that high grade goods are
much cheaper in proportion to
their value than low grade goods.
For example, fertilizer contain
ing l per cent Of ammonia and s
per cent phosphoric acid is quoted
at 500 a ton f. o. b. Baltimore or
Philadelphia-with 5 per cent off
payable December /. If the phOs-
phoric acid is counted at $3.50 per
unit the 8 per cent is worth $12,
and the one per cent ammonia will
cost $40. But fertilizer analyzing
10 is only 1923; 1-10 is $23.75 and
1-12 is $3.50 This makes the
extra 4 per cent phosphoric in the
1-12 cost only $3.5O--less than a
dollar a unit. And, while 1-S is
$22, the 4-S is $37, the three extra
units Of ammonia costing only $15
more, or $5 a unit instead Of $40
a unit for the first unit in the Is
goods. Fertilizer containing 1O
per cent phosphoric and l per cent
potash is quoted at $21.75 or $6.75
for this first unit Of potash, while
1O-5 is quoted 1880 or only $9.75
for the extra 3 per cent potash and
in a 4-1O-6 fertilizer, if the am.
monia is rated at $6 per unit, the
phosphoric acid at $50 the 6 pei
cent potash will cost only $17.25
the price for this grade being
$56.25.
The best way is for the farme,
to buy acid phosphate, nitrate OF
soda, tankage, dried blood, sulphatt
of ammonia and muriate OF
potash and other fertilizer mater
ials and mix them to suit his croE
and his land.

work. He therefore turns from a
dependent member Of society to an
independent, and, more than that,
he is freed from the immediate
supervision Of the physician as to
the detail of his care. The problem
again becomes as much social
problem as a medical problem, and
instruction Of the patient is the
first and most important necessity.
This, Of course, can be done only
by training which, requires con-
siderable patient practice and time
until the dull routine is thoroughly
learned.

Let's Cut OFF Our Pigtails

When the Manchus conquered
China they required the people to
wear pigtails as a mark of servi-
tude. Sor conservative were these
people that they continued to wear
these useless appendages long
after the necessity ceased to exist.
Did it ever occur to you that
we are wearing pigtails forced on
our English ancestors by the Ger
mans several centuries ago? Our
pigtails are the senseless tumble
of units we use in weighing and
measuring. Who knows the proper
size of a quart cup? How many
sizes of quart cups are in common
luse? How many bushels of wheat
could he put in bin six feet nine
inches wide, eight feet three
inches long and seven feet five
inches high? How many acres in
a field 1,065 feet seven inches by
1926 feet three inches? Could you
figure these out without consulting
book?
Germany discarded this sense
less system in 1871. She counted
much on the confusion she knew
would arise when England and
France tried to cooperate in the
recent war. She knew one of them
had real system of weights and
measures and that the other had
mot.
A Detroit factory discarded its
pigtails and adopted the decimal
system of weights and measures
and increased it's output fifty per
cent with the same woring force
A common laborer took the place
of a high-priced expert in the
weighing department, and made
fewer mistakes than the expert
The adoption of the decimal sys'
tenn in a factory saves twenty pc,
cent of the cost of bookkeeping
alone. And that is no small item
of expense.
Our children lose two years il
their arithmetic WORK with oul
present system. These cwo years
ought to be applied to learning
something useful. England ant
the United States are the only
civilized nations that still wea,
weight and measure pigtails. Why
not adopt the decimal system
similar to what we have for ou
money?

When You Can Vote, Do 1t

When Chicago gave it's big "wel-
come home" reception to Illinois
heroic returning soldiers recently
the Chicago Women's Club was the
official hostess" of the occasion.
Governor Frank Lowden's address
of welcome to these returning
citizens developed later into sound
advice to the newly enfranchised
women citizens, with an un-
expectedly frank admission of the
failure of the men to use their
privilege to the highest degree.
Said Governor Lowden; eff the
women of America, instead of re-
garding the franchise simply as a
privilege, wilr regard is as a
sacred duty and go to the polls as
surely and. earnestly when tpri-
mary and election days come as
these men in uniform responded
to their country's call, their use
of the franchise will surpass in
benefit to the state the use which
men have made of the franchise
in the past.
''The word that wish to leave
today is not that it is the greatest
of all privileges-that it is-but
that it is the most solemn of
all duties which rest upon the
citizens.
"What mean is this: in ordinary
elections only a small percentage
of the men have gone to the pri-
maries or have gone to the polls
unless superhuman efforts were
made to drag them out. l want to
confess to you now-I don't kGow

DEPARTMENT
WARNS AGAINST CHEAP
FERTILIZER
Advises Farmers to Buy Ma
terials and Mix to
Suit Land

The State Board of Agriculture
is again sending out the caution to
farmers not to buy cheap grades OF
fertilizers. The fertilizer manu-
facturers have had a conference
with representatives of the U. 5.
Department of Agriculture and
have agreed upon the prices that
they will charge this fall for mixed
goods. From the prices sent out 1t
appears that potash is rated at
about $500 per unit, or about one
half the price that was charged tlr
potash in the spring. Ammoniates
are down to a basis of $500 per
unit instead of $500 charged IN
the spring. Phosphoric acid is
about the same price as before,
about $1.5O per unit, but these
figures apply only to high grade
goods.
Comparing the price OF low
grade goods with high grade goods
It is noticed that fertilizer con
tanning one per cent of ammonia
and eight per cent of phosphorlc,
acid is about twenty-five nor "ent
higher in proportion 70 US va','

GOING TO SCHOOL TO
LEARN HOW TO LIVE
Afflicted are Learning How to
be Independent and to
Prolong Life

This readjustment period has
forced upon nearly everybody the
necessity of going to school again,
of learning to do something that
they did not do before. New duties
have arisen and new ways of ac-
complishing desired ends had to be
devised. Rehabilitation of wound
ed soldiers is a case in point.
Bringing independence and fair
health to those afflicted with "con-
stitutional diseases" is one of the
biggest things undertaken by edu-
cational forces in this generation.
The necessity for education OF
these unfortunates whose activity
and earning capacity were limited,
was recognized long before the war
and much excellent work was ac-
complished in teaching these pat
tents to care for themselvs, to know
enough about their physical con
dition to require less professional
treatment, and to make them econ
omically Independent where before
they were dependent.
AIM TO MAKE PATIENT AN ASSET
As in many other cases the war
gave new impetus to this work
The habit Of "going to school, is
decidedly on the increase as the
treatment Of various disorders be-
comes stabilized and precise. 1t Is
pretty throughly recognized now
that prevention is the only sensible
aim in the treatment Of disease and
in those cases classed as not I'M
mediately durable, the patient Is
so placed and so instructed as tt
care, in large measure for him

than a liability to the community

"The Good Old Days"

Old woman l know was lying
About "the good old days.
"Them was the times people
lived
And was really happy,
With nothing to worry about
And plenty to live on"
She sighed as she was helped out
Of her sons automobile and into
the house
Which was flooded with electric
light
By the push Of button,
And where she sat down COM
fortably
In the breeze of an electric fan
And called plaintively for
Glass of ice water
While the son telephoned to the
mothers sister
In a distant city to come and
cheer
The old lady up
AS she was feeling like she
wanted
To get back to the old swamp,

And plow corn in the heat of the
day
And cook big dinners in a fly
filled house
For a dozen husky farm hands
Getting up at four in the morn
ing ..
Sos she'd be sure to get gooc
start
On the day,
And then be rewarded by a new
calico dress
As her share of the profits
If the crops turned out well
Which they almost never did.

campaign the fact has been brought
home to most communities that
with proper management Of in
dlvldual cases the death rate can be
cut in half and that in fact there
really need be no more tuberculosis
of the lungs. With proper hand
ling OF the situation this disease
will be thing Of the past. In the
meantime, however, because of ig-
norance or carelessness the disease
does spread and those who have it
must be "put to school,"
CONsUMPTIvE SCHOOLS ALREADY
ESTABLISHED
DR.. &. l.. Trudeau himself
consumptive, was one Of the first
to realize the necessity for this de-
parture. He established a school
at Saranac Lake where two vital
lessons were taught-one to physi-
clans who were to learn early
diagnosis Of the dread disease, thus
increasing the chances for re-
covery; the other to patients who
were taught how to limit their ac-
tivities to things which they could
do safely and to live correctly. It's
object was educational not cura-
tive, consequently, the institution
limits the stay of a patient to six
months. The work has been un-
usually successful in both lines of
endeavor and has grown immensely
in the past few years.
ANOTHER KIND OF SCHOOL
The first center for the treat
ment of diabetes and the teaching
Of these sufferers how 20 live has
also been started. Frederick M
Allen has worked out a method for
the treatment Of this disease solely
by dietetic methods. He is continu
ing this work at Rockefeller In
stitute and it is estimated that this
treatment will enable IS per cent
Of the diebetics to live as long as
they desire by proper dietetic con
troll.
How is it possible to get that con
troll? By going to school ant
learning how, just as the consump
tive is going to school and learning
how. The only difference is that il
the case of the diabetic the patien
must have a little more patienc'
in calculating his food require
ments and weighing out precisel,
what he needs. By a few simple
tests the patient can be easil,
taught to care for himself, adjus
his food requirements and live il
comfort and with a fair amount 0
residual energy to do. his dali.

WANTS NAMES OF
DELAWARE SOLDIERS
SAILORS AND NURSES
Reception Committee Desires
Complete List AS Soon
AS Possible

With the exception of fixing the
date which will be done as soon
as it can be definitely learned
when the remaining companies of
Pioneers will arrive, the COM
mittee in charge of the reception
to the soldiers, sailors and enlist
ed nurses Of Delaware who were
in the recent war has completed
arrangements for the reception.
1t is the desire to have every
man in Delaware who was in the
service of the United States as
soldier, sailor or marine, in Will
mington on the occasion of this
reception. Transportation will be
furnished to all these men who are
now in Delaware to Wilmington
and return. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary, however, that the committee
have the names Of those who are
to be Furnished with transporta-
tion at once. Postmasters in all
towns in the state have the neces-
sary cards which should be filled
out and returned to the Reception
Committee, 1859 DUPONT Building,
Wilmington.
The entertainment will consist
of a parade in which all of the
Delaware soldiers, including the
59th Pioneers, are invited to take
part. An elaborate dinner will be
served to those participating, in
the hotels and restaurants of the
city instead Of following the plan
adopted in other places, where an
attempt was made to feed the men
in a field at temporary tables. The
committee in charge of this din
ner has aimed to have the menu
composed of dishes which the
soldiers did not get when they
were in the service.
1t is proposed to give street
dances with bands in attendance
for the men; arrangements will be
made for admitting them to places
of amusement without any charge
to them, and for free trolley rides
for the men. The entertainment
will cost them absolutely nothing
The state will present each man
with a medal showing the ap-
probation of the state for his SER
vices. 1t is the desire of the COM
mittee to have all men who were in
the service whether they were
abroad or in camps, or in other
work in this country makes no diff
ference. The men who enlisted OF
who were induced into the service
were in the army, navy or marine
crops for the purpose of doing
what they were ordered to do
Therefore, every man served his
country to the best of his ability
and as his country desired.
Wilmington will be handsomely
decorated for the occasion anC
both the city and stace committee:
are working to make the affair thu
biggest success in the history o
the state. Everything in Whining
ton on the day of the reception will
be for the soldiers. Ample ar
