Ashestos.

The property of asbestos which rem ders it of economic importance is that it is formed of elastic and flexible fbers. These are sufficiently tough to be woven into q kind of cloth which resists intense heat without fusing or burning. Such cloth was much used in ancient times. The fact of it's fire resisting properties gave it the name of asbestos-that is, the unconsumable.

 Another feature that farm house keepers will appreciate is the wash room for the men in the entry be- tween the kitchen and the side porch. This entry also provides good cor ner for the refrigerator. It Is not nee essary for the men to go into the Kitchen at meal time. The entry from the side porch gives passageway di- rectly into the dining room. However. the kitchen Is large enough to hold a small dining table if desired.

Volkmar intimated that he would like
to know how to serve them. and Felix
came back with the excellent sug-
gestion, "On the half SHE'LL"
Incidentally, Sergt. Felix has a
record of twentyseven years active
service in the Army and twenty years

MEADE RANKS SECOND

Capt. Ramaker Gives Credit to
Wonderful Corps Of Workers
in His Department.

In the latest monthly report OF the
medical department Of the Army rep
resenting the vocational and recon-
struction schools attached to the sew
eral base hospitals the one under Capt
G. w. Ramaker. at Camp Meade. stood
second, Custer leading.
Meade was credited with 30 points,
the winner getting 81. The number
of patients reached by the school in
Meade was 80 per cent. this figure be-
ing based on voluntary pupils, no COM
pulsory tactics being employed.
"As the plan reached so many and
no force except persuasion was neces-
sary to bring the men into these many
activities" said Capt. Ramaker, II am
obliged to conclude that the members
of the teaching staff did their work
remarkably wen. They not only knew
their jobs, but they were SO diplomatic
in their relations with the sick and
wounded that cooperation was OBJ
tanned without difficulty and little
wasted energy was the result.
II cannot speak too highly OF the
staM and the men who actually enter
e into the work of the aids with so
much enthusiasm"

staff, will inspect in the orthopedic
