WOMEN BACKING THE
SOLDIER BOYS

When the history of the war has
been written, the work done by the
women at home will impress itself
upon this nation as few even now
realize. Literally, millions of women
left their homes and took up war ac-
tivities in which women had never
before been called. and many more
at home devoted long hours at work
in knitting and preparing surgical
dressings for the boys over there"
Some may have worked at the eX-
pense of health and are now suffering
from headaches, backaChe, dragging
down pains or some arrangement. 1t
should be remembered that Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for
more than forty years has been re-
storing such women to health and
strength, and is now recognized as a
standard remedy.-Adv.

MUST PAY WATER BILLS
Stanfield Also Will Stop Free Flow
Thru Big Meters.

Bills dating back several years and
against large business concerns; these.
and multltudes of smaller bills on the
books Of the city water plant have
caused Commissioner Wilbur Stanfield
to declare his intention of taking i'm
mediate action against the delinQuents.
According to Stanfield the depart
ment needs all the money it can get in
order to put the department on an eff
ficient basis. The money will be need
ed not only to pay up the bills for
equipment contracted for under the
old commission but also to carry out
improvements Stanfield has in mind.
The department has already begun to
cut off small consumers for non-pay-
ment of bills.
Every three inch water meter in the
city is to be taken out. Smaller me-
tiers will be substituted because the
larger meters fail to register when the
load is extremely light. For this rea-
son many large consumers of water
get off without payment for water
consumed during the night or at other
times when the amount is small. One
inch meters will be installed. Stan
field asserts that the lack of funds is
partly due to the city being unable to
collect what is really coming to it on
account of the non-registration on the
part of the meters. He says that the
amount lost, if it could be ascertained,
would prove great surprise to tax
payers.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Make the Most of Windows.
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE


Did you ever pass by a. house in the
early morning in summer and look up
to see half-open windows with low
drawn dark shades? And If you ever
did see this state of things, did it not
strike you with veritable pity for the
poor sitting inhabitants of the rooms
those windows belonged to?
OF course, it is impossible for some
persons to sleep in a light room and
some persons cannot stand a draft,
even in summer. But pray what is
summer for, if it is not a season when
we are to enjoy the fresh-a to the ut
most. to fortify ourselves against the
many indoor hours that must come
with winter?
Training has much to do with our
manner of sleeping Our eyes can
even become accustomed to a moder-
ately light room and our bodies to a
gale of air. if we train them to it.
But we can exclude too much air,
too much light, without making our
rooms stuffy. Dark shades pulled
over the closed part of the window
will keep the light soft enough for
sensitive eyes. A screen, with bamboo
frame and dark green silkoline cover
ing, will further soften the light if it
is pulled about the bed and it will
also keep unwelcome draughts away
from the sensitive sleeper
vantage to keep out light without
keeping cut much air. Even an avn
ing, of course, does keep out some
air.
If 1t is possible. where there are
delicate children, especially, it is a
good plan to have the windows on the
protected side of & bedroom removed,
and thus make g real outdoor sleep
ing room. Canvas curtains can be
hung over the windows if storms come
up.
Window boxes are an addition to city
windows, for they add a summer-like
atm osphere to the rooms within. They
are a trouble to keep in good condi-
ton, of course, but they repay all the
trouble. 1t is good plan to have
them put SO than the tops come just
even with the window ledge. so that
they will not obstruct the view or cur
rent of air. There may be some regu-
! lation against this in apartment
houses, but if the house is your own,
there could be no objection to it. Have
stout iron supports made that will hold
the boxes securely in place.

new AIRSHIP GAS COMES FROM THE
EARTH IN NORTH TEXAS OIL FIELD

and navey department Of the value Of
helium for balloons. The Kansas
discoveries were recalled. A method
of extracting the gas was devised and
the experimental plant reduced the
cost Of producing helium from $1,000
to 10 cents per cubs foot.
The methods employer, as explained
by DR.. Rogers, is to cool the gas to
1923 degrees Fahrenheit, at which all
other constituents Of natual gas be-
come duouified, while helium remains
gas. The natural gas is put under
very high pressure and then refrigera-
ted and when it is allowed to expand
it became so cold that all it's consti-
tuents become liduified.
Dexter Field Extinct.
The Dexter field is now extinct and
others are diminishing. But DR.. Rog-
ers believes that enough helium can
be produced to keep lighter than air
machines in the clouds for many
veads. The gas at Petrolia comes
from depth of 1000 feet, the lowest
ever found. At Dexter the depth was
but 500 feet and at Augusta and FL
Dorado it is found at from 600 to
200 feet.
The gas not only makes balloons
and dirigibles immune to incendiary
bullets but frees them from the dan
ger Of sparks from their motors ig-
hitting the gas with which they are
filled. danger to which the are con-
stantly exposed when filled with hy-
drogen. With the envelopes filled
with helium it is possible to place the
motor carriage, containing the mo-
tors. much nearer the bag.
Men who appreciate the enormous
part that aerial navigation in destined
to play in the future, are aware of
the Importance of the operations that
will be carried on at the big new plant
in Fort Worth. It's ranger has been
one of the serious drawbacks to aer-
ial NAVIGATION. The danger. in so far
as dirigibles are concerned, will be
largely reduced by the use of helium.
