improvements Planned for
Oldest Canal in China;
American Will Do the Job

The oldest canal in the world, dating
back nearly $500 years, and also the
longest canal, measuring in the main
section nearly 1000 miles, is that ex-
tending from HanchOw, south of
Shanghai, China, to Picking. Most of
this canal has been filed with mud by
overfiows of the Yellow river, but the
southern portion of it still constitutes
very busy waterway.
The canal is now to be rebuilt and
improved says Scientific Ameri-
can. The project is too vast to be
done at a single operation, and the
funds are not at hand. At present,
about 100000 are available, and this
sum will be used for the improvement
of section about 100 miles in length,
leaving to later date, when funds can
be accumulated, the reconstruction of
other sections. The work is to be I'M
dertaken by American engineers.

deserts and plenty of vultureS. Funda-
sincere love for the horse that fOrbids
adopting any ruthless expedient in
reducing the Egyptian forces to peace
time footing.
General Allenby, the British COM
mander in the Near East, has cabled
that every effort will be made to place
all surplus horses in the hands of ma
tiveS who will treat the animals we'll
and infinitely better than the peoples
of many European nations"
Naturally the horses will be returned
to industry at slower rate than they
were modified.
When Sir j. Cowans came to the
war office shortly after the British de-
clared war On Germany, he had to
obtain 5000 horses in IA days. His
methods were successful The horses
were supplied by the business people
of England and included the best of
LeicesterShire. The Kitchener divi-
Sions, however. demanded the services
of at least 100000 horses.
Then it was that the British horse
buyer made his appearance In force in
the markets of America. AT the same
time buyers were busy in Spain, Ar
gentina, China, Australia, Tunis, AL
giers, and Somaliland.
Confronting the authorities are a
number of grave problems just now.
First of all there is an urgent need of
disposing of all surplus army stock
with the least possible delay. But
there are too many horses. Only sew
enteen per cent of all army stock ac-
tually came from England. Manifestly
it is impossible TO return one hundred
per cent to England and thereby glut
the market and demoraliZe the present
schedule of prices. So even though
the horses are literally eating their
heads off at great cost to the govern
ment the number of sales must be reg
ulated to meet the actual demand.
Also, the horse sales must be held
in all sections of the country, and the
quantities offered must conform to the
needs of each community.
Sell $4,000 a Month.
Following this system as closely as
they can, the army men hope to dis
pose OF some $4,000 horses a month.

Flexible Asbestos Clothes
Saves Workers From Injury

If you are engaged in any hazard
Gus work around fire or extreme
heat, such as in a foundry or steel
mill, there is no excuse for scorch-
ing or burning yourself, says Illus
trated World. There is manufactured
a complete line Of safety-first suits,
including leggings, gloves, mittens,
aprons, coats, trousers and helmets.
The material from which the articles
are made is not brittle, but flexible
enough to make handling of other ma
terials easy. This safety-frst wear
ing apparel is manufactured from as
bestos, treated by secret process
which prevents the nap from rubbing
off. This is said to add to the life
of the fabric and to its appearance
as well. The clothing is used extern
sively by big business concerns en-
gagged in iron, steel, brass, welding,
smelling, glass, chemical and similar
work for the protection of employees,

die horses and driving stock.
In the first lots that have just been
sold the Irish horses were prominent
in breeding and hardness but were
rather excelled in size by the Trans
Atlantic classes graded with them.
Doubtless many of the American
horses will be bought here for hunters.
Army men speak highly of the
American mule. On the battlefield the
mule made good. But among the Brit
ish horse owners there is a grave dis
| trust of this imported luxury.
AS a matter of fact the mule is the
chief problem i'll this side of demobil-
ization. Nobody wants him for peace
work. There are thousands of them in
the army, trained to harness or saddle.
Yet even the most optimistic army per-
son here is wondering how on earth
the government is going to enthuse the
civilian buyer OH the subject.
May Use Same as Food.
While the war office is devOting a lot
of thought to getting rid of surplus
horses, the food controller, acting in
dependently, has possibly suggested a
kind of .remedy-horseflesh has just
been put on the list of food stuffs the
price of which is controlled by gov
eminent order.
Owing to the increased demand for
/ horseflesh for human consumption, it
has been found necessary to control the
prices both to retailers and consum-
ers," the official order reads.
The prices fixed are interesting The
householder buying at retail will have
to pay no more than 81 cents a pound
for the best cuts. The heart, liver
and head meats cuts, known here as
the offal cuts (no joke intended), may
; be sold to retail trade at 16 cents a
pound.
Eating horsefiesh is merely a feat
ure of the meat shortage England and
all of Europe are now experiencing.
Meat and butter are going to be hard
to get here for the next year or so.
That one fact is the only point In
the whole food problem on which the
food ministry officials stand pat.
Meat sellers RAY be able to dispose
of some of the horses, over the counter
in pound lots, but what of the 10000
. friendless mules here awaiting sale?

LAUGHING is A
HEALTH TONIC
Makes More Forceful the Beat
Of the Heart

When the individual laughs the &C
ton is accomplished by deep, for
chile movement of the chest. This
deep movement increases the rapidity
of the roundabout flow of the scarlet
fluid, makes more forceful the beat of
the heart, observes an authority, and
by that means brings back the blood to
the lungs at a greater pace, and there
fore helps to accomplish a quicker
nOurishment of the body and thus
brings mental reaction.
More than mental rest and benefits
to the health of the mechanism, good
laugh brings with it food for the emo
tional fabric. The physiological action
involved in a hearty laugh stimulates
the emotions and acts in the capacity
of an increased electric current in
wire by whose force machines are
moved. The hairlike capillaries, SO
strained and worked during the course
of busy day, become rapidly emptied
as laughter incites the emotional fibers'
action.
AS the immediate result, there comes
relief to the tubes in the form OF
freshened supply of food. The heavily
congested capillaries and the emotion
al fabric are stimulated, and the body
is enabled to generate new energy,
due to the emotional excitement caused
by a laugh, and you feel regenerated
op6 oopahIo of carving on with added
force whatever work you are doing.

AirpIane Proves Success as
Mail and Freight Carrier

The airplane has proved its sue
cess as a carrier of mail; and in
the Southwest, where most of the
army's flying fields were laid out, air
planes are used daily for all around
utility business, says Red Cross Mag
azine. A recent report from Texas
field tells of a pilot flying 125 miles
from a practice field to the wing
headquarters and carrying as prls-
oner a Waterman who had fallen
asleep on duty. Upon his return trip
to the camp, he carried $500 in pay
vouchers, 100 pounds of bread, tour
airplane wheels, landing gear and
struts. In addition he tucked in a
large bundle of papers and magazines
and a pouch full of mail.

Georgia State Champion Pig
Raiser Was 11-Year-0ld Boy;
Youngsters Start Hog Farms

Swine worth half million dollars
were raised by Georgia pig club MEM
bers during 1918. Four years ago
there were no pig clubs in the state,
but under encouragement from the
College of Agriculture and the United
States department of agriculture S,678
boys in Georgia are now enrolled in
these organizations. Their beneficial
effect on the swine industry Of the
state may be judged from summary
recently received by the department
from its pig club agent in Georgia.
Outstanding progress is reported as
follows:
1.-THE increase in final value of hogs
raised by pig club boys in 1918 over
those in 1917 was more than 56 per
cent. Pig club boys won 20 ribbons
and $505 in prizes in the open ring at
two Georgia fairs. The increase in
number of pure-bred hogs raised by
pig club boys in 1918 over 1917 was
more than 500 per cent. The state
champion was the eleven-year-old son
of one-horse farmer who bought his
pig at an auction sale for $3.50. She
is worth $500 today. Six pig club
boys in one county will start hog
farms this year. All of them began
with one small pig"
