I TlcklIsh BIT OF .runnelln0,

A very Interesting bit OF tunnehn3
was recently done on the Fourteenth
street tube under the East river, New
York. The heading was being run In
rock and at one point test holes
showed thickness Of only eight
inches Of sound dry rock above the
line along which the top Of the tunnel
was to run. AS the tunnel was being
driven without the use Of compressed
air 1t was decided to drop the upper
heading four feet until this thin cover
of rock was passed. The cast iron
lining was set in place at each Side
OF this section and then the rock was
removed very carefully by using
great many holes each loaded with
about one-eighth Of stick OF dyna.
mite. AS each bit Of rock was removed
the arch Of the tunnel lining was set
In place. BY this means the dangerous
section was tunneled without breaking
through the thin shell.-scientinc

When conditions render It feasible
small flocks of poultry should be kept
by families In villages, towns and es-

The need for this extension Of poultry
raising is particularly great where con.

refuse as poultry feed much whole.

MAN DIES FROM BITE OF CAT
Aged Pennsylvania Farmer Takes Pas

phobia Comes.

4 DISQUALIFICATION he had re-
ceived the Pasteur treatment in Mercy
hospital here, Levi Kurtz aged sew
enty-one, farmer of EnOn Valley,
died of hydrophobia In Providence
Hospital, Beaver Falls, from the bite
of cat which chung to him so tena-
ciously that 1t had to be hacked to
death to release the farmers hand.
Hearing commotion in his chicken
coop several weeks ago, Kurtz investi-
gated and found cat chasing the
chickens. AS he tried to seize the ami
nal it turned on him and sank its teeth
deep in the flesh of his left hand. The
farmer struck the cat with his free
hand, but was unable to dis1odge it.
Neighbors responded to call for help,
but they failed to force the animals
jaws apart until one man severed its
head with an axe.
KGrtz, fearing hydrophobia, came
here and remained two weeks, taking
the Pasteur treatment. He was dis
charged, supposedly immune, at the
end of that time.

ance. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray and looks streaked,
just a few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances it's appearance
a hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store bottle Of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands Of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepare
ton, because it darkens the hair beau
TRULY, besides, no one can possibly
tell, as it darkens so naturally and
evenly You moisten sponge or soft
brush with it, drawing this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
a time By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, its natural color is restored
and it becomes thick, glossy and lus-
trous, and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite.

cation or prevention Of disease.

DEMAND FOR HORSES
GROWING STRONGER
GERMANS USE MILK COWS FOR
DRAFT ANIMALS-EUROPE
SHORT OF HORSES

II have not seen a horse drawn
vehicle since coming to Germany
writes DR.. Gray, of Spokane, in
describing conditions in that country
Everything is drawn by cows-not
oxen, but milk COWS, which are used
to do the farm work and to draw We
hicles of all kinds. The country is en-
tirely out of horses"
Common Russian ponies are sell
ing for from $500 to $500 and there
are very few to be had at any price.
Thousands of them have been eaten
and there are few left in the country
wrote a Russian woman to her sister
who lives across the state line in
Whitman county, Washington.
Every report coming from Europe
shows there is a shortage of horses
in every country. England, France
and Belgium are importing horses
from the United States and Canada,
although the ocean freight is $3.50 per
head, but those countries simply have
to have horses, no matter what they
cost, for the farms are small and
tractors cannot be extensively used.
That there will be a demand at
fancy prices for heavy draft horses
in the United States within the next
two years and that the demand will
increase and prices advance for at
least five years, is the opinion of men
we'll posted on conditions and the
shortage of horses. Germany, Rus
STA, Austria, France, Italy and other
European countries ate millions of
horses since the war began.
The threatened strike and tying
up of the railroads brings the horse
prominently to the front again. If
the railroads should cease to run
trains automobiles, tractors and
trucks would be useless for the supply
of gasoline would soon be exhausted,
but "Old Dobbin" as the horse has
been called for ages, does not use
gasoline. If there is no hay or other
horse feed in his immediate neighbor-
hood he can go to where it is. He can
naul load of feed to his home and |
work while consuming it. But the |
gas car cannot go to the oil fields |
% get a supply Of gasoline, for if the
,ar's home is any distance from the |
Ill field it could not haul more than !
enough to reach home.
While there seems to be no demand i
whatever for horses locally, those
Who are acquainted with conditions T
'redict that next year and for several I
ears following, the demand will be
arge and constantly increase and
he United States will be drained of
Orses.

London.-Eighty United States navy
mine sweepers are busy in the North

from the viewpoint of shipping, quite
as important, as hunting submarines.
They are clearing away the largest
mine barrage In the world. This bar
rage, nearly 80 per cent American

about 200 miles long and As miles

Scotland to Norway.
The task has already resulted in
q casualty toll of four vessels dam

wounded. The q. s. S. Bobolink, the
first victim, had her stern blown in
by an exploding mine. Lieutenant
Bruce was killed. Several other off,
GERS and men, knocked overheard, were
rescued. The q. s. S. Patuxent was
badly damaged about the stern and the
o. s. s. Rail slightly damaged. All
were Of about 1000 tons. The fourth
was smaller boat.
Captain Sexton, United States ma
val chief OF staff in England, said the
Americans are getting "hep" to the
undertaking and overcoming many of
its difficulties.
Thus far the feet has covered an
area containing 1000 mines. OF these
45 per cent have been accounted for.
