20 facilitate the delivery of munitions of

rs certain formalities are complied with.
This assurance was made today by the
Secretary of War TO Representative Caleb
II. layton Of Delaware. The War Depart
ment agreed 10 pay the amount involved
upwards Of thirt v-two thousand dollars
into the Federal Court at Wilmington.
A bill introduced by DIR. Layton, call
ing tor an appropriation to satisfy the
claims, was withdrawn. The War Depart
ment. on advice of counsel, origina ly
decided il had no power TO pay the claims.
DIR. LAYTON was advised that this opinion
had been revised, after a further study
Of the case and the department discovered
legislation was not necessary, and that
the claims could be satisfied out of money
already in the hands of the Secretetary
oi War.
No BAR AGAINST PAYMENT.
''The Secretary OF War, after causing
further study of the law under which
the department is operating, notified me
that as soon as certain necessary formah-
ties are complied with the claimants will
obtain their money! said Representa-
tive Layton II seems the Secretary of

Go meet all the legal formalties, but
there WAS no question about the avail

said, they are willing to wait brief time
longer.
NOW FOX THE BOARD BILL.
Encouraged by his success in obtain
ing an adjustment of the claims for Della
ware farmers, DR.. Layton said he would
vigorously address himself To the task
OF collecting a board bill which Uncle
Sam owes a Delaware citizen. The bill
was contracted for the navy, but nobody
appears to be able az present to fix re-
sponsibility, and until that is done il will
be difficult TO obtain for the long-waiting
citizen Of the Diamond State satisfac-

Electric Treatment for Employees OF

ment of 1.-THE Bunker Hill Enterprise"
by the editor, T. A. Richard. which
deals with the electrical operations

electricity in all departments he also
tells of it's successful use in the treat
ment OF lead poisoning as follows:
IN closing, l like to instance an
other beneficent use Of electricity
even though it be on a small scale,
namely, the Clague electrolytic method
for the treatment of lead poisoning.

The treatment lasts one hour AS
yet no research has been done to as
certain whether there is any actual
withdrawal of lead from the body, but
a marked improvement in the symp-
toms is noticeable after about five
such treatments, this result being
more rapid than when adopting strict
~ medical treatment. Experimental
work elsewhere appears to disprove
the idea that there is an actual depo-
sition of lead on the electrodes in the
bath water. Lead poisoning is likely
to become chronic if repeated the
acute symptoms will disappear in
few days, but complete recovery is a
slow business. This electrolytic treat
ment, like any other cure for lead poi
soning, must be continued for some
time. but it appears to be more rapid
ly effective than any other. 1t is Of
special value as a prophylactic and if
used early it will prevent a severe at
