With every antiseptic known to

doctors chose iodine as the safest
and most efficient for treating
wounded fighters. Yet iodine in
liquid form is limited in its pene-
trating qualities, leaves an unsightly
stain. and blisters. To overcome
these objections an iodine ointment
known as Q-O) was invented.
In Q-O) iodine has been COM
bined with Pain-relieving properties.
Sufferers from rheumatism, neu-
ralgia. swollen glands, can now
enjoy the benefit of iodine. Q-O)
is rubbed into the affected parts.
1t disappears and gets right to the

N-O) is not limited in its use. ALL
ments for which ordinary iodine would
not be used because of its dishguring

by this wonderful preparation. Skin

ENGLISH OAK MOST DURABLE
Specimens of 1t Have Been Known to
Survive in Good Preservation for
Centuries.

The durability Of English oak is the
greatest of any known forest timber.
discoveries having been made that it
is preserved almost as well under
water through centuries as it is when
shielded by roofs in ancient castles.
Professor Burnett of London pos
sessed a piece of English oak from
King Johns palace at Ethan, per-
fect,y sound and strong, which can bn
traced back for more than five hun
dred years. The oaken shrine OF Ed
ward the Confessor is more than eight
hundred years old. One of the oaken
coronation chairs in Westminster alb
hey has been there for more than five
centuries.
In Gloucester cathedral there are
work executed in oak in the reign of
Edward III, and beautifully perfect.
When the foundations o. the old Savoy
palace in London, built 100 years
previously, were torn down, the piles,
many of which were of oak, were
found in a state of perfect soundness.
A vessel, found in the river Rother. in
Kent, said to date back to the time of
King Alfred, was found to be sound
despite the fact that its oaken keel
had been buried in the mud. IN oak
boat was found near Brigg in an al
most perfect condition. despite the
fact 1t was nearly two hundred years
old.-Detroit News.

70 REVIVE SHOCK SUFFERERS
Must Be Kept Up Despite SEEM
ing Discouragement.

DR.. S. Jellinek. Analysing the efTecN
of severe electric shocks received by
contact with the electrified wire fences
during the World war, wrote in Elek-
trotechnik und Maschinenbau that an
important factor was the state Of pre-
earedness Of the victim.
Experience, says the Scientific Amer
san, has shown that shock
which was likely to prove fatal II
received unexpectedly, was harmless
when anticipated. Experiments on
animals have confirmed this impress
sion and have been instrumental in
showing that physiological effects OF
shocks administered with direct and
Indirect current are distinctly differ
ent.
It Is also remarked that close re
semblance to death after shock should
not be accepted too readily as proof.
Persons apparently dead have not in
frequently recovered when artificial
respiration was applied. 1t is best
to give the victim the benefit Of the
doubt.

AMERICAN OF CLEAR VISION
John Willis Grlffiths Revolutionized the
Science of Merchant ShipbuiIdina
and Naval Architecture,

John Willis Grffiths was the man
who revoiutionized the science of mer-
chant shipbuilding and naval archi-
lecture. In 1871 he appeared before
the American institute in New York
and proposed a model for q new ship
He succeeded in interesting William
Aspinwall one of New Yorks China
trade princes, who in 1912 signed q
contract to build ship of $50 tons
according to Griffiths' designing.
The ship was completed in January,
1915, and named the Rainbow The
Rainbow sailed for China in Febru-
airy, and was back home again in Sep
TENDER to reward her owners with 200
per cent over what she had cost.
John Willis Griffiths was born in
New York in 1909, and died there
in 1882. He was the inventor of the
trap style of hull construction; the
builder of the United States steamship

going vessel, and was the inventor
of the process of bending ship tim

PAPER FROM VENEER WASTE
Possibilities in Material That Has
Hitherto Been Considered to BE
Without Value.

In the wood waste from veneer fac
tories the United States forest prod
ucts laboratory sees considerable raw
material suitable for the manufacture
Of high grades of paper. The cores of
many kinds of veneer logs, now used
in large part for fuel, would make
excellent pulpwood. In addition, a
large part of the clippings could be
turned into pulp stock with profit.
Among the veneer woods whose
waste has paper-making possibilities
are red gum, yellow poplar, cotton
wood. birch, tupelo, Eastwood and
beech. Many veneer factories cutting
these species are already within ship
ping distance Of pulp mills. In certain
other cases veneer factories are so
grouped that they might furnish pulp
wood enough to warrant the erection
of centrally located mill. Other
economic factors being favorable, such
4 mill could probably operate on a
daily supply of veneer waste equiva-
lent to so cords Of ordinary pulp
wood.-Scientific American.

Where On Poets connose?

But do poets ever write in gardens?
Swift, who was by way of being
poet, built himself a garden seat at
Moor park when he served Sir VIII
liam Temple, but don't know that he
wrote poetry there. Rather, it was
place for reading. Pope, in his pres
porous days. wrote at Twickenham,
with the sound of his artificial water
fall in his ears, and he walked to take
the air in his grotto along the Thames.
But do poets really wander beneath
the moon to think their verses? Do
they compose "on summer eve by
haunted stream? l doubt whether
Gray conceived his "Elegy" in an actu-
al graveyard. I smell oil. One need
not see the thing described upon the
very moment. Shelley wrote of noun
tains, the awful range of Caucasus, but
his eye at the time looked on sunny
Italy. Ibsen wrote Of the north when
living in the south. When Bunyan
wrote Of the delectable mountains he
was snug inside a jail.-Charles s.

Merely q Good Story

Wars produce many stories of fc-
ton, some Of which the oftener they
are told the more they are believed to
be true. The Civil war was no ex-
ception to this rule, and the story of
the apple tree Is one Of these fctfons
based on a slight foundation of fact.
There was, indeed, an apple orchard
on one side Of the hill occupied by the
Confederate forces. Running diagonal
ly up the hill was wagon road, which,
at one point, ran very near one of the
trees, so that the wheels Of the We
hicles had on that side cut off the
roots of the tree, leaving a little en-
bankment. General Babcock, of my
staff, reported to me that when he first
met General Lee he was sitting on this
embankment, with his feet in the road
below, and his back resting against
the tree. The story had no other foun-
dalton than that. Like many other
good stories, it would be very good II
it was only true.-Memoirs Of
Ulysses S. Grant.
