P|CR|C ACID OFFERED
FREE FOR FARM USES
Excess of Explosive Now May
be Had of U. S. for Agri-
cultural Purposes.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The atten-
tons Of farmers IN all sections OF the
country to the free distribution OF excess
war explosives for farm work, Is called
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture. Since last fall the Depart
ment, In cooperation with the various
state agricultural colleges, has distri-
buted 1000, eco pounds OF picric acid,
a surplus explosive, which IS very
efficient, easy and safe 70 handle.
Picric acid is a high explosive which
was used in large quantities during
the war and is now being distributed 70
farmers for agricultural purposes, says
the Department. No charge is made by
the government for the explosive itself,
but as it has 10 be dried out and cart
ridged before it can be used for peaceful
uses the cost OF this work must be paid
by the farmers.
Plcric acid IS a comparatively safe
explosive and is used in the same way that
other agricultural explosives are used.
1t has several advantages over CONNER
cial explosives in that it keeps indefinitely
without deteriorating, it is not affected
by heat OF cold, and it does not cause
headaches or other III effects when used
in the open air. Because of its greater
cost OF manufacturing, it viii never
be q competitor of commercial dynamites.
1t is being distributed for the purpose
OF increasing interest and activity IN land
clearing The details OF the method OF
distribution may be secured from the
various State agricultural Colleges.

SPRAINS MAY BE SERIOUS.
They Should Have Careful Atten-
ton, Says Authority.

Sprains and strains as class are
injuries which cause little concern and
consequently, to which little attention
Is paid. The result Is, according TO
the medical corresI ondent OF the London
Times, that q great deal OF disability
is caused which need not have occurred
at all. He tells how 10 avoid much
of this and gives explanations which
rob sprains of some OF their mystery.
Sprains are not by any means so
trivial as they are usually supposed
to be. Some of them are not "spralns
at all, but slight dislocations, and II Is
by knowledge OF this fact that So
called bloodless surgeons acquire Their
regulations. A return OF the members
to their correct position often ends the
pain and discomfort of these accidents.
Again, some sprains are fractures.
The bones may not have been sep
arated, and so the fact that Al break
has occurred is overlooked. Not until
permanent damage has been done 10
professional help called in.
Finally, there are cases IN winch
tibres of ligaments--i. e., the binding
material forming the hinges OF q JOINT
or the means Of hxation OF muscle
tendon to bone--have been torn
asunder. These cases may prove eS-
ceedingly troublesome, and # not
attended to may result in permanent
weakness.
1t is good and safe rule 10 call in
doctor, says the writer, when any
severe or even moderately severe sprain
has been encountered BY this means
the calamities attending neglect OF
serious injury are avoided-New York
