I. Y. A. DEVELOPS
!. NEW fertilizer
Calcium Met a phosphate
Contains Over 60 Per Cent
s Available Plant Food.
ny the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Dec. 10.-The
Tennessee Valley Authority announced
today development of new concen-
trated fertilizer. chemically known as
calcium metaphosphate, which con-
tains 60 to IS per cent available plant
food in comparison with 16 to 20 per
cent in the commonly used super
phosphate.
DR.. H. A. Morgan, vice chairman
OF T. " A. and for many years an
agricultural leader in the South, said
the new fertilizers value lies in its
concentration, ability to stand ship
ment in open cars at low bulk rates
and its manufacture through a process
that promises economical production.
More than 500 tons of the material,
which T. V. A. workers call meta
phoS," have been produced at Muscle
Shoals. Supplies have been sent to
State agricultural experiment stations,
where characteristics Of the material
as fertilizer are being determined
Metaphos was laboratory chemical
until t. V. A. began to investigate it
as carrier of phosphate to the soil.
Small quantities were made in the
laboratory for tests by State expert
ment stations. AS tests demonstrated
value of the material, a pilot plant
was built and finally the present full
sized producing unit.
In manufacturing metaphos raw
materials of rock phosphate, silica and
coke are placed in an electric furnace,
creating hot phosphorus carrying
gases, which are burned and passed
over Jumps of rock phosphate. A
chemical reaction between the two
results and molten metaphos runs off
1t cools into amber-colored cakes and
when ground becomes the concen-
trated plant food.
The high degree of concentration
of plant food in metaphos," DR.. Nor
gan said, means that a farmer has
to use only ton of it to put on his
soil almost as much phosphate plant
nutrient as he would get in tons of
superphosphate. 1t is apparent that
great savings are possible in such costs
es handling, bagging and transporta-
ton
Thus farmers will be able to use
more phosphate on soil conserving
crops. And this they must do if ero-
sion is to be checked by sod crops and
agriculture made lasting in America"

II would like my aunt to have full

HE WHO HAS WIFE NEEDS NO
 Whatever the cause may be, some people have . rather lax or loose evacuation habit on an ordinary mixed diet. The colon or large bowel is irritable. They must keep the in- digestible residue, the "roughage" or bulk" in their diet low and fol- low what is known as a "sofp or Smooth" diet in order to be corn- fortable and avoid intestinal dis- turbances or manifestations of "colitis."
 This concept of "coiitis" Is prob- ably a hundred times as prevalent among wisacres as actual infiamma- ton of the colon is among the gen- eral population. The obsession is in- cuiated in the physiology ignorant by charlatans who have Tlostrui1aS, freak diets and peculiar treatments to sell.
 Among the Vagaries the physiol- ogy Ignorant learn from their in- structors the charatans is the no- ton that certain foods are bad for one because they are "mucus-form- ing" This absurd notion belongs in the category with the quaint pro- hibition against eating fried foods, staTches, greasy things or fats, ni- trogenouS material of animal origin or dark meat, cane sugar, or, well, anything one would naturally eat. There B just as much foundation for these queer fancieS as here was for denying Q feverish child or adult the comfort and air of all the cold water he might want. People are credulous and seem to cling to these ancient fallacies long after in- teiiigent doctors have discarded them.
 From reading almanacs old timers learned that the liver is perversely torpid, lazy and, like the kidneys, has to be constantly urged to do 1t work. From reading quack Itera- ture today people get inoculated with such polecat terms as "auto- intoxication," Intestinal stasis, 1" absorption of toxic wastes" and are easily persuaded to follow some freak diet, or to take internal baths" or to use "intestional lubri- cantS" habitually to correct these imaginary evils.
 The immediate effect of a dose of caster oil is one of several loose, fluid, unnatural evacuation. The after-enect, more prolonged, is bind- ing-and/ that is why physicians prescribe castor old for acute diar- rhea.

The ideal figure-winter 1887 style lis straight and regal-looklng with Q diminutive waistline, slim hips, flat stomach and Q high, firm bust line. However, the fact that you are very thin doesn't mean that your figure is perfect. The right curves in the right places, are as import ant as lack of surplus weight.
 The slender woman who has a flat chest, hollow back or scrawny shoulders just hasn't the right kind of figure for the new body -molding clothes--regardless of how proud she is of her slimness. For her, posture routines and exercises to develop her bust and strengthen the pectoral muscles are almost as necessary as reducing exercises are for her fatter sisters.
 To correct Q flat-chested condi- ton and develop the muscles which support the breasts, one important Fifth Avenue salon recommends this exercise:
 Stand erect with feet about ten inches apart, arms stretched for- ward with left wrist with right hand, then pull wrist forward SO arms are straight. This arches ;he chest inward, stretching back mus. cles.
 Now straighten shoulders. still holding wrist, force shoulders back as far as possible. Repeat five times.
 Here's another for the flat-chest. ed:
 shrug shoulders up toward your ears, then move them downward and backward-slowly in rotary movement. Arms should be com. pletely relaxed ct sides. Repeat eight times, moving shoulders al- ternately as well as together. By strengthening the pectoral muscles, this exercise has Q tendency to draw tho breasts upward.
 To eliminate diaphragm puffiness and make the waistline slim, here's Q new routine:
 Sit with legs spread wide apart, knees straight. Place hand on shoulders, elbows out ct sides. Now
