A most interesting innovation, es-

Comparison

Compare Henry Ford who has made
work for hundreds of thousands and
put the highly efficient automobile
within the price range of most every
American, with John L. Lewis, whose
position rests upon his ability to eX-
act tax out of the daily toll of other
men, and then ask under what conceiv-
able theory should the first type of
man be pilloried by a government and
the second type be coddled. Since when
has the parasite become more valu-
able to a community or nation than

prove at least a partial solution to
their problem.
Ed O'Shea of Lincoln has devised
plan to suit the traveller who
has no taste for long motor trip.
He may leave his own car at home,
board a railroad train for the ma
jor part of his journey and yet en-
joy automobile facilities wherever
he finds them useful during the
long and otherwise boresome trip.
With this end in view, the Railroad
Extension Service has been organ
lied. Beginning January 1, 1910,
railroad passengers will be offered
an automobile leasing service. The
O'Shea company will operate from
the Great Lakes to the Pacific
Coast and from Texas to Canada
in nearly 400 cities, chiefly centers
of more than 10000 population.
Railroads that have already been
lined up for the proposed service
include Burlington, Chicago &
Northwestern, Chicago & Eastern
Illinois, Illinois Central, Missouri,
Kansas & Texas; Missouri Pacific,
Union Pacific and Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha. Au-
tomobile corporations are naturally
highly in favor of the plan, since
it calls for approximately $4,000
new low-priced cars.
Under the program being set up,
the traveller will purchase a rail-
road ticket in the usual fashion.
But, at each point along the line
which he resignates, a uniformed
attendant will meet the train and
place car at his disposal.
Tomorrows tourists will, through
the use of good and safe highways,
be enabled to 60 where they want
to go, do what they want to do,
see what they want to see No
beauty spot or historically famous
section will be so remote that they
cannot ride in comfort and con
venience to its door The Ameri-
can highway system again proves
itself diminisher Of distances and
a magic carpet for the ever-in-
creasing army Of American tour
lists who continue to seek greener
pastures.

explosions which they may be un-
able to control. may not be far dis
tant according to Dr. R. ]. Dun
ming of Columbia university.
Recent experiments have revo-
lutionized the thinking of physicist"
who formerly scoffed at talk of un-
locking atomic energy. Dr. Dunning
explains, and perhaps the age of
atomic power is not as far distant
as many physicists have believed. !"
It may be possible in the future
to harness such power by disinte-
grating uranium inside flash boil
err and capturing the heat released
from individual atoms, he points
out. The process would be one Of
placing an almost infnitesimal
amount of uranium in tiny metal
bomb, which would be surrounded
by thick shield of water or paraf-
fin.
The hydrogen atoms in the water
or paraffin would act as brakes to
slow down fast neutrons shot into
them, thus generating slow neu-
irons, which are the only ones ef-
fective in creating atomic disinte-
grations. When the slow neutrons,
moving with energies of from 600.-
900 to 100000 volts, hit the ura-
mum atoms and explode them, the
energy released would heat the wa
ter to 1000 degrees or more instan-
taneously. The remainder of the
problem would be to utilize the
heat generated for driving ma
chinery or electrical dynamos.
AT the present time most slow
neutrons are captured, or absorbed,
by the uranium atoms and result
only in the production of gamma
rays, identical with those emanat-
ing from radium.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Nutritionists insist that every
child needs the equivalent of one
quart of milk a day and that every
adult needs one pint. Milk con-
tains valuable vitamins and pro-
tein but it is the calcium of milk
which is most difficult to replace in
the diet.
Skim milk contains as much cal
cium as whole milk. Skim milk
plus butter or skim milk plus
green vegetables is the nutritional
equal of whole milk.
Large families with little money
often find it impossible to purchase
their full quota of whole milk For
some of these families the purchase
of additional quantities of skim
milk may be the most practical
and most economical way to pro-
vide the amount of calcium which
growing bones so urgently demand
Skim milk may be used to drink,
LII SOohidSb III SOLldSC NhCCSC VI III
any of the ways in which whole
milk is used
Any person going to a dairy for
bulk skim milk should take a clean
covered container. Since all dair-
les do not sell bulk skim milk, it
would be well to call the dairy be-
fore going after it.
In the city of Wilmington sew
eral dairies do sell skim milk This
milk can be purchased at the dairy
offices in ten quart amounts for as
little as one cent a quart and in
smaller amounts at slightly high
er price.
In rural Delaware many farm
ers use their skim milk only for
feeding livestock. Many of these
farmers would be glad to sell this
milk to their neighbors.
It is indeed surprising how many
people realize that skim milk is one
of the best foods possible for grow
ing pigs and chickens, and yet,
how few people realize that skim
milk is one of the best foods pos
sible for growing children.

OXALIC ACID
STOPS BLEEDING
Science Conquers Hemophilia
With Cleaning Fluid,
Ink Remover
STARTLING DISCOVERY

TORONTO.-A startling discov-
cry that the common hat-cleaning
fluid and ink remover, oxalic acid.
stops the royal curse henophilia
and all other kinds of hemorrhage.
has been announced here.
The report was made to the Fed
Grafton of American Scientists for
Experimental Biology by Arthur
Steinberg and William R. Brown of
Kensington hospital. Philadelphia.
AT first the assembled biologists
gasped in surprise and refused to
believe. Oxalic acid is a poison and
is known, in test tubes, to do exact
ly the opposite of helping blood to
clot quickly.
Even when the Philadeiphians
disclosed that more than 500 hui
mans, in more than a dozen large
hospitals, have had their hemor-
rhages stopped. and in some cases
their lives saved, with oxalic acid.
the biologists continued skeptical.
Process Demonstrated.
The fact that tiny amount of
the acid injected into a living body
acted exactly the opposite from its
test tube ways was finally demon
strated before the eyes of a group
of doubters. They went to a Uni
versity of Toronto laboratory,
where acid was taken from the
shelf. injected into a rabbit and re
duced the animals blood clotting
time from two and a half minutes
down to one and a half. Hemo-
philia has been called the curse of
kings and curse of the Haps-
burgs" because it is common in the
Hapsburg royal family and to some
extent in the Spanish and Russian
royal lines.
Tests Successful.
Six American hemophiliacs, the
report stated, had their time of stop
ping hemorrhage cut to less than
that of normal persons by injections
of oxalic acid.
One was child who had
scratched his throat eating rock
candy. His normal time to end
bleeding was 45 minutes. The acid
reduced this time to As seconds.
It was necessary to continue CIV
ing the acid from time to time until
the wounds healed in these hemo-
philiacs.
The report told of the acid stop
ping childbirth hemorrhage where
all other remedies had failed. 1t
stopped hemorrhage of obstructive
jaundice" in IS to 30 minutes, after
vitamin K, the new clotting vitamin,
had failed. 1t was used for several
different types of .'bloodless" opera
tions successfully.
