GETTING POTASH FROM MARL

The war cut off the potash supply
from Germany and the quantity that

been found to extract the potash and
make It cost much less than has here

Paris. There are few people who
can understand the temperamental
disposition of a mule, much less cope
with It. Corporal Bert L. .It lugs.
Jr., of the Marine corps could do both.
As a consequence he and Sergeant
Claude A. Miller were able to furnish
1 an exhausted battalion of men with
hot coffee and give them strength to
clinch their victory In the Chateau-'
Thierry sector.
It was on a night near the end of
the war that Jennings and Miller
braved the torrent of a Gerimm bar
luge and drove two carts of water
and hot coffee through the clouds of
poison gas anil bursting shells to the
Second bttltallc.nl of the Fifth murines,
who were holding a section of BelleaU
wood ngnlnst a terrific German couu

safely and were about to return for
more when n shell fragment cut the
harness of one of the mules and he
escaped. Jennings started In pursuit

would not let him approach. Then the
freckle-faced farm lad from Wiscon

drew u deep breath, jerked the mask

ENDLESS CHAIN NOT MYSTICAL
Doctor Fighting Influenza Explains
How Curative Serum Went From
Patient to Patient.
The prevalence of Influenza nnd
pneumonia with their high death rate
makes it imperative to resort to heroic
methods of treatment rather than to
follow the accepted ones only. The
lack of serum or other specific remedy'
for influenza, writes Dr. Charles R.
Humbert in the Medical Record, to
gether with the Inability to obtain
intlpneumococcus serum forced me to
use convalescent serum.
The Endless Chain. It Is a well-
known fact that persons convalescing
from pneumonia have anti-bodies In
their blood streams. As soon as the
patients' condition penults, therefore.
they are bled as much nnd as frequent
ly as possible.
Serum Is prepared and treated, anil
la placed In stock. When another pa
tient comes In with pneumonia, treat
ment Is begun. When convalescence

ed. It Is a case of one gives serum to
uwo, two gives serum to three nnd so
on, the procedure becoming endless.

Censor's Office Boy.
It must lie' the censor's office hoy
who Is responsible for some of the va
garies of the blue pencil. Not long ago
some patriotic soul quoted Kipling's
line from the "Recessional," "The cap
tains nnd the kings depart." He had
the surprise of his life when the word
"kings" was struck out. Km worse
Is now reported. Another scribe,
grently daring In the meatless days,
quoted Thomas Hood's joke In an ar
ticle on "Wayside Craves," or some
thing equally solemn :
"So they buried Ken at four cross
roads With a stake In his Inside."
That was too much for the censor's
office hoy. A stake In his Inside, In
deed. The censor's office boy knew If
he knew how to spell that the food
controller would never sanction a
whole "steak" a nice, succulent, juicy
steak, In anybody's Inside. So be de
leted the offending lines. Who shr.ll

Papyrus on Which the Desires of Utah
Were Recorded Has Recently Been
Discovered In a Good State
of Preservation.
Utah, the Egyptian, looked out
from beneath his shaggy eyebrows
across the Nile, where the eternal
Pyramids shimmered in the heat
against the cloudless sky. Gods of
Egypt! How dim were those piles of
stone! In the bright light of the sun
god, Ra, he should have seen those
man-made mountains clearly.
Shades of his ancestors! Ills eyes
were dimming fast! He was getting
old very old, so he suddenly realized.
He looked into the basin of the foun
tain In the courtyard. The image re
flected made him conscious, for the
first time, of his swiftly approaching
end. He sank down upon the foun
tain's rim and mused ipon the short
ness of life, Its varying fortunes and
the prospects af the future life ac
cording to the beliefs of himself and
his fathers.
Ah, well, he was ready to die. He
did not fear after death to take the
journey with the sun god, Ra, in the
Boat of a Million Years to the Fields
of Peace. No, by Amen, the god of
Thebes! Had not Utah led a good
life?
Yes, he had always been just, mer
ciful and kind to his servants and his
household. They had lacked nothing
while he lived, nor had his wife, Shef
tu, the daughter of Sat Sepdu.
But, after he was gone ah, Phara
oh, the great one who gives life to his
people would his memory be suffi
cient to keep her from want or mis
treatment? Would she ever be set out
of the great stone house as the wid
ows of others had been in the past?
A chill, sharper even than the chill
of old age, shook him. It was the chill
of fear for his beloved.
Then a happy thought warmed his
veins again.
The people of his household and his
city ever had listened and obeyed his
spoken and written word during his
life. His words by voice or writing
were considered authority and whole
somely respected. Doubtless, then,
would his written words be followed
when he was in the Fields of Peace.
Strange, neither he nor anyone else
had thought of such a thing before.
So with reeds, fluid and papyrus he
wrote in beautiful picture writing.
That happened more than "1,800
years ago. However, the papyrus has
kept in a good state of preservation
all those centuries and was recently
discovered by excavators. Translated,
It proved to be the will or legacy of
Utah, allowing his wife, "Sheftu,
daughter of Sat Sepdu of Gesab," four
Eastern slaves and "the right to dwell
in my house without allowing her to
be put forth on the ground by any per
son." The "will" is considered by authori
ties to be the first ever drawn.
Buttons and the War.
Buttons are not generally regarded
as one of the great articles of com
merce, yet a report Issued by the fed
eral tariff commission presents some
astonishing figures regarding the mag
nitude of the button Industry and the
capital invested therein.
There are more than 500 button
manufacturing establishments in this
country, representing a capital of ap
proximately $20,000,000 and an annual
payroll of $8,000,000. The annual
value of the products Is more than
$20,000,000. NjejjLj'ork has almost half
the factories, huSthc middle West sup
plies most of ySi fresh-water pearl.
The war firfs put up the price of but
tons, owing to the advance in the cost
of metals used in button manufacture,
nnd the Increased price of celluloid
sheets and all subsidiary raw materi
als, such as dyes, chalk, acids and can
vas. It Is Interesting to learn that the
war has stimulated the business in
this country and has led to the manu
facture of glass buttons, which former
ly were Imported another Instance of
beating Germany at its own game.
The formalities .of return visits
among nations promise years of joy

A little old woman, wearing a wool
en dress, a black silk jacket and a
little round hat, entered a surface car
at a transfer station yesterday, her
arms so filled with a great bundle of
rumpled newspapers that she could
barely keep her balance.
"We've got to conserve," she said
cheerfully to another woman who held
a scat for her, as she tumbled into a
seat, making dive at the same time
for an evening paper that some one
had left lying there. "Is this yours?
No? Well, the government says we've
