Heavy and Vast Amount of Ma
terial Is Requited for
the Trenches.
When It Is remembered that there
are today under arms more than 24,-
000,000 soldiers in the European war,
the immensity of the task of keeping
them supplied with the munitions
with which they wage war will ap-
pear, It has been estimated that it
costs approximately $100 to outfit a
soldier. Of this $25 goes for a gun
and $35 for his 1,000 rounds of car
tridges. The average life of a uniform
under modern service conditions is
very short; that of the ordinary rifle
is six months. In all of the history
of war there never has been such a
rapid exhaustion of all of the materi
als with which it is made, says the Na
tional Geographic Society Bulletin.
A 75-centimeter gun can fire about
400 projectiles a day. Each of these
projectiles costs approximately $6.
Counting this and the depreciation of
the gun, which Is particularly rapid,
the dally outlay for its operation
amounts to $2,700. It is estimated that
the 120 75-centimeter cannon in an
army corps, fired all day, cost, in mu-
nitions and depreciation $320,000. In
addition to this, each army corps has
about forty pieces of heavy artillery.
Explosives and depreciation for a sin
gle day's work for them totals $500,-
000, making the total artillery expense
of an army corps $820,000 a day.
If the outlay in gun metal and pow
der is heavy, it is no more so than the
outlay for materials demanded by the
present necessities of trench warfare.
An officer who has studied this phase
of the present war carefully says that
a trench in a state fit for occu-
pation in winter requires 1,250,000
running feet of 3 by 3 timber, 36,000
running feet of corrugated iron, 6,250,-
000 sandbags weighing 1,000 tons and
24,000 standards and pickets to the
mile. In addition to this, 900 miles
of barbed wire has to be used, weigh
ing 110 tons. When one stops to re
call the hundreds of miles of trenches
which stretch across Europe in dif
ferent directions and how often sec
tions of these trenches have to be re
built, he can gain some idea of the
tremendous amount of material re
quired in their outfitting.
Another picture of the vastness of
the munitioning trade and the im
mensity of the task of keeping the
armies in the field and in fighting con
dition may be had from the statement
that there are now more then 4,000 con
trolled munition plants in Great Brit
ain alone. Of these 19 out of 20 nev
er produced war materials before the
war broke out. They employ nearly
3,000,000 men and nearly 750,000 wom
en. The vastness of the Industry In
England Is not out of proportion to
that in France.
Although Germany
holds 70 per cent of France’s coal and
some 80 per cent of its iron, Frane
has been able, by the opening up oi
new furnaces and by immense impor
tations of ore and pig metal, largely
to overcome this handicap.

Use Grandma’s Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother’s
time. She used It to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound,” you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be de
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis-
ease.

SUFFERING CATS!

THE GOLD MEDAL
No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will coat but
a trifle, but is sufficient to rid one’s
feet of every corn or callous.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous, In-
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callous will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn’t eat out
the corns or callouses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur-
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore-
ness or smarting when applying It or
afterwards. If your druggist don’t
have freezone have him order it for
you.

WAR PLANTS ARE REGULATED
There Has Been Very Little Direct
Management of Business by Great
Britain and France, However.
Contrary to the common understand
ing in the United States there has
been very little direct management of
business by the governments of Great
Britain and France in those countries
since the war began, according to a
repoct on “the relation of the govern
ment to war industry,” made to the
National Civic federation by Prof. Jer
emiah W. Jenks.
There has been, however. Professor
Jenks explains, a “rather strict regula
tion of industries producing or hand
ling war supplies, but virtually no di
rect management of business outside
the regular government arsenals and
certain special factories, few in num
ber, bpilt by or for the British gov
ernment. The power given the Brit
ish government under the defense of
the realm act is outlined in the report
as follows:
"To require any work in any factory
or workshop to be done in accordance
with the directions of the government.
“To regulate or restrict the carry
ing on of work in any factory or work
shop or to remove the plant.
“To take possession of any unoccu
pied premises for war purposes.
"In actual practice, the government
gets its work done:
“By paying liberal prices to estab
lishments for all work done while
guarding against monopolistic or other
extortionate prices.
“By restricting or forbidding the
making of certain classes of goods
not needed for war purposes.
“By prescribing rigidly the order in
which the various classes of work are
to be finished and delivered.
“By regulating through various re
strictions the distribution of the sup
ply of labor and the conditions under
which work shall be done.
“While the government does not di
rectly manage establishments,” Pro
fessor Jenks says, “it does tell what to
do, determine the order of work, con
trol transport of goods and materials
in proper order, forbid workmen who
nre needed for production of muni
tions to enlist and forbid trade except
under license.
"These regulations,” he says, “are
enforced by a committee of subordi
nates acting in a friendly way by
unanimous agreement. Their deci
sions are on disputed questions laid
before them, and are subject to an ap
peal to their superior officers. Their
classifications may be put into effect
by employers or contractors subject
likewise to an appeal. Disputes of all
kinds regarding prices, wages and con
ditions of labor are settled by com
mittees representing all parties.”

Estate of Eccentric Irishwoman.
A very eccentric lady died In County
Meath, says a London correspondent.
After the lady’s death no will could
be found, and it was thought she had
died intestate. The solicitor for the
person believed to be next of kin spent
about 40 days in the house going
through the most extraordinary ac
cumulation of papers, documents and
valuable property that filled the rooms
in the house and even the hall. Not
only every room, but every corridor
was piled high with loose papers,
books and parcels of all sizes and de
scriptions, and the litter on the stairs
was almost knee deep. Various sums
of money were found in very peculiar
and unlikely places; in rubbish on the
floors, in band boxes, and In a purse,
and two bank notes for £1 were actu
ally found glued to the floor. The
lawyers recovered an Immense amount
of property, including £7,000 in bank
notes and securities of every kind.
They also discovered the lady’s will,
under which various charities much
benefited.
Bridge Has Trestle In Center.
A bridge has recently been com
pleted by the Burlington railroad
across the Platte river at Yutan, Neb.,
which has girders at either end, while
the center is trestlework. This unus
ual form of bridge construction is de
scribed in the Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. At Yutan the stream often
overflows, becoming over half a mile
wide, and in winter destructive ice
jams have formed on it With a
view to providing a bridge strong
enough to resist the ice and yet not
excessive in cost, the width of the
Platte was decreased at this point
from 2,000 feet to about 1,380 feet by
building an embankment on one side.
This intensified the two currents that
flowed near the two banks and auto
matically deepened their channels, so
that the ice was more easily carried
off in spring. The two current beds
were spanned by girders placed on
piers, set 75 feet apart, while between
these there was built a trestle 700 feet
long.
In Days of Hard Drinking.
In the days of George IV, when abil
ity to drink han was regarded as a
mark of distinction, every glass on the
table was dedicated to one or other
dignitary. The guest who dared to
omit any part of this elaborate baccha
nalian routine was looked upon and
treated as an unclubable fellow, the
spirit being identical with that of the
"bad man” of Bret Harte's stories who
emptied his pistol Into anyone who re-
fused to drink with him.
