CASTOR OIL : "OR
AIRCRAFT ENGINES.
HAS WIDE RANGE OF USEFUL-
NESS IN INDUSTRIAL FiELD..
Making of Transparent Soaps, Furni.
ture Polish, Candles, Fertilizers
and. Paper Pulpa ,
A writer in "The Solentilic Amer',
can" dwells on the use of castor oil as
lubricant for the engines of aircraft
of all sorts, showing it to be a most
Important commodity froth a military
`
stall oint. He says:
xtensive experiments carried on
by the Allies proved conclusively that
castor oil was the lubricant par excel-
lence for fast -running motors for
aerial service. Up to a point various
blends of mineral and vegetable oils
did well enough, but none of these was
found capable of answering the su-
preme tests of sustained flight under
a wide range' of temperature and of
varied atmospheric conditions. Na-
ture, somehow, had endowed the cas-
tor oil with characteristics that were
singularly and strikingly united, as if
the wants of mechanical flight had
been curiously anticipated."
Used in Manufacturing.
Alluding to some of the other uses
to which castor oil is adapted, the
writer goes -on to say;
"The other fields of employment are
much more extensive than most of us
realize. For instance, castor, oil
figures to- a large extent in the manu-
facture of substitute or artificial leath-
er, which takes the place of natural
leather in the upholstering.
"Castor oil is an essential compo-
nent in' some artificial rubbers, and
there are various kinds of celluloid
which depend upon this product of the
castor bean.
"Castor oil furnishes a very setts -
factory coloring for butter; and from
castor oil is produced the so-called
'Turkey -red oil', which is an impor-
tant factor in the dyeing of textiles
and in the treatment of the fabrics.
One of its largest uses is in the mak-
ing of transparent soaps.
"Castor oil yields sebacic acid,
, which is superior to stearic acid in
the manufacture of candles, and from
lierlso is obtained caprylic acid, which
ds itself to the composition of var-
nishes peculiarly suited to the polish-
ing of high-class furniture, carriage
bodies and paintings, and is exten-
sively employed in the preparation of
vellum, tracing cloth, etc. Caprylic
acid plays a part in the production of
ethers which are used by -perfumers
and confectioners.:g Castor oil is used
....rte'' in the making of certain waterproof
preparations, and a liquid disinfectant
is obtained from the 'seconds' or lower
grade oil. The oil is an admirable
preservative for various kinds of
leathers, is extensively used -in the,
leather industry and is particularly
serviceable in adding 'to the service
life of leather belting employed in
heavy work. Our flypapers would not
be so effective if it were not for cas-
tor oil, and the oil enters into the get-
up of a great many adhesive agents.
Extensively Employed in India.
"In the sugar mills of the West In-
dies, upon the railroads of India and
other parts of the Far East and in
British shipping circles castor oil has
long been used as a mechanical lubri-
cant; afloat, however, it is generally
blended. In India the oil has been
found to be an economical and su-
berior illuminant—giving a markedly
rilliant flame. Indeed, the peoples
of India have found ways to utilize
the oil and the refuse pomace which.
may suggest other services here in
the future. The pomace contains
from 6 to 7 per cent. of nitrogen and
a measurable amount of potash, and it
is authoritatively said that the castor -
seed cake possesses 2.81 per cent" of
phosphates. It is therefore easy to
understand why the stuff makes an ex-
cellent fertilizer.
"In India, too, gas is obtained from
a low grade of castor oil and is widely
Used. for Iighting. Finally, it has been
found practicable to produce this gas
from the seedcake after the oil has
been extracted for other purposes.
Notwithstanding the pretty general
''elief that the castor bean plant will
not be touched by cattle, it is stated
as a fact by competent authorities
' that the leaves, not the stalks, are
widely fed to cows in India, and added
yield of milk is attributed to this for-
age. In Assam the foliage of the cas-
k for bean is cultivated largely for the
purpose of feeding silkworms, and an
excellent paper pulp can be made
from the plant."
The Way He gado Sales. ,
I knew a man who had more sheep
and lambs than he knew what to do
with, and sales were slow. One day
he went to town, had a four-page
folder printed, got a few envelopes
and sent a folder to everybody he
knew that he thought would be inter-
ested in worth -while sheep or lambs.
He did not try to see what big
storks he could tell about his sheep

FREQUENT 11EIPACIIES
A Sure Sign That the Blood is
'Watery and Impure,
People with thin blood are much
more subject to headaches than full-
blooded persons, and the form of anae-
mia that afflicts growing girls is al-
most always accompanied by head-
aches, together with disturbance of
the digestive organs.
Whenever you have constant or re-
curring headaches and pallor of the
face, they show that the blood is thin
and your efforts should be directed to=
ward building up your .blood. A fair
treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will do this effectively, and the
rich, red blood made by these pills
will remove the headache.
More disturbances to the health are
caused by their blood than most 'poo-
pie have any idea of, When your blood
is impoverished; the nerves suffer
from lack of nourishment, and you
may be troubled with insomnia, neur-
itis, neuralgia or sciatica. Muscles
subject to strain are under -nourished
and you may have muscular rheu-
matism or lumbago. If your blood is
thin and you begin toshow symptoms
of any of these disorders, try building
up the blood with Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, and as the blood is restored to
its nirmal condition every symptom of
the trouble will disappear. There are
more people who owe their present
state of good health to Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills than to any other medicine,
and most of them do not hesitate to
say so.
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine or, by
mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for
$2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine

Yet Living.
After Meta Deal had gone, Pauline
went up to her room and locked the
door. She was angry and hurt, and
she did not want to see anyone. To
think that Meta Deal should calmly
ask her for Roy's letter—Roy's last
letter, the most sacred thing she had
in the world—to read to her club
girls! It had seemed like a desecra-
tion almost to have it framed in her
room; she had done that only because
the thin paper would soon wear out,
even with her reverent handling, and
she simply had, to see dt every day!
But the idea of suggesting that it be
read aloud to a lot of girls who had
never even known Roy—Pauline rem-
embered how she had felt when Sadie
Cummings walked up to it and read
it only the other day. Half -unconsci-
ously she crossed to her desk and read
for the thousandth time the words she
knew by heart. "
"This is to tell you not to worry,
dear. I got a few scratches, but no-
thing at all compared with most of the
boys. If you could see their courage
—I tell you, it makes life a great
thing. When it's all :over and we can
begin our life, dear, we've got to keep
it as big.as this. We've got to keep
our vision of the divine courage and
patience and unselfishness and love
hidden in commonplace lives. Of
course I don't need to say this to you,
of all people! But it is a joy to write
it because I feel as if in this way I
were coming a little bit nearer you."

He never had wakened from that

I could make you understand what his

The old, overwhelming grief swept
the girl. It was not for herself, she
sobbed; it was not! It was because
the world needed him so. He would
have made such a wonderful surgeon
. all his teachers had said so. To have
a life like that cut short was cruel
beyond words. -
And then a strange thing happened.
As clearly as if it were before her,
Pauline saw Sadie Cummings's face as
she stood reading that letter. More
than that: she seemed to see Sadie
Cummings's very self as she had been
since—less wild, less stiippant, blund-
eringly, and crudely, but honestly,.
reaching out for better things. Pauline
sat there, trying to think out this
new, hard thing. Did she really want
Roy's life to go on in the world, or
did she want to keep it for herself
alone, sharing its beauty and its in-
spiration with no one else? That was
the question. At last Pauline rose
and went to the telephone.
"Is that you, Meta?" she called.
"Meta, I've been thinking about that
letter. I was selfish. I see that now.
You may read it to your girls."
The Only Way.
Mrs. Clymer was giving a little din-

In despair the good lady tackled her

"Not in the dining -roil,' was the
cookey's firm response. "But I've had
some canteen experience, so if you'll
line up your guests and send them
out here with their plates I'll see that
they get all that's comin' to them!"

The I11 -Fated Children of the Czar
When Russia entered the war, part
of Czarskoe Selo Palace was made in-
to a hospital; the younger daughters
of the Czar, Maria and Anastasia,.
were made the hostesses, and 'Olga
and Tatiana were nurses. I was at
the hospital thirteen months, writes
Capt. Geraschinevsky, and the girls
came every day except when they did
not behave; often the Czarevitch
came, too. We all loved the boy and
the girls. You could not have told
them from the ordinary children ex-
cept that they were so well-behaved.
When his sisters were not round, the
Czarevitch always complained that he
was lonesome at the castle.
On one occasion at the front, when
the Czar was occupying a simple
house, Gen. Suchomlinoff, the minister
of war, came into the room where the
Ozarevitch sat drawing pictures 'with
colored pencils. The minister did
not pay any attention to the boy. It
is customary to ask permission before
you may sit down in the presence of
the Czarevitch. When the boy's
governess came in to ask what he
wanted for lunch, the Czarevitch stood
up, spoke to her, and when she left
the room turned to the general and
said:
"General, it is customary to stand
when a lady comes into the room."
When the Czarevitch misbehaved,
the Czar would call the boy's male
nurse, a sailor by the name of Dere-
venko, who would command the
prince to about' face, forward march,
and conduct him to his room, where
he had to remain and study for the
rest of the day. The boy's pet was a
spaniel, and he had a little automo-
bile that he drove himself. .
Maria and Anastasia showed us their
photograph albums. I noticed it snap-
shot that they had taken of the Czar
and the Kaiser together on a battle-
ship. The face of the Kaiser was
scratched. I asked how that happen-
ed. Anastasia answered that Alexis
did it with his nails.
The children used to talk Russian
very fluently, very fast, and I believe
the reason they spoke so fast was
that they -were so rarely in contact
with strangers that they were always
in a hurry to tell them all they knew,
before they would be called away. The
girls sat at the bedside of wounded ofs
ficers and soldiers and asked to be
told stories of outside life. They called
"outside life" anything that was not
connected with the castle. They
would listen intently to every word.

Every mother knows how fatal the
hot summer months are to small
children. Cholera infantum, diarr-
hoea, dysentry, colic and stomach
troubles are rife at this time and
often a precious little life is lost after
only a few hours illness. The mother
who keeps Baby's Own Tablets in the
house feels safe. The occasional use
of the Tablets prevent stomach and
bowel troubles, or if trouble comes
suddenly—as it generally does—the
Tablets will bring the baby safely

Tie_ Shocks Near the Top.
As a nation we waste enough corn
to supply many Europeans with bread.
Much of the waste is due to poor
shocking.
By a little care in building the
shocks and in tying them high near
their tops, good protection is afforded
both grain and stover. If the stalks
of each eermload do not slant in one
direction only toward the centre of
the shock—and if the tying is not
done high up near the top, the shock
is very likely to twist. Tying near
the top prevents twisting.
Equal distribution of the armloads
of corn around a shock is important.
An equal distribution, with all the
stalks slanting toward the centre,
forms a conical stormproof shock,
having each corn -stalk acting as a
brace to hold the shock erect. With
more weight of corn on one side than
on the opposite side, the shock is like-
ly to lean or go down. Twisted and
fallen shocks are difficult to handle
and to husk.

was a story telling how a young boy,
trying to imitate the hero of a certain
lurid "wild west" magazine, hung him-

The reason was that the boy had
probably never been educated at home
in the matter of good reading.
In many other homes it is the same.
Boys and girls are not told by their
parents the difference between good
and bad books. And, sometimes, the

When I Like Potatoes.
When I'm walking in the garden,
Many fancy things I see;
But the common old, potato
Is 'bout good enough for me.
Take it, say, for Sunday dinner,
Or when company comes to eat,
All mashed up so light and creamy,
It is pretty hard to beat.
And most any way you fix 'em—
Boiled or fried, and all the rest—
I don't know as I could tell you
When I like potatoes best.
When you smell the bacon frying,
Then I think that dinner -time
Is the time to eat potatoes—
Fixed with gravy, they are fine,
But at night, when cold and tired
Doing chores and cutting wood,
Then a great big white potato
Baked for supper's mighty good.
And I like 'ern fried for breakfast—
If I really have my say
As to when I like potatoes,
It's about three times a day,

woman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan and is the ideal skin softener,
whitener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands.

Hurrah ! How's This
Cincinnati authority says corns
dry up and lift out
with fingers.
Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
you that a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone can be obtained at lit-
tle cost from the drug store but is suf-
ficient to rid one's feet of every hard
Or soft corn or callus_
You simply apply a few drops of
freezone on a tender, aching corn and
soreness is instantly relieved. Short-
ly the entire corn can be lifted out,
root and all, without pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without inflaming or even irri.
tating the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels ells
will be glad to know of this.
