'Sanitized' Mattress Fresh, Clean, Hygienic

/When a mattress has been "sani­tized" it becomes germ resistant and odor repellent—two most desir­able qualities. The new mattress you buy may be clean and hygienic When' purchased, but you can readily understand^that the ordinary (unganitized) mattress will not nec­essarily remain truly sanitary for long when in use in the home.

There are germs in the , air. Geirms picked up in handling. Germs from sleepers' bodies; All these ca,n, get into the ticking of the- or­dinary mattress and there .they thrive. The tfery warmth and rhcoisture of a sleeping body pro­vides ideal conditions for bacteria to breed and offensive perspiration odors to develop.'' Although a care-

,fpi housekeeper changes her bed linens frequently, she can't launder

, her mattress, and no matter how thoroughly she brushes and airs it, she doesn't in that way get full pro­tection and peace of mind.

Sanitized ticking definitely inhibits germ growth. Even the tough hard-to-kill staphylococcus aureus (the standard germ organism used in the U. S. government approved tests of antiseptic efficiency) does not breed and multiply in the sani­tized ticking.

Sanitized ticking resists formation of offensive body odor. A normal person's perspiration is odorless as i t leaves the body. It is the decom­position of perspiration by bacteria that gives rise to unpleasant odors. By preventing the action of such bacteria, the sanitized mattress Stays fresh, clean-smelling and hy­gienic.

Vegetable Water Can Be A Vitamin Filled Broth

If you have been listening, as you . most certainly should, to the wide­spread advice on saving the water in which vegetables are cooked you may be looking for an idea on how to use this vitamin filled broth. .

Say you have.a cupful of essence from cooked carrots, spinach, string beans and potatoes, you may use it to good advantage in a Bisque of Salmon and Oysters.

First, combine .: this vegetable liquor and add enough water tQ make the quantity measure J" pints. Add 3 veal or chicken bouillon cubes and heat, stirring, until these are melted. Then- add 1 tall can of red salmon which you have freed of bone and flak-ed. Let these sim­mer for 35 or 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, in the top of the double boiler melt 2 tablespoons of butter and blend in" 2 level table­spoons of flour. Add i^lteaspoon of salt, a dash of nutmeg, % teaspooa of Worcestershire sauce, a trace of cayenne and 1 tablespoon of minced parsley and then stir in 1 cup of tpp milk or thin cream and cook this over boiling water, stirring from time to time, for about 15 min­utes. Then stir the salmon mixture into it and mix well and after that pour it through a sieve pressing all the substance that will go through with little persuasion from the back of a spoon.

After it "is sieved, reheat it but oh no account let it actually boil again—just get it boiling hot. iAt the last minute add a large table­spoon of butter and 2 dozen oysters that have been heated in their own juice until the edges curl, then drained.

Eagle Club Head Tells of

Boys in fill-Uniforms.

LONDON.—Ten thousand Amer­icans, most of them under 25, are fighting with Britain and her allies, Bobert Hutchinspn, chairman of the American Eagle club, said.

•The Eagle club is a sort of super-canteen for Americans on this side-of the Atlantic and for other forces. It is maintained by private contri­butions, plus profits_.frbm low prices charged the troops.. . Hutchinson and Mrs. Hutchinson,, known as the father and mother of the Eagle clubs say they knew' hun­dreds of the volunteers from the United States by name and thou­sands by .their faces.

"The largest number is with the Canadians," said Hutchinson. "But you find • American boys every­where."

A number of those in England were caught in German invasions of European countries and finally made their way to London.

"We meet them in the 'Free French' and even in the 'Free Ru­manian' forces," said Hutchinson.

"We particularly need a dormi­tory for these boys,"' Hutchinson said. "We close early and have to turn them out into the blackout."

Hutchinson said many persons had the idea the life of a soldier in this war was comparatively easy.

"I know better," he said. "I have seen them come in here after being bombed out, after operating anti­aircraft guns and after working with bomb damage until they are tired, dog tired."

The Eagle club "is the one place in wartime London where an Amer­ican can buy a hamburger for less than 10 cents and coffee that tastes American.

Cork Native of Spain Cork is the thick, soft, porous

outer bark of the cork oak, which is an evergreen tree of the oak fam­ily native 'to'lPortugal.-^Jpain, North Africa and most other countries bor­dering on. the Mediterranean. The cork of commerce is not the true bark of the cork oak through which the sap circulates, but a layer of spo'ngy, elastic, tough, and impervi­ous cellular tissue that forms out­side the true bark. If the true or inner bark of the cork oak is dam­aged, the tree will die; but the outer layer of cork, which is light because composed-of the walls of dead cells filled with air, may be removed.

Sugar Industry in South Was Born in Old Kettle

BATON ROUGE, LA.—An pld iron' kettle, blackened by the many fires over which it has hung in the past 200 years, rests on the campus of Louisiana State university as a memorial to the man who made Louisiana's sugar industry possible.

Indigo was the money crop when the French planter aristocracy owned plantations that stretched for miles along the bayous and lakes of southern Louisiana at the end of the Eighteenth century. Jean Etienne de Bore was no exception.

De Bore was born in the Illinois section of the Louisiana Purchase territory. At the age of four he wasf taken to France by his parents where he received his education and later married into large colonial holdings.

He returned to New Orleans with his wife about the time of the French revolution and established his plantation on what now is a part of Audubon park near the city limits.

There'he engaged in the planting of indigo. When a blight, however, wiped -out the indigo props, De Bore and the other planters were faced with bankruptcy.

Many planters already had 'tried to granulate sugar from cane juice, but their experiments failed time after time. De Bore, overriding the protests Of his wife, decided to have a fling at the sugar business.

Utilize Smoke Pipe's Heat A new device utilizes the heat

from the smoke pipe of a house heating plant to heat, water for the bathroom, kitchen and laundry. The' unit1 consists of a jacket of cast' iron or aluminum alloy which is clahiped around the smoke pipe. Cold water from a storage- tank travels to the' jacket where it is heated and then returns to the upper half of the tank. There is a continuous circulation of water be­tween the storage tank and the heating unii around the smoke pipe. It is claimed that water which en­ters the unit at a temperature of 48 degrees is heated to a temperature of 130 when it leaves. The unit utilizes heat given off by -a smoke pipe which otherwise is wasted.

Origin o t Word Maverick For AJU Stray Yearlings

Every ranchman in Montana knows, that a maverick is a yearling calf without a brand, the property of the first handyman who affixes his brand to the animal, providing, always, that he is not caught a"t it. Time was when all one needed to make a start-'in the cattle busi­ness was a rope and a bran'ding iron.

How many are there who know how the word "maverick" origi­nated. Capt. Dan W. Roberts,. one of the organizers of the famous Texas rangers, in his book, "Rangers

'and Sovereignity," explains the origin of the word as follows:

"In the early days of Texas, say from 1845 ' to 1860, the' cattlemen worked together" in perfect harmony and in each other's interest. Sam Maverick was probably the largest cattle owner in the state, at that time. So large was the area of" his cattle range that his men could hardly get over it in one season to mark and brand his calves. -Maver­ick was a wealthy and influential man and the small cattle owners looked after.his interests, together with their own.

"When the- cattlemen were work­ing their ranges and'came upon a yearling that was not marked or branded, they generally conceded that it belonged to Sam Maverick. So common was the* expression 'maverick' that they applied it straight to the animal, and all un-branded yearlings were called aaavericks. The term became gen­eral i all over the state and spread into other states of the West, where there was any cattle raising."

.Origin of Sabotage The word "sabotage," much in the

news, i s from the French "sabot"— a wooden shoe. In its original in­terpretation, the meaning came from the practice of throwing a wooden shoe into the machinery in order to stop production.

Savants Perfect Way For X :Raying Metals

A new technique for* X-ray analy­sis of metals, alloys, welds, or small flfcetal parts, which may be of great value to the armament industry as well /as for peace time work, was discussed.' recently at the twenty-second annual convention of the Anerican-Society of Metals'.

Early developments of this meth-0 are now used'in airplane manu-Mkcturing. The improved technique *aras presented by Dr. G. L. Clark, University of Illinois chemistry pro­fessor, and Dr. W. M. Staffer, Iowa-

' SfeHie Teachers college' chemistry professor.

i t involves X-raying a thin speci­men of the metal on plates having special, extremely fine grain photo­graphic emulsions, and then enlarg­ing this negative 100 to 200 times. The original photograph - is about the size of the end of a lead pencil.

The enlargement shows elements in the . metal, whether they are spread evenly or bunched, and any flaws or cracks which are in the •aetal. These flaws may be orig­inally present or result from work­ing the metal. Flaws in welds are instantly noticeable. Entire small metal parts may be X-rayed.

The X-r.ay gives the metallurgist a three-dimensional view, enabling him actually to look into. the speci­men. Other methods of microscopic study show him. only the surface, and involve troublesome techniques of etching or polishing.

Pastor Developing Cloth Fresco A streamline version of an ancient

art is being developed by the Rev­erend Omer J. Chevrette of West Warren, Mass. He has been grant­ed a - patent on his process of painting fresco on cloth, a work that seemingly has aroused the interest of the art world. Under Reverend Chevrette's process, a slcetch is first outlined, in pencil, the cloth is satu­rated with dyes, and when dry are covered with water color pigments. This process gives depth and rich­ness of tone as well as a lasting pic­ture. Under the ancient process, artists first 1 outlined a sketch on fresh plaster, then laid .in colors which would sink into the plaster and make a permanent picture. Reverend Chevrette is spending all his spare time on his new process.

Seal That Apes Judas War on marauding sea lions and

their concubines is being waged on the lower Columbia river, near Portland, Ore. Commercial fisher­men, last year, lost" half of their late fall catch when the sea lions robbed, the fisher men's gilknets. A trained seal will act as a decoy to bring.the $ea lions within range of riflemen. The seal will go out among the herd of sea lions and at­tract them shoreward where armed fishermen will, crack on all the lions but the one used as a decoy. The sea lions work* along the stretch of a gill-net eating a fish here and there and often biting a chunk out of a fish, leaving tell-. tale mark's to the disgust of the fish­erman.
