PICRIC ACID MADE FOR WAR I USE FOR BLASTING STOMPS Large Quantities of High* Explosive Salvaged and Distributed Aniong the States for Sale at Low lr~cc -Comparable With Dynamite .or Clearing Land. Distribution by the United States Department of Agriculture of 12,500, 000 pounds of picric acid salvaged from the war stores and designed to be used for farm explosive swill arouse interest in the desirability andl prac ticability of blasting stumps to clear off old woodlots for crop purposes. The picric acid for distribution has I been allotted to the States according I to arears of cut-over lands. It is planned to establish an agency in each State to cooperate with the depart ment, and the agricultural college inl I each State has been asked to act in that capacity. Not Commercially Available I Picric acid is rather higher in ex plosive power th.'ho ordinary commer cial dynamite as U.-ed in agriculture, but for manufacturi.ip reasons is not likely to be on the market after the Government's Supply is disposed of. For stump and rock blasting work it is used in practically the same way, being exploded by a detonating Cap, either with a fuse or an electric de tonator. In blasting stumps, the proper loca tion and size of the charge depend up on the kind, size, and age of the stump; the kind of soil anI the amount. of moisture in it; and the method of firing the charge which is to be used. For tap-rooted stumps a good me thod is to dig away enough earth at the side to permit boring an inclinedI hole well down pase the center at the depth where it is desired to cut the I root off. The hole should be at least 8 inches deeper than the length of the cartridge to allow for tamping. This - charge may be fired by fuse or eiec-. tricity, or two or more charges may be placed in holes around the outsi(le of the root and fired with an electric blasting machine. Sometimes Cven one large charge, planted(l deep on the outsi(le of the root, will do the work. b Where stumps have lateral roots, e some experience and judgment will be " necessary in placing the explosive, es- S pecially if only one charge is used. Generally the center of resistance will ? be the center of the stump, although sometimes roo tson one side are much stronger than on the other. s t Tihe depth requires careful consid- a eration. For small stumps the charge should b,,! at least 2 feet (leep, while larger stumps with widle-spreading i roots should be loaded deeper. Sandy soil requires a deeper charge than L clay or loam. t The size of the charge can not be d specified birefly, but one authority re- o Commends roughly one-half pound of t 20 pier cent dylimmite for each square C foot of stump. With picric acid, co operative investigations by the United 1 States Department of Agriculture and other institutions indicates that suc cess can be attained with one-fourth of a pound for each sqrare foot of white pine stupi s, with larger charges a for hardwood stumps. The iinexperien- 1 ced blaster should begini experiments - with small stuips and adjust the chari'ge. Holes in soil may usually be made by Iriving a 1 1-2-inch crowbar with a 10-pound mul. In wood, of course. an1 auger is required. Sometimes it is wise to set off a small charge in the bottom of the hole to form a chamber and after the hole has- Cooled tamp it full of slit cartridges. If the soil is dry, the paper covering of the cart ridges may be slit with a sharp knife { and the cartridges tamped into a solid mass with a wooden stick. Cartridges may be divided by slitting the paper aroud and reak i ng. Never attempt to slit a frozen cartridlge. To prime the charge, cut off the pro-" per' length of fuse, allowing at least ~ 2 feet per minu itt reqluire(d to get to safety after firing. Open the cal) box and allowv one cap ' to sIlde out inito the hand. Never pick or pry out a capj with ai sLiek or wire, as they are very sensitive. Slip the end of the fuse sn ugly int th open (end( of the cap. Cimip the cap on with a cimUpCer. If the charge is to be firedl in) water, a pply a little grease a ronnod the top of' the cal). 'With the crimperlt' handle, or a st ick the size of a lead pencil, miake a hole in the sidle of the cartridge, incl ining it so the part to be occupied hy thle cap will be parallel with the side of the eamrtridge.

Paint Rock, Ala.-Mrs. C. M. Stegall, f near here, recently related the fol. owing Interesting account of her re. iovery: "I was In a weakened con. lition. I was sick three years in bed, iufferlng a great deal of pain, weak, iervous, depressed. I was so weak, [ couldn't walk across the floor; just iad to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried ivory thing I heard of, and a number of loctors. Still I didn't get any relief. [ couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I )elleve If I hadn't heard of and taken )ardui I would have died. I bought ix bottles, attir a neighbor told me hat It did for her. "I began to eat and sleep, began to rain- my strength and am now well md strong. I haven't had any trou le since ... I sure can testify to the iopd that Cardul did me. I don't .hlnk there is a better tonic made md I believe it saved my life." For over 40 years, thousands of wo non have used Cardul successfully, in the treatment of many womanly Lilments.

Never use iron. loist clay, ioist loani, and moist sand allowing one another i nthe order aied, make the best tamping ma irial. The material should be pack di lightly for 4 or ( inches, and then ammed as hard as the surrounding oil. Before firing see that everybody is at of the way. In firing a safety fuse is best to split it, exposing the pow er for an ineh, apply a match until he powder spits, and then run to afety. If the charge fails, let it lone until next day. For large jobs , will often be found advisable to buy n electric blasting outfit, which will re several charges at once. The Bureau of Publie Roads of the Inited States Department of Agricul Lre Will give information about the istribution of picric acid and the use f this and other explosives. The (is ribution, however, will be made only hrough State agencies. o IG GAME IIUNfTEiR GROWS EXCITl11) London, Oct. 24.-A good elephant arn is told by .1.
