It Can’t Leak,
Because Its Made
in One Piece
A KANTLEEK is built like a
bottle—all in one piece.
Most hot-water bottles ere
made in sections, then cemented
together. When cement dries
and cracks, the bottle leaks.
Every Kantleek Hot-Water
Bag is moulded of pure soft
rubber—one continuous piece.
No parts, patches, c;cment. Even
stopper socket is moulded in.
And guaranteed for a full two
years’ service—or a new Kant-
leek free.
Don’t wait until your old bag
leaks. Get a Kantleek. Your old
one may break open tonight.

semblance. The burdock bus Its vulner
able snot, but few know where it is.
An eastern farmer, Ifcjug Ih a rural
dbsfwSh where the woiiwess bnnlwk
had trr^r.enly lived Its Ii«1i^sif]e1ife for
years, hapitencd on id ' the 1mr-
doH> fl weakness—anil burdock ceased
straightway to be a bad pest on that
farm.
Thtrfnrmer cut, using a bush scythe,
the burdocks infesting n fence corner.
They were flourishing, arrogant bur
docks—the kind that grew as tall as a
man nearly and for a brief pcriotl In
the summer, when the green burrs
make elegant balls and cushions, are
a delight to the children.
This farmer cut them ail down witli
a scythe. A few hours later—it was In
hot. dry weather—It occurred to him
tp try to pull tip the roots. Thus he
Stumbled on the peculiar weakness of
the burdock.
It lias a long inp root which shrinks
when the plant is first cut. If the
plants have been cut otT about four
inches above the ground, leaving a hilt
which can tie readily grasp' d, and if
tiie pulling is attended to while the tap
root is still in the shrunken state, it is
possible to pull the tap root up al
most to Is bottommost end.
RACIAL VIGOR WILL RETURN
Engli&h Writer cf Opinion That Matter
May Safely Be Left to Mother
Nature.
Many writers have laid stress upon
the fact that Europe, in losing Hie
flower of lis youth upon the battle
field, lias left only the leasttfit and
most unl.eaHliy to become the progeni
tors of future races. And they cite
Hie effect of the Napoleonic wars on
the physique and stamina of the
French.
In answer HV these pessimists the
scientific editor of the Illustrated Lon
don News writes:
“Against this it may l»u urged that
(he recuperative power of nature soon
reasserts itself, and no one who lias
watched year by year up to Itil t (as
did Hie present wriler) the yearly re
views on July 14 could douhtrftlmt, at
the outbreak of tiie present war, the
Frenchman had mb%‘ than recovered
the (nil stature and the high muscular
and nervous energy of his forefather?.
While, therefore, we must expect a
cert a hi falling off in the p!.$* ique of the
cli>blnfc> horn between, say, 1011 and
thirty years hence, we may lie fairly
confident that, given the maintenance
of Hie present standard of living and
the absence of any great epidemic, at
the end of that time Hie English race
will return to Its prewar standard of
physical fitness.”
Tfis Biggest Crater.
Two young Swedish students of ge
ology named Wadell and Yghcrg, after
nn expedition in Iceland, have dix-
rovered what is believed to be the
largest t crater in the world, measur
ing five miles long ami a iimirlor mile
tvidc, and further claim to have d;s-
fovered warm springs.

Just Occurred to Her.
A child's prayer has long lieesi cele
brated in song and story. Prayers
from Hie youthful lips of faith have
ever appealed to mankind. There sire
few so hardened as not fo las moved
by su.-h prayers, or ri’inesnbor with
awe their own lisping of “Now I lay
me down to ,sleep."
Clifidren also, in their Innocence,
sometimes say prayers which are not
without their bunioi'ous side, and
these, too, have Imhoi handed down to
posterity. In this latter class belongs
the following true account of the
prayer of a little girl who lives just
on the other side of tiie District line
in Maryland.
Little Lois was compleling her eve
ning prayer at her mot lies’'s knee.
“Auicn,” finished Lois, and then,
without a pause;
“Mamma, has the Lord got a bald
head like daddy?”—Washington Star.
Electrification of Seeds.
There appears to he much interest In
tiie electrification of seeds and tiie ap
plication of electricity to growing
plants. A recent account of work along
those lines (cits of a new method of
aiding plant growth. The seeds, ten
or twenty snek.t, are placed in tanks
provided with Iren electrodes at both
ends; Hie electrolyte Is a solution of
sodium nitrate or some other fertiliz
er. Parlleiilnrly with cereals—wheat,
barley and oats -the yields of both
grain and straw are said to be in
creased, Some five hundred fanners
have taken up the treatment of the
seeds, which is followed by a very
careful drying in n kiln. The treat
ment is applied about a month or two
before sowing. Scientific American.
