PatHotlsm Defined. "Patriotism," said Uncle Eben. "Is Irttat makes « niau glad he's Itvlu', |iwu4 of where he'a Uvlu', an' able tu ^MPtalu wby iw's Uvlo'."
In the present srut* emerprency, when coal is «o harrl to gft, nobody seetns to have devoted much atten¬ tion to the vast peat beds which exist all over the United Stat<'S and which have been prncticelly untouched.
In view of the universal use of peat in IrelsnrI snd Scandinavia, attention was called recently to the fact that there are some 20,000,000 acrea of peat in the United States. It was tujfsT^ted that it mijfht lie possible to cut peat .dry it more rapidly than it is dried in Ireland, and use it as a coal substitute.
The interest of Dr. John Mickle- borough, who has something of a reputation as a geolof^ist, was avirak- ened in tho matter. After looking into the situation, he said:
'There are great peat beds all over New Enifland snd in Massachusetts, it is estimated, that there are 12,000- OOO cords. Thero i.? also considerable peet in New York State. In the Dis¬ mal Swamp of the South there are vast quantities of peat extending ten or twenty miles,"
"How about the Everglades of Florida?"
"It is quite possible that there is a lot of peat there.''
Dr. Mickleborough explained how the peat was cut into blocks and dried. He said that peat put into bocks in the spring and put under the sun's influence would be ready for the market in the fall.
"Would it not lie po.saible to dry the peat tnore (juickly by electricity or by building a fire under it and drying it as bricks are dried?" he was asked.
"Ib is worth looking into," he re¬ plied,
"1 have always thought," he con¬ tinued, "that the time would come when the peat hods of the country would l)e of very great service to us The IkhIs of the United States have never btH,'n surveyed. I should think that a great deal of peat might be readily u.sefl for fuel if those neigh- borhowis which are readily accessible to the peat fields and where the prob¬ lem of transportation is not a very serious" one.
"The blocks are sometimes com¬ pressed and used for boiler purpo.ses in factories. I .should think Ihat the wet peat might he compressed by ma¬ chinery and dried out more rapidly that way."
Dr. Mickleborough explained that peat was found near the surface and that it was a much simpler matter to bore for peat than for coal.
The Encyclopedia Britannica has this to say about peat:
"In Canada and the United States there are enormous deposits which have been little used except in the former lountry, where compressed peat is a product of the closing de¬ cade of the Nineteenth Century. .."*
The charcoal made from compress¬ ed peat is superior to wood charcoal and even compares with coke."
"In Ireland the peats are placet! on end in little groups to dry, when thoy are stored under cover."
.Moreover a peat bog may be con- verteil into arable lands Ly drainage Then applications of lime, marl and other soil amendmenls must be com¬ bined wilh frequent turning of the surface lo the weather, cspeci-ally to the action of frost during winter. Corn and potatoes may be planted thu lirst year and often such lands are found admirable for such crops as celery and onions. Stable manure accelerates fermentation of the peat und mineral fertilizers make up the deficiency of such ingredients in the bops or swamps, as they are called here.
Under the head of "Bog" the en- cyclopeiiia .says:
"In New England, the- Nortliwest- ern States and Canada the bogs fur¬ nish genuine peat and some of tho.se bordering on the Grent Lakes are of great extent. On Long Island, near New York, the bogs present a marked feature along the sandy coast."
The importance of paying attention to the peat fields now lies in the fact that the best informed coal men say that the present coal stringency is no temporary thing but will last prob¬ ably throughout the winter and the summer. While there is plenty of ?oal the consiiiuption has increased to such an extent that, according to Gardner Pattison of Pattiaon & Bowns, it has not l)een possible for the mines or the railroads to keep pace with the "speeding up" process.

ETH
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray f Here's Old-time Recipe that Any¬ body can Apply.
The use of Sago and Sulphur for re¬ storing faded, gray hair to its natural color d.-ites back to grandmother's time. Sho used It to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac¬ tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture -was applied 'with r.'onderful effect.
Iiut brewing at home Is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get this famous old preparation. Improved by the addition of other In- greiiients, which can be depended up¬ on to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says It d.arkens the hair so naturally nnd'ltvenly 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 g-Iossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com¬ pound Is a delightful toilet requisite for thoae -who desire a more youthful appearance. It Is not Intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
