DOES IT PAY TO WORRY
ABOUT APPENDICITIS?
Can appendicitis be guarded against?
Yes, by preventing Jntestlnal Infec
tion. The intestinal antiseptic, Adler
1-ka, acts on BOTH upper and lower
bowel, removing ALL foul, decaying
matter which might start infection.
EXCELLENT for gas on stomach or
chronic constipation. It removes mat
ter which you never thought was in
your system and which nothing else
can dislodge. One man reports it is
unbelievable the awful Impurities Ad

of No. 6 chilled shot —the size general
ly us**d In the hunting of ducks, rab
bits, squirrels and similar game —the
chances are that a good many of them
could not come anywhere near the cor
rect number. It is also probable that
few of them could tell you exactly
bow the shot Is made.
The manufacture of shot is, be Lt
known, a most interesting and Ingeni
ous process. In every plant where
shot Is made there .is one building
which stands out above all others.
This is the so-called "Shot-tower,"
which rises to a height of about two
hundred feet, and in this tower the op
erations employed in making shot be
gin. The capacity of the shot-tower
in a large modern plant is fifty tons of
shot a day, all of which Is made, un
touched by human hands, after the
bars of lead are put Into the great
melting cauldron on the topmost fioor
of the tower. The lead bars weigh
approximately one hundred pounds
each and are about two feet long.
They are put into the cauldron as
needed and melted by gas neat.
Exceptional pains are taken in man
ufacturing shot. Every size of chilled
shot has a differentfformulaa —a fact
which it seems difficult for the ordi
nary man to understand. It requires
223 pellets to make an ounce of No. 6
shot, or 8,558 to the pound. In the
case of No. 7% shot, the kind used In
trap shooting and for quail, grouse and
other birds of this type, 5,520 pellets
are required to make a pound. At
this rate It would take over eleven mil
lion pellets to make a ton of No. 7H
shot, and about half a billion would
represent a day’s output.
In one of the largest and oldest mu
nition manufacturing plants of New
England the top of the shot tower is
187 feet above the ground. On the
top floor is the huge cauldron in which
the lead bars ore melted. The heat in
this cauldron Is terrific and the bars
dissolve almost as quickly as a pound
of lard dumped Into a deep frying pan
already partly filled with the boiling
fat. It Is possible to melt one hun
dred tons of lead a day in this caul
dron, which means that one hundred
tons of shot can be turned out flally in
an emergency.
From the cauldron the molten metal
flows In a continuous stream, like so
much silver water. Into a sieve, while
a workman standing by stirs It con-
"Oddest Couple I Know"
“My cousin, Dan Broadhead, and
hla wife are the oddest couple I ever
knew,” asserted Hostetter Smith, “and
yet they appear to enjoy themselves
more than anybody else of my ac
quaintance, They buy nothing mere
ly because somebody else has It, but
only when they want It themselves.
"They do not permit anyone to se
lect their books, plays or m.ualc for
them. Tb*y own up that they know
tlnuously. From the sieve the hot
metal drops Into tanks of water 154
feet below, the pellets being formed
Just after passing through the sieve.
Exactly how long it takes to chill the
shot after the metal leaves the sieve
Is still a mystery, but It is known that
when the pellets reach the water,
which cannot take more than a frac
tion of a second, they have become
solid Spheres of remarkable roundness.
Special sieves with varying sizes of
perforation must be used for each in
dividual size of shot The size of shot,
however, may be regulated slightly by
change In temperature of the molten
metal.
From the tanks of water the shot
passes through a drying machine, and
thence to conveyors which take It up
several stories in the shot tower. Next
they go to a big revolving screen
where any rough bits of lead that may
be mixed up with the pellets are
culled out.
Leaving this screen the shot go to
a series of glass assorting tables,
where the perfect pellets are automat
ically selected, those having the slight
est Imperfections being discarded. The
shot flows from a hopper onto the glass
tables, which are very slightly in
clined, and the perfect pellets gather
sufficient momentum to roll down the
table and Jump a gap at the base,
while those pellets which are not
round enough to gather the required
momentum fall to Jump the gap and
pass into the scrap. Every pellet
passes over a series of a dozen of the
glass tables, placed one above the
other, and only those of perfect form
can survive the elimination tests. Any
imperfection whatever, such as rough
edges, slows up the rolling pellet so
that it drops into one of the gaps and
goes back to the melting pot to be
made over again.
In addition to all tills, samples from
each tank of shot are later tested for
roundness and appearance by rolling
the pellets over a glass plate set* at
an angle of about one-half of one de
gree.
From the last of the glass tables
the shot go into big revolving drums
with screens where the pellets are
sorted Into the various sizes. Each
size of shot goes through its proper
opening in the screens. The revolving
drums are equipped with rollers on
their outside surfaces, the function of
the rollers being to prevent the shot
from sticking in the holes In the
screens. The extraordinary mechani

at lons just described is Responsible for
the uniformity of the pellets.
After the pellets are sorted, they go
through polishing machines, the oper
ation of polishing being accomplished
by tumbling them in a long metal cyl*
Inder. Next the shot goes into great
storage tanks. There are sixty-two of
these tanks on the ground floor of the
plant In question, each bolding nine
and a half tons of shot.
The shot Is weighed into the storage
tanks by automatic weighers, and like
wise weighed out again In lots of twen
ty-five pounds, although the machines
In the weighing process can be adjust
ed to; weigh any amount of shot. The
shot Is prepared for shipment In bags.
For instance, if five pounds is desired,
this amount runs Into a bag, the bag
automatically moves Into position to a
sewing machine several Inches to one
side of the weighing device, where it
Is mechanically sewed up and is then
ready for the market
Before shot is shipped out, however,
each lot Is tested for hardness. This
quality is determined by compression
with a two-ounce weight which falls
a distance of 24 Inches. A pellet li

There is a definite standard of com
