doh't forget the L.OHG DISTANCE TELEPHONE 'A DIVIDEND MAKER. ‘MERMAN FRASCH’S INVENTION WAS PRACTICAL AND PROFITABLE. The Present - Prosperity of the Standard OU Company Largely Due te His Method of Refining Ohio Oil—Rn Ingenious Ger man-American. Whenever our great inventors are be- Ing mentioned do you ever hear the name of Herman Frasch of Cleveland? Probably not. Yet Mr. Frasch is un in ventor whose work is-directly responsi ble for the commercial prestige of one of the most profitable concerns in this country. Last year the Standard Oil company paid in dividends to its stock holders the enormous sum of $33,000,- 000. Had it not been for an invention of Mr. Frasch this company’s dividends would have been, only a fraction of that afiiount—how small a fraction it would be hard to estimate. Perhaps no divi dend would have been declared at all. ’ During the earlier years of the exist ence of the Standard Oil company the Pennsylvania arid New York fields fur nished an amount of crude oil which was greater than the demand, and enor mous quantities, many millions of bar rels in fact, were stored in iron tanks. The Standard was not paying 33 per cent dividends in those days. By sys tematic and energetic efforts, however, the world’s consumption of kerosene oil as an illuininant was increased. The refined oil was exported and introduced in all quarters of the globe until the bine barrels with which we are all so familiar were being unloaded at all the ports of the world. In the meantime the oil output had decreased almost as mush as the con- ■ sumption of oil had increased. The i Standard, having successfully throttled all competition and seized the world’s markets, found itself confronted with the prospect of being unable in the course of <a few years to supply those ■ markets. This was a serious condition. Just when affairs looked most un promising—in 1885, to be exact—an en ’tirely new oilfield was discovered in • Ohio. It was extensive, and crude petro leum was abundant, but it was soon dis k covered.that the Ohio oil was of a far different kind from that of Pennsylvania and New York. The methods which had been used with such success to re : fine the product of the old fields were ; practically useless when applied to the Ohio product. The Standard was early r ■ HERMAN FRASCH. *«on the ground and secured a big slice of -the territory, but the refined oil from tJhe new field was found to be practical ly useless as an illuruinant. The crude 'Oil could be sold for about 16 cents a .barrel as fuel, but it added nothing to ■ the visible supply of refined petroleum.

Nine months later I had a fine girl baby.** brought to bear on the prooiem oi refin ing this new oil, but after months of experimenting it waa decided the Ohio oil was only fit for fuel. As a result the refinery at Lima, 0., was dosed, and the Standard people resigned them selves to the gloomy prospect of seeing their giant industry slowly waste away. Just at this gloomy juncture the Standard people heard that Herman Frasch of London, Canada, had solved the problem of freeing the Ohio oil from its objectionable qualities and was mak ing a perfect illuminant of it by a cheap process and on a large scale. For months the Standard people would scarcely cred it the news, but after a thorough inves tigation Mr. Frasch’s patented process was purchased at a most liberal figure, and under his direction new and exten sive refineries were erected. At present nearly 60,000 barrels of crude oil are being refined by the Frasch process every day, and instead of the Standard Oil company passing out of existence it is now one of the most gigantic corpora tions on the globe. According to all rules of fiction, the inventor of this profit making process should have starved in a garret, but Mr. j Frasch was not a character in fiction, and he did not part with the secret of his process until he was assured that he would be handsomely paid for the same Instead of dragging out a miserable ex istence in poverty he is enjoying a royal income and lives in good Htyle.in Cleve land. Mr. Frasch is a highly educated and genial gentleman who is just in the prime of life. He comes from an old German family and was born in Wurt temberg in 1851. His father, Johann Frasch, was mayor of that city. Her man received a classical education, be ing graduated from Heidelberg. He be came especially proficient in chemistry and natural philosophy, sciences which he has put to most practical and profita ble use. His process for refining oil is only one of a score of important and valuable inventions which he has pro duced. He perfected a process for dis solving sulphur while still in the origi nal deposit, making it possible to mine that substance just as salt is mined, by pumping. This process is in successful operation in the south and has revolu tionized the industry. S. C. Schenck. Sore Throat. a In a Tetter to Dr. Hartman, dated Deo. 27th, 1896, George A. Blanchard, of Washington, Ga. write-s: “My throat had been in the habit of getting sore every year for the last twenty years, and if any med > cal skill did me any good it was so little 1 did not know it. Two years ago my wife was down sick two months, tried two doctors, but the case was a stub born one of female trouble. I found in Pe-ru-na not only a good, safe remedy for sore throat, but one for weakness and nervous prostration. I quit the doc tors and purchased a bottle of Peru na, and in three days after my wife got up and she has been going ever since, and I have not been bothered with that bad sore throat. It used to last at least fif teen or twenty days. Since we have used your medicine my wife has not lost a single day, and she has gained over fifty pounds.” In a later letter, July 22d. 1897, Mr. Blanchard writes: • ‘All of the sickness we have in the family is when we can not get Pe ru-na. We people in the South think Pe-ru-na is a God-sent blessing. I recommended Pe ru-na to friends of mine that had asthma and one bottle cured them. Whenever Pe ru-na is used it speaks loudly for itself.” Dr. Hartman, the original com pounder of Pe-ru-na, has a recent book on chronic catarrh which will be sent free by the Pe ru-na Drug M’f’g Co..

Just at the time when vague reports were beginning to creep abroad that Germany was meditating fresh exten sion of her frontier at the expense of Holland a Dutch official of high rank happened to be visiting the court of Berlin, and among other spectacles got up to amuse him a review was organized at Potsdam. “What does your excellency think of our soldiers?” asked Prince Bismarck as one of the regiments came marching past in admirable order. “They look as if they knew how to fight, ” replied the visitor gravely, “but they are not quite tall enough. ’’ The prince looked rather surprised, but made no answer, and several other regiments filed past in succession, but the Dutchman’s verdict upon each was still the same,’ “Not tall enough. ’’ At length the grenadiers of the guard made their appearance—a magnificent body of veterans, big and stalwart enough to have satisfied even the giant loving father of Frederick the Great, but the inexorable critic merely said, “Fine soldiers, but not tall enough. ” Then Prince Bismarck rejoined: “These grenadiers are the finest men in our whole army May 1 ask what your excellency is pleased to mean Uy saying that they are not tall enough?” The Dutchman looked him full in the face and replied, with significant em phasis, “I mean that we can flood our country 12 feet deep.”—London Tit- Bits.

Among homemade Christmas pres ents a set of envelopes for interesting clippings can be made as, elaborate aa. - / l 'A f n• - iii- J_ ii i■ sihY\ one wishes. The essentials are to take long envelopes and label them for the various purposes for which they are in tended. For instance, one set contains one envelope each for clippings relating to politics, medicine, society, stocks, religion, poetry, celebrities and college news. Such a set should be- a very nice present for a sister to give a brother who was prominent in college journal ism. Just the bare envelopes tied to gether with the college colors would suffice, but to make the set more fan ciful take some chamois skin and cut it large enough to form a sort of book cov er for the envelopes, decorate it if pos sible, but if not simply print the word clippings in gilt letters on the back. Then lay the envelopes together and punch two holes about 2% inches apart, make holes in the chamois cover to cor respond and run ribbons through envel opes and cover to tie them together. Another fancy made after the same fashion is a number of decorated cards tied together in a book. The cards are long and tied at the ends. The outside card is decorated with clover blossoms and labeled in gilt letters, “Baby’s Progress.” The next leaf has “Baby’s Birthday,” next “Baby’s Name,” next “Baby’s Weight,” with spaces for weight at birth, at one month, at two months, at six months, etc.; next, “What Baby First Said,” and last, “When Baby First Walked,” with tiny shoes and slippers for decoration at the foot of the page. This, of course, would be a dainty gift for the fond young mother from her sister or dear friend. These, however, involve some skill in painting and are of no use to the ordi nary mortal whose birth was not recog nized by the color muse. The Coming Woman Who goes to the club while her husband tends the baby, as well as the good old fashioned woman who looks after her home, will both at times get run down in health. They will be troubled with lose of appetite, headaches, sleeplessness, fainting or dizzy spells. The most won derful remedy for these women is Elec tric Bitters. Thousands of sufferers from Lame Back and weak Kidneys rise np and call it blessed. It is the medicine for women. Female complaints and Nervous troubles of all kinds are soon relieved by the use of Electric bitters. Delicate women should keep this remedy on hand to build up the system. Only 50c per bottle.
