TrURSDAY MoRNING, APRIL 29, 1909.
Instead of a loss to the railroads
from the financial depression of
$164,000,000, as given in the pre
hminary income report of the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
the loss was $330,000,000, accord
ing to figures compiled by a bureau
of railway statistice at Chicago.
Floating saloons in prohibition
territoriy have been severely jolted
by & ruling of the internal revenue
office that a special stamp does not
protect a steamboat while within
the jurisdiction of a prohibition
state. The blind tiger is still the
only reliable beast.
The Missouri senate has passed
a 8 ‘‘pure shoe’’ bill. The law re
quires that all shoes which con
tain a substitute for leather shall
be so branded on the sole. Man
ufacturers who violate the law are
barred from collecting the wvalue
of the sales, and may be fined in
any sum from $lO to $5OO.
What’s this? Whiskey not an
antidote for rattlesnake bite!
That is what Dr. Marshall, profes
sor of toxicelogy at the University
of Pennsylvania, says. Moreover,
he declares that there is no cure
for rattlesnake poison, if enough
of the venom 18 injected into the
blood to cause death. He says that
in the vast majority of cases the
snake does not inject enough poi
gon to do serious harm, but the
bitten person may be frightened
to death by the bite. The only
good whiskey does, according to
the doctor, is to put a little ““Dutch
courage’’ into the vietim and thus
reduce the degree of the fright un
ti] the system has had time to neg
ative the venom,
The Baltimore Sun points a way
to retrenchment in the government
expenditures that would mean
something. Revise and cleanse the
pension list, 1t says. It 18 now
forty-four years since the close of
the war, yet the pension payments
last year were the largest of any
year since the war. Thereare con
siderably more than 1,000,000 pen
gioners, and they are costing the
people of the country nearly $500,-
000 every day in the year. There
are abundant reasons for thinking
that the pension lists are burdened
with frauds, with deserters, bounty
jumperg, camp followers and other
persons who have no earthly right
to impose upon the government’s
bounty. [f all of these cases were
stricken from the rolls there would
be a tremendous saving to the gov
ernment. But copgressmen dare
not attuck the pensions.
Death ran an obstacle race with
Frank Mareis, at White Plains, N.
Y., the other day, and finally won.
Mareis, aged 70, wag crossing a
railroad track when au engine nar
rowly missed him. Jumping out
of the way of the engine he got in
frcnt of a carriage and was almost
under the horses when he made his
pext jump. That carried him on
a trolley track on which a car was
vowling along at twenty miles an
hour only & few feet away. Making
& {lying jump he got away from
the trolley car, only to find an au
tomobile bearing down on him and
““honkiug’’ to beat the band. Once
more Mareis leaped, not to safety
this time, but in front of a motor
cycle, which knocked him down.
As he fell hie head struck the curb
ing and his skull was fractured
He died in an hour. Death had
bhim tagged, and he just couldn’t
get away.
FOR TWO STATES,
The Georgia and Alabama In
dustrial Index says:
““The city and county govern
ments in Georgia and Alabama
continue to blaze the way along
lines of material improvement and
progress, and it is an example that
private enterprise is unhesitating
ly following. The city or town of
consequence that ie not planning
a bond issue of some kind for pub
lic improvements, or is not actu
ally cccupied with the prelimi
neries of such an election, is the
exception to the rule. During the
past week Moultrie, Ga., and Val
dosta, Ga., each voted $50,000 of
bonds for various Improvements.
Albany, Ga., awarded the contract
for a handsome $30,000 municipal
building.
‘At Waycross, Ga., & company
with a capital of $lOO,OOO was

buying of large tractse of land,
which will be planted with the best
varieties of thin-shelled pecans,
and then the pecan farms will be
sold to investors in the North and

“In Clinch county, Georgia,
there was a $20,000 turpentine

ALCOHOL FROM SAWDUST.
(Manufacturers’ Record, April 22,1909.)
Manufacture of ethyl alcohol
from sawdust is the rather start
ling proepect presented on another
page of this week’s issue of the
Manufacturers’ Record, by G. U.
Borde, an engineer of New Orleans,
who is now designing two plants,
one for the state of Washington
and one for Ontario, Canada, to
enter upon the process. Inan ar
ticle on the saving of waste of all
kinds 1n lamber operations and
the utilization to the full of all
material, Mr. Borde tells of his re
cent visit to France, where the in
dustry 18 upon a commercial basis
and where he had opportunity to
make experiments in it himself.
The results of his experiments may
be condensed as follows:
From every 3200 pounds of
green sawdust, equivalent to one
long ton of theoretically dry wood,
he obtained 214 gallons of 188-
degree-proof alcohol, equivalent
to |88.6 gallons of proof alcohol;
70 pounds of acetic acid, and
three-quarters of a ton of a refuse,
which the English and French are
manufacturing into stock food.
Because of the incompletion of the
plant where the test was made by
Mr, Borde, the best results were
not obtained. He estimates that
from every 3200 pounds of green
sawdust, one may obtain, at a cost
cf §7, 30 gallons of 188-degree al
cohol worth $l2, 76 pounds of
acetic acid worth $4.56, three
quarters of a tou of stock food
worth $17.25, or a total of $33 81,
a net profit of $20.81.
When one considers the miliions
of tons of sawdust and other waste
of the Jumber industry that is
burned to get it out of the way,
this opportunity for wealth in
waste through the derivation of
alcohol and other valuable pro
ducts, opens up a prospect possi
bly not even equaled by that which
came upon man when he ceased to
pour his cotton seed into the near
est stream and made the seed the
basis for an industry which, in
only 40 years, has reached an an
nual output valued at more than
$100,000,000.
“Come right in,”’ said Miss Sal
lie Randsll, station agent at
Shoreham, 1.. 1., as a burglar
poked his head through a window
he had forced. Miss Raudall had
a big revolver in her hand, and it
was pointed straight between the
burglar’s eyes. She spoke in her
sweetest and most persuasive voice,
but the burglar didn’t accept the
inyitation. Instead, he dropped
to the ground and ran, followed
by two ‘‘pais’’ who were on the
ground to help him rob the sta
tion. Miss Randall didn’t shoot,
but laughed as the men scampered
off.
DRUMMER GOT EVEN.
“I want a horse and buggy,”
said the drummer, ‘‘to drive to
Willowdale,”” according to the
Galveston News. The liveryman
looked him over.
“‘Can you drive?’’ he asked.
‘‘Sure I can. How much is it?”’
asked the drummer.
The liveryman considered,
‘I always charge $1.50 for a
drive to Willowdale,”’ he said,
- A so’clock the drummer return
ed. The horse gladly pounded his
way into the cool depths of the
stable,
The drummer handed the livery
man a $5 bill, and the latter
handed him back two silver dol
lars.
‘“Ain’t you making a mistake?’’
asked the drummer. ‘‘You said
the drive to Willowdale was
$1.50.”” The stable man grinned.
“‘So it is,”” he said. *‘‘lt’s $1.50
back—why, it’s ten miles to Wil
lowdale. Did you expect to drive
there and back for $1.50? ° You
must be a new drummer,”’
Two weeks later the drummer
returned again. The liveryman
seemed surprised to see him, |
““I want that same horse and
buggy for a drive to Willowdale,”’
he said He got in the buggy and
drove off, and the liveryman
chuckled.
‘‘Here’s where I get even with
some of them smart alecks,”’ he
said.
The drummer did not return un
til about 8 o’cleck, and the livery
‘man was worried. When he came,
he was afoot. He handed the
liveryman a silver dollar and a
half.
‘“Heve,”’ said the liveryman,
‘‘where’s my horse?”’
The drummer looked surprised.
““Why,” he said, ‘‘in Willow
dale, of course. ' I only wanted to
drive there. I came back on the
train. He is hitched in front of
the church.’

Woman’s Beauty
Some women retain their beauty to an advanced
age. But women, who regularly endure pain, age
rapidly, for suffering leaves its lasting marks on
them,.
Nearly all women suffer more or less with some
form of female trouble. It should not be neglected.
Avoid the pain—treat yourself at home by taking
Cardui, as thousands of other women have done.
Begin at once and give Cardui a fair trial.

Mrs. Katie Burlison, Goreville, Tll., tried Cardui and writes:
“T suffered with female troubles, and was go sick T could not stand
on my feet. Finally I begzan to take Cardui, and soon began to
mend. Now I am able to do all my housework and am in much
better health than I was before.” Try it.

WISDOM OF THE SOUTE.
In a recent issue the Financial
Chronicle declares that no portion
of the country has taken wiser
counsel of iteelf than the South
during the two years of depression
through which the country has
been passing. Briefly the follow
ing facts are placed to the South’s
credit:
‘lte financial Institutions have
demonstrated their capacity to
withstand a straipo.
*‘The South nas begun to recover
from some of the mistakes of ex
treme legislation relating to rail
roads.
‘‘Southern manufactories have
been building almost regardless of
the temporary check on manufac
turing enterprises.
‘‘Southern agriculture is on a se
curer financial foundation than
ever before. There are still com
paratively few farmers who are
rich, but there are many who are
well to do ”’
To which the Columbus Ledger
adds:
‘““That is a conservative state
‘ment of the condition in which the
South finds itself this spring. We
are not enjoying a boom, bat do
not want one and will not permit
one; but we are on a firm, solid
basis. Improvement is manifest
all over the Soutb, and we look
forward to better and bigger things
for our people, industry and busi
ness. When the New York Finan
cial Chronicle begins throwing
bouquets at us, we may know that
our situation is strong.”’
If money grew on trees, for some
people it would always be winter.

fellow generally makes a bad hus
band.
