Geological Survey Reports on
"Secondary” Metals Recov
ered From Scraps.
By SIDNEY ESPEY.
WASHINGTON. May 29—Uncle
Rams scrap heap was worth nearly
$60,000,000 in 1914. 8his fell short of
the value for the previous year by
nearly 116,000.000.
These figures were announced in a
report by the United State Geological
Survey and represent the value of
metals, exclusive of gold, silver, plati
num. iron and steel, known technical
ly as “secondary metals.” recovered
from scrap metal, sweepings, skim
ming* and drosses. The exact value
for the last year of these metals was
placed by the survey at $57,039,706
and that for 1913 at $72,786,027, or a
decrease of $15,746,321.
These figures, however, represent
lew than one-haJf the extent of the
waste rnetal trade of the county, it
is stated. The inquiry did not cover the
volume of old Iron and steel which
Is estimated to amount to millions of
dollars, and concerned only lead, zinc,
copper, aluminum, tin and antimony.
Quality is Good.
The term “secondary metals’’ as
applied to those recovered In this
fashion, the survey explains, does not
mean that they are of Inferior qual
ity, but is used to distinguish this
class from the "primary” metals
which are derived from ore.
These “secondary metals” recov
ered can he used in whole or in part
and most foundries employ them. The
bulk of the metal waste Is contrib
uted by the manufacturing and rail
way centers. Thus when trade and
transportation are dull the produc
tion of scrap metal declines.
The business depression generally
prevailing in the country in 1914 Is
said to account for the drop in the
value of fhe scrap heap for that year.
Most of the refining and pmelting of
drosses and scrap metals in the
United States, more than 90 per cent
in fact, is done in the territory east
of the St. Louis and north of the
Ohio river.
Much Aluminum Saved. •
Secondary copper. Including that in
brass produced in 1914 totaled 127,882
tons, more than 22 per cent of the
primary copper smelted In this coun
try from domestic ores.
In aluminum the recoveries in 1914
totaled 4,522 tons, valued at $1,673,-
140.
The secondary lead recovered
amounted to 61,062 tons or more than
11 per cent of the primary refined
lead produced during the year.
A total of 71,642 tons of secondary
zinc, or more than 20 per cent of the
production of primary zinc, was re
covered during 1914
Secondary tin recoveries were 12,-
447 tons valued at $8,887,168. As no
domestic tin ore was smelted In the
United States during the year this
output is viewed by the Government
experts as of special Importance. The
secondary tin recovered was more
than 20 per cent of the metal import
ed during the year. Some tin con
centrates were exported from Nome,
Alaska, in 1914
Bachelor Tax Author Caressed by
Woman Worker Who Would
Not Take Dare.
SACRAMENTO, May 29—Maurice
B. Browne, the tall and bashful As
semblyman from Tuolumne, author of
the measure to tax all bachelors, has
Just been kissed for the first time in
his life.
He was kissed not once, but twice,
for after the first osculatory smack
had been implanted upon the bucolic
statesman's cheek, he up and took an
other.
It took place in the Assembly cham
ber toward the end of the day’s ses
sion, and in the presence of a large
group of Assemblymen and Senators,
who gathered about his desk cheer
ing Browne and his fair companion
and complimenting him upon having
crowned his legislative experience
with this new and hithterto untried
sensation.
Begin to Jolly Browne.
There nad been a caJl of the House
while proponents of the bill were try
ing to drum up enough votes to Insure
its passage, and the members were
sitting about enjoying themselves
Browne was at his desk, and Mrs. J.
E. Bell, lobbyist for the Supervisors’
Road bill, went over and took the ad
joining seat.
A lot of the members gathered
about and began to “Jolly” him about
the bachelor tax. As the conversation
went along Browne remarked that al
though he was 40 years old he had
never been kissed. Assemblyman
Avcy suggested that his fair seatmate
might show him what it was like.
“Here goes,” she replied and
Brown got his first kiss. The crowd
roared and Brow ne blushed.
And He Likes It, Too.
“How did you like it?”
“Give it back.”
“Take another," shouted various
members.
“It was all right,” said Browne,
"and 1 guess I’ll have another,” as he
put his arm about the young woman s
shoulder and drew her closer to him.
Mrs. Bell was “game” and she
kissed the Assemblyman again. Then
the Speaker’s gavel called the mem
bers to order and the “kissing bee”
was dispersed.
“I’m going to run again for the
Assembly, by heck,” declared Browne
a.s he turned again to his work.
Poison Sent in Mail
To Woman Teacher
Michigan Town Stirred by Act Fol*
lowing School Board Fight—Pos
tal Officials to Investigate.
MARQUETTE. MICH., May 29.—A
weird “poison plot” tale, such as the
Gorgias might have conceived, with
a pretty Tilden township school
teacher as the victim, is alleged by
her friends to be the sequel to a
school boaxd light which recently re
sulted in the retirement of the su
perintendent of the Tilden school sys
tem.
The pupil who brought the mail
from the Tilden postoffice handed
Mi«s Charlotte Jtussell, the teacher,
what was apparently a letter. She
opened it and found two pieces of
cardboard, between which lay a piece
of cotton batting, which w’as stained
yellow and gave forth a strange but
not unpleasant odor.
Immediatley, how f ever, the schoDl-
teacher gasped and collapsed. She be
came unconscious before other teacn-
ers could reach her. and remained In
that condition for two hours, although
two physicians attended her.
The sender of the letter successful
ly defied any attempt to trace the let
ter by hand or typewriting of the ad
dress. for it was made by clipping the
letters of her name and address from
printed matter.
The School Board announced It
would place the matter in the hands
of the postal authorities.
'Physicians who examined the piece
of cotton batting say they are not
able to determine the drug it may
have been saturated with.

Plant Kills Man
In a Fit of Hatred
PHILADELPHIA, May 29.—Blue
rockets show fear, and the deadly
nightshade is full of hatred. Both of
these are plants, but that does not
prevent them from declaring merci
less war on all animal life. The blue
rocket perfume carries one of the
deadliest of poisons. One-sixteenth of
a grain shot from its poison pistil has
proved fatal to a man.
"Give this plant the semi-muscular
system possessed by the carnivorous
plants and it would be more dangerous
than the cholera,” said Professor
Henry G. Walters, head of the plant
research bureau at Langhorne.
The professor, who maintains that
plants have memories and are capable
of love, believts also that there are
plants w'hich exercise all the emotions
of enmity.

JOPLIN, MO., May 28.—Age defied
Father Time, when William L. Miller,
gray-bearded centenarian, and Mrs.
Nancy Pike, 60, marched down the
aisle of the First M. E. Church before
200 persons ana were married by the
Rev. Charles Franklin.
This was the third matrimonial
venture for the sprightly bridegroom,
who is 101 years old. He said: “I’m
used to it.” Mrs. Miller said this was
the first time that she had ever cried
before her wedding, but then it was
happiness which caused the tears.
The aged couple were driven to the
Justice of the Peace’s office in a mo
tor car, as they wished to be married
according to modern style. However,
when the license was obtained Milder
attempted to coax the justice into
tying the nuptial knot, despite the
fact that the clergyman and people
w r ere waiting at the church.
Miller was torn in 1814, and has
been making his living here several
years by gardening. When selffng
sassafras and vegetables to Mrs Mil
ler here a* few years ago, he met her.
Not long ago when she was in the
city a friend in a joking way suggest
ed that they get married. Both fol
lowed the suggestion and a rapid-fire
courtship followed. Mrs. Miller had
been married twice before.
Both are perfectly happy. When
they were picking their wav through
a crowd at the door of the justice's
office they were smiling. Not once
did they falter, and, in climbing the
stairway, the centenarian was un
usually spry. The couple will live at
No. 1007 Bird street. Miller will con
tinue his truck gardening, but this
time to support two instead of one.

MEMPHIS, TENN., May 29.—Bear
ish news predominated In the cot
ton market during the past week, but
the moderate amount of decline In
prices seemed to indicate that the
undertone of the market was by no
means u'eak or indicative of any se
rious break in values.
The entrance of Italy into the war
has seemingly been more of a help to
those on the bear side so far than to
the bulls, although opinion is not
unanimous that it will continue so.
The large amount of cotton held in
that country awaitifig shipment to
Austria and Germany, which will
either be seized, or will be a very long
time reaching its destination, and the
disposition to sell hedges against it,
or to resell to other people, has been
credited with being a factor for low
er pri.ig.
Delay in Note Against Bulla
In one port alone there are nearly
500,000 bales of American cotton, and
most of It was thought to he en route
to countries with which Italy is now
at war.
The continuation of the uncertainty
as to the situation between this coun
try and Germany, no answer having
been given to the recent note as to
the protection to neutral shipping and
American lives, has been a factor
which mitigated against bullish suc
cess. The attack on the American
vessel on the south coast of Ireland,
presumably by a German submarine,
did not help feeling an>* and rather
strained relations a little more.
Condition Report Tuesday.
■While international politics was one
of the largest influences, there was
another of importance in the pro
gress of the new crop. Weather con
ditions have been seasonable and
many favorable advices have come,
while there was a lessening of com
plaints and the unfavorable features
were regarded as having been mini
mized. Some sectidns had more rain
than needed, and some had too little,
but generally speaking the belt fared
well and norma] progress was made.
Tuesday was the last day included
in the coming bureau report on con
dition and the Tendency has been to
raise expectations as to percentage.
It Is believed the report will show
around SO, which will compare with

It Means an Afternoon Head
ache and an Evening
of Misery.
There Is no necessity for it. The
morning droop means the afternoon
headache, the evening of misery. It
means Inefficiency in the office or In
the store—that you are worth less to
yourself or your employer.
You Know what causes that droop.
If you don’t, you ought to. It Is In
judicious mating or drinking or both; or
it may come from irregularity of habit
or lack of exercise Any one of these
may cause constipation and create toxic
poisons which attack and Injure the
vitAl organs
Stop it now. You can do it and pre
vent it In future. When you get up in
the morning take Jacobs' Liver Salt.
Just a small dose of it—one or two
teaspoonfuls—in a generous glass of
water. You will find it a bubbling,
sparkling, pleasant drink, and you can
go to work with a quick step and a
keen, active mind; whereas.
If you take calomel, it will take you
a day to get over It. There is a day
lost in addition to the undermining ef
fect of this dangerous and powerful
drug which soon must have serious and
deleterious effect upon the system.
Jacobs’ Liver Salt will do what most
needs to be done, and in the most gentle
and delightful way—no pain or griping.

CALOMEL!
DODSOH S LIVER TONE
New Discovery! Takes Place of Dangerous Calomel—It Puts Your
Liver To Work Without Making You Sick—Eat Anything—
It Can Not Salivate—Don’t Lose a Day’s Work!
I discovered a vegetable compound
that does the work of dangerous, sick
ening calomel and I want every reader
of this paper to try a bottle, and if it
doesn’t straighten you up better and
quicker than salivating calomel just go
back to the store and get your money.
I guarantee that one spoonful of Dod
son's Liver Tone will put your sluggish
liver to work and clean your thirty feet
of bowels of the sour bile and constipa
tion poison which is clogging your sys
tem and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that one spoonful of this
harmless liquid liver medicine will re
lieve the headache, biliousness, coated
tongue, ague, malaria, sour stomach or
any other distress caused by a torpid
liver as quickly as a dose of vile, nau
seating calomel, besides it will not
make you sick or keen you from a dav’s
work. I want to see a bottle of this
wonderful liver medicine in every
home in the South.
Calomel is poison—it’s mercury—it
attacks the bones, often causing rheu
matism. Calomel is dangerous. It
sickens—while my Dodson’s Liver
Tone is safe, pleasant and harmless.
Eat anything afterwards, because it
can not salivate. Give it to the chil
dren because it doesn’t upset the stom
ach or shock the liver. Take a spoon
ful to-night and wake up feeling fine
and ready for a full day’s work.
Get a bottle! Try it! If it doesn’t
do exactly what I say, tell your dealer
to hand your money back. Every drug
gist and storekeeper in the South
knows me and knows my wonderful
discovery of a medicine that takes the
place of dannerous calomeL
It takes the place of calomel with
out any restriction of habit qr diet
while taking. It positively will not
make you flick, gripe or nauseate you
In the slightest way like calomel pllli
and most all the various kinds ot
liquid liver medicines. There art
very few people In this world to-day
who feel so well that a few doses ol
this medicine would not make them
feel a great deal better and give them
a new lease on life.
It makes the eye bright, clear* up
the complexion, quickens the sensei
and is a most wonderful tonic and
appetizer.
Five or six doses will fix you m
your work will not tire you one par
ticle and you can do your work with
ten times the ease.
It will work three to four gallons oi
bile from the system that is as black
as any Ink that you ever saw coma
out of any ink bottle. We will pay
one hundred dollars reward if it
gripes a particle or makes you sick in
the slightest way.
