CARE FOR EMPLOYEES.
Plan Which Large Manufacturer Found
Successful.

The question. What is to become of the
old MANI" is one that is frequently dis
cussed. Generally it is meant to apply to
ficient money to support them in their de-
clining years, and whose economic eff
cheney has become impaired by the pass
ing of years. To be dependent upon their
children or relatives is humiliation that
would embitter that part of their lives
which should be free from care The
almshouse is a horror of degradation from
which they shrink. In some countries the
governments have endeavored to solve
the problem by system, Of labor pen
sions. This is done in Germany, but de-
spite its merits. it still savors of char
ity or paternalism.
A few individuals have sought for a
solution in this country. In at least one
community the employer of thousand
men insures the lives of all his workmen
up to $4,000. and after twenty-five years of
continuous service an employee may retire
and continue to draw full wages. as long
as he lives. To do this the employer says
that 1t costs him not over one per cent
OF his wages account, which he regards
as the cheapest possible insurance against
strikes and against the disturbance
caused by constantly changing his work
ing force. He puts by every year that
small percentage of his profits to the ac-
count OF wear and tear upon labor. just
as ne does larger percentage to the ac-
count OF wear and tear upon machinery
He is an earnest advocate of a national
labor pension and insurance system. not
by the government. but by an association
of employers.

4 Good Work.

The Division of Chemistry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has undertaken, by direction of
Congress, a practical and valuable
work in investigating the character and
extent of the adulteration of foods and
drugs. There is a general belief that
adulteration, sophistication, imitation
and mis-branding of foods and drugs
exist to a very great extent. Many Of
the states have enacted laws to prevent
such practices, and the department is
anxious to know how rigidly they have
been enforced, and with what results.
This is a matter in which the public
generally should be interested, and no
effort should be spared to detect and
punish individuals or firms who, for the
sake of little additional profit, impose
adurterated articles of merchandise in
foods or drugs upon the public.
Health, morals and legitimate trade
are all involved in the maintenance Of
a high standard of purity in the food
and drug supply of the community
In making a thorough investigation
of this whole matter, the chemistry
division of the agricultural department
will perform great public service, and
merit the hearty cooperation and en-
| couragement of all good citizens.
Any of our readers who may have
data bearing upon this matter, should
communicate the same to H. A. We'd
derburn, the special agent of the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton, D. c., who has charge, of this in
vestigation.

during that time During the palmy
days of the old South when cotton
was king" the cotton seed was thrown
away as a waste product. Since then,
two valuable articles of commerce
have been made from them, and the
world has reaped the immense bene-
fits accrung from the reduction in the
price of raw cotton due, in very large
degree, to the revenues derived from
these two valuable bi-products.
Now comes the report of another dis
covery in the utilization of waste pro-
ducts, which if reports be true, seems
destined to play prominent part. in
large and important branch of indus
try. Mr.. Jefferson Chase of Portland,
is said to have invented process, by
which, from the leather dust and fine
scraps. that accumulate in shoe fac
tories, he is able to produce a fibreized
leather which, it is claiMed, is actually
firmer and more durable than was the
original product. A full description of
this discovery, as exhibited to a Port
land Argus reporter, is given elsewhere
in this issue.
While many important discoveries
have been made in the utilization of
waste products, there is reason to be-
lieve that this great field of discovery
is as yet only in the first stages of de-
velopment, and certainly no other Of
fers a more promising field for patient
investigation and inventive skill.

would be the height of folly for great
people to supinely pin their faith to

By all means let our citizen soldiers

their influence and example will be
productive of more practical results
than can possibly be secured in a

The Utilization Of Waste Products.

One of the most promising fields of
future industrial progress is that
which looks to the practical utilization
of present waste products. Already
methods have been perfected for the
conversion of materials formerly
thrown away as worthless, into arti-
cles of commercial value and import
ance. In this wide field of research
and experiment much has been accom-
day passes that does not bring the an
nouncement of some new and valuable
discovery in it.
Undoubtedly enough material is lost
under the present extravagant methods
of production, to clothe, warm, and
nourish the greater part of our popu-
lation. The discovery of methods
therefore, by which present waste prod
ucts may be utilized to the practical
benefit of mankind is an important
step in a progressive civilization.
Doubtless instances where much has
been accomplished along this line will
occur to most of our readers, and we
need only refer to several of the more
some months ago, a reference in these
columns, to an experiment about to be
tried in the use of spark arresters" on
the steam locomotives. of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road. 1t was believed that in the es-
cape of these sparks" "a valuable
famount of fuel. was lost. It Will be in
teresting to know that this opinion has
been fully borne out by the results thus
far obtained.
At the Stamford electric power house
sparks have been used exclusively as
fuel for almost II months, and at the
Nantasket and Berlin power houses
about two months. At Stamford, dur
of three mills per horse power hour for
sparks with an engine running at un-
equal loads" A test made with an en-
CINE running with normal load gave
cost per horse power hour of 2-1O
mills for coal (soft) and $40 mills for
sparks. At the Nantasket power sta
ton, running the engine with variable
| loads, the cost has been 2-1O mills for
| sparks. At the Berlin power station
which operates the third rail between
| that place and New Britain and for
about 10 miles between the latter city
l. and Hartford-with the engine running
at about one-third the normal load, the
| figures have been six mills for coal and
| three mills for sparks. The figures are
| based on a cost at the power stations
| of So per ton for coal and ~ cents ton
| for sparks, two tons of the latter being
| about equal in heat efficiency to one
| ton of coal. The Stamford power sta
| ton has consumed about IS tons of
| sparks per day.

difficult indeed to estimate the i'm

so that it had the appearance of peep
