DANGER OF Colds and Grin.

The greatest danger from colds and
grip is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy talk
en-, all danger will be avoided. Among
the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy for these diseases we have
yet to- learn of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that it is a certain pre-
ventive of that dangerous disease. 1t
will cure cold or an attack of the
grip in less time than any other
treatment. 1t is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by all druggists.

police station from the census bureau
at Washington. y. C., asking informa-
ton on the local fire alarm and police
patrol systems. w. M. Stewart,

now collecting statistics concerning
this class of municipal equipment.
The collected statistics will be of
value to officers of municipalities as
well as of interest to the general
public. as these systems constitute an
feature in the development
of the use of electricity. The ques-
tons asked cover the matters in re-
gard to the time of installation, man

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
OF NEW GYPSUM FIELDS

According to notices sent out by
the United States Geological survey,
the gypsum deposits of the United
States will be described in forth
coming bulletin of that department
which is in preparation by George L.
Adams. The development and the i'm
portance of the industry in the east
ern part of the United States are
fully recognized and described, but
it is as showing the vast extent of
this mineral resource in the south
western states that the publication
promises to be of special interest.
The belt of country extending from
Iowa through Kansas and Ol<lamoha,
and into Texas, includes the plants
which produce large part of the out
put west of the Mississippi river. The
deposits in these states are not only
practically inexhaustible, but the
quality of the mineral and the posi-
ton of the beds with respect to rail-
way transportation make it possible
for them to supply the markets of
large territory.
The gypsum is used principally for
wall plaster, and the most important
markets are the large cities in which
modern buildings are being con-
structed. Gypsum plaster is largely
displacing lime mortar as wall finish.
Not only is it found to be more suit
able and durible, but its strength and
hardness, and the fact that construc-
ton can be completed more quickly
when it is used, have brought it into
favor.
In the Rocky Mountain states and
and the region westward to the Pa
cific coast. the gypsum industry is in
its infancy. There are plants in
Montana in the Black Hills of South
Dakota, in Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico. Utah. Nevada, California and
Oregon. Some of them nave a large
capacity, and their product is finding
a ready market. This is more particu-
larly true of those which supply the
larger cities. The deposits are well
distributed in these states, and the
character of the gypsum is such that
they can meet any requirements OF
the trade No doubt the industry Will
advance with the growth of the
country. and when the value of gyp-
sum plaster is better appreciated it
will displace the lime and sand plas-
ter in these states, as it is doing in
the east.
Formerly gypsum was imported into
California from Mexico. The develop
ment of the deposits on the coast
makes this no longer necessary. The
imported material was used princip- |
ally as wall plaster, but the high |
grade grade of the home product and
the fact that it is advantageously |
situated with respect to railroad IA
cilities have crowded the Mexican
out of the market
In the western states there is little |
need of gypsum as fertilizer. since |
the soil is naturally rich, and has not |
been impoverished by long cultivation.
Where there is black alkali in the soil, |
however, or where this alkali has de- |
veloped as a result of irrigation, gyp- |
sum is applied to neutralize it, and it |
is found to be effectual. Fortunately |
in most cases, gypsum beds are found |
there in the areas in which there
is a demand for this purpose, and
their great value in reclaiming the
soil is rapidly coming to be recOg-
nized.
