THE QUEER LOT
is REINFORCED

Editor Advertiser-Not long since an
acquaintance, a layman, expressed the
view that the eminent physicians and
scientists that have had the privilege
of quoting for years past in your jour-
nal were "a queer lot" 1 have yet
another of that kind, not however
this time physician but a naval Off
Ger who in the past few weeks address
ed a letter to King Edward asking if
he might issue an order stating that
His Majesty did not consider it neces-
sary that when his health was given,
it should be drunk in wine. The
Kings secretary replied that His Maj
esty thought the Lords of the Admir-
atty would not like his interference by
issuing orders, but he would be glad
if it was circulated privately that His
Majesty considered that his health was
as much honored by those who drank
it in water as by those who drank it in
wine''. Swift on the heels of this
announcement comes word from Ger
many that Count Won Haeseler, lately
commander of the sixteenth army
corps, has issued a strong protest
against the use of intoxicants. He
says: 1.-The soldier who obstains alto
gether is the best man. He can ac-
complish more, march better and is a
better soldier than the man who drinks
even moderately. Mentally and phys
icaIly he is better

separating the outside material from
the fiber, but it's reagents were found
to be water at about 30 degrees c.,
which softens the material so that
washing in flowing water and comb
ing the straight fiber will remove prac-
tfcally all the material surrounding the
fiber. The nature of this material has
not been definitely determined, but it
is little affected either by hydro
chloric acid or by yeast. 1t is prob
ably a gum or non-fermentable adhe-
sive carbohydrate. The material which
was treated is enclosed herewith TO
show the success we had with it. The
sample has been over-retted and con-
sequently somewhat weakened and
darkened. Retting from Is to 20 days
will probably so loosen the fiber that
the outside material may be removed
by conf ing the straight fiber in run
ming water.

.OLONA NOT
GOOD FIBRE
An Official Report
Made by an
Expert.
Old Natives Used 1t
for Fish Nets and
Lines.
Department Of Agriculture Ex-
perts Say 1t is Worthless
for Manufacture.

Olona fibre is of no value CONNER
cially according to a report received
Director Jared G. Smith of the United
States Experiment Station.
The oIona fibre grows wild in the
OIaa district on Hawaii and many
years ago was believed to be very val
liable. The difficulty has always been
in obtaining a suitable mechanical ex-
tractor and the Department finds this
to be hopeless. The sample of specimen
of fibre obtained from the material
sent by Director Smith was sent back,
and is apparently of little value. 1t
appears to be very fine but has little
strength.
The Olona is a native name for a
Hawaiian plant which was much used
in years gone by for the manufacture
of fish lines and nets. These were of
course made by hand, and the fibre
was extracted through the same primi-
tive methods In the seventies the
fibre was exported to Switzerland
where it was sold to Swiss Alpine clubs
1t being much in demand because of
its light weight and great strength.
The sample obtained by the govern
plent Agricultural Department though
of light weight is not of great strength.
The letter received by Mr.. Smith
from Lyster H. Dewey, the botanist in
charge of fibre plants, contains also a
communication from the chemistry
bureau where tests were made of the
fibre. Mr.. Dewey aeo says he is glad
to learn that the sisal industry is be-
coming we'll established in Hawaii.
The Two letters are as follows:
1 am forwarding to you herewith a
copy of a report of the Bureau OF
Chemistry on Investigations which
they made at my request in regard to
methods for extracting the olona fiber.
When submitting the specimens, 1
asked especially to have the nature of
the gum determined if possible. Their
report indicates that water-retting az
pears to be the most practicable meth
cd for dissolving the gum. fear that
water-retting is improbable from a
commercial standpoint. l forward to
you herewith the specimen of fiber
which they obtained. Fiber of this
character would have no value for any
manufactures so far as 1 am aware.

but it is unnecessary now that the
trusts own the roads.
Most of the roads have for some
time been opposed strongly to the re-
bate system at competitive points. It
necessitated cutting rates in order to
get business, and the companies were
finally forced to form mergers to do
away with it and get full rates. No
wonder that the railroads are perfect
ly satisfied with the Elkins bill.
But where do the people come in?
Is there any provision for lowering
rates 50 as to benefit the producer and
the consumer? None. Those classes
were not consulted. Most of them
vote the straight party ticket anyway,
and have no influence in politics.
The railroads had to be consulted, be-
cause they have a habit of being in
dependent of party lines and of n .
warding friends and Furnishing enemies
in official positions.
But it is hoped that this bill, so
satisfactory to the railroads, shall be
able to masquera 1e among the people
an an antitrust measure, and thus
lull the people to sleep for while.

LOndOn's Unemployed.

When Intercepted lately in the house
Of commons Mr.. Balfour said that he
had no evidence to show that there was
any unusual amount of distress in Lon
don or the provinces. To convince him
of his error Keir Hardie, the labor
member, wrote to the Times and gave
some figures that were. not pleasant

cent year ago. These figures refer to
men in receipt of out Of work pay and
have nothing to do with men on strikes
or lockouts, and. furthermore, refer
only to skilled workmen. Mr.. Hardie
assumes that out of the $4,000, 900
wage earners in Great Britain 10000
600 are engaged in occupations which
will yield at present an average of 5
per cent (50O,00O) workers without em-

Takes Exception to Schurman.

WEST CONCORD, Feb. 3, 1908.
WILLMAR TRIBUNE:
AS an American I must protest
against such rot for it is nothing else,
as Jacob Gould Schurman said in
your last issue unless he uses himself
as the intellectual standard with
which to compare Europeans.
How very shallow he is as q thinker
can readily be seen, when he accepts
the "domain of politics and inven-
tions," his quotation, bad grammar
and all, for these two are the control
ling forces of all people.
How about Elizabeth Cady Stanton?
Nobody accept Francis Bacon ever
achieved as much for mankind, and
his work at his death was insignif-
cant in its result compared with hers.
Where has Europe produced so in
cisive aud analytical mind as that of
Ralph Waldo Emerson?
Where greater rhetori ,ian than
Theodore Parker?
Where a greater physical philoso-
pher than Benjamin Franklin?
It would puzzle him to name three
greater theologians than Edwards,
Emmons and Hopkinson, ever pro-
duced in all Europe.
AS to "Generals -
Where may the weary eye repose
When gazing on the great,
Where neither guilty glory CLOVIS,
Or despicable state:
Yes! One, the tirst the last, the best
The Cincinnatus of the west.
Bequeathed the name of Washington,

sings Byron.
No matter what the position Schur-
man holds, such squibs are a dis
grace to the Institution he represents,
as it shows he either lacks perceptive
power, or has insufficient reason to
make proper deductions from what he
does know.
One thing is certain if such asses as
Schurman presides over American
schools what he says of our inferiori-
ty as to letters, etc. - will become
true. a, f. BALL.

EVOLUTION IN DRINK.

Some Interesting Remarks From the
Lips of a Bartender.
A writer in the Philadelphia Record
quotes a bartender as giving utterance
to the following remarks:
'The evolution Of a drunkard may
not be pleasing subject to contem-
plate, but it possesses it's elements Of
interest nevertheless. AS a general
thing a man goes from bad to worse,
and when spirituous liquors lose their
potent force he drinks clear alcohol.
Jamaica ginger, bay rum or anything
that will burn him up as it goes down.
After that he takes to the needle. and
the morphine finishes him.
"But occasionally you will find men,
especially in the theatrical profession,
who take another course. After the
whisky diet pals on them they grad
uate to brandy, first with soda and
then neat. When brandy no longer
gives them the desired effect, they
switch to ale, and that seems to wind
them up, strange as it may seem.
1.-THE ale drunkard sinks lower than
even the gin drinker. OF course, you
remember old -, the comedian. Well,
he gravitated to ale. Just before he
died they took him down to Hot
Springs, Ark. The morning after he
arrived they found him stretched
across the bed of his room in a stupor
with twenty-eight empty ale bottles
surrounding him. He didn't last long
after that

AN ODD DISCOVERY.
French Scientist Says He Can Render
Alcoholic Drinks Harmless.


The French scientist DR.. Pitoy in an
article just published holds out hopes
that the difficulty of providing a salts
factory temperance drink has at last
been solved and this not by new bev-
erage, but by a series of new drinks,
every wine, beer and spirit now used
being provided with a nonalcoholic un-
derstudy.
1t has hitherto been accepted as a
commonplace that there is no fermenta
ton without alcohol. From time i'm
memorial beers, wines, etc., have under
gone this process through the action Of
some sort of yeast, the effect of which
has been to decompose sugar or glucose
into carbonic acid and alcohol.
DR.. Pitoy set himself about to destroy
this theory, and he now claims that he
has discovered that the mysterious fer
mentations are the work of certain mi.
GRO organisms which he has succeeded
in isolating and providing with a sep
arate existence. This new birth, on be.
ing introduced into the liquid tobe fer
mented, fattens and swells to the burst
ing point. The result is sort of fire.
works display induced by the absorb
ton Of carbonic acid, each point of
which, as it is thrown off, becomes in
its turn an active cell.
BY this means the balls are kept roll
Ing, so to speak, till the process Of ex-
haustion supervenes and fermentation
Is complete. It is claimed this method,
instead Of decomposing glucose in the
proportions of one part of carbonic acid
to two of alcohol, as by the old proceed
Ing, causes the latter two parts to as
sumo the form Of nonalcoholic SUBJ
stance. 1t is therefore inferred that
beers, wines, etc., submitted to the new
fermentation will emerge as temper
ance beverages.
