New york. March 22.-.vica .Prssi-
dent George A. Hrssey occupied the
chair at the regular meeting Of the
war Veterans and Sons Association.
held last night in room . Borough
hall. Reporting for the grievance
committee, President walterN Thorne
said that the situation at present was
unique inasmuch as the committee
had very little to report. This satis-
factory situation had been brought
about by the fact that so much work
had already been done That condition
would not have existed were It not for
what the association had done in the
past. Eternal vigilance, he pointed
out, was the price Of liberty.

he had been badly treated in the navy
yard, but 1t was understood that the
matter was about to be satisfactorily
adjusted SO that action on the part Of
the association was not necessary
Speaking OF the service pension bill.
| providing for the retention Of veterans
In the federal service, now before con-
gress he said there had been opposi-
tion TO 1t. and there was some fear i
| might be shelved. 1t was now in COM
mittee
The chairman asked If Mr.. Thorne
was aware that there was not a news
paper in Greater New York in favor
Of the bill. and this precipitated gen
eral discussion. comrade Dr. Burdicl
said that he had seen statement
published to the effect that 1t had been
suggested that the passage Of the bill
be delayed, as $4,000 Of the old veter-
ans would die off this year. $4,000 the
next and 100000 in the twelve months
three years from now.
Comrade Joseph w. Kay criticised
the newspapers for attacking men who
were already over the hill OF life and
on the decline. Congress would never
act In the matter, he said, until alarm
was thrown into one of the political
parties.

VALUE or cHlTTEM BARK.
Spectators Husy Contrasting For the
important Product.


Kaiama, March 22.-Speculators
have been very busy OF late trying
to contract for chittem. or cascara
bark. from land owners. One propo-
sitlon is to contract for all that Is
offered at from to 7 cents per pound
Of dry bark delivered at railroad or
river points. Another proposition 10
TO buy the bark on the tree at from
IL to ! cent per pound.
Chittem trees are growing scarce
and the supply viii soon be exhausted
unless some steps are taken to pre-
serve II. Owners Of land well stocked
with chittem trees should regard II as
valuable property and see that II y
not wasted. A chittem tree one foot
In diameter Is worth as much In the
forest as a fir tree four times as large.
one pound Of bark for which cents
Is offered will make one pound Of
fluid extract that sells at wholesale
for So. and the cost Of manufacture
should not exceed rs cents per pound.
The ruling price paid for the bark
for number OF years has been from
1-2 to cent per pound, which did not
more than pay for the work Of peeling
and the owner got nothing at all fol-
the bark, The demand for the bark is
very great, as 1t Is prescribed almost
daily by all regular physicians In all
countries of the civilized world. be-
sides being an active ingredient in
great many patent medicines. The
worlds supply must come from the
Pacific coast, as it does not grow any
where else.
The bark is not used for two years
after It is removed from the trees. as
the new bark contains a ferment that
renders its action harsh. which is
much modified by the curing process.
On that account the bark can be safe
ly held for higher price. it only being
necessary to keep 1t in q dry place.
