Concrete Gaining Favor
For Building.

While lumber is still, and will
be for many years to come, the
chief building material for the
construction of buildings outside
the FIRE limits in the cities, there
is always a search for something
that will do as we'll, and which
can be procured at less expense
if possible. 1t is not true that
the cost of lumber has advanced
any more than the values of 9TH
er things in the past few years,
but there is a popular prejudice
to that effect, and the results are
something the same as though it
were true. The retail prices have
not advanced as much as the
wholesale prices, principally be-
cause they did not fall as much
during the hard times, and hence
the retailers are not making as
large a margin on what they sell

LEARN TO SWIM.
Everyone Should Make tia
Point to Learn.

Scores of persons drowned
from the Slocum within a few
feet of shore. Dozens died in the
water for lack of courage TO
stand upon their feet and wade
out to safety. Strange that man
of all the animals is most help
less in the water, and stranger
that as an adult he exhibits less
capacity for self preservation in
it than does the infant. Falling
in the water and strangling
slightly, the heightened adult
throws his arm into the air and
sinks out of sight. Plunge year
old babe into the water and he
will right himself and strike out
dog fashion with both hands,
swimming.
Immersed IN water, the body
of an average man weighs one
pound. Ifhe keeps his mouth
closed and his breath shut off he
will float, head up, to the line OF
MS eyes. Just how little addi-
tional effort there would be to
keep his nose out of water is APP
parent. In thousands of emer-
gencies a person need only to
keep afloat for few minutes in
in order to be rescued.
But freight and shock and chill
rob man of this power unless he
be trained to the bouyancy of
water. In the opening of the
bathing season just at hand, no
vacation resolve should be more
closely adhered to and carried
out than the resolve of a person
to learn to swim. 1t may mean
life to himself because of the
knowledge; it may be life to 9th
ers. In any degree of efficiency
at swimming there is pleasure
and recreation, while In an emer-
gency it is more than an art. 1t
should be the duty of every adult
to learn to swim, If a suitable
body of water is at hand.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

The fact of the matter is that
the action of the Republican Ma
tional convention puts an alto
gerher different complexion on
the La Toilette proposition. La
Toilette lost thousands OF follow
ers upon the third term PROPOSE
ton, but the loss thus occas-
stoned will be insignificant when
compared with ne losses he will
sustain by reason of thc t2ct that
he has publicly announced his
withdrawal from the Republican
party, for his declaration that he
proposes 20 appeal from the de-
cision of the national convention
can be construed as nothing else.

The word orphan" occurred IN
the Sunday school lesson. Miss
Ida V. Stamps asked if any of
the little boys in the class knew
what an orphan was. There was
no response. Thinking to help
the little fellows to search out
the right answer, Miss Stamps,
the teacher. said,-
why, children, I'm an or
phan; now, can't you tell me
what an orphan is!
Up went the hand of a little
boy.
"All right, Johnnie, said the
teacher, that's a good boy. You
tell US what an orphan IS"

fellow, without the slightest hint
of a smile and deep earnestnesss,

The only reply that La Toilette
will make when approached upon
the subject of holding a third

as they were ten years ago. For
this reason they are becoming in
terested in other building mater
ials, on which there is a better
profit, and in turn they are en-
deavoring to interest their Gus
toners.
One of the best substitutes for
lumber as we'll as one of the
cheapest to put on the market is
concrete. 1t has added value of
being fre-proof. The principal
ingredient of concrete blocks is
sand, and sand can be secured
most anywhere. The hre-proof
feature is doing more for this
form of construction than any
other argument. Recent great
conhagations have emphasized
the necessity for the use of some
material that will resist fire, es-
pecially in city building, and con-
crete blocks appear to fill the bill
the best of anything now on the
market. Its use for residence
building, outside of foundations,
has not become very general as
yet, but things are moving in
that direction, and before many
years houses built of concrete
blocks will be comparatively
common.
Terra Gotta was the first step
away from the use of wood for
many parts of the construction
of buildings, but it appears that
the terra Gotta manufacturers
are themselves beginning to sub
stitute concrete, by substituting
thinner tile in floor arches so as
to leave more room for heavier
deposite of Portland cement,
which is the cohesive ingredient
of concrete blocks. In many of
the large buildings now being
erected, concrete covering for the
steel columns is being used in
stead of brick which superseded
the use of terra Gotta, and is
proving a better protection
against corrosion. The next step
will be the use of concrete for
floor construction. This is al
ready done to some extent, but
not as commonly as it will be IN
the near future. From use as a
principal part Of large buildings,
where 6reproo6ng is demanded,
it will spread to the residencesec
tons of the cities, and to the
country towns. The builders IN
the town are becomingintere
is evidenced by the increased sale
of outfit for the manufacture of
concrete blocks. The allure
ments held out by the manufac-
turers of these outfits, in the
shape of the possibilities for pro-
fit, are bearing fruit, and it will
not be long before every town
will boast of at least one plant
for the manufacture of this build
ing material. The retail lumber
man is the natural dealer in this,
and should look we'll to the pos
sibilities for trade IN concrete
building blocks, and at the same
time see that he has the best that
can be secured. An outfit that
will enable him to make these
blocks in attractive form is not
expensive, when the percentage
oil profit is taken into the reckon
ing, and as an adjunct to a lum-
Der yard it will prove a wise ex-
penditure of money.-Mississippi
Valley Lumberman.

Weeds Used in Medicine.

of Agriculture has just issued
Farmers Bulletin No. 1873, en-
titled Weeds Used in Medicine. "
The bulletin was prepared by
Alice Henkel, Assistant in Drug
and Medicinal Plant Investiga-
tons, Botanical Investigations
and Experiments, Bureau of
Plant Industry.
Attention is called to the fact
that certain well-known weeds
now either generally or locally
inlesting the country are the
sources of crude drugs at the
present time obtained wholly or
in part by Importation from
abroad. Roots, leaves, AMI
flowers of several of the species
most detrimental in the United
States are gathered, prepared,
and cured in Europe and not
only form useful commodities
there, but supply to a consider
able extent the demands of for
eign lands. Hence it appears
probable that while weeds can
hardly be made desirable, still in
his fight to exterminate them the
farmer may be able to turn some
of them to account. Some Of the
plants coming within this class
are in many states at present
subject to anti-weed laws, and
farmers are requi1 ed to take
measures toward their extermi-
nation. 1t seems, therefore, de-
sirable to make these pests sour
ces of profit where possible.
The prices paid for crude drugs
from these sources are not great
and would rarely tempt anyone
to pursue this line of work as a
business. Yet, if in Kidding the
farm of weeds, and thus raising
the value of the land, the farmer
can at the same time make these
pests the source of a small income
instead of a dead loss, something
is gained.
In order to help the farmers to
obtain the best possible results
for such products, instructions
for collecting and preparing crude
drugs from weeds are briefly
given.
The plants mentioned in the
bulletin are burdock, dandelion,
the docks, couch grass, and poke
weed principally root drugs j;
foxglove, mullen, lobelia, tansy,
gum plant, scaly grindelia, bone
set, catnip, hoarhound, yarrow,
fleabone, blessed thistle, Unison
weed, and poison hemlock (of
which either the leaves, flowers,
herb, or seeds are used in medi-
cine); and also wormseed, and
black and white mustards, OF
which only the seeds are used.
Descriptions of these plants are
given, together with Uncommon
names BY which they are known
in different localities, the habitat
Cor, in other words, the kinds of
places or soils in which they are
likely to be found), their geo.
graphical range, information as
to the parts to be collected, their
uses, the extent to which they
are imported, and the prices us
ually paid by dealers.
The principal uses for which
these plants are employed in
medicine are briefly indicated,
but notice is given that none of
the drugs mentioned should be
taken without the advice of a
physician.
Suggestions are also given rela-
tive to the manner of disposing
of the crude drugs and of pack
ing and shipping them.
The bulletin contains 81 illus
trations of the weeds described.
1t is for free distribr ion and can
be obtained on application to
Senators, Representatives, and
Delegates in Congress, or to the
