The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1904-01-02

The Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany has decided to build an i'm
mense modern steel plant, for the
manufacture of structural iron, at
South Altoona, Pa, where its new
foundry plants are already under
construction. Preliminary plans
for the steel plant contemplate a
force OF not less than 1900 men,
with sufficient capacity to turn out
all the structural steel needed for
bridge work and the superstruc-
lures OF stations, etc. The new
plant is to be begun in the spring
and rushed to completion. Among
the first products will be the steel
necessary for the proposed North
river tunnel from Jersey City to
New York.

CONSUMPTION OF JEwELRY.
what Becomes of Good Watches ana
other Articles of Value is SOme-
thing of n Mystery.

A periodical devoted to the jewelry
trade tries to account for the continued
sale of certain lines of merchandise. AS
cheap plated stuff Is thrown away as
soon as the coating wears off, one can
understand why such articles disap-
pear. Rings, pins, and other objects OF
real value, as we'll as jewelry, may be
lost, of course, but they don't wear out.
They last a lifetime wing to change
in style, possibly they may be laid aside,
but this does not happen often.
Perhaps the most puZzling phase or
the question is the demand for watches
and watch movements. This Is encour-
aged by tho fact that a really good time
keeper in a nickel case can be bought
for IS or $40, yet the number Of watches
sold increases much faster than the pop
ulation. Where do all these go? So
durable are the old watches that thou
sands which have been in service for
nearly lifetime may be seen still in use.
A Pittsburg dealer said the other day:
"The railroad man is about as fair an
example as you can find. While his case
is only an ordinary one his watch move
ment is usually good, and In mahy In
stances his children earn their own
watch before he is in position to pass
1t to the heir The majority OF watches
are kept the same way. and what be-
comes of them is more than the average
dealer can tell"

FLOUR AND THE TEETH.
Finer the Flour, Poorer the brend,
Worse the Teeth and Better

A valuable letter from correspond
ent drew attention to an important and
admitted cause of the national degen-
Grafton of physique which we have
striven to emphasize in these columns.
says the London Chronicle. The roller
mill has Individually diminished the
dietetic value of our bread. The entire
wheat grain is of value; the husk (Which

brown exterior, and the white central
core. Except for certain invalids, white
bread is an indefensible absurdity. Bet
ter is brown bread, consisting of all but
the huslS, and best is whole meal

The deficiency of salts in white bread

Thomas Lauder Brunton. why has
America the cleverest dentists?" An
swer: Because she has the best -four

finer the -four, the poorer the bread, the
worse the teeth, and the better the dem
