Iowuns Plan to Use Waste Product
 For Manufacture of Paper.

St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 All Iowa is intekested in the plan nf turning the waste products of tho cornfelds of the western corn produce ing States into paper, and paper of such quality that It will compare favorably with the famous Japanese vellum. w R. Patterson, professor of economies and statistics of the State university of Iowa. investigated the process of the National Fiber and Cef1ulose Com pany while in Chicago in the interests of the commercial museum Of the uni- vcrsity.
 Just common, ordinary cornstalks, 5S,000.00 tons of which are allowed to rot yearly In seven western States pro- ducing the greatest amount of corn. Is
 the material from which, experlmental- ly, the company has already produced excellent paper at cost ranging from $24 to S25 per ton. The cost of
 manufacturing paper from wood pulp or rags is estimated at from $50 to
 S75 per ton.
 over $100,000 has been spent in tho perfection of machinery for the hand ling of this material. An improved
 thrashing machine which separates the stalk from the leaves. husks the ears,
 delivers the stalks bound in bundles
 ready for shipment and the parts of
 the plant vaiuahle for stock food into
 the barn has cEly recently been pat
 ented. These bundles of cornstalks arc
 then shipped to depithing plant.
 where after passing through several operations the pith is separated from the hard fiber surrounding the stalk
 and rcasSd, making an excellent qual-
 ity of paper. The hard outside fiber
 is used in the manufacture of box
 board
 The company has an opAsn on a pa- per mill at Kankakee, ILL, where the
 machines have been operating success
 fully Every vestige of the stalk is
 utilized in some manner. In prepar- ing Sceliulose, gnncotton. smokeless

 and sundry other products different

 The development of this industry will
 mean much to the corn producer of

physician. Dr. F. J. Wilson. issued a statement to-day. declaring;
 'The governors mind was never stronger than it is to-day. It Is keen and alert. There Is not the slightest indication of softening of the brain or any such nervous afiliction that effects the mind"
 He also specially denied the revived stories of Brights disease and lung trouble.
 The rumors started from the demand of attorneys interested in a requisi- ton case who wished positive evidence as to the governors ability to siga official documents. His secretary stated the governor had signed the papers. but his physician was called and asked If the governor was physi- cally and mentally able to do so. Tho trend of the inquiry was keenly re- scented by Gov. Pattisen's friends. pr. Wilson states that he is steadily re- gaining hls health and is able Go at- tend to offical duties at his home.

 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. .rinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables, Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in/ the stomach and bowels: 1t disinfectS the mouth and throat from the poison of eatarrh.

tourney there were several day stages of over thirty miles in length. and we counted ourselves happy, not only that the stages were so short but even more that we never failed to find water. The track we travelled had been called locally a road of death. and 1t has justified it's name by tho long tale of bushmen, travelling alone, who have perished nearly from thirst. The man ner in which these meet their death is probably distressingly simple. The waterhoIe relied upon Is dry, the real track last of these disasters is the most common. When a camp Is made at night the horses, are duly watered, hobbled, and turned out to pick ep meal for themselves. They usually feed back along the road ywhlch they came and 1t Is surprising how far a hobbled horse can travel by little leaps through the night At earliest daybreak the buahman sets out to ma the horses. Wonderfully quick In eye and ear, he can see the fatnest track and hear the softest sound. But some morning there Is no track to see, and on sound to hear, and then he wanders farther and farther in his search, until the bush swallows him up. He decides to return to his camp to make fresh start, but cannot find his trail, the trees are all alike, and there are no natural landmarks. Suuddnly the hor-
  hurries forward with a dreadful in- clination towards the right or the left. upon the circular track which ends in death This is no imaginary case. It Is one that is repeated over and over agoin.
 one of the most beautiful adjunets of the western plain is the mirate' which seldom decetves real bushman unless he Is looking for water ne knows is not far away. In North Queensland tho mirage most frequently takes the shape of a lake lying. without a ripple in the sunshine. The trees real trees--are seen inverted In the hot. layer of air next the ground, as clearly as F'riar's crag is seen renect- ed In the still bosom of Derment-wa- ter.
