ature can be regulated accurately
Sea water is poured in and the caliche
is boiled for certain time. The
liquid solution that results is drawn off
into settling watts, which are exposed
to the open air and the sun. Evapora-
tion is rapid and the pure nitrate Of
soda soon begins crystallizing and set
Ting to the bottom. After this has
gone on for some time the remaining
liquid is drawn OFF and the crust of
nitrate Is scraped from the sides and
bottom of the vat and thoroughly
dried In the sun. Then it is graded
according to quality and packed for
shipment in 10O-pound sacks.
Most of the nitrates exported is
used as a fertilizer. but a part goes
to the manufacture OF powder and
high explosives. The nitrate towns
are even barer and drier and less in
yiting than most of the other bare,
dry towns of the coast. To some OF
them fresh water is brought in pipes
from distance OF more than 100 miles.
Before the day of these pipes it used
to be sold In the streets by the gallon.
That water even now. though not
scarce, yet is not plentiful, is per-
haps some excuse for the awful dust

A New BEING.

Shepard, ILL.,, Jan. sth (Special)-
Mrs. Sarah E. Rowe, who is residing

taken Dodd's Kidney Pills, that we'll

into old bodies, and has come as a
God-send into homes of sorrow and

SUNDAY CLOSING LAW
HOW GOV. FOLK ENFORCED 1T
Saloon Keepers Of St. Louis, Kansas
City and St. Joseph Who Resisted
the Law Lost Their Licenses.

Governor Folk set about to enforce
the Sunday-closing law, which has
been on the Missouri statutes forty
years unamended. He has control of
the police boards in three first-class
cities In Missouri-kansas City, St. Jo-
seph and st. Louis-and also the con-
troll of the excise commissioners there
who have absolute power to revoke
saloon mans license at will. The Su-
preme Court has decided that the Sun
day-closing law is imperative against
every business except the saloon, and
the saloon men could not compel other
stores and shops to close because the
saloons were shut up. That weapon
was denied them. And when the order
came to close at midnight Saturday,
they closed.
The first Sunday throng of drunken
men and women crowded the St. Louis
bridge coming and going TO Illinois,
where liquor could be bought. The sec
ond Sunday the saloons closed. Then,
after the custom in such cases, a few
of them opened their back doors. Their
licenses were promptly revoked by the
excise commissioner. The throng on
the ST. Louis bridge was not SO large
that Sunday. The third Sunday
which is the sunday when Sunday-clos-
ing spasms generally cease a few
more back doors opened, and Monday
morning the keepers of those places
lost their licenses. There were u few
convictions also in court for violation
of the law. The crowd on the bridge
was gone. The people were getting
used to the law. And from that time
on st. Louis, Kansas City and st. Jo-
seph saloons have been closed on Sun
day and the excise law has been OBJ
served as well as the law against lar
ceny or against murder. And the Ger.
man-American population of St. Louis
which is supposed to be particularly
obstinate in its demand for beer, law
or no law, is larger in ST. Louis than
in any American city of its size. The
COMMUNICATIONS are there obeyine
and upholding the law. The story that
they are law-breakerS is saloon
keepers scarecrow to frighten weak
kneed politicians. Outside of ST. Louis
in st. Louis county, where the amuse-
ment parks are located, the governors
display of policemen at the Delmar
race-tracl< put the fear of the law into
the saloon-keepers and restaurant men
SO completely that the law is observed
there strictly. The hotel bars and all
drinking places are closed on Sunday
In the first-class cities of Missouri for
the first time in the history of the
state. And to-day Missouri is probably
the only state In the Union without a
dead-letter law on its statute books

Magazine.

Every housekeeper should know that
II they will buy Defiance Cold Water
Starch for laundry use they will save
not only time, because 1t never sticks
to the iron, but because each package
contains 16 Ozone full pound-while
all other Cold Water Starches are put
up in A-pound packages. ard the price
is the same, 10 cents. Then again
because Defiance Starch is free from
all injurious chemicals. If your grocer
tries to sell you a 1907. package 1t
is because he has stock on hand
which he wishes to dispose of before
he puts in Defiance. He knows that
Defiance Starch has printed on every
package in large letters and figures
"16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save
much time and money and the annoy
ance of the iron sticking. Defiance

RooSEvELT's GUIDE.
Granted Special License to Conduct a
Hunting Lodge.

t1unIln3 IoOSe.
Jacob Borah, the veteran guide OF
Colorado, who has had charge of more
than one of President Roosvelt's fam
GUS hunting expeditions In the state,
has been granted by the government a
special personal license to continue
conducting a hunting lodge at Deep
Lake, on the White River forest reser-
walton. This is the notice received by
Deputy United States District Attorney
Knaebel from the secretary of the De-
partment of Agriculture. AS a result
the proceeding brought by Mr.. Knaebel
asking that the regular license which
was secured by Borah to conduct the
lodge in the first place be cancelled
were dismissed
1t seems that Borah once sold the
place to other parties, who turned 1t
Into a questionable resort. He after
ward bought 1t back, but the forest
rangers feared he might sell 1t again
to irresponsible persons and made the
application for canceling the license.
In the letter of the secretary of agri
culture 1t is stated that the guide has
given sufficient personal assurances
that he will never again let 1t go into
other hands and would take charge of
1t in person.
The lodge has been for several years
the rendezvous of lovers of hunting
and it was through the efforts of some
of these that the government granted
Borah the privilege which he has OBJ
tanned.
When man boasts of having sown
his wild oats he never pauses to ex-
plain just what he means.

These sweepngs of the Chinese

scarcely go 10 bed at night. They

WITH THE MODERN wHALERs

Thirteen American whalers of the
San francisco fleet, operating in Beau
fort sea, to the north Of Alaska, are
frozen fast in the ice foes there"
writes P. r. McGrath to the Daily
News from Newfoundland. This
fact is occasioning no little comment
among those who know what this SIM
pie statement means. For when, In
the past. whaling vessels have been
engirt there and held for the winter,
grewsome tragedies have resulted.
Once herd of reindeer had to be
driven from Alaska to the whaling
rendezvous by American government
officials, the animals being then
slaughtered to keep the crews alive.
Another time a number of crews win
tered ashore with the natives, and the
contact with dirt and squalor gener-
ated plague from which white men
and brown men alike perished whole
sale. Tragedies equally appalling be-
fell the Atlantic whaling fleets which
usually wintered in Hudson bay and
which almost invariably met some
such misfortune until now that inland
sea is almost deserted. Scarcely
whaling vessel is found there to-day,
where once were mighty fleets. The
American whalers resorting to Hud-
son bay have been reduced to hand
full, and the British whalers have
abandoned 1t for the Greenland seas
again.
There are. however, three or four
whaling stations along the shore of
Hudson bay. In these number of
The Springfield herald., 1906-01-12

natives are employed for the purpose
Of killing whales. There are one or
two white men at each factory act
ing as overseers 10 the natives, who
are employed to kill whales, when
whales are to be found. The Eski-
mos are admirably suited to this work
They have become as expert as the
average white man and handle the
white mans weapons and manage his
boats as skilfully as he does himself.
These stations are cheaply run. Only
the smallest pay has to be given to
the natives. A single whale year
makes the station a paying venture.
A supply ship visits the station once
and landing food and other necessi-
ties.
Scotch whalers now fish chiefly
off the Greenland coast. Their ef-
forts this year promise to be more
successful than for many seasons past.
The Eclipse has been reported home
ward bound with seven fish, yielding
five and one-half tens of bone. The
Morning is reported with three; the
Balena with four the Windward with
two, the Diana. with two and the Sco-
tia with one. The principal article OF
commerce obtained from these arctic
whalers Is the famous 'whalebone,
the flexible substance in their lower
jaws which serves them for teeth,
and this is at present worth about
$4,000 ton or Sc pound. 1t can
thus be easily seen what splendid
result has been achieved by the
Eclipse for her seasons fishing"
