CURTAILMENT ADOPTED
Cotton Mills Reduce Production 25
 Per Cent, Affecting Many Hands.

Boston, Dec. 26.-The Arkwright club, which represents the cotton mill interests of New England, at meet ing here to-day formally voted to cur tail production 25 per cent between now and March 1 in order to relieve conditions in the cloth markets Of New York, Chicago, Boston and other large centers. It was stated several days ago that a committee previously appointed by the club to canvass the situation among the mills had found sufficient sentiment to ensure the sue cess of the curtailment plan, and that restriction of production was re- garded as a certainty.
 The cotton mills of New England em- ploy about 1S5,0OO persons under nor nal conditions, and it is expected that at least 150,000 will be affected by the short time. The curtailment agreement became operative to-day, although nu- merous mills have been shut down since Tuesday.
 More than 80 per cent. of the spindleS in New England is represented in the \ agreement. The curtailment movement originated In New York commission houses which feared a congestion O goods and falling prices in the spring if the mills continued to operate in ful all winter.

VIRTUE IS ITS OWN REWARD
Louisville VIII Receive $20O,0OO Year
 ly by Closing Dives.

Louisville, Dec. 26,-An ordinance increasing the license fee for saloons in Louisville from $t5o to $500 was passed by the board of councilmen to- night and will in all probability be passed by the board of aldermen and receive the approval of the mayor next week. The ordinance had been three times laid on the table, but all the newspapers rallied to it's support and the pressure in favor of the measure became so strong that the board had to yield. It is estimated that between 150 and 200 of the smaller and less reputable saloons will be forced to close as a result of the ordinance, but that, despite this fact, net increase of $200,O00 in revenue yearly will accrue to the city.

A PROBLEM FOR THE INVENTOR.
Something Must BE Found and Found
at Once as a Papcr Substitute.

One of those things for whose pres
ent rise in price there is a real rea-
son is the wood pulp paper from
which newspapers are made, declares
the New Haven Register. The pro-
ducers of this sort of paper tell a
discouraging tale and spread out an
alarming prospect. AS most persons
know, practically all newspapers to-
day use this pulp paper, made en-
tirely frofm the spruce of our Nor
thern forests. For every week day
of the year 1,765, 900 feet of timber
is used in paper, and as all the news
papers which print Sunday editions
use more paper than on other days,
the aggregate amount used on Sun
day alone consumes all the timber
that can be cut from thousands Of
acres.
Under the conditions, il is no won
der that the price of news paper is
steadily rising. Where a year ago
it could be contracted for at two
cents a pound. the mills are now
loath to set any contract price for
dS lOHS d lllilt DIS al Ncdl. w ME III
very large quantities it may now be
obtained at slightly over that price.
its lowest quotation is two and one
half cents, and the price ranges up
to three cents a pound, with talk of
four or even six cents as a not dis
tant price.
In such a case it is easy to see
what is soon 10 become of the one
cent newspaper. There are scores
of newspapers in the country which.
even at the former prices of paper,
have daily put out editions whose
paper alone cost them considerably
more than they received out of the
one cent charged. With paper in
creased even fifty per cent. in price,
this will simply be impossible.
But this is ont the worst. Unless
the situation is exaggerated-and
the ordinary observer knows that
there is too much truth in the grow
ing dearth of timber-there is pros
pect in the not distant future of wood
pulp becoming so scarce as to pro-
hibit its use for news paper. Some
thing must be found TO take its
place, and found at once. The prob
lem for the inventor is an imperative
and immediate one.-New Haven
Register.

Bleaching Flour.

Although the uses of butter color
are we'll known, the public is not
generally aware of the existence of
-four bleaches. Certain high grade
fours are decidedly yellow when
first milled. and the yellow tint is
discernible after months of exposure
to sunlight. Therefore, the millers
resort TO electrical and chemical
methods of bleaching. for which the
manufacturers OF the processes claim
virtues of increasing the keeping
quality and the nutritive and bread
making properties of the -four. But
some OF the processes, such as bleach
ing by nitric acid, have been con-
demned as injurious TO health.
Mr.. F. J. Away, of the Nebraska
Experiment Station. has tested 100
samples of variously bleached -four,
and found, quite naturally. that it
gave the whittier loaf, but no differ
ence was discovered in texture. odor
or taste from the unbleached speci-
mems. The color Of low grades, how
ever, was more unattractive than be-
fore, while the baking test showed
that the use of more than a certaiL
proportion of nitrogen peroxide was
Objectionable. But as excessive
amounts of the bleaching agent in
jured the color. thus lowering the
market value OF the -four, Mr.. Away
concludes that there is little danger
- the public in overtreating -four by
method.-New York Times.
