His system of Personal Treatment
is thoroughly scientific and immensely

several new remedies carefully select

the final result of twenty-five years of
very extensive research and great sue

Each treatment consists of cura-

ARTIFICIAL SILK SUCCEEDS
Little Silk Worm is Beaten at His
Own Game by New Process


London According to an American
now in London the silkworm has been
beaten at his own business, for by a
new invention it is claimed that arti-
fetal silk can be made cheaper than
rags.
Artificial silk SO soft and glossy that
it will deceive even experts when
woven has for some time past been
made from viscose, which is obtained
from cotton and certain kinds of wood
pulp. 1t has now been found possible,
it is claimed, by a special process to
get cellulose Can earlier stage of the
same substance) from the cotton seeds
husks, formerly thrown away or given
to the cattle for food.
The new process has been patented
and Mr.. Strong of the Cotton Oil and
Fibre company of Norfolk, Va, who is
now in London, told a reporter of the
possibilities of the discovery:
Commercially this new method of
getting cellulose is OF the utmost i'm
portance,' he said "Celulose is the
foundation not only of artificial silk,
but of gun cotton, smokeless powder,
celluloid and yulcanized fibre, so it
has been of the greatest moment to
discover the cheapest and the best
way of obtaining it.
For twenty years experiments have
been In progress and at last it has
been possible to separate the cotton
seed mechanically from the fuzZ' or
the outer husk. This part was for
merly so much waste and was thrown
away
Now, by our process the substance
is placed in a conical shaped re-
ceptacle and under pressure is forced
through a multitude of holes into
preparation of chemicals. The hair
like threads are thus formed and are
wound like silk on glass reels.
''The resulting artificial silk threads
are stronger than hairs and have the
appearance and property of real silk"

OFFICE IS SAFE
Railway Commissioner Did Not Forfeit
His Office by Not Appearing and
Being Sworn in on the 4th

After looking up the law and the
rulings of the supreme court, Attor-
ney General Thompson announced
that in his judgment Robert Cowell
did not forfeit his right to the posi-
tion on the board of railroad commits
sioners by failure to come to Lincoln
last Thursday and take the oath of
Office with his colleagues. Mr..
Thompson declares that the supreme
court has held conclusively that an
officer does not fail to qualify when he
fails to appear to take the oath Of
office at given time. Failure to
qualify means that the official has re-
fused affirmatively to take the Office.
This ruling of the court is found
in the case of Duffy against the state
in 60 Neb. S12 wherein the court re-
fused to declare a county Judge had
forfeited his Office because he did
not take his oath and file his bond at
the beginning of his term of office.
Mr.. Cowell can take his oath of Of
flee before notary public in Omaha
and send 1t to the secretary of state
or he can come to Lincoln and take
the oath. The statutes provide that
If no bond Is required by state Off
cial, he is privileged to send in the
certified statement that he has taken
the oath. Some pressure has been
brought to have Governor Sheldon ap-
point Cowel anyhow, in order to leave
no doubt as to his rightful possession
of the Office. The opinion of the at
torney general however, has quieted
the fears Of the friends Of the com
missioner.

BELFAST LAUNCH OWNERS
Should Study the Changes in Pilot Regu
lati0ns.

lati0ns.
At recent session of the board of
supervising inspectors OF steam vessels
held in the office of Inspector General
Uhler at Washington, a number of
new rules for the government of pilots
were adopted, effective July 1st. Among
the more important of the new regula-
tons are the following:
Rule 2. Steam vessels are forbidden
to use what has become technically
known among pilots as ''cross signals"
that is, answering one whistle with two
and answering two whistles with one.
In all cases and under all circumstances
a pilot receiving either of the whistle
signals provided in the rules, which for
any reason he deems iDjudicious to
comply with, instead of answering it
with cross signal, shall at once sound
the danger signal and observe the rule
applying thereto.
Rule 8. The signals for passing, by
the blowing of the whistle, shall be
given and answered by pilots in CON-
pliance with these rules, not only when
meeting head and head" or nearly so,
put at all times, when the steam vessels
are in sight of each other, when pass
ing or meeting at distance within
half mile of each other and whether
passing to the starboard or port.
The whistle signals provided in the
rules for steam vessels meeting, pass
ing, or overtaking, are never to be used
except when steamers are in sight of
each other, and the course and position
OF each can be determined in the day
time by a sight of the vessel itself, or
6y night by seeing its signal lights. In
fog, mist, falling snow and heavy rain
storms, when vessels cannot see each
other fog signals only must be given.
Rule s. When two steamers are APP
preaching each other at right angles or
oo!lquely, so as to involve risk of col
llslon other than when one steamer is
overtaklng another, the steamer which
mas the other on her port side shall
hold her course and speed; and the
steamer which has the other on her
starboard side shall keep out of the
way OF the other by directing her course
10 starboard so as to cross the stern of
the other steamer, Or, if necessary to
do SO, slacken her speed, or stop, or re-
verse. The steamer having the other
on her port bow shall blow one blast of
her whistle as signal of her intention
to cross the bow of the other, holding
her course and speed, which signal
shall be promptly answered by the
other steamer by one short blast of
her whistle as signal of her intention
to direct her course to starboard, so as
to cross the stern of the other steamer
or otherwise keep clear.
Ii from any cause whatever, the con-
ditions covered by this situation are
such as to prevent immediate compli-
ance with each others signals, the mis-
understanding Or objection shall at
once be made apparent 10y blowing the
danger signal and both steamers shall
be stopped and backed, if necessary,
until signals for passing with safety
are made and understood.
The rules apply to all vessels pro-
PEELED by machinery, whether the pow
er is steam, naphtha, gas, electrici
motor or otherwise, a nd are said to be
far-reacbing in making travel by water
absolutely safe.
