The most eminent medical scientists

the generally accepted Limitation OF
human life Is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge OF which the race Is now

the Cinnamon had divided the

out Of the fiber Of the wood
after IL had been put through
the process Of distillation.
BY doing this every particle
of the by products of the
large lumber mills will be
utilized. Tests have shown
that this wood fiber makes "a
iirst-class board pulp and
that the bOxboards can be
manufactured from IL ut "a
profit of about So per ton.
When these two plants are
in operation every part OF the
pine tree will be converted
into commercial products.
There has heretofore been u
great waste of materials. as
much inferior lumber and all
the trimmingsha had To bcLhrown
away by the mills. The slabs
and worthless lumber will
produce large quantities of
wood Alcohol. and when the
extracting process is com
pletcd the pulp will bc put
through the necessary machin-
cry Ia press IL into thin box
lumber. These compressed
boards are excellent material
for making various kinds of
boxes.
The new box factory will
consume thirty tons of pulp
pSr day. The slabs will be-
furnished to the distilling
plant by the sawmills here.
The lumber interests are
awaiting the results of this
new industry, and If they
prove rs successful rs is now
claimed for then other similar
plants will la established in
the lumber region of east
Texas.
The alcohol distilling plant
was erected and placed in
operation more than Il year
ago. At that time Il paper
mill was established, to be
operated in connection with
the plant. IL was found, how
ever, that the paper mill could
not use the fiber, and il shut
down. This led TO other eX-
p%eriments beiTg made, with
the result that il was found
that the pulp could be convert
ed in;o boxboard.

Labors's Share in Prosperity

Last week The Companion
printed an editorial concern
ing the remarkable and varied
prosperity with which, in the
year Just ended, the farmers
of the United States were
blessed.
The rapidly with which
good times spread from the
farm u the factory and the
railroad and the bank is "a
matter Of common knowledge,
yet IL IS always interesting 20
note. Some facts and figures
gathered during the closing
months Of 1906 are powerful
witnesses TO the present wide
and impartial distribution Of
prosperity.
During the last quarter of
tine year about one hundred
million dollars were added TO
the wages of railroad men.
Nearly every railroad in the
East ond many in the West
advanced the wages of their
men from five To ten per cent.
On one Of the greatest of the
roads the ten per cent nd.
vance in wages means an an.
nual outlay of twelve million
dollars, and is the second ten
per cent increase in four
years.
The great manufacturing
industries also distributed
Christmas presents. The
United States Steel Corpora
tion gave each of its seventy
thousand general laborcrs,
unsolicited, I'm advance Of ten
cents a day, and renewed the
opportunity To men in the en-
ploy Of the company Ia buy
stock in the corporation be.
low the market price. Last
year twelve thousand men ac-
copied this offer.
The movement, If not gen
eral, is at least extensive.
Many of the great Industrial
combinations, express comp.
anles, banks and trust comp
anies have Increased the pay
OF their employees. The tex
tile manufacturing companies
OF New England, which en-
ploy moro than three hundred
thousand hands, have nearly
all increased wages, most OF
them voluntarily, and the
present scale of payment is
as high as ut any time in the
past. Yet so great is the
prosperity Of the industry
that the companies can con-
tinue TO earn handsome divi-
dends for their shareholders.
Most pleasing fact of all to
note is this: That the first TO
share the general prosperity
'all the great industries
have been the men whose
wages were lowest. Many
corporations have limited the
increase to those employees
whose earnings were pre-
viously less than n specified
amount. - Youth's Camnnnion
