was considerable dirt in much of the milk
sold though practically all that was test 70

Last year the state board did NOT have
money with which to carry on the work
with thoroughness, but this year the leg

ANOTHER BIG PROJECT.
Oeerfeld River Company Of Wilmington
viii Run One Of Largest Sawmills in
East, at Woodstock, N. II.

Martin y. Brown. on behalf OF the
Deerfield River company. last week prac-
ucally closed "a big lumber deal with the
Parker Young company OF Lisbon y II
which will involve the purchase Of from
- To- - million feet Of spruce logs by the
Deeriield River company and the opera
tion by il for "A year OF one of the largest
Slwmlls in the East.
More than year ago the Parker
Young company made contract with
the Publishers Paper company for the
purchas" from the latter concern. each
year for five years, OF ten TO % million
feet of spruce logs To be delivered at a
new mill I'm Woodstock. y H. The mill is
big double band plant capable OF saving
from 100 600 To l2O. 600 feet day and was
built by the paper company Its erection
was delayed and in the meantime six mil
lion feet Of logs We're landed At the pond
last year This year three million more
have been delivered, making an accumu-
lation of nine million feet
1t was the object OF the Parker-Young
company, in entering upon this con-
tract, 10 obtain out Of the output of the
mill a selection OF 10 or 90 per cent Of
the lumber for their own use for piano
stock When II came to undertaking a
job = such magnitude as was involved in
saving and marketing the entire stock
the company found itself sadded with a
bigger task than they cared to handle as
side issue and when Mr.. Brown offered
to take it OF their hands a bargain was
struck
The Deerheld River company is to buy
outright all the logs now landed and to
be delivered during the coming year
operate the mill and sell back to the
Parker Young company such of the out
put as may be suitable for piano stock.
The contracts are to be signed early
next week. Leonard \. Brown will prob
ably locate at Woodstock as the Deer

A NATION OF CRIPPLES.
Rheumatism Beyond Control.
The Only Hope to Rheumatic Sufferers Is
Uric-O Treatment

If rheumatism continues to spread as it has
an the past few years, it would seem as though

their affection brought on by rheumatism
How many thousands more there are that are
hopelessy bed-ridden and whom we never
see. Rheumatism from the very nature of the
disease, can never cure itself and If neglected
IS bound to grow worse rather than better.

CONCRETE BUILDING
FAVORED IN CANADA.
Toronto Finds This Material
Cheaper and Better in More
Ways Than One.

TORONTO. CANADA, May li.-.se-in-
forced concrete construction Is being de-
veloped to q surprising extent In the
larger Canadian cities. Tho manner In
which this form OF construction has taken
hold in the States has long since caused Z
the prophecy to be made that the day
OF concrete Is near at hand, and this pro-
phecy seems to find ample justification:
in tho building permits taken out in
Canada.
Insurance rates and the high price OF
building materials have been important
factors in favor OF fireproof building ma
terials, is tho explanation.
To-day concrete floors and roofs are
put up at practically the cost. Of wood.
The now office of the Canada Foundry
Company and the structure Of heavy loads
recently erected for Stauntons, Limited,
both In Toronto. are splendid examples of
fireproof expanded metal construction.
Tho columns. beams. floor and roofs are
| oil concrete. nodded with temporary
wooden forms, the slab work throughout
each being reinforced by .hree-inch
| mesh ten-suage3 expanded metal. placed
| near tho under side 1ina It's lright posi-
ton to take UP the tensile strains. In
| this way very thin floor plate Is all
| that Is required.
Reinforced concrete stairs are also
feature OF this type OF construction. be-
ing combination OF the methods ems
ployed In panel and beam work. The
stairs and elevator openings are perfectly
cut off by fireproof walls built like the
partitions. They are light. but OF great,
rlgidlty.
Steel studs OF a small section nre se-
cured to the concrete at floor and CELL
| Ing, being spaced one foot apart and to
! these Is wired expanded metal leths:
mortar gnuged with Portland cement
is then plastered on both Sides tho
entire framework Of metal being en-
| bodied. The complete partition Is only
| two inches thick. but being virtually,
whom set. u stone OF that thickness.3
| with q backbone Of steel. It Is exceed
ingly strong and absolutely fireproof.
This same expedient Is resorted to In.
old building of a non-fireproof ma,
ture. the wood ceilings being
furred down with steel strips
Metal laths and plaster for
q ceiling that effectually protects the In
flammablo woodwork. In boller-rooms
and other places where the fire hazard
Is extreme, Il great reduction In insur-
ance is now made for this Improvement
In many respects the Canadian style OF
Reinforced concrete construction is
very similar to that employed In the
q States.
