THE MANY
USES OF
PAPER
u Now Being Made Into Clothing and
Is Really Beautiful Material


n. j., or breezy Denver, Colorado,
nay sweep aside the paper portiero
Of her dressing room, attire herself
in her paper shirt and invisible pa
jer shirtwaist, don her paper hat
md taking all the paper money she
happens to- have handy, go down
;own and buy a few more dozen of
the new paper napkins that go so
we'll with the new paper tablecloth g..
For the age is at last ready TO be-
come an age of paper, all the way
from the paper string that ties up
he package of paper napkins TO the
,aper sheets between which Angus

Washington, Lincoln or Franklin.
~lmost anywhere In the United
-eates, can sleep for the paper COW
cred future.
Franciful Frank Stockton, a gen.
Grafton ago, made his escape from
he famous lady and the tiger-the
-uccess which rendered II nearly i'm
.ossible for him to sell what he
7rote the story OF the pecunious
1inmaker who slept under a blanket
of newspapers-not because the
ewspapers OF the day put you TO
s'eep, but because newspapers az
light were warmer than woolen
blankets.
II was story that was all the
-iore amusing for being so true; and
ot the least truthful OF It's fea-
'ires was the declaration that a
'ewspaper Is one Of the warmest
hings-quite apart from the big
ype and colored scarehead OF to-
day-that humanity can put itself
.ext to.
Streetcar conductors. on cold and
lushy days, often risk a quarrel at
he carbarn or q suspension by the
iperintendent by laying a thickness

Any number of workers exposed
. long hours Of cold find news
iper between coat and vest a bet
.sr protection than chamois or
"'ooien chest protector--as warm In
''ct. as n rubber coat, without In
icing the weakening perspiration
-outchouc.
Perhaps Stockton's story Inspired
Ihe ever-inventive Germans TO try
i'eir hands at obtaining practical
,sults; perhaps II didn't, But the
osults are here anyway.
Process after process, patent aft

rper-oommon, ordinary paper
~aiinble for yarn. The strange
