Features of q Doctors Home.

A formaldehyde room, where he
can disinfect himself and his clothing
thoroughly before entering the rest
of the home, will be but one of the
features which will make the home
to be built by DR.. e. M. Holder on
East street one of the most complete
and luxurious in Memphis.
Besides the little disinfecting
room, designed as protection for his
family from himself when he returns
from treating infectious or contagious
diseases, a stard-pipe with hose for
use in fighting fire is novelty. A
private safe, lock and shelves in the
pantry, a plate warmer for the stone
walls, are among the unique features.
A screened sleeping room is provided
for summers.--Memphis News Scimi.

SAID TO BE ASSURED
Government Experts Announce Sue

cess of Their Experiments
to That End.
Experiments conducted by chemists
Of the Bureaus of Forestry and of
Plant Industry in the new laborator-
les at Washington have demonstrated,
It is said, that paper can be made
from cornstalks, by much the same
process as that used in treating wood
pulp, at cost, when machinery has
been perfected, of q little over half
The cost of making 1t from wood pulp.
The scientists feel sure that 1t Is alb
solutely practical, the newly discov-
cred process having been subjected
20 every test.
Samples of the cornstalk paper
made by DR.. H. S. Bristol and his
assistants were shown recently. 1t
is made in five grades Of different
color and texture. The first grade
Is of dark gray color and heavy tex
ture, resembling parchment. 1t is
almost as tough as sheepskin and
commercially might be used for many
purposes. Another grade is of a
tighter gray of the same character.
There are two shades of yellow and
one of white.
The white paper Is made from the
hard outside shell of the cornstalk,
and the yellow from the inside, or
pith. The yellow paper has a large
fibre, and In many respects is like
the paper manufactured from rags
and linen, soft and pliable, and might
be utilized by newspapers.
In making paper from cornstalks
the scientists have used the Soda
cooked" process, which ls acknowl-
edged by paper manufacturers to be
the best means of making paper from
wood pulp. The cornstalk pulp is
cooked for from two to two and
half hours; it takes from twelve to
fourteen hours to cook wood pulp.
DR.. Bristol says he has already
made paper from cornstalks almost
as cheaply as it can be made from
wood pulp. 1t has taken fifty years
to develop the present methods of
making paper from wood pulp. DR..
Bristol believes that when proper
machinery is built and the farmers
realize that a good revenue may be
derived from the sale of cornstalks,
paper will be manufactured from the
new material at half the cost of wood
pulp paper.
With wood at $S a cord, paper is
made from wood pulp at a cost of $13
a ton. Cornstalks can be bought for
IS a ton and the paper made with
the present primitive machinery for
S14 ton.

Winyard looked up quickly into
her face, which he could now see, as
she had turned at the top of the
stairs to wait for him.
"In every sense of the word?" he
asked; for he thought he detected a
deeper meaning in the tone Of her
voice than the mere words conveyed.
But he never received his answer, for
at that moment the drawing-room
door opened, and Mrs. Wright came
forward to receive him.
ut Is striking seven," she said,
with a smile. "You are here to the

you never hurry, and always have
time for everything, as the colonel
tells me you have l need not in
troduce you two, apparently.
mo, it is not necessary, thank
you," replied Mistley, standing aside
to allow Lena to pass into the room.
Colonel Wright entered, and after
carefully raising his trousers so as
to avoid dragging them at the knees,
sat down.
Mrs. Wright nodded in acquies-
cence, she continued:
"When l said we would be fami-
ly, forgot that it would be necessary

his peculiarly slow and somewhat
hesitating manner-"I think that
Mistley knows a great deal about
Laurance Lowe. You see, we had a

"Laurance Lowe" said the Colonel,
sturdily, 'is the most silent man and
the truest friend | have ever known. "
VINEYARD Mistley nodded with pc
culiar little acquiescent smile, which
meant that he was not thinking very
much about the subject under dis
cussion.

meeting at No. fire station last night.
at which Mr. J. w. Robinson and H.
A. Heath of the soliciting committee
of the Commercial club for the state
fair fund were present. Each made a
talk in behalf of the fair fund and
changed the minds of many OF the
people who had not heretofore under
stood the movement. In the talk made
by Mr. Heath he said: In order to
get the state interested sufficiently TO
aid us in the proposition OF providing
permanent and f1reproof buildings we
must get together and show the entire
state that we are willing to do some
thing for ourselves After convincing
the people of this fact the Legislators

that they will have the privilege Of
reporting the end of the Campaign
before the middle Of next week The
subscriptions today amount to 316.46A
and the committee has the assurances
of about $500 more in addition to the
amount to be added by the North To-:
peka merchants. AS soon as these
amounts are added to the list, in addi-
ton to the subscriptions that will be
added within the next three or four
days that are practically assured, the
committee believes that less than $500
of the $4,000 desired will be un-
pledged. With less than $500 to Sc
cure, the members Of the conmittee
will have no trouble to get the re-
mainder and they believe that they
will complete the work on or before
next wednesday. The question Of OBJ
serving Arbor day was also settled last
night. The members OF the club will
do so by replacing a number Of the
trees which were destroyed last year
while making excavations for the paw
ings. A committee has been appointed
to attend to this Of which Mr.. Hath
away Is chairman, and SUFFICIENT
money will be taken from the treasury
of the club to purchase the trees neces-
sary. The trees will be planted on
both sides of Kansas avenue from Cor
don street to Garfield park ana on
Central avenue in the same manner.
The street department is asked to az
sit in the hauling away of the debris
from the old Quincy school and be
placed on the road to Sardou bridge,
and the cleaning up Of the alleys.

In the rebuttal speech for the af-

to his judges in the presumption that
they had the combined mental and

his rebuttal Mr.. Selle showed that the
negative had based their claims on
revolutionary American governments
rather than honorable governments.
He said that If ever there is a time
when 1t is a question Of armed inter-
vention or of no payal of debt, the
later should be the resort. If claims
of citizens are not paid, foreigners
should not appeal to their own govern
ment. The judges and the audience
then gave their unanimous decision to
the affirmative. Then it was time fol-
all Washburn to talk vociferously and
they yelled. The judges were: Presi-

There was a period of spirited yell
ing from Baker and Washburn lungs
during which the majority decided
that Washburn was Everybody and
not Baker as the representatives of
the latter had the audacity to assert.
When Miss Eleanor Simms had
rendered pleasingly a vocal solo and
the opposing teams were seated on
the platform with their water pitch
ers and suit cases filed with law
books, President Plass announced the
question for debate, Resolved. That
armed Intervention is not justifiable
on the part Of any nation
to collect in behalf of private indivi-
duals financial claims against any
American nation" Washburn up
held the Affirmative, opposing armed
Intervention, Baker favoring it, up
held the negative.

Between puffs, the audience could
distinguish however, that the mega

arbitration was justified in one or
more cases His propositions were
that armed Intervention was first
necessary, second, admissible, third
that it secures justice. 1t is necessary
