Sometimes every face glows from re-

times every face does not glow with
asSIdious scrubbing. On the occasions

armed with a note asking the mother
to please eradicate the odor by bath

BY-PRODUCTS OF WOOD.
Seattle Man Invents New System for
Extracting Chemicals From
Mill Waste.

II. Rasche of Seattle, has invented
a new system for extracting chemical
by-products from mill and logging
waste. Primarily his invention is
designed to facilitate and make COM
mercially profitable the clearing of
logged-over land. The inventor has
made the extraction of wood products
a life study and has had extensive
experience in the construction of
such plants, both in the United
States and Europe.
His last invention is of simple
construction and any man of average
intelligence Will be able to learn the
operation thereof inside of one week
a small plant for demonstration has
been built in Seattle and tests made
have given the following results per
cord of wood:
Turpentine, from 10 to 20 gal
Ions, cresote, from so to 60 gallons
tar, from 60 to 75 gallons; char
coal, rs bushels. The present mar
ket prices for these products are as
follows: Turpentine, soc; cresote,
Csc; tar, 25c per gallon, and char
coal, 17c per bushel.
Averaging the products from one
cord of wood, Mr.. Rasche says the
gross value will be as follows
