RUBBER.

Could Charles Goodyear, the father
of the rubber industry, return to life
and visit modern rubber factory, it
is safe to say that his astonishment
would be expressed not so much at
the machinery used in the manufac-
ture of rubber as at the materials
used in the makeup of the rubber
goods of our times. Every one knows
that it is practically impossible to find
pure rubber article on the market
in these days, and one often hears the
rubber manufacturer arraigned as
conscienceless defrauder. But let
the public, which stands in judgment
on the manufacturer, stop to consider
its own part in the case. One con-
Germ informs US that it pays $I.4O
pound wholesale for crude Para rub
Der and 20 cents pound for canvas,
yet it makes up and sells rubber hose
for 25 cents pound. Problem Find
the profit. There is no method of
adulterating canvas, although to be
sure it forms a relatively small part
by weight of the hose. If any profit
is to be made it must come out of the
rubber, and the public, which refuses
to pay more than one-ffth as much
for the finished product as the manu-.
facturer does for the raw material,
should find no fault with the quality
of the goods it receives.
Fpreu Il usart-fnr the inventien- -of- "a
process for reclaiming old rubber, the
lot of the manufacturer would be
hard one. Fortunately for him, heis
not dependent upon the forests of
Brazil or Central America for the
precious gum. Rubber has been i'm
ported into this country for nearly
century, and since the material is
proof against all ordinary deteriora-
ting influences, it follows that the
country is stocked with a large supply
of the material in scrap form, to be
sure, but rubber nevertheless, and ca
pable of being reclaimed by simple
process and remanufactured into new
goods.
Rubber in its raw, unvulcanized
state becomes soft and plastic when
heated at moderate temperature,
while cold renders it quite stubborn
and hard. The vulcanizing process
consists In adding to the gum GER
tain proportion of sulphur, which
when mechanically combined with
the rubber and then subjected to heat
gives it permanent character which
is unaffected by variations in temper
ature. The material may be made
hard or soft as desired, according to the
quantity of sulphur which is added to
it. While the sulphur remains in COM
bination withthe rubber, the lattercan-
not be worked over and remouldered
into new goods. The vulcanizing or
reclaiming process consists then in
extracting or multiplying the sulphur
and thus reducing the rubber to its
original workable state. There are
several reclaiming processes in COM
mon use and they form most impor-
tant part of the rubber industry

WITH GLOWING HEART.

Lord. with glowing heart I'd praise Thee
For the bliss Thy love bestows;
For the pardoning grace that saves me
And the peace that from It flows;
Help, o God. my weak endeavor.
This dull soul TO rapture raise.
Thou must light the flame. or never
Can my love be warm'd to praise.
Praise. my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away;
Praise, with loves dev0utest feeling,
Him who saw Thy guilt-b born fear,
And. the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blo0d-stain'd cross appear.
Lord. this bosom's ardent feeling
Vafnly would my lips express.
Low before Thy fo0tst0ol kneeling,
Deign Thy suppliant's prayer to bless;
Let Thy grace, my souls chief treasure,
loves pure flame within me raise;
And. since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth Thy praise.

HONE MADE MIXTURE
CURES RHECMATISM

There is so much Rheumatism here

1t is claimed that there are few
victims of this dread and tortuous
disease who will fail TO find ready
relief in this simple home made mix

cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to

can filter and strain from the blood
and system the poisons. acids and

Rheumatism. but numerous other dis

who feels that their kidneys are not
healthy and active. or who suffers
from any urinary trouble whatever,
should not hesitate to make up this
mixture. as it is certain to do much
good. and may save you from much
misery and suffering after while.

gus trouble. and the leaf-roller and
crown-borer practically its only in
sect depredators. Where any of these
are abundant the most effective treat
ment seems to be to burn over the
beds as soon after moving as the
leaves have dried out. Arsenical poi
sons may be used for the insects, but
are OF doubtful value, inasmuch ~
for the most part they fail to come
within reach Of the insects. Different
varieties show great differences in
their ability to resist the leaf-spot, and
in general resistant varieties should
be chosen. Plants which show the
disease before setting should have the
diseased foliage removed and should
then be sprayed with Bordeaux mix
ture, and three or four times after
setting.
In the fruiting season they may be
sprayed just before the blooming and
after most OF the blooming Is over.
As rule, this is not so troublesome

Of the more humid regions.
