HOW OLIVE OIL IS MADE.
Fruit Is Crushed to n Paste, from
Which the Oil Is Pressed.

OruSneO 10 n FaStcS ArOnA
Which the Oil Is Pressed.
The finest olive oil in the world is
grown In Tuscany-the garden of Italy.
The trees blossom in Tuscany in the
month Of May. The fruit begins to
rlpen in November and is generally In
full maturity in January.
It is a risky crop, says What to Eat,
maturing as it does during winter
weather A cold snap with frost may
cause great damage to fruit.
Sometimes the fruit remains on the
trees till May, yielding a pale, very
thin oil, appreciated in some quarters,
but which speedily develops rancidity.
The process of extracting the oil Is
simple in the extreme the fruit Is first
crushed in a mill to uniform paste,
then the paste is transferred to circu-
lar bags or receptacles made Of vege-
table fiber. A pile of these are placed
in a press and the exuding oil flows IN
to a collecting tank below.
Essential conditions are that the mill
should not revolve too fast or 1t VIII
overhead the olive paste and give bad
flavor to the oil; that the bed Of the
mill should not be of metal, for the
same reason.
Also the degree of pressure, when
the object is to get the finest quality
of oil-"oll from the pulp" as the
term runs-must not be excessive. The
finest olive oil is essentially a cold
drawn oil. Heat is prejudicial to
quality.
However when all possible care has
been taken in the process, the fact re-
mains that olive oil can be made only
from freshly gathered, perfectly sound
ripe olives of the proper kind. The big
fat olives of hot, subtropical climates
can never yield delicately favored
oil.
The newly made oil must be allowed
to settle. It is then clarified simply
by passing it through purified cotton
wool in q suitable filter. Really hne
olive oil calls for no other treatment
whatever. chemical or otherwise, to rem
der it fit for the table. On this point
It Is as well to be clear, as reference
has been made before now to processes
Of refining olive oil so as to obtain
specially fine quality-one might as
well try to paint the lily or adorn the
rose -
After being brought to America the
clarified oil is preserved in warehouses
in large slate-lined tanks, holding up
to 10000 gallons each, wherein the oil
is maintained at an equable tempera-
ture. For bottling and can filling pur-
poses it is transferred by pipes from
these large tanks to other smaller tanks
In the packing rooms.

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

ARCTIC TRIP TO LOOK FOR GOLD.
Explorers to Make Scientific study
of the Northern Lands.

Explorers to Make Scientific Study
of the Northern Lands.
An arctic expedition which has not
attracted much attention is being &C
lively equipped and will soon be ready
to sail from one of the ports in the
north of France, according to the New
York Herald. 1t is the expedition or
the French Oceanographic Society and
the commander chosen is Captain
Charles Bernard. The expedition will
sail in the ketch Jacques Cartier, the
gift of a woman. Nine. G. Thomson,
and the party will consist of twenty
men.
Charles Roux, president of the coun-
ell of administration Of the Compagnle
Generate Transatlantique, is directing
the enterprise which was projected al
the recent exhibition at Marsellles.
There was a section of oceanography al
the exhibition which brought together
a great many scientists and navigators
interested in the study and the def
ciencies of information as to polar
waters were discussed and so the idea
of an oceanographic polar expedition
was evolved.
The Bernard expedition is not to try
for any record in the way of high latl-
tude. The program is to study the
coast and waters in the neighborhood
of Nova Zembla and the Kara Sea.
Indications of mineral wealth will be
sought on the islands and opportuni-
ties for the extension of French fish
cries in northern waters. These will
he the industrial aims. The scientific
ones will cover the whole field Of polar
research.
The Jacques Cartier is a solid vessel,
with a steel PROV and a sheath OF
heart of oak along the water, or, raths
er. the ice line. She is specially braced
| within to resist nipping by the ice
pack. She is schooner rugged. The
quarters for the men are spacious and
the storerooms ample for several
years supplies. There are, besides,
Photographic workrooms, laboratory,
and a library. There is apparatus on
| board for surveying and for deep-sea
sounding and an elaborate fishing out
fit. The small boats include two steam
launches

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
Days of Financial Stress Make Farm
Lands Look Rich.


A staff contributor of a Southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says 1T is a well-knoWn fact
that the history of this government
shows that those men who have been
most successful in life and who have
left their impress upon its people and
its institutions as statesmen, soldiers,
financiers, have as a rule been those
whose youth was spent on the farm,
and it is to such as these that there
comes with overmastering power THE
CALL OF THE SOIL. More especially
does it come with redOubled persuasive
Less, greater power and sweeter plead
ing to the man of affairs when the
clouds of financial unrest begin to dark
en- the sky; when the cry of panic
causes people to lose their wits and act
like stampeded cattle; when with rea-
son or without reason there arises be-
fore him the specter of ruin, grinning
in his face and waving it's gaunt arms
in threatening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent fnan-
cial furry, which happily is now pass
ed suggests these reflections Some
were ruined and very few became in
sane because Of their losses. Two or
three took their own lives.
1t is when such times come
that the statesman, the great finan-
cier, and the man of affairs becomes
tired of the struggle. He lays down
his pen, turns from his desk and
listens to THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases through
out the United States of those who
have money in the banks and are look
ing for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take
for instance, the lands in West
ern Canada that can be bought
at from SO to $15 per acre
which yield a revenue equal to and
often greater than their original cost,
NThese lands make a certain invest
ment. During the past two months
large investments in these lands have
been made, some intending to use the
lands for farming purposes of their
own, others to resell to farmer
friends. The agents of the government
of Canada located at different points
throughout the United States have in
their possession particulars of districts
in which there are free homestead
grants of 160 acres, each accessible 10
railways, markets, schools, churches,
etc. These are valuable lands. These
agents will be pleased to give informa-
ton to any DESTROYS of securing and
will tell all about the railway rates,
etc.

An Expensive Possession.

Another case of the universally of
labor on the part of every member OF
the family save the paternal parent is
cited in Punch. A small applicant for
a country holiday is interviewed by the
town visitor.

itOr

"Yes. but what is he?''
"Oh! IFS me stepfather."
Eyes, yes but what does he do? Does
he sweep chimneys or drive buses, or
what?'

with dawning light of comprehension.

Beyond Him.

The Admirable Crichton who had just
delivered an impromptu speech in verse,
knocked out a professional pugilist, de-
ciphered a cryptogram that nobody else
could solve, and disarmed in twinkling
two experts who had attacked him with
their rapiers, all within the space of an
hour or so, heaved a sigh of regret.
81 can do these things easily enough,
he said, "but to save my life l can't
pitch a curved ball J"

guished men of the olden time were only
relatively great.

CircumstantiaI evidence.

Sir A. Conan Doyle, at the Authors
Club Christmas dinner in London, re-
lated that in America some colored
people were keeping the festival Of
Christmas and they were told to hang
up their stockings at night. One poor
fellow had no stockings, and SO he
hung up his trousers. In the morning
he was asked what he had got. He re-
piled: 81 guess 1 got man, for my
pants are gone"

Lower Prices for Alcohol.

The production of denatured alcohol
for the first six months of 1907, under
the new law, was 1,774,272 gallons.
The supplemental free alcohol law will,
it is estimated, lead to a production of
100000 gallons for the calendar year.
The operation of the law reduced the
cost of wood alcohol from 60 to 80
cents a gallon, which has greatly bene-
flied consumers.
