DECREASE IA PER CENT
In Acreage, But Condition Of
Tobacco Crop Shows I'm
prOvement Over 1907.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, from reports received
from the various States in the coun-
try producing tobacco, has compiled
an estimate of the acreage and con-
dition of the growing crop on July l,
which shows a decrease in 1908, of
Ia per cent, as compared with the
acreage of 1907.
Of the twenty-five States report
ed, thirteen show an increase in
acreage in 1908, eleven show a de-
crease and one the same acreage as
last year. The most notable de-
creases in acreage are shown in the
Southern States as follows: Florida,
GO per cent; Georgia so per cent;
S. Carolina, "a per cent; Alabama,
20 per cent. In the central West
Indiana acreage shows a decrease
of AZ per cent; Ohio, 2 per cent, and
Kentucky, Is per cent. Other de-
creases are: Pennsylvania II per
cent; New York, Is per cent; Con-
necticut, 6 per cent; Massachusetts,
4 per cent.
Increased acreages are shown as
follows: Texas 40 per cent; Tennes-
see, 40 per cent; Virginia, u per
cent; West Virginia, 10 per cent;
Louisiana, II per cent; Arkansas, z
per cent; Maryland, 5 per cent; Wis
consin, 4 per cent; North Carolina,
4 per cent; New Hampshire, 3 per
cent; Vermont, 2 per cent; Illinois, 2
per cent; Missouri, 2 per cent.
The general condition of the crop
is shown to be better this year than
at the same time lastyear, expressed
by SO per cent. Improvement over
the last years tobacco crop for July
! is shown in all but six of the TWEEN
ty-hve states reported.

KING WEARS TROUSERS

London, July 20. Dispatches from
Madrid show that mother-in-laws
are troublesome even in royal fami-
lies, as the youthful King Of Spain
has discovered to his sorrow.
1t appears that the mother of his
bride, the Princess Henry, Of Batten.
berg, endeavored to keep up with
mother-in-law traditions, and run
the household of the royal couple at
Madrid. First the jars in the mar
ried life were slight, but daily they
increased in violence until the King
put his foot squarely down and gave
his mother-in-law an example of
Kingly temper that rather surprised
the Princess.
The quarrel was tempestuous, the
exchange of compliments being en-
tirely outside the book of court con-
versation, and the result was that
the mother-in-law suddenly packed
her baggage and left the palace,
vowing she would never return.

HANDLE THE WASTE.
Putting Sawdust to Practi-
cal Use in the Lumber
Business.

Sawdust is one of the pulling
wastes in numbering operations.
The waste is serious, too, for the kerr
the part cut out by the saw in the
mill and transformed into sawdust
always bears rather high ratio to
the boards obtained. In cutting
thin kerr. one-fourth Of the log, or
even'more, may be kerf.
Efforts to turn sawdust into pulp
for the paper mill have usually been
unsuccessful on account of mechan-
ical difficulties in handling. In sew
eral European countries, however, a
new way has been found Of turning
sawdust to account. The sawdust,
chiefly pine and fir, is ground with
millstones, exactly as old-time
mills made cornmeal, or wheat or
rye flour. =. Expensive machinery il
not required, but it is necessary to
take special precautions against fires
which might start from sparks be.
tween the millstones.
The sawdust -four is sold to the
dynamite factories to be mixed with
nitroglycerine and forms the body
or absorbent for that high explosive.
1t is also in demand for the manu-
facture of cheap blctting paper.

turing center, are kept busy meet
ing this demand.

many ranges frnm $3.50 to $3.50 a
ton. 1t is shipped in bags, like meal,
or in bales of about 40 cubic feet,
made by means of high pressure.

EyDistinguished psychologist and writer who con
tributes paper in the August McClure's OF
Prohibition and Social Psychology"
A striking feature of the August
McClure's-One that will be widely
aiscussed-is an essay on "Prohibi-
ton and Social Psychology" by
Prof. Hugo Munsterberg. The dis
tinguished psychologist says: Bet
ter America Inspired than America
Sober"
"There must be indeed a possible
middle way between the evil of the
present saloon and the not lesser
evil of future national prohibition;
yet, if this one-sidedness of discus
sion goes on, it is not difficult to
foresee, after the legislative expert
ences of the last year, that the hys-
terical movement will not stop until
prohibition is proclaimed from every
state-house between the Atlantic
and the Pacific"
Another strong feature, from a
pictorial standpoint, is the repro
duction of several of the best paint
ings of Alexander Borisoff, the Rus
sian artist, who went to the frozen
north and painted the marvelously
beautiful colors of the Arctic region
on the spot. Richard c. Cabot, an
eminent physician of Boston, an

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their UnCeasing Work Keeps
Us Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about
500 grains of impure matter daily,
when unhealthy some part of this
impure matter is left in the blood.
This brings on many diseases and
symptoms-pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders
of the eyesight and hearing, dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drow-
siness, dropsy, deposits in the urine,
etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with
your kidneys.

Greenville street, jacksonville, KY,

that be treason, make the most of it!'
BY these two speeches, which nerved
the colonists to stronger protest against
British misrule, is Patrick Henry best
remembered, but there was much more
10 this provincial Virginian than mere
forensic fervor. Henry proved bis
words by his deeds. As soldier, as leg
islator as governor of Virginia and in
all capacities TO which he was called

Yet Patrick Henry as boy and
youth was considered q ne'er-do-well
He was o red headed, slouchy, ungain-
~ youngster, caring little for school
and much for boyish adventures IN
wonderland He failed in three or four
business enterprises, including farming
and storekeeping. and. though a mar
ried man, was desperately poor.
Some years before be reached thirty,
however, Patrick Henry perked up and
astopisbed the Virginia natives. He
studied law about month and man
aged to obtain admission to the bar
IN surprisingly brief time be was a
leader in bis profession.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about Patrick Henry was his ability
as q decliner of Office in his later
years. He declined seat in the Unit
ed States senate; he declined Washing
tons Invitation to become secretary Of
state; be declined the appointment to
the chief justiceship of the supreme
court of the United States; he declined
another election to the governorship of
| Virginia, though he did submit to cleo
ton to the house Of delegates, but died
before taking his seat.
