WOOD WASTE DECREASING,
Wood That Was Once Thrown Away
Is Now Being Utilized.

Washington, Aug. 5. = Especial. 1.-THE
waste wood heap continues to diminish
ard pass away.
A Massachusetts, manufacturer OF
brushes recently made discovery in
Maine which supplied him with material
exactly suited to his purpose. He went
to the Pine Tree State to buy wood for
the backs of hair brushes and the handles
of shaving brushes, and CHANGED to visit
the yards of spool maker who was
using white birch. The spool man took
the white part of the wood only, and was
throwing away the red hearts. Thous-
ards Of cords had been burned or dumped
in the lake to be rid of it.
The red hearts was exactly what the
brush maker wanted and at little more
than the expense of freight he supplied
his factory.
This is typical of the trend of manufac-
turing. Waste of wood is still great, but
it is decreasing. WHAT one factory can
not use, another turns to profit. Former
ly mills threw away half the forest-tops
left in the woods, sawdust dumped in
streams to pollute them and destroy fish
slabs burned in perpetual bonfires. and
abandoned as not worth moving.
This policy does not generally prevail
now Some mills have put in machinery
to work up their own by-products. others
sell their waste to manufacturers who
can use it, as in the case cited in Maine.
The properties and uses of woods are
now subjects of careful investigation, and
the problem of turning to account the
odds and ends and the by-products is
brought more to the front now than for
merly.
The United States Forest Service has
taken up this study in a comprehensive
the woods of particular states are being
conducted, usually in cooperation with
the states concerned. The plan. when
fully carried out, will include every COM
mercial wood in the United States. not
fewer than 200 species. The properties of
each will be investigated, it's hardness.
toushness, elasticity, durability, weight.
fuel value, size of tree, regions where
grown, the common names by which it is
known in different localities, and other
matters of this kind A history of the
woods uses in the past will be given. and
an account of present uses; together with
suggestions for a wider range of useful
ness in the future by pointing out in
what capacities it will serve best and be
most valuable.

Registered Letter System
Doesn't Pay.
Postmaster General Wants 10
Know The Reason Why.
Slight Increase In Registration
Fee May Be Necessary.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Surprsed at
reports that the registry system of the
postotfice department has not proved
profitable, Postmaster General Hitch
cock has taken prompt action with a
view of making the system self-sup-
porting He has appointed a special
committee to investigate the whole
subject and recommend methods by
which the revenues of the registry sys-
TEN maybe increased and it's cost OF
operation reduced without impairing
it's safety. ..
The committee will cooperate with
the committee on standardization of
forms appointed in April, 1908, and re
port what progress is being made to the
third assistant postmaster general.
The committee consists of Chas. H.
Mcbride, assistant superintendent rail-
way service, New York; Geo. l.. Wood,
assistant superintendent division of
salaries and allowances, office of the
first assistant postmaster general, and
Henry p. Temple, assistant superinten-
dent division of registered mails, office
in the third assistant postmaster gen
eral.
Official figures indicate that the reg
| iStry system is expensive but it's value
to the public is SO generally appre-
ciated that a slight increase in the
| registry fee would hardly. be resisted
| if it became necessary to thus increase
| tn revenue for tn postoffice removing
the deficit. The postmaster general is
authorized by law to make the registry
fee as high as 20 cents but OF is not
probable that it will be increased tc
more than 10 cents if it is found neces-
sary to raise the rate.
The fee at present is eight cents.

There Is No Sacrifice
OF Pride.

His relatives and friends entreat him
to leave off drinking; all the misery
and degration are pointed out to him
but it is his lower manhood, his i'm
paired reason, which keep him from
taking the step which would render
him an esteemed citizen. Has he
heard of the Kelley Cure? Oh yes. He
has been urged to take it, but his sense
of pride" forbade him. Pride, indeed
Has he not already perhaps hundreds Of
times dragged his pride into the gutter
Has he not besmirched the pride of his
family and associates? Yes. 1t is not
that, though, altogether, which pre-
vents him taking the step he is urged
to; it is the fear of acknowledging that
his pride is already gone; the unwill-
ingness to acknowledge that he has lost
self control, his will-power. He wants
to do what is right, but cannot in his
own way--by the exercise of his will
power. That is where the trouble lies,
and it is to such men and women the
Kelley Cure makes it's strongest and
best appeal.
There is absolutely no sacrifice of
pride or will-power in taking the Kee-
ley Cure. 1t is only an acknowledge
ment that You have pride and will
power sufficient to see you landed safe
ly on the rock of good citizenship, that
you are yet determined that you will
not be an outcast of society nor be CIV
en- a drunkards grave; that you will be
the man you in your youth had design
ed you should be. an honor, at last, to
fa, H.,
kind of men and women who take the
Kelley Cure. Men who desire nothing
in this life except all the whiskey or
deadly drugs they can consume have
no use for the Kelley Cure. They are
resigned to the drunkard's grave and
the POtters Field. But men who have
ambition, moral acumen, who realize
that there is much in this life that is
good for them, they are the ones who
break through any seeming obstacle
and become cured. Moral suasion had
long proven failure: pleadings were
in vain: the sight of ruin checked not
the pace, until man. of his own wisdom
and his own desire decided to break
the chains which held him in bondage.
Those who take the Kelley cure are
thus the men of character. in whom the
people of any community have an abd-
ing faith. and whether it become
known or not that such a man has TAX
en- the Kelley cure, his acquaintance
admire him for the change that has
been wrought. No sane person ever
said it was disgrace to take the Kee-
ley Cure, although it has been limited
in that way by those who would see the
man debauched on account of the prof
it's that are passed over the bar-the
price of homes. If you would visit the
Kelley Institute you would find there
excellent men representing all rspecta-
BILE observation-disclosures. doctors, farm
ers, mechanics, lawyers, merchants
all men of intelligence, determined to
give to society the best that is in them.
A man should. having once fallen and
been reclaimed. boast of it as the
proudest act of his life that he has been
fully and positively cured of the drink or
drug habit.
Further Information will be given by
the KELLEY INSTITUTE, Portland,
Me.

Mrs: Youngmife-"Tm in a peck of trouble. Some
friends coming to dinner tonight to celebrate
! Toms birthday, and my hands are so swollen am
they will be noticed"
Anty Drudge-What caused your hands to swell like
: that?"
Mrs. Youngwfe-"I had two big baskets full of clothes
to boil today-baby does get his frocks so awfuly
Anty Drudge-"1f my hands were in the condition of
yours I'd be ashamed of them, too. Why had four
big baskets full and my hands would do credit to
first class manicure. My dear, use Fels-Naptha
be worried with swollen hands,"
If you hired a girl to do the washing,
you wouldn't do it yourself while she sat
in the parlor, would you? That would
be ridiculous.
Then, when you get a cake of
Fels-Naptha soap, use it the Fels-Naptha
way and let it do the work. If you use
Fels-Naptha as you would other soaps, you
are like the woman who does the work
herself while her hired girl plays the piano.
A woman who uses Fels-Naptha as if it
were just soap, instead of a new way of
washing, is misguided or foolish.
The directions on the wrapper are plain:
Use Fels- Naptha in cold or 1ukewarm
water, with no boiling and no hard rub
bing. That's why Fels- Naptha was in
vented, to do away with boiling and hard
rubbing, save fuel, save health, save time
and save the clothes. Make Fels-N aptha
do your work for you while you play the
piano. Follow the directions on the red
and green wrapper.

Orrington York Died from Accident
RESULT OF SMASH UP ON HIGH Street
WEEK AGO.

OrIington York, 66 years of age, died
at the residence of his nephew, Laforest
A. York, last Monday evening, from the
evening by being thrown from a wagon
in collision.
Mr.. York had lived in Bethel until
some six months ago he came TO South
Paris and began building house for
himself on the east side of High Street
not far south of Swift's crossing. Sun
day evening he and his nephew, Laforest
A. York, who lives in T. w. Cleasby' S
house on Western Avenue, were at the
lot where he is building, and just at
dark started for the village, Laforest
York getting in first and taking the
reins.
AS they came down the road another
team came along, driving at fair clip,
and the two teams had a little brush
down the road. Just south of w. l..
Farrar's house they met Mr.. aud Mrs.
Fred Bennett. The other team went by
all right, but the thill of York's team
went between the spokes of Benefits
rear wheel and locked under the spring.
Both the Yorks were thrown out, and
I4aforest York was somewhat injured.
Orrington York was unconscious. He
was taken to the home of his nephew
and it was found that he had suffered an
injury to the spine.
He recovered consciousness on Mon
day, and had lawyer summoned and
made his will, but his body was entirely
paraly zed, and he died that night, just
about twenty-four hours after the acct
dent. He was a widower without
children.
The funeral was held Wednesday after
noon at the residence of Laforest York,
attended by Rev. j. Fl. Little. The re-
mains were taken to Bethel for inter

q. Hoyt of Hiram, the state superin.
tendent, who spoke on the subject OF
Character Building.
Thursday morning devotional service
was held, and following that business
session of the convention. The COM
mittee on official reports and recon-
mendatlons presented number Of
recommendations, some of which called
out quite an extended discussion. The
special attention of the members Of the
Union to early church membership was
counseled, as was great care in securing
members, in that they shall be we'll in
formed as to what will be required of
them as members. 1t was advised that
the senior unions make the work OF the
Junior unions a personal matter, and
that at least one day Of the year be set
apart by the seniors for the benefit OF
the juniors. From business stand
point the recommendation which called
out most discussion was one that the
state union pay the expenses of a dele
gate TO the national convention, and that
this delegate should preferably be the
secretary of the state union. This en-
countered some opposition, but was
finally passed by good vote.
officers were elected for the year as
follows:

that department, Mrs. Persis Shedd of
Portland, and local union congress,
conducted by Robert w. Hill of Boston,
secretary of the National Y. P. c. U.
The fiual session of the convention
Thursday evening was principally de-
voted to two addresses. Robert w. Hill,
the national secretary, spoke ably on the
Aims, Accomplishments and Possible
ties of the Young Peoples Christian
Union, and Roger F. Etz, vice-president
of the Massachusetts state union, en-
phasized the importance and the re-
sponsibility of the individual in the
work of the union. Both these young
men are interesting speakers, and earnest
in the work, and their addresses made
an appropriate close to the profitable
of the convention.
