NEW KIND OF ROAD MATERIAL
Salt and Alkai Scale From Boiler
Used In Parts of Kansas.

The farmers i'll central Kansas as
we'll as the people in the towns have
been interested in good roads for sew
eral years, and in Ellsworth and its
vicinity one can see almost any kind
of a made road.
at one or two places in Ellsworth
county there are short roads where
treatment has been given similar to he
pavement on Douglas avenue in ELS
worth. Here there are two blocks that
fool fourGfths of the visitors to the
town. The treatment of this street
was commenced about two or three
years ago, consisting of coarse and
fne cinders in layers, then a covering
surface of salt and alkali scale
The water in this country is very
hard, and in all the steam boilers at
the salt mills and other factories a sort
of alkali forms which must be relnov
ed frequently, and this, with the salt
and alkali scale that forms i'm the salt
pans, is used on Douglas avenue III
forms hard crust and makes a most
excellent street. 1T is a success ON
the most busy thoroughfare of Ellis
worth, and if the supply WAS not so
limited the farmers would use it for
the rural roads and more of the streets,
of Ellsworth would be paved with it.
The salt and alkali crust on Douglas
avenue is now about three inches
thick, and this lies on three inches of
coarse cinders and three inches of fine
cinders 1t makes a pretty street. in

SATIATING THE APPETITE

There was slaughter at West Point
on Saturday in order that the crowd
could enjoy the holiday. Eugene Byrne,
right tackle on the army football
eleven, suffered a broken back during
the game with the Harvard team. This
is the graphic style in which the
story of his fatal injury is told:
Until the unfortunate accident
Byrne showed phenomenal pluck, though
of lighter build and weight than the
usual run of tackles. He had thrown
himself reclllessly against the crimson
attack repeatedly. 1t was when Har-
ward began to hammer the line in the
second half for consistent gains that
Byrne went into his final scrimmage.
With the cheers of his gray haired
father ringing in his ears the young
cadet threw himself against the ire
sistible Leslie so sudden that the at
tack and consequent defense that Byrne
was caught in the malestrom of hui
manity. Somehow in that jam his
life was crushed out.''
Could the story of killing in the
bull pit be related in more thrilling and
dramatic manner? Two weeks ago a
member of the navy academy eleven
was injured to the point of where
death is likely to enter the threshold
of his bedchamber at any time. But
what of it? The populace must be
fed to satiate an overpowering appetite
for a rough game.

WHAT BILLY SUNDAY COST

Albert Lea Times Enterprise: A list
of the conversions Billy Sunday has
made during the past five or six years
and the amount he has received for
bis work, is being published. This
shows that the number reported as con-
verted reach over $4,000 and the money
he received at his meetings is more
than $4,000. While the number of
his reputed conversions have shrank
severely within a year after he left
the town, Billy's contributions have
not shrank in any particular. A bust
ness like handling of the money paid
to him would have accomplished many
times more for Humanity and the
cause of Christianity than has been ac-
complished by the slang phrases of
Sunday. Funny isn't it, how people,
good Christian people, will have their
heads turned by the coarse, wit slang
phrases and ridicule of society, which
Sundays deals out what blessing that
amount of wealth would have been
to the church handled in business like
way, and what world of good could
have been accomplished with it, com
pared with what has been Civ
en- in exchange for it. With
that money to have pushed the work,
what vast amount of work over
what has been done, could have been ac-
by the churches in the var
ious communities out of which it has

NOT A TECHNICAL MEDICAL LECTURE

Some misrepresentation seems to exist
regarding the address to be delivered at
the Presbyterian church on Wednesday
evening, Nov. 10, by DR.. j. N. McCor-
mack, secretary of the state board of
health of Kentucky. Many of our
readers have apparently gotten the inn
preston that the address to be given
by this distinguished gentleman is on
technical subjects. We are assured,
however, that such is not the case.
DR.. Mccormack, as the chairman of
the organization committee for the
American Medical association, is tour
ing the country, lecturing before medi-
cal societies and popular audiences in
the interest of pure food, pure drugs,
better sanitary and hygienic conditions,
better medical colleges and better doe
tors.
He claims that the public is as
much responsible for present conditions
as as members of the medical profess
sion, and he is, therefore, specially
anxious to meet and talk with repre-
sentative men in every community
which he visits. DR.. McCormack's ad-
dress will be on topics of vital in
terest to every intelligent man and
woman in the community. We are
asked to especially urge the presence
and participation of all ministers, law
yers, teachers, members of womens
clubs, etc.
There are no subjects which have at
tracted so much attention and aroused
so mucn interest of late as those con-
nected with the securing of pure food
and the lettering of sanitary condi-
tions. We hope that every public
spirited citizens of our town will make
a special effort to be present and to
hear DR.. McCormack's address, as we'll

cussion which will follow

earth, no scientist has made such seri-

friends are pausing today amid their
scientific experiments to celebrate his
fifty first birthday, for he was born in
Mentor, Ohio, Nov. 3, 1858. Mr.. Well
man was known as a newspaper man
before he became an explorer. He ran
a weekly paper as small boy in
Sutton, Neb. At the age of twenty
one years he established The Cincin-
natl Evening Post. After 1884 he was
political and Washington correspondent
of The Chicago Herald, later The Rec
ord Herald.

the season. In 1907 start was made
in the airship America, but the vessel
encountered a storm and was driven
back.
He left New York on May II of this
year for Spitzbergen to complete his
preparations for the start. He esti-
mated that under favorable conditions
the pole could be reached from Spitz-
bergen in from two to five days. Be-
fore leaving this country in May, the
aeronaut said the capital for his UNI

by Americans interested in the enter

No change had been made in the gen

That was in 1894. For a long time
nothing was heard of his party, but
at last it showed up with record of

SPEAKS FOR ORPHANS HOME.
B. ]. Kendall Writes of What Has Beer
Accomplished.

In recent number of The Christian
Home, is an article of special interest
to the public, written by B. J. Kendall
of Geneva, H., giving an account OF
the first primitive starting of the Chris
tian Home Orphanage, at Council
Bluffs, Ia, and the remarkable constant
growth that has come to that institu-
ton since it's founding.
The movement was originated by the
late Rev. j. G. Lemen, who upon hear
ing that there were homeless children
who needed protection, and remember
ing the comamnd of Christ, "Feed My
Lambs" took into his own home three
friendless and homeless children and
allowed them the same tender care
that was bestowed upon his own lit
tie ones. When news came of other
children in need of a home, Rev. Le-
men willingly added more to his house
hold, until the time came when larger
quarters were needed, and capital must
be raised. He was also the pastor of
a large church at Council Bluffs, who
Nelc loOhlllS W lllll III spiritual SuIu-
ance. The proposition upon his hands
was one that an ordinary man, with
less faith, would have thought impos-
sible to carry on, but Ro=. Lemen
went ahead, never doubling but what
a way would be opened to accomplish
his work. After using the few thou
sand dollars that he had himself saved
for rainy day, aid came from other
faithful followers and now a beautiful
institution stands as monument of
the work begun by the late Rev. LIE
men.
The property of the institution is all
decided in such way that it can new
er be mortgaged or used for any other
purpose than an orphanage. 1t is
non sectarian, and is endorsed and sup
ported by freewill offerings from all
denominations. 1t is national insti-
tuition, in that it takes children from
every state in the nation. A farm
and industrial department are greatly
needed, and to any one who feels the
desire to help one of the most blessed
and worthy enterprises, there can not
be a better opportunity than to assist
the national home for orphan children,
the Christian Home Orphanage.

TIMBER DECAY COSTS MILLIONS

Millions of feet of timber and fin
ished lumber rot every year in rail
road ties, bridges, trestles, piles, farm
buildings, fences, poles, and mine props.
The lumber consuming public of the
United States pays perhaps thirty to
forty million dollars year to. make
good the losses from wood decay.
These great drains are source of
more and more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to
do with the uses of wood are working
increasingly on the problem. The
United States forest service has men
who devote their whole time to it.
The Importance of the problem can
not be overestimated. Millions of
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1909-11-05

dollars are annually saved by preserva-
tive treatment of timbers, but much
yet remains to be learned.
Wood decay is caused by fungus, a
vegetable growth sometimes so small
that it can be seen only with the
microscope. It's roots or branches, like
minute hairs, force their way into
the wood tissues and absorb or eat
away the solid parts. The collapse
which results is called decay. Timber
is artificially preserved by forcing into
its cells and pores certain substances
which prevent the growth of fungi.
As long as this substance is present
is sufficient quantity, the germs of de-
cay-the threads and spores of fungus
can not enter, and the wood is pre-
served This often means doubling
and some times trebling the life of
the timber.
The United States government con-
siders the investigations of the pre-
sentative treatment of timber of such
Importance that the business of one
office of the United States forest SER
vice, that of wood preservation, with
new headquarters at Madison, Wis, is
given over entirely to the work of
experiments in cooperation with rail
road companies and other corporations
and individuals in prolonging the life
of railroad ties, mine props, bridge
timbers, fence posts and transmission
poles. The frightening of the life of
timber means the saving of thousands
of dollars annually through doing away
with the heavy expense of labor and
cost of material for renewals
