MAKING SUNSHINE.
It Is Often Found in Pure Food.

The improper selection of food drives
many a healthy person into the depths
of despairing illness. Indeed, most
sickness comes from wrong food and
just so surely as that is the case right
food will make the sun shine once
more.

Used 3,346,106 Cords
Of Wood Last Year
And Manufactured 2,116,947
Tons Of PUP.
Spruce furnished 81 Per Cent. Of
Total Quantity Used.

Washington, June S.-Two hundred
and fifty-one pulp mills in the United
States used 1886, 106 cords of wood, and
mace 2,llS,?47 tons of pulp last year.
Spruce has always been the leading
pulp wood, and it furnished siXty-four
per cent. of the total quantity used.
The rapid development of the wood
pulp industry in the last ten years has
rendered the domestic supply of spruce
insufficient to meet the demands upon
it, and consequently importations from
Canada have been heavy In 1908 our
pulp mills consumed nearly one and
one-half million cords of domestic
spruce and over $4,000 cords of i'm
ported spruce, making the imports of
spruce forty-ftve per cent. of the do
nestle supply.
Next to spruce, the most important
pulp wood is hemlock; 569,173 cords OF
it were converted into pulp last year
All the hemlOck used was of domestic
origin, and most of it was produced in
the Lake States and Pennsylvania
Although now used in less quantity
than spruce and hemlock, poplar has
long been standard pulp wood. A
| small quantity of poplar is imported
but by far the larger portion of the
more than 100000 cords used last year
was cut from domestic timber. Spruce
hemlock, and poplar made up ninety
per cent of the total quantity of pulp
wood used. The remainder was sup
piled by many species, the most impor.
tant Of which We're pine, cottonwood
and balsam.
| The wood used by the pulp mills las
year cost them little more than $2S,
100000, or an average of $S.38 per cord
against an average of $S.21 in 1907. Thu
most costly wood used was imported
spruce, with an average value of $106i
per cord. The average for domestic
spruce was $S.75 per cord and for pop
| lar, $S.04 per cord. The cheapest Woot
which was used in large quantity wa:
| heinlock. the cost being $500 per cord
| Owing to uncertain business condition!
the total consumption of pulp wood il
1905 was nearly is per cent. less thar
in 1907, but this did not prevent a con
siderable increase in the price of wood
The high price of wood is making thu
manufacturers be constantly on thu
| lookout for cheaper raw materially ant
one u the IflDSl encouraging ueVelOp
ments has been the increased use O.
slab wood and other sawmill waste
This drift in the industry is clearly in
dictated ty the fact that 1924 cords OF
mill waste were reported as consumed
in pulp manufacture during 1907 while
| 1896 cords. an increase of thirty pei
cent. were used in 1905
These statements are based upon c
preliminary report of the consumption
of pulp wood in the United States il
| 1908 Just issued by the Bureau of the
| Census. The Bureau Of the Census ant
| the Forest Service cooperate in the col
lection of annual statistics of forest
products, and this preliminary report
will soon be followed by bulletin
which will give detailed information
upon the use of pulp wood last year in
the various states, the cost per cord
| the amount reduced by the mechanical
sulphite, and soda processes, and other
facts of interest to the industry.
