truths in it that will be appreciated,

1T is easier to knock than to

how the affairs of the town, the city
the country, the state and the natlor

.F|L|P|NOS OBJECT
TO The PAYNE Bill
Resolution Of Protest Adopted
by the Assembly.

Manila, March 29.-Floor Leader
Quezcon of the majority in the Philip
pine assembly presented resolution
embodying a memorial to congress OPP
posing the Payne bill. The resolution
recites the provisions Of the bill and
then declares it's enactment would be
prejudicial to the interests of the Fill
Pine people, especially SO far as 1t con-
Germs an economic administration. The
resolution then continues:
"The continuation of the bill would
produce a great loss Of revenue for
the insular treasury, SO much so that
it would be impossible to sustain the
present government. The financial
condition of the country is such that
it would be impossible to impose new
taxation, direct or Indirect"
The resolution next approves res
olution adopted in May, 1908, which
asked the admission of sugar and to-
bacco to America without any conces-
sions hereafter and insists upon the
adoption by congress Of that resolu-
ton. In conclusion it protests ire
spectfully but energetically" against
free trade for America here and limi-
tations on Philippine products in
America. The resolution also declares
that the Philippine legislature cannot
in any possible manner devise new
means for producing an income to
maintain it's government.
The resolution was adopted without
division.

pentine worth $41.60 and wood pulp
worth $40. or yield Of $50 from $3.50.
worth Of raw material.
The story OF the discovery reads
like a story book. Walking one day
In 1890 through the pine woods Of the
northern part Of Minnesota DR.. Frank
forter noted an old stump which gave
out an odor strangely unlike that Of
the ordinary turpentine. He took q
sample back to the university, showed
it to a friend in the faculty who hap
pened also to be friend OF Weyer-
haeuser, and mentioned his desire to
experiment further. Within a week
milk can filled with the pitch of the
Norway pine-for it was that that he
had taken home-was sent him. He
set to work The then known process
Of distillation consisted in boiling the
wood until the pitch was separated
and the wood left as charcoal. Neither
of these substances had much COM
mercial value. He then happened
upon the present process. Later he
erected small experimental plant
near his home and capitalists, inter-
ested, came to his assistance The
discovery of the process of making
wood pulp came like flash.
The experimental plant to be con-
structed this summer is not to deter
mine the value of the processes. That
is settled. It is only to ascertain how
larger plant should be built.

salary at; $125 a month and expenses.

A FAMOUS BEAUTY
SPECIALIST
Gives Advice to Women Lacking in
Energy and Vitality: "

Thousands of women are using
toilet preparations unsuccessfully.
Cosmetics fail to improve their !
thick, muddy compilations or to
Danish the pimples, blackheads and
crows feet. ..~-
No wonder. Their trouble lies
far deeper than the skin. They
have bad blood, and bad blood in 80
per cent. of the cases arises from
inflammation of the mucous men,
brane. Their blood is filled with
poison which is certain to break out
in unsightly humors and blotches-
while pale drawn faces, deep circled
eyes, STOPPING shoulders and weak
backs complete the story Of suffer-
ing and despair. ...--e....s....
Inflammation of the mucous men,
brane is catarrh. Danish catarrh

magic, pain vanish, eyes will brighten,

for women can only be obtained
through Rexall Mucu-Tone, the one

to, has this to say of Mucu-T Tone:
Il can strongly endorse the
claims made for Rexal Mucu-T one7
as cure for systemic catarrh. It's
tonic effects are remarkable. It
builds up the strength and restores
| vitality. If women who are tired
and run down, lacking in energy
and vitality, will use Mucu-T Tone,
they will praise it as I do for its
strengthening and healing qualities"
| Rexall Mucu-Tone works through
the blood, and acting directly upon
the muco-cells-the congestion and
and inflammation of which are the
sole cause of catarrh- causes them
to expel the poison and to resume
their natural functions. Thus the
membranes are cleansed-the blood
purified and revitalized.

new PROCESS
FOR WOOD pulp
Important Discovery at Uni
yersity Of Minnesota.
LUMBER WASTE IS USED

Experts Say Under the New System
United States Will Produce One
Hundred Times as Much Wood Pulp
Paper as Was Believed Possible.
Experimental Plant to Be Con-
structed Immediately.
Minneapolis, March 29.-One of the
most significant industrial discoveries
of the age was admitted by Dean
George B. Frankforter Of the college
of chemistry of the University Of Min
nesota. It means, say experts, that
the United States will produce a hun
dred times as much wood pulp paper
as was believed possible. It means
that every cord of fir lumber will
yield $40 profit on by-products alone
and that the greater part of the so
per cent OF a tree now wasted will
be turned into dollars and cents. It
means huge plants and new industries.
G. A. Smith of the C. A. Smith Tim
Der company is almost the sole sharer
| with DR.. Frankforter of the process.
So convinced is he of the enormous
| commercial value of the discovery
that an experimental plant will be
constructed this summer in the West,
to be followed Immediately by the
! building of mammoth plant.
The processes are already patented,
two final patents having just been
granted. After the experimental plant
| is in operation it is probable that a
large company will be formed, but
there is no stock for sale.
DR.. Frankforter has experimental
on these processes for twelve years.
The perfected process consists Of TAX
ing small pieces of waste wood or
sawdust, laying it on steel incline
over furnace and subjecting it to a
chemical process Of distillation. Car
bon disulphide, or gasoline, is poured
over the sawdust, dissolving the tur-
pentine and resin, which pass off as
gases into a coil of pipes leading to a

CHOCTAW INDIAN REVIVAL
Unusual Occurrences Fail to Interrupt

Durant, Okla, March 29.-An unus-

ligious revival among Choctaw Indians
In Bryant county. Almost at the open
ing of the meeting an Indian woman
gave birth to a baby and the event
occasioned no interruption.
The second day Raymond Wilson
and Ben Wade, fullbloods, quarreled
while under the influence of liquor
and Wilson killed Wade. This inter-
rupted the service only for a few mo-
ments during the fight. Three Indians
were converted by the minister and
the meeting closed.
