USES OF TIN CANS
AMONG THE MALAYS

| In the United States we fire the
tin cans into the garbage heap and
they are carted off and in most cases
destroyed. In some of the larger
cities they may be sorted out of the
heaps of refuse and shipped to
Germany where they are manu-
factured into little tin soldiers and
other toys.
The German trade in this respect
is looked after by the scavengers of
all Europe, and great saving in
raw material effected.
While the people of this country
are wasteful as regards tin, the
Malay peninsula, which produces
about 65 per cent of the output of
the world, consumes the production
to the fullest extent.
About $4,000 tons of tins are
produced each year, valued at SAL
600, 200, and of this amount the
United States consumes about one
fourth.
The amount of this tin that comes
back to the Malay peninsula in the
form of tin cans is interesting. Of
the approximately 50. 100000 worth
of goods shipped from the United
States to this region, about $780,
900 of IT comes in tin cans of all
varieties. 1t requires 1900. 900
one-gallOn tin cans to bring the
petroleum. and the purposes for
which these tin cans are used after
the oil has been consumed is varied
and peculiar. Thousands of these
cans are used as water buckets.
The interior of Malay, TAMIL or
Chinese home contains American
tin cans of all sizes and shapes, put
to some useful purpose. Sleeves are
made by puncturing holes.
Thousands of dust pans are made
from the cans by removing one side,
cIrving two sides, and attaching a
large wooden handle. Baking and
cooking utensils of all kinds are also
skillfully manufactured, and may
be seen in thousands of homes. For
storing articles Of food against ant
onslaughts the tin can is blessing.
Hundreds of men are engaged in
manufacturing from the tin cans
tunnels, pepper and salt casters,
clcoanut and nutmeg graters, lamps
biscuit tins, tea and coffee pots,
ladies, mugs, cake patties, Chinese
pipes, oil pumps, money boxes, and
the frame work for false teeth.
So necessary has the American tin
can become to these people that to
be deprived of its manifold uses
would cause a real hardship.
To ship tin cans to the Malay
peninsula would seem like carrying
coal to Newcastle. Yet it is done
every week in the year. Americans
are prone to waste both at the bung-
hole and the spigot. Salt Lake

July is a tribute to Caesar. One
day. with some other insurgents,
he talked by the pillar of Pompey
on things of political urgcnce. He
was just on the point of explaining
the key to some government riddle
when a party of regulars jumped
him and cut him in two in the middle.
There was Decius Brutus, the
speaker, and Cassius, boss of the
Senate, together with others insis-
tent upon some political tenet.
"The party forever!" they shouted,
and what with that terrible slasher
Servilius Casca great Caesar as well
had been run through with hasher.
At any rate Antony found him
cut up into fodder for fishes, and
begged this request of the Romans,
who granted the least of his wishes.
And thus it has happened and shall
be so long long as the Tiber runs by
the pillar Of Pompey that Caesar
shall live in the name of J-ly.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deaf ness is the result and unless the in- flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in- famed condition of the mucous sur races

1t is "a hopeful sign that in the late

To him is due the democratic victories

is weary of machine politics, whether
bearing the republican or the demo-
cratic label. Party lines are no longer

ness sense in dispensing charity.

That a large majority Of the people
of Mexico sympathize with the revo-
lutionsts there is no question. The
trouble with the insurgents is lack
OF cohesion-no organization. Each
band is a mob acting Independently
of every other. On the other hand,
the government regulars and rurales
are fairly well organized, and take
their orders from an executive head.
The only chance for the insurgents to
succeed is by the weight of oyerwhelm-
ing numbers, but it is not probable
that sufficient number will take the
field to make this possible.
