OiSTlLLATlON OF WOOD
ALCOHOL AND TURPENTING

Washington. Dec 15.-During the
year 1909 according TO report issued
today by the census bureau, LEGS. 900
cords OF wood were consumed in the
industry of wood distillation. an aver
age value OF 1921 per cord.
The distillation OF hard woods was
distributed through Il states. but 81
per cent of these woods was supplied
by the states of Michigan. Pennsylva-
MIA and New York. The average val
ue of the alcohol manufactured from
hard wood was 81 cents per gallon,
moro than double the minimum price
Of Is cents in 1907
Turpentine was the leading product
of soft wood distillation. and in the
product of this industry, Georgia, Flor
ida and Alabama contributed 6S per
cent.
The use OF sawduSt and other mill
waste as material in 1909 was sub
stantially greater than in any produc-
ing year. and the Indications are that
the Industry will develop largely in
future in the direction of utilizing this
class of material.

an average OF eight pounds in weight
and IL centimeterS In height as
against six pounds and IL centlmeters
for those who do not smoke The
non-smokers gained 20 per cent in
lung capacity as against eight per
cent for the smokers. but the smokers
surpassed them In total strength by
having an increase of 103 units 10

But In scholarship the non.smolsers
forged TO the front and reversed mat
tsrs. AT entrance, the smokers aver
aged 50 in their studies as against
81 for their competitors In the two
year period the smokers averaged 62
per cent with per cent of failures
as against 60 per cent with only 4
