Great General Was Quite Unconcerned

This story Cf when General Ulysses

his first great battle in Virginia was

H. Sharpe, who, in the last years of
the Civil war, was a member OF Gen

General Sedgwick, who met his death
three days later while planting some

greatly disturbed lest Lee should

driver proved to be the hold-up. Rob
bling himself, he pretended to be the
victim of bandits. To carry out his
deception the driver had fired one
shot into the wall and was about to
fire again. Just then Jerry got an
idea. He suddenly backed the wagon,

drivers leg. The seeming mystery
surrounding the robbery was solved

Experts Opinion Is That Blood

Cheap Grades of Shoes Made From
Skins Not Properly Prepared Oft
en- Cause Trouble to Their
Wearers.

Gently utilized scientific process, there
may Turk a grave danger to health,
Blood poisoning is the danger to be
feared, and according to an experts
opinion blood poisoning in form ex-

was rendered very seriously i'll.
While attending police court wear
ing a pair of boots of the kind warned
against, he collapsed, and his skin
turned from It's natural color to blue
and then to black.
He was taken to hospital, and
oxygen had to be administered to re-
yiye him and it was not until a week
afterwards that he was we'll enough
to be sent home.
Tanning leather by means OK cnro-
mic acid is the source of the trouble.
An analyst on the staff OF the
L.eathersellers' company's Technical
college described the dangers of this
form of tanning.
The process was invented by Prof.
Schultz in 1887, and 1t Is known as
chrome tanning. AT that time they
could not make it practical success,
and it remained in the experimental
stage for many years.
An American firm then took IT up
and 1t is now the pioneer OF the pro-
cess. The poisoning is due to chro-
mic acid, and occurs when the tanning
is not carefully done.
The skin first goes into bath OF
chronic acid, and is then changed
from the acid to a base-bath, in which
he acid is neutralized by reduction
with hyposulphite. If the chronic
acid is thoroughly neutralized the
leather is then perfectly safe and
harmless.
But if any free chronic acid j; left
in the leather, blood poisoning may
result, and in the manufacture of the
cheaper grades of leather there is a
