worst case Of Catarrh can be eradicated.
1t is not unpleasant to use. and at the
same time II is entirely harmless, and
can be used by man, woman or child.
Just as Catarrh is contracted by breath
ing cold or dust and germ-laden air. just
so this balmy antiseptic. smoking remedy
goes to all the affected parts of the air
passages Of the head, nose, throat and

cines fail-they do not and can not reach
all the affected parts.

or lungs, choking, stopped-up feeling,
colds, catarrhal headaches; II you are
given to hawking and splitting. this sim
pie yet scientific treatment should cure

Columbus, Ga., Contracts to Build
 Dam at Tallulah Falls

B. H. Hardaway, contractor Of Colum- Ebus, Ga. has received a contract from the North Georgia Power company to build the dam Tallulah Falls, on the Tal- lulahN river.
 The dam is to be of concrete construc- ton, 11O feet high. and about 200 feet wide. It is to be built across, giving a head. or drop of 60 feet, and it Is esti- mated will develop about 90,0OO horse power
 Instead of having the power house at the dam. as is the custom of most com panies, this company proposes to erect one a mile or more away, and convey the water through a tunnel under the hills to that point This tunnel is to be J500 feet long.
 The construction of this dam, it is stat ed, will not injure the scenic beauty of the falls of the Tallulah river, as there are any number located up and down the stream at that place. and it is cal culated that by having the power nar- messed it will prevent the economic ioss of approximately S25O.0OO,000.
 Mr. Hardaway will not bore the tunnel at Tallulah falls. nor build the power house, doing only the constructing or r:le dam,

Sawdust

From the Manufacturers Record.
 The world wide movement for the economic utilization of the wastes of seems just at present to be centering to a large degree about saw dust Study of this subject has made progress in this couptry, and for fifteen years attempts have been made in Germany to dispose of profitably by deriving charcoal and wood alcohol from 1t. These efforts, however, according to Consuls-General A. NJ. Thackara and R. r. Skinner, have been comparatively unsuccessful be- cause of the character of the sawdust and for technical reasons, and they further state that the delay in the man ufacture of fuel briquettes from saw dust is partly due to the high develop ment of the industry of briquetting hard and soft coal, and even peat, which have q greater caloric strength then the sawdust. But several patents for bri- quetting sawdust have been granted and machines to make them are manu- factured, the purpose of the different processes being largely to make saw dust more available as fuel for sawmill boilers, though production for other in- dustrial and household uses is also con templated. In some of the processes dependence is had upon the tar, pitch and rosin contents of the sawdust for a Dlnuef. put Inere are several patents for using special binders, one of tn em providing for the briquetting of sawdust and ground-up wood refuse under high pressure with caustic cellulose- -sulphite refuse of wood pulp manufacture. An other briquette is made from the refuse of quebracho wood, logwood, fustie wood, chestnut and oak steeped in lye,
 arefully dried and then pressed
 Bricks of ordinary clay and sawdust burned in an ordinary kiln are made, the sawdust being destroyed in the burning, leaving an eXtremelye porous, but otherwise sound and light brick. A cement and sawdust brick is made by mixing slake lime, mortar, burnt pulverized hydraulic lime, sulphuric acid, plaster of Paris and sawdust, tn 0 white and black lime acting as ag- glutinants. the sulphuric acid making the mixture hot, the plaster of Paris drying it quickly and the sawdust giv- ing it body.
 Sawdust. combined with blood and solutions of glue, starch, flour and aluminic sulphite. is used in making artificial woods for holdings and other fnishings taking a high polish and combined with chloride of magnesium to form material possessing the quail cussion of these processes as work ed and Skinner in Daily Consular and Trade Reports is of timely interest in view of the progress being made in this country toward turning sawdust and other lumber wastes to good account.
