IS SECRET OF EVERGLADES
once a Volcano Top, the Place 10
Now Remarkable for It's
Fertility.

One Of the strange facts about the
Everglades region Of Florida is that 1t

crest is formed of massive limestone,
usually covered by a mantle of sand.
In this formation are numberless pot.
holes. which vary in size from a few
feet to thousands of acres; also count
less lakes Of fresh water, springs and
frequent subterranean streams and
pools.
A few miles north of Cape Sable is
IN outcrop of limestone which projects
to Lake Okeechobee. In this outcrop
IS an extensive shallow basin extend
Ing 13O miles north and south and
about 10 miles east and west, while
the altitude Of its rim is IL feet above
mean level low tide in Biscayne bay
and little less above the Gulf Of Mex

AS result Of tho weather and flow.
ing water the rim has been worn into
fantastic shapes. The depth Of the
basin varies from one foot at the rim
to twelve feet in places, but generally
the rock floor is from a depth of one
to six feet. And there is the secret
OF the fertility of the Everglades.
Above the entire rock floor rises a lay.
or Of muck, formed Of an alluvial de-
posit and of decayed vegetable matter.
This deposit varies from few inches
to several feet in thickness The wa

springs that in turn have their source

Six Carloads Of Chjckenx.

Thirty thousand chickens passed
through western cities recently from

cobs Wasted.

Of the list Of materials most 9ross.
~ wasted IN America each year car
OIL and corncobs are quite near the
head of the column. 1t is estimated
that there are 10,249,4e car wheele
IN the United States, counting those
on the freight and passenger cars and
the locomotives. These require SO
gallons Of oil year each. on an aver.
age. making the grand total Of 307,.
4e3,8so gallons used to keep running
the wheels in this important branch
Of commerce.
To soak up this vast amount Of
OIL 51.247,310 pounds of cotton waste
are used. In demonstration Of what
goes to waste in this manner. 60
pounds Of oily refuse was subjected to
pressure and over seven gallons Of
good oil was collected. An average Of
eight gallons Of oil squeezed from each
100 pounds Of waste means a total
value Of $1,366.595 in a year, which is
decidedly worth saving.
Discarded corncobs are another neg.
lected source Of wealth. These can
be converted into wood blocks in
many forms, the most valuable Of
which are lumber, railroad ties and
the basis Of many kinds OF furniture.
The corn crop of last year produced
approximately 1,650,O0o. 900 bushels Of
cobs. These pressed into board would
Yield many million feet Of lumber;
Into tie they would make enough In
number to supply several thousand
miles Of railroad.

Once more the Quaker Health
Teacher and 7lis wonderful Quaker Ex-
tract have done a noble and praise
worthy act. They have saved the
lives of two sweet children, a girl and
a boy, the daughter and son, respect
lively, of George A. Lewis, an en-
ploye of the Saunders Fish Co., resid-
ing at 1926 E. Jackson street. For
a long time these two children were
getting puny, were very restless at
night, would grit their teeth, had a
changeable appetite, and were dull
and listless. Their father had gotten
several kinds of medicine for them,
but nothing succeeded in removing
the cause of their trouble. He finally
called On the Quaker death Teacher

was told that the children were af-
flicted with stomach worms. Mr..
Lewis procured a bottle of Quaker
Extract and Immediately began giving
it to both the children. What was
the result? In a few days the little
10-year-old girl expelled numbers of
stomach worms, from 5 20 Z inches in
length, and about the same time the
younger brother passed many small
pin worms. The horrible pests had
been the cause of all their trouble.
It was almost beyond belief to see the
change for the better that took place
in these two children They eat and

they are active and playful.
