WITH ROLLER AND HAMMER
Difficult Methods to Reduce Gold Leaf
TO q FairyIike Thinness

Gold leaf. of which such large guam
titles are used by picture frame max
ers as well as by other trades, is made
as follows: An alloy of the desired
color having been formed the gold is
melted in crucible at a temperature
well above the fusion point. II Is
then cast into an ingot and nattened by
rolling between a pair Of powerful
steel rollers, into a ribbon one and
half inches wide and ten feet Ia

tened it is annealed and cut into pieces
OF about six and a half grains each.
and placed between the leaves Of n
"cutch." which is about half an inch
thick and three and half inches
square, containing about $50 leaves of
tough paper, manufactured for the
purpose. This is beaten on for about
twenty minutes with a seventeen
pound hammer. by which the gold is
spread 10 the size of the clutch. Each
leaf is then taken out and cut in four
pieces. These are put between the
leaves of "shoder" four and a half
inches square and three quarters of an
inch thick, containing about 720 skins,
which have been worn out i'm the
mold or finishing process described
later The shoder requires about two
hours beating with a nine pound ham,
mer. Each leaf is again cut i'm four
pieces and placed between the leaves of
a "mold," composed of about $50 OF

Inch thick. the contents of one shoder
filing three molds. The material has
now reached the last and most difficult
stage of the process. During the first
hour the hammer is allowed to fall
on the center Of the mold.
This causes gaping cracks upon thcl
edges of the leaves the sides of which
rapidly coalesce without leaving any
trace of the union after being beaten
upon. At the second hour when the
sold is about the 150,O0Oth part of an
inch in thickness, il for the first time

on leathern cushion for that purpose.

story told by Mrs. Agnes Glow
erinia to the authorities at Ele-
roy, ILL.,, where she is under ar
rest, on her own admission that
she shot and killed her brother
in-law in Avoyelles parish. is
confirmed By citizens here con-
versant with the circumstances
of the shooting, which occurred
at Cottonport, La, in the early
part of 1911.
In an alteration the woman
shot Nick and Wick Laviano. her
brothers-in-law, Wick dying
later. The woman was struck
when one of the men turned the
pistol on her and sent a bullet
into her side. The woman es-
capped while convalescent and
nothing was known of her

having been discovered preva-

Help Wanted.

Postmaster Chas. w. Lyman
is the proud possessor of a nice
little farm located a short dis
lance north of Rayne, which he
has accumulated under the pro-
tectiye administration Of Hon.
VIM. Laft, and likewise the Hon.
Teddy Roosevelt. Here Mr.. Ly-
man has been won't to spend his
limited leisure hours in the past,
watching the eoWslip through
the daisis, horsefy up the creek
and other innocent diversion of
mind so essential to the poise of
one entrusted with the cares and
responsibilities of government
authority. But the dream is Ger.
There has been an election in
the land, and sterner things pre-
sent themselves to officials of the
presidential class, hence Mr..
Lyman now wants a barn on his
place, and has been putting in
the leisure hona'' since the
count in construction of same,
but he is making haste slowly, and
has asked The Tribune to appeal
to the candidates, who wish to
succeed him to come out Monday
and give him a barn raising lift.
He says that if all applicants
will respond he can finish a large
building during the day, but
warns them to bring their din
ner, as it will be impossible for
one to feed the throng.

Diphtheria
Preventive Measures.

Examination and treatment by
a physician of every child having
even slight sore throat.
If no laboratory is at hand
the State Board of Health will
have examined all specimens
sent by physicians
When found that a patient has
diphtheria, isolation in a sunny,
well ventilated room should be
provided. All needless articles
which would carry infection
should be removed from the
room. Nc other person beside
the nurse and physician should
be allowed in the room and they
should take special precaution
not to carry the infection.
When used early. in sufficient
dosage, antitoxin will, with
almost certainty, control real
diphtheria.
There is little or no danger.
Antitoxin is now made under the
inspection of the National au-
thorities and its purity is as
sured.
Deaths from diphtheria in
many cases results from igno-
rance and neglect.
