FEED STABLES WARNED
Regarding Use of Pan Instead of Meas
ure In Dealing Out Feed.

Hugh II. Henry Of Chester, commits
sioner Of weights and measures send
ing to feed stables notices relative to
the section which reads;
"Whoeyer sells or offers for sale a
less quantity than represented or sells
in a manner contrary to law shall be
guilty Of fraud and shall be fined not
more than Si0D or in case Of second
ofFense not more than $500 Mr.. Henry
adds:
at is a source of complaint by pat
rons Of many feed stables that when a
certain amount OF feed is ordered to
be given to the horses. the person filling
the order uses an old pan, etc. instead
OF a legal measure wherefore the pro-
pIietor Of the feed stable is unjustly
or Justly accused of cheating both the
horse and the man.
For your interests | call this mat
ter to your attention and would sug-
CAST that you provide yourself with ac-
curate apparatus and he careful to meas
uc or weigh ont and deliver the amount
ordered so that you may not unwittingly
violate the law or lay yourself open
to criticism which results in injury to
Your own business This department
will gladly test your measure upon re-
quest"

POTASH IN 1911.
Plant in Commercial Operation in South
ern California.

The United State geological survey
has Just published, in report on potash
description of a potash producing plant
which is now in actual operation in the
United States This plant is located in
southern California about 30 miles north
OF San Diego. where it was stated that
operations in the commercial extraction
OF potash from kelp or seaweed would
begin about March l. The plant is owned
by the Coronado Chemical CO., which has
been working on the potash-kelp prob
lem for several years. 1t consists OF
four furnaces capable of treating G,000
pounds of dried kelp every "A hours, and
additional furnaces are under construc-
ton with a proposed total capacity for
treating $4,000 pounds of dried kelp a
day. The year 1912, the report states
will probably show a substantial output
of potash in the United States, in addi-
ton. OF course, to that obtained from
wood ashes.
The survey report containing this de-
scription OF what is in fact the first
potash development in the United States
is published as an advance chapter from
Mineral Resources" for 1911, and is a
summarization by w. G.. Phalen of the
progress of the investigations carried on
by the government under the special APP
preparations made by Congress last year
as well as the progress of private in
vestigations. Several patented processes
for the extraction Of potash from rocks
are described, and directions are given
for making field tests OF supposed potash
rock.
The potash imports into the United
States are shown to have had value
of Sl6,249, 40S in 1911, and the value
of imports of Chilean nitrate was even
greater. This latter mineral has also
been the subject of investigation by the
government. Both patash and Chilean
nitrate are PRINCIPALLY used as fertilizer
and at the present time we are entirely
dependent on foreign countries for the
supply OF both.
A copy of Mr.. Phalen's report, Potash
Salts, 1911" may be obtained free on
application to the director of the geo.
logicay survey, Washington, D. G.

WHEN PRIDE is JUSTIFIED.

Far too many mortals are vain and
self satisfied because of some temporary
mercenary advantage, and in their eager
ness to display that advantage at every
opportunity often destroy their greatest
blessing the physical counterpart Of
sunshine. which is their own health.
Neglected colds, irregular meals, over
loaded stomachs and night revelry result
in shattered nerves. depressed yigor and
fatigue, all of which invite decline and
disease.
Each person stands sentinel at the
portals OF his own health, and he who
guards, protects, strengthens and builds
up a rugged constitution is justified in
pride and finds therein his own recon-
pense-the capacity to enjoy the full
ness of life.
The strain of modern commercial and
social living taxes strength and energy
and in maintaining the highest self-etii-
cheney we should not only cultivate deep
breathing. out-of-door exercise, regular
ity and temperance in all things, but
study the greatest OF all physical power
creators, which is body nourishment. In
