WASTE TURNED TO USE.
Story Of Sauerkraut Factory and its
Worthless Juice.

Story Of Sauerkraut Factory and Ito
Worthless Juice.
A simple illustra ton of how apparent
waste may be utilized is shown by the
story of sauerkraut factory on
Long Island. In the manufacture of
this German delicacy the juice is press
ed out of the cabbages and, as the
vegetables are about 60 per cent water
or juice. the waste was more than
one-half. This juice was allowed to
go to waste
1t was an industrial chemist who
collected this juice and discovered that
1t contained much decomposed vegeta-
BILE matter. There was an organic
acid in the juice that seemed worth
recovering, and by concentration and
filtration the acid was obtained and
refined. Today this organic acid forms
an important factor in the tanning Of
skins and in all textile manufacturing.
At first thought it would seem as If
the sauerkraut industry was too
small to be of Importance in recover
ing such an insignificant byproduct.
but there are alone on Long Island up
ward of twenty such factories. and
each one uses some 100000 pounds
of cabbages. From each factory there
are recovered annually $4,000 gallons of
juice. or. in all, 100000 gallons Of
waste. Multiply these figures by ten
and we begin to get an idea OF what
this factory economy means, for there
are similar factories around Chicago.

Two first-class acts of vaudeville were
seen by the patrons of the Pavilion
last night. Elsa Ford is one of the most
pleasing singing condolences ever seen
at the Pavilion. all her numbers being
nicely put over and pleasing the audience.
She uses few local jokes, all of which
were on live topics and which caught the
audience instantly. "The Flying Henrys"
made the crowd sit up and take notice.
These two young men do the most dar-
ing aerial act ever seen in the city. Their
work is rapid, so rapid that one is apt
to think that they are counting with
death. From start to finish there is not
one halt, and as they swing out over the
audience locked feet to feet, one is quite
liable to grasp the seat, hold his breath
and hang on for dear life. The feature
picture of the new program of pictures
which comes to-day is entitled "The

with all its intense excitement being a

If Interstate Commerce Commissioner
Charles A. Prouty follows up his an
nounced intention by retiring from pub
lie service and returning to his Vermont
home at Newport, it will be serious
loss to the commission on which he has
served so efficiently. Commissioner Prou-
ty is, by general consent, one OF the
strongest men Vermont has sent out for
some time; and he has been of great
service to the United States government
in his present position. The announce
ment that he intended to retire was made
by him at the recent meeting of the
Vermont association in Washington,
d. c., and it came with startling sud
denness to his hearers. However, none
will gainsay that, now somewhat past
middle life, he has earned the leisure
which may come to him in the surround
ings of his youth.

"a String of Pearls" tBiographl-A
picture of contrasts whose purposes is to
show something of how tenement house
is organized on its human side. What
we mean will be much clearer to those
who see the picture. Life is an organ
ism; we are in truth one. All of us
can see ourselves in others; even the
rich man of the picture, the man who
paid quarter of a million for the string
of pearls, could do that. He said, 81
have worked for my money, let them
do So" On the other hand. it needs some
humanizing experience to make us recog-
nize Others in ourselves, TO make us
sympathetic. Hard luck is very apt to
do this. That is why the poor are char
liable to the poor. 1t was on the thread
of human sympathy that the spiritual
pearls of the tenement were strung.
The picture shows these in contrast with
the material pearls owned by the rich
mans wife.
