STAINS ON CHINA.

The tea and coffee stains that come on
china cups. disiiguring them badly, can
be taken off either by the old way Of
rubbing with damp salt or any OF the
cleaning soaps used for paint, but not
a mineral or sand soap
BE careful not to touch gilt decoration
with either salt or cleaning powder, but
as the stains are usually at the base of
the cup the danger of taking off color or
gilt is small. on common ware it is safe
to use little finely sifted coal ashes,
which many housekeepers have always
on hand for cleaning and securing.

THE COFFEE TRUST.

There's talk at the national capital
of government suit against the Cof-
fee Trust or combination, but there
is a question whether the Sherman
law can be made to apply in this in
stance. That there is combination
backed by American capital which
controls the coffee market in this
country and keeps the price at extor-
tionate figures is we'll known, but it
acts as a sort of agency for, and in
cooperation with, the Brazilian gov
ernment, which under it's valoriza-
tion plan holds the great bulk Of
the coffee product of that country in
storage for the purpose of maintain
ing high prices, and puts on the
market only such quantities of coffee
as will maintain small margin be-
tween the consumption demand and
the available supply. How to get a
legal thrust at this trust is the prob
lem which the government is endeav-
Oring to solve. The trust is practi-
cally a foreign trust, but its Ameri-
can syndicate through which it oper-
ates in this country is to all intents
and purposes an American trust and
monopoly.

Mrs. Harry S. Kingsbury, wife of a
wealthy American, who lives in a
palatial residence on Fifth avenue,
happened along and rescued him.
After taking Tripoli to her hotel
and giving him piece of steak and
some milk she sent him to the
pound. Tripoli was to have been
held for seven days. If at the end
of that time no one claimed him
he was to be given a dose of cyanide
of potassium. Two days after he
was incarcerated he escaped and
Immediately hunted up Mrs. Kings
bury at her fashionable hotel. Again
he was returned to the pound and
again he eluded his keepers and
made his way to Mrs. Kingsbury's
quarters.
Instead of being carted back to
the pound, Tripoli was then adopt
ed. Mrs. Kingsbury and her newly
acquired pet went shopping immed
lately, and when they returned Tri-
poll was wearing a sealskin coat and
a beautiful gold and silver collar,
and conducting himself with such
dignity that his old alley friends
would never have recognized him.
When Mrs. Kingsbury sailed for
New York, accompanying the body of
her mother, Mrs. Adele A. Fabbri-
cote, who died in Paris. he travelled
first-class on the liner. Mrs. Kings
bury is so fond of him now that she
permits him to accompany her when
ever she goes walking or driving.

CLEAN FOOD.

Think twice before you eat dirty
food. 1t is surprising how many
people are willing to put unclean
things into their stomachs. A mo-
ment's thought would show them the
danger of their carelessness.
Don't patronize shops where food
is exposed to street dust Insist that
vegetables and fruit be kept under
cover. Don't buy candy from push
cart and street venders unless you
see that it is protected from dust.
Many a case of illness in children
might be traced to these men. See
that your huskster and your grocer
keep their food stuffs covered. Sug-
gest to them they they use glass
cases for this purpose. Always wash
vegetables and fruit before eating
them.
Consider what goes to make up
street dust-the germs of almost
every disease, dried saliva and all
kinds of filth. You are very careful
to keep a cut or scratch free from
dirt so as to avoid lockjaw. 1t is
just as important that you should
avoid dangerous diseases by seeing
that your food is clean.-Karl de
Schweinitz, Executive Secretary OF
the Pennsylvania Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis.

OUR ASBESTOS INDUSTRY.
Production Increased in the United
States by 100 Per cent. According
to United States Geological Sur

Production Increased in the United
States by 100 Per cent. According

yey.
1t is a matter of more than ordi-
nary interest that the production of
asbestos in the United States is rap
idly increasing. 1t more than
doubled in 1911 and the increase
was largely in fiber of the serpentine
(chrysotile) variety, of which the
best grades are spun and woven into
Hreproof fabrics for theatre curtains,
motor-brake bands, and the like,
where incombustible material must
be used.
The finest asbestos thread yet
spun carries a small percentage of
cotton and runs over miles to the
pound. The total production of as
bestos in the United in 1911 was T.
604 short tons, valued at $119,935,
and it came almost wholly from Ver-
mont and Georgia. A little came
from Wyoming and Virginia. Canada,
however, produced thirteen times as
much asbestos in 1911 as the United
States, and we imported for our
manufacturers 62 per cent. of all
Canada produced and 83 per cent. of
all she exported.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the asbestos industry in re-
cent times is the growth of the de-
mand for the lower grades. Being
6reproof and an electric and heat in
sulator, asbestos is extensively used
in the building arts, and the interest
in this sort of manufacture at a num-
Der of points throughout the country
indicates that the industry is de-
Veloping rapidly.
The most striking new application
OF asbestos was made last September
in Louisiana, in extinguishing a
Burning oil well from which 10000
barrels of oil were escaping daily.
The finest asbestos yet found in
the United States, comparing favor.
ably with the best from any part oi
the world, is in the Grand Canyon ot
the Colorado in Arizona; it is not
however, easily accessible.
The United States Geological Sur
Vey has just published a report or
the production of asbestos in 1911
by j. S. Diller, who describes briefly
some of the applications of ashes
tos and its occurrence in the several
States. Copies of this report may b'
obtained free by application to th'
Director OF the Survey at Washing

Plant in Commercial Operation in
Southern California--United States
Geological Survey Issues Summary
of Potash Investigations of the
Year.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has just published, in a report on
potash, a description of potash-pro-
ducing plant which is now in actual
operation in the United States. This
plant is located in southern Califor-
MIA about 80 miles north of San
Diego, where it was stated that oper-
ations in the commercial extraction
of potash from kelp or seaweed
would begin about March 1. The
plant is owned by the Coronado
Chemical Co., which has been work
ing on the potash-kelp problem for
several years. 1t consists of four
furnaces capable of treating 5000
pounds of dried kelp every "a hours,
and additional furnaces are under
construction with proposed total
capacity for treating $4,000 pounds
of dried kelp day. The year 1912,
the report states, will probably show
a substantial output of potash in the
United States, in addition, of course,
to that obtained from wood ashes.
The Survey report containing this
description of what is in fact the first
potash development in the United
States is published as an advance
chapter from Mineral Resources "
for I911, and is a summariZation by
w. c. Phalen of the progress of the
Investigations carried on by the Gov
ernment under the special appropria-
tions made by Congress last year as
well as the progress of private inves-
LEGATIONS. 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 SIC, 6,269,40S in 1911, and the value
of imports of Chilean nitrate was
even greater. This latter mineral
has also been the subject of investi-
cation by the Government. Both
potash and Chilean nitrate are prin-
cipally used as fertilizer and at the
present time we are entirely de-
pendent on foreign countries for the
supply of both.
