PINE STUMPS FOUND USEFUL
Found Rich In Turpentlne and Resin
Several Products Are Secured
From Material.

The stumps Of the Norway pine left
on the fields years ago in the trail Of
the woodsman are now being turned
to account by many establishments in
Michigan and Wisconsin. These
stumps are rich IN turpentine and
resin, and the process utilized is what
is known as destructive distillation,
which is quite simple and interesting
owing principally to the great variety
OF OF materials which are secured from
this refuse Of the fields. The stumps
are cut into blocks and loaded on iron
cars Of cage construction and fred in
a retort. The heat drives out the mois-
ture and oil and opens up the fiber Of
the wood. The water comes off first,
followed by the resin, then turpentine,
succeeded by a mixture of tar and tur-
pentine, and finally the flow consists
of pure tar The average yield is 26
gallons of turpentine and 81 gallons of
tar from a cord of wood weighing
about 1888 pounds. The residue con
sists Of 40 bushels of soft charcoal.
From this material there are OBJ
tanned the following products:
Sheep dip, tree spray and disin,
fectant, single stain, wood filler,
embalming fluid furniture polish

SUFFERS REMORSE FOR THEFT
Theft Committed 20 Years Ago Man
Writes to storekeeper, Asking
Forgiveness.

Devils Lake, N. D.-Remorse for
having stolen an apple from the Quail
ity department store OF this city 20
years ago, when she was a school
girl, caused a st. Paul woman, who
signed her name as Mrs. f. c." OF
Dayton's Bluff, st. Paul, to send the
local merchant letter asking for
giveness.
The owners Of the store say they
know who the woman is, but refuse to
disclose her identity.
More than twenty years ago." says
the ST. Paul woman, Il was school
girl living in Dakota, and you were
running the store at the trading point,
now Devils Lake. While on my way
to school one day l saw that no one
was looking and took a big apple
from a basket In front Of your place
of business. l was converted last Fri
day night in a revival meeting being
held in one of the churches in this
vicinity and l want to make my wrong
light both with you and my maker"
The woman explains in the letter
she is the mother of several children
and that she is afraid unless she
makes everything right they will have
the same instinct that prompted her
to steal the apple, and they possibly
may develop into men who will be a
menace to society.
The owners Of the store have mailed
the woman a letter granting full for
giveness for taking the fruit.

Newfoundland Man Suggests Way Of
Keeping Steamer Lanes Safe
From Monsters.

London.-Among the mass Of sug-
gestions that have been made in con.
sequence Of the loss of the Titanic,
one Of the most curious comes from
resident in st. Johns, Newfound'
land, James e. Grant, who has had
extensive acquaintance with icebergs
along the coast of his own country.
In an interview he said:
Il would suggest that an iceberg
destroying service should be estab-
lished without delay, under the con-
troll of an international board. My
proposal is not that you should wait
for the icebergs until they make their
appearance in navigable waters, but
that you should attack them at their
source, just as they break away and
drift into the gulf stream, and that
you should blow them to pieces with
powerful explosives Icebergs are
formed by the overflow of fresh water
from the high banks on the coast Of
Greenland. The water freezes, the
ice Is added to the snow, and the
spray Of the sea, and the bergs becom

stream, and up to the present have
been allowed to come into the North
Atlantic, where they are an obvious
danger to all vessels plying there.

MORE ORPHANS TO EDUCATE
Pennsylvania VIII Have Only One
School, Where Once Were
Forty

Scotland, Pa.-Pennsylvania soon
will have no soldiers orphans to edu-
cate. Twenty years ago there were
about forty soldiers orphan schools
in the state; now there are but two
one at Chester Springs and one here.
With the commencement at the
Chester Springs institution the school
there will be abandoned and the re-
naming charges transferred to the
Scotland school, in which about 300
are enrolled.
Since 1854 over 10000 orphans have
been cared for at a cost of over 3d.
100000. There are now only a few
over 500 soldiers orphans in desti.
tute circumstances in the state; in
1903 there were 1882 enrolled, and in
1869, 1881.
The question has already arisen as
to what will be done with the Scot.
land school when its usefulness for
children of soldiers is ended. The in,
dustrial training department is one OF
its chief features. Boys work half OF
each day in the machine shop, the
wood working shop and the printing
department, while both boys and girls
obtain practical education in tailoring
and dressmaling, telegraphy, stenog
raphy, baking and laundering. All
the uniforms for both boys and girls
are made by the students themselves

METALS IN FOOD SUPPLIES
Lemonade, One Of Most Popular Amer
lean Drinks, Said 10 Contain
Poisonous Lead.

a pure food investigation by DIT
carlo Formenti, Of Milan. has dealt
with poisonous metals In food sup
piles. Most metal salts are poisonous
ana are liable 20 occur In acid foods
and drinks from chemical action on
containing vessels. Lemonades and
other acid drinks so popular in Amer
lca' and even carbonated waters, often
contain lead. This comes not only
rom metal utensils used In preparing
the drinks, but also as impurities In
tartaric acid and In carbon dloxlde
gas; and even IN minute quantity
taken often may be a real danger, as
lead tends to accumulate in the tissues
OF the body until It causes illness or
even death. Copper was found In
nearly all canned green vegetables, its
use Tor tinting such products being
emphatcally condemned. The finding
OF much manganese in certain vine
CARS was a surprise, but special In
curry showed that potassium perman-
ganate Is used to correct the taste OF
cheap yinegars made from refuse and
rotting fruit. Though the manganese
is probably not harmful, vinegar from
such materials should be prohibited
Arsenic In wines sometimes comes
from insecticides used on vines. and
the use Of arsenical insecticides was
lately forbidden in France. The In
vestigator recommends aluminium
cooking and containing vessels as
quite harmless.

WHY BABIES DIE
Woman Charges Kindness Kills
Many Of Them.
Mru. L. S. 3. Robinson In Address De.
eiares Infants Mould Thrive on
Care Given TO High Breed
OF Puppies.

st. Paul.-'If We thought half as
much of our babies as the breeders OF
thoroughbred puppies do Of their
animals We would not tolerate the
shaking. fondllng and cuddling with
which We seek TO quiet and amuse
them" said Mrs. L. S B. Robinson OF
the Baby Welfare association, at a
meeting Of the Bethel Womans club.
No man who has high grade pup
pies will allow any one to fondle or
fuss with them. The father who losses
his baby up to the ceiling and makes
him laugh until he gets fairly hyster-
lcal is responsible for much OF the
chronic nervousness which develops
as the child grows up r
1T Is a crime to bounce and toss
a baby until the food in It's stomach
is so shaken up Il cannot be digested.
The tendency to shake our babies
is due to American nervousness. The
babies cry and we do not know what
to do for them. It is far better to
put them on the bed and let them
cry. II they are comfortable and are
not hungry, It will do them no harm,
whatever and It will be better for
them. Babies are very easily trained.
1T Is often a sacrileglous statement
to say when a baby dies that God
took it, II died through the fault Of
the mother, who will not do what she
should for the baby. More babies are
killed by kindness than anything else.
The mother does everything the neigh
bors, friends and relatives tell her.
America has the highest infant NOR
tality rate Of all the better governed
countries. One bab- in every Ave
dies before It reaches the age of one
year. Food is the most important
thing to the young baby, and 1t
should not be fed too much or too
often. We need city Ice company
which would furnish the poor fam
lies with a few cents worth of ice
each day, for Ice is an absolute neces-
sity. Milk which has been exposed to
the warm air becomes poisonous.
Then flies are the cause Of much
sickness to babies and to adults. II
the fly does not fall into the milk
and drown, to be fished out, it crawls
along the edge of the pitcher, and then
the milk is poured out over the germs
1t leaves. II we cannot afford screens
we can at least afford netting, and
this will keep out the flies. Better go
without a new hat and let the chill
dren go without new clothes and get
some screens.

All the way from Denmark comes
