OCCUPATIONS THAT CURE
Many Callings That Bring Health, III
stead of Disease, TO Workers.
Chicago Record-Herald.)

(CnlCdSO heCOTu-deGdlu.1
But few people are aware that there
are occupations that bring health, just
as there are others that bring disease
in their train. There is, for instance,
the coal tar occupation.
Tar, with it's strong, clean odor, acts
as an antiseptic, and those who work
in tar are immune to epidemic diseas-
es. They are aso very robust. The
feeble and anaemic, taking up this
trade in it's various forms-the making
of dyes, the preparation of disinfectant
soon become strong.
Steel workers also profit in health
ON their occupation. The molten
steel gives off certain gases that have
t benefcent effect on the lungs and
nasal passages. Though subjected to
extremes of heat, steel workers prac-
tically never get consumption or ca
tarrh.
Dairying is another faithful occupa-
ton. Jenner, of smallpox fame, dis
covered that dairymen never get small
poX. 1t is also true that they practi-
cally never get consumption.
Bakers, if their bakeries are but
clean and airy, follow a trade that fat
tens the veriest skeletons. Butchers
are noted for their rudy, robust build,
they, like the bakers, SEEMING to absorb
through their pores the nutriment they
work in. Chocolate and cocoa makers
in like manner are stout, healthy folk.
1t is we'll known that sealing wax
making is good for cOnsumption-that
for incipient consumption it is, indeed,
almost a certain cure. All sealing wax
factories have on their waiting list a
number of consumptives, anxious to
try the occupational cure

PRESIDENT WILSON ON CAPITOL
HILL
(Harper's Wekly.)


If Thomas harrington Macaulay had
been alive and we'll and in Washington
on April the 8th as he used to mark
time, we should have had a fitting poT-
trayal of the memorable event which
signalized the entirely new freedom OF
pretty new President. Beef-eating
serveants-at-arms would have stalked
glumly about,gre lords of the plains
would have strolled in from the head
waters of the noble Missouri, ambassa-
doris and ambassadresses would have
appeared respondent in kilt and lace,
bright eyes would have blinked at the
unaccustomed splendor with W, and
more than one lady would have been
carried out in a fit. But Mr. Macau-
lays calculation that the Republic
would die before he did have gone
wrong, we are compelled, as usual, to
turn to our neighbor, the Sun, for a
pen-picture sufficiently vivid to satisfy
a natural craving for details.
Be it understood that April the Sth
was the day on which the speech-mak-
ing spirit of John Adams was what tho
present alleged Secretary of the Navy
would call reincarnated President Will
son had served due notice upon Con-
gress that he had graciously accepted
tn invitation which Congress had neg
lected to send to him and would ap-
pear at high noon or Whereabouts TO
deliver an impromptu address upon the
state of the Union in persona grata.
1t was very pretty performance ali
through, and nobody has found any
fault except our hyper-critical neigh
Dor. the Times, which fears that the
innovation may lead to unfortunate
would certainly be deplorable." But
there is nothing in that. Members Of
Congress are not only invariably polite
but they are also we'll aware, as Mr..
Dooley once remarked, that they get
their real message when they go to the
White House to inquire about the post
offices. Neither is there any point in
the Times subtle insinuation that the
Presidents underlying purpose was -
air his vanity" He told plainly
enough in the words quoted above why
he went in persona grata He was SICK
of living like Robinson Crusoe on an
island, and he wanted to show that he
was really a human being like other
human beings" so that hereafter, al
ter enjoying his pleasure and privil-
ege," he would cease to feel abnormal
Nobody but the Times, or perhaps the
Evening Post, would think Of CRITICS
ing an act so wholly natural and un-
affected.

INVENTIONS YET TO COME
(NeM Yor SUM


1t was announced few weeks ago
that a distinguished chemist of the
Imperial School of Moscow had solved
the problem of making artificial rub
Der, and that he could sell the new
product at about 80 cents pound.
Yet in spite of this widely disseminat-
ed piece of news, the price of rubber
remains pretty much the same. The
reason may be found by examining the
Patent Office records During the
past 10 or II years hundreds of pat
ents for artificial rubber have been
taken out.
Substitutes have been made from
petroleum, from coal tar, turpentine
peat, from nitrated linseed oil and by
treating cereals with phyalin. The
latter invention made a considerable
sensation so long ago as 1906; yet
Judging by the constantly increasing
demand for the natural product, it has
had little effect upon the real rubber
market
The chemist, working in his labo"-
atory can take any substance and an
alyze it-that is break it up into its
original constituents and tell you
what they are, and how much of each
element the substance in question IS
composed of. But when it comes to
building up the original substance out
of its prime constituents, there he is
at sea- By dint of long and patient
experiments, or perhaps by pure
chance, Re may succeed in reproduce
ing some few natural products, but
that is as Ear as he can go.
Indigo dye took many years to syn
thesize. A German chemist accom-
plished it at last, but the curious dis
coyery was made that it blended with
the natural products made from the
indigo plant, the color produced was
both more durable and brighter than
that made by either dye alone. So ar
tificial indigo has not yet ruined the
indigo planter. Artificial camphor has
! also been produced. 1t is now made
| from pine-tree turpentine.
But the chemist has not yet succeed
ed in syntheszing gutta-percha. The
commodity grows yearly more rare
Enormous quantities are required for
making golf balls and for the covering
of submarine cables. A fortune awaits
the clever man who can make artificial
gutta-percha at a price which will al
low it to compete with the juice ii
the dichopsis gutta.
Cork is another substance of every
/ day use which seems to defy the in
ventor The only substitute for cork
i is paper treated with paraffin way
But such a cork could not be used foi
a bottle of wine So far nothing has
been artifcially made to compete with
the bark of the cork oak

WE RAISE DATES
From Country Life in America)

Vt IO4i1 COuntly LIlc III AiIlGl lGst.i
Arizona, the land of many surprises
and delights, has presented us with
another rare fruit--the date. Climatic
conditions in which the date palm
grows and natures perfect fruit are
found only in a few places. In the
south central part of Arizona along
the valleys of the ella, the Salt and
the Colorado rivers, the conditions ale
very favorable.
The sections where the best results
are secured are at elevations of from
sea level to $500 feet, though the
earlier varieties will ripen at higher
elevations, where the growing season
is shorter When properly irrigated
the date palm will grow luxuriantly
in any of the soils in the valleys of the
Southwest.
AS a crop for alkaline soils the date
palm promises a revenue from hitheT-
to unproductive areas, and a profitable
one at that. Palms at five years have
produced in one season over $40 worth
of dates. The dates of the finer yarie-
ties sell readily at % cents a pound.
The color of the fruit ranges from a
golden to a vivid red, these tints
changing as the fruit ripens, the yell
low to amber and the red to deem
black
Bearing palms have many punches
of dates, varying from four to four
teen or more, according to the season
and to the age of the palm; forty
pound punches of dates are not un-
usual. Different varieties ripen from
August to January. During the sea-
son of ripening the lunches of dates
are protected from birds and insects
by coverings of thin cloth. The palms
require little care after becoming well
rooted and are hardy, withstanding
frosts that injure other fruits.
There are two principal methods of
gathering the fruit-one, cutting the
punches from the palm when the first
dates begin to ripen and laying them
in the sun during the day to finish
the other and better, though more eX-
pensive method is to leave the fruit on
the trees and go over each bunch ev-
cry few days, picking off the fruit as it
| is perfectly ripe.
Date palms are both male and fe-
male, the sex being determined by the
! form of the blossoms. When the bloom
of the male palm opens it has dried
appearance and the flower cups are
filled with a fine white powder. This
/ is the pollen. The punches of bios
SONS are cut from the male palm and
the pollen is scattered over the bloom
of the female palm by shaking.

TWO MEN OF WORTH
augusta Chronicle.)

augusta ChroniCle)
Two of Georgia's most notable men
have contributed thirty years of their
lives to the welfare of the States I'M
fortunates. They are DR.. l.. NJ. Jones,
superintendent of the State Sanitar-
ium, at Miledgeville, and Mr. L, ]. La
mar, the steward The former has
followed the rounds of duty year after
year until a career of wonderful worth
has been rounded into one of the most
famous works ever rendered by any
man, for day after day he has gone the
rounds personally, ministering to the
needs and wants of poor, deluded, suf-
fering humanity, and today nearly four
thousand patients at the sanitarium
hail him as the wonderful healer and
soother. His gentle demeanor, his I'M
firing care, has established for him a
place of lasting gratitude and love in
their hearts. The record made by Mr..
Lamar is one equally remarkable, and
while deviating somewhat from the
work done by DR.. Jones, it is equally
! important, for it takes master hand
to dispense the millions entrusted 20
his care in such manner as to pro-
vide food, shelter and care for the
countless thousands who come and go
and pass away The utmost economy
is necessary in order to extend the field
of usefulness of the funds, and those
who have visited the sanitarium and
know of its wonderful management us
compared with other institutions fully
realize that a great work is being done
And more than this the fact that a
discrepancy of two cents stands in
this long business career adds to its
brilliance. Well may the people Of
Georgia take pride in having such men
in its borders, native sons of the state,
who have devoted time and talent and
life itself in jealous work caring for
those unable to take care of them
selves, ministering TO those who ret d
tmimlstrations most. And best uf al,
too. the statement is given out by one
who Knows, that prospects for both Of
these noble men indicate that they will
Lc spared for many more years tc
pursue their labor of love on behalf of
la e,
yet awhile and pass away to waare
the blind shall see and the deas shall,
hear ard crooked things shall be MADE
