iosis In State Each Year.

DIR. G.. A. Conrad, of Houghton, dele
gate from Houghton county, at the in
stance Of the municipalities of Hough-

Family physicians have been i'm the
habit Of giving other causes of death
for their tubercular patients, thus pro-
tecting the family. especially those car
,ying insurance or those wishing Ia
obtain insurance. This is being over
come and the state society is in a posi-
lion To get more accurate data.
There are at present ten local sani-
toria and one state hospital for tuber-
cular patients in Michigan. The So
ciety has put up 74S beds for tuber-
cular patients. one hundred and fifty
beds have been supplied to be used In
connection with all state sanitoria. In
addition 10 this, tents have been fur-
nished by the society for those who
must sleep out of doors. There are PSI
newspa pers in the state assisting in the
campaign. Seventeen counties in thu
state have already enlisted in the an
nua Red Cross seal sale. Eleven city
agents have been secured and - coun'
ties of the state will be reached
through the schools.
The Steel Production company %
Lansing, will give as prizes four sani'
tary gravity drinking fountains to thu
county which sells the highest number
of seals per capita during the sale
| The state society will within u few
days select trained and skilled nurs'
| Who will give her services one month
to each Of the counties selling tn
largest number of seals per capita.

NO SNOW PREDICTED FOR
REMAINDER Of NOVEMBER
TEMPERATURE FOR MONTH HAS
BEEN THE HIGHEST FOR
SIX YEARS

Il is the belief Of Weather observer
Cowdrick that no snow will fall dur
ing the remainder of the month. The
weather report for the next few days
Is fair. and as the temperature in the
Northwest has been very high the last
few days, Mr.. CowdriclS does not be-
leve We will have any snow until the
first of December. at least. The tenn
pcrature i'm Montana yesterday was
higher than that I'm Mexico or Texas
and Mr.. Cowdrick saws that this will
probably mean fair weather here for
a period lasting nearly a week
The temperature for the entire
month of November has been higher
than il has ben for the last six years
in November averaging IS degrees
above normal for the last 2l days and
avera ging . degrees aoove normal FOR
the first five days. In only one in
stance I'm the month Of November has
the temperature fallen below normal
and that was in 1910, when the reading
was below the normal mark for six
days.
In only two years out of seven has
snow fallen TO stay permanently be"
fore Nov. %. In 1910 the first snow
was on Nov %, and in 1911 the snow
came To stay on the f2th of the month.
According to these statistics il would
seem as though there was an excellent
chance of breaking the record this year
in late fall Of snow, as the latest which
it has ever come has been on Deem
Der 6.
In the month Of November Of the
year 1912 the highest temperature re-
corded for the month was 80 degrees
above normal, and on Nov. p, 1871!
the highest was G5 degrees above.

TO ANALYzE STAMP SAND.
Geological Survey Will Endsavor TO
Separate Sodium From II.

A half pound sample of stamp sand
has been sent by Secretary q. I. Price
of tho Copper Country Commercial club
Ia the United States geological survey.
Washington. - G. II is To he thor
oughly analyzed with a view to de-
termining the feasibility Of It's use for
a number OF purposes among the chief
81 which Is the manufacture of build
ing brick
The Sand Lime Brick company at its
Ripley plant some years ago engaged
extensively in the manufacture OF
building brick from stamp sand. The
sand made brick Of unusual strength
and great powers of resistance The
one ana only draw back was the large
sodium content Of the sand. This So
dunn, at certain periods Of the year,
cxuded from the brick and coated II
with white frost, which, although
not permanent, and i'm no way detract-
ing from it's durability, gave the walls
an undesirable notified appearance.
Mr.. Price several days ago appealed
10 the United States Geological sur
vey for its assistance in counteracting
this handicap, with "a view Ia encour-
aging the general use of local huge
deposits of stamp sand for brick maxi
ing. The director writes that he is of
the opinion that simple process may
be used To free the sand from sodium,
and he intends, with the sample which
the secretary is furnishing him. Ia
make exhaustive tests with this end in
view.
The stamp sand. owing To its at
tractivc color, makes peculiarly
handsome building brick. The sand is
| so plentiful here and so accessible to
/ plants located along Portage lake, that
It's use will prove to them great add
vantage. At present il is necessary tC

adding somewhat To the cost of man

here in Portage lake a mammoth brick
plant working up into building blocks

mills, making what heretofore has
proven costly incubus whose proper
disposal presented "A problem valu'
