les, also colds, and find it to be the very

pounds EACH but fifteen years later
the output of this by-product of the
cotton-seed oil industry had increased
by more than 800 per cent, the number
of bales turned out from the crop of
1914 being S569OO.
Hull fiber is obtained by a treat
ment of the hulls which breaks up
their structure and makes available
the shot fibres that have not been re-
moved in the delinting process. Sew
eral establishments have been en-
gagged in the production Of hull fiber
for a number of years, and additional
ones are taking up this line of manu-
facture.
The publication of statistics of cot
ton production and consumption has
called public attention to the desira-
bility of similar data concerning nu-
merous other and totally different
commodities. The census bureau is
receiving numerous requests for such
data concerning various articles the
production of which has been stimu-
lated by the European war or by eco
nomic conditions due in a measure to
the war.
There seems to be a general i'm
preston that the census bureau is en-
gagged in the collection of such sta
t'stics. Director Rogers wishes to
emphasize the fact that the work Of
his bureau is defined and limited by
law. He appreciates the importance
of statistics concerning the annual pro-
duction Of clothing and food products.
of chemicals, of metal and wood prod
ucts, etc, but congress has not author
lied the collection of such statistics.
and until it does so, his bureau can
not undertake the work.

ACLERGYM STORY
Came Near Losing His Lde--How He Escaped

We quote from another letter. dated
December 10, 1906: Il praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case, and they praise it also"
In a letter dated November %,
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: Pc
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintances
know that. l am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter, dated January 13.
1910. he says: II shall ever in the
future, as in the past, be ready to
speak Ia praise of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. | believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter of September 8, 1911.
we quote a few words: 81 am still
among the living. AS to Peruna,
do not feel that I have words to ex-
feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
Of God, of prolonging my life for
more than tan years"
We quote n still later letter. October
81. 1912. He says: Il took a severe
cold three weeks ago. l at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking it two
weeks. / am now better. l consider
that Peruna has carried me over a
dozen years of life. l always stand
ready 10 answer any question in ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter dated
January 2, 1913: Dear Friends: L
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year, and
that your medicine may prove a
to many as It has to me.
am yours as ever, G. w. Roberts,

1t is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The eio-
Iuence and pathos of these letters
ire more convincing than arguments
lr afIidavits. Who can doubt the
,lergyman's story? Who can doubt
hat Peruna saved his life?

1t will be observed that Rev. Rob-
erts waited two years after he began
to use Peruna, before he wrote the
above letter to The Peruna Co. So
that his apparent recovery could not
possibly have been temporary relief.
In a later letter to The Peruna Co,

GOVERNOR OFFERS TO
COMPROMISE WITH FRANKLIN

Oklahoma City, Aug. 15.-It de-
veloped this morning that Governor
Williams yesterday submitted 4 com
promise proposition to w. NJ. Frank
lin, clerk of the supreme court, by
the terms of which Franklin would
reduce the salaries of several EN-
ployes in his department Secretary
of State J. l.. Lyon was the COVER
nor's peace emissary. In language
too hot to be put into tyyc the su.
preme court clerk instructed the bear
er of the olive branch to tell his eX.
cellency he would not Gu. the salary
OF a single man in his department,
and had no thought of compromise.
1t is talked about the state house
today that the imbroglio with Frank.
lin has so worried the governor, that
this is the real reason, instead of
the capitol building contract, he has
postponed his departure for Boston
and may altogether abandon the va
cation trip.
Before a group of state officials
Governor Williams yesterday gave out
the first intimation that he might en-
ter into a compromise agreement to
bring about a settlement OF the acrid
controversy and strained relation
ship between himself and w. NJ,
Franklin, clerk of the supreme court
of the state.
Il am willing" said his eXcellency,
that Mr.. Franklin shall have one
clerk at a salary of 81 500 a year,
two at $1,5O0, two at $1,000 and one
at $500. That would give the office,
including Franklin, seven employees,
and that is enough. He is making a
stand on the proposition that the
legislature made the appropriations
for his office. 1t did so on the propo-
sition that he would carry on the
business of the office at an expense
covered by the appropriation"
The governor said that where one
depar tment was experiencing a rush
of work clerical aid had been eX-
tended from other departments The
election board was doing rothing at
this time, he said, and he had sent
Nash Setter, a clerk in that depart
ment, to aid in handling the rush
of business in the office of the state
highway department, a hookkeeper
had been loaned from the state agri-
cultural department and the governor
had sent a man from his cwn office.
The general talk was along the line
o, economy, and Attorney General
Freezing remarked that the .appropri-
alton for his office would permit his
employment of another assistant at
a salary of $2,4OO, but he would try
to get along without inc1 easing the
number of employees in lis depart
ment
The governor intimated that there
would be icebergs along tie equator
or in some hotter climate before he
would otherwise considec cOmprO-
mise with the supreme court clerk.

COTTON USED IN MANU-
FACTURE OF EXPLOSIVES


Washington, d. c., August 16.-The
European war has created an insatia-
BILE demand for ammunition. New es-
tablishments are being erected for
the manufacture of explosives, and
the possibility of increased profits is
inducing firms engaged in other in
dustries to enter this field. This state
of affairs of course, has an important
effect on the price of cotton, which
is largely used as material in the
manufacture of explosives.
Director Rogers, of the bureau of
the census, is carrying on an extern
sive correspondence in his endeavor
to obtain statistics of all establish
ments using cotton as IA material.
Consumers of cotton naturally desire
to know the total quantity used in all
lines of industry, and they can aid in
the compilation of accurate statistics
by furnishing the census bureau at
Washington with the names and ad-
dresses of establishments which have
begun the use of cotton as a raw ma
terial since the commencement OF the
European war. Mr.. Rogers says that
great many letters are being re-
ceived. requesting information as to
the quantity of cotton and linters used
in the manufacture of explosives.
Some express the fear that the bureau
is not aware of the extent to which
these materials are now being used
for this purpose The director desires
to state that the census bureau is
aware of the greatly increased de-
mand for cotton linters, and has been
endeavoring to collect complete sta
tistics concerning the total quantity
used by all consumers of cotton, In
compliance with the law, which re-
quires monthly reports on this sub
ject.
Unfortunately it is impossible to
supply statistics as to the amount
explosives alone. The act of con-
gress, authorizing the collection of cot
ton statistics, directs the census bu
reau "to collect and publish statistics
concerning " the quantity of raw
cotton consumed in manufacturing es-
Establishments of every character ~
While some manufacturers of eXplo-
sives purchase the raw cotton and sub
ject ii to the necessary process of puri-
fcation in their own establishments,
many of them buy it from other es-
which purify and treat
the fiber so as to render it suitable
for use in the manufacture of eX
plosves. Many of these establish
ments prepare cotton not only for
manufacturers of explosives, but also
for manufacturers of wholly different
products, and it is not feasible for the
Census Bureau to obtain separate sta
tistics of the amount of purified cot
ton turned out by such establishments
for use in the manufacture of explos
ives.
There has been a great increase IN
recent years in the production of lint
ers and hull fiber. Linters are obtained
at the oil mills by reginning the cot,
the object being to remove
the short fibers so that the fine par
ticles of the kernel will not be carried
off with the huls, making possible a
greater yield Of oil and meal. The tota.
quantity of linters obtained from the
crop of 1899 was 1854 bales of 500
