Safety In Summer Drinks.

On the whole, then, we have reason
to be proud of the progress that has
been made in the production OF sum-
mer drinks. Ingredients actually harm
full or even deleterious have been
mostly eliminated. The chief danger
that besets the habitues of the soda
fountain is lack of cleanliness on the
part of the dispenser, especially in the
rinsing of the glasses. With due re-
gard for this and for the tempera-
ture and condition of his stomach the
thirsty one may face the fountain
without fear and pick out from the
fancy names upon the mirror what
ever seems most enticing at the time.

ALLOW NOTHING TO WASTE
Everything of the Slightest Value IL
Utilized by the Thrifty People
of France.

What becomes of old sardine boxes,
tomato cans, meat cans, fruit cans,
and cans of all kinds?
In this country they are usually tum-
bled into Some waste lot OF down by
the side of the road, where they are
left in unsightly heaps.
But the people do better in France,
where nothing is allowed 10 go to
waste. They gather them up, and
use them-to cut into tin soldiers.
The making of tin soldiers is not an
insignificant or unimpOrtant business,
by any means. There was published
not long ago an item saying that
the manufacture had reached great
artistic excellence" and that "a GER
tain eminent German officer has found
1t possible to represent military OPP
erations on a large scale by their
means" He has "thirty-five thousand
tin soldiers foot soldiers, horsemen,
and artillerymen, with all necessary
equipments, and toy scenery; and with
them he goes through evolutions, and
works out interesting problems of mil
itary tactics.
In France, too, the old boots and
shoes are collected, and every part Is
used over again. The work is most
ly done by convicts in prisons. They
take the boots and shoes to pieces and
soak them; then the uppers are cut
over into children's shoes; or, if they
are too far gone for that, peculiar
kind of pressed leather is made by
some chemical action. The nails are
saved and sold, and the scraps go to
the farmers to fertilize the soil.
Who would have thought it posi-
BILE to make anything out of old saws?
Yet it is said that many of the finest
surgical instruments, and some OF
those used by engineers, are manufac-
tured from the steel that first did duty
In saws. The steel of saws is of the
very best quality and finest temper;
and since it is good in the first place,
it is always good.
After that it is easy to believe that
there is a place in Canada where they
make paper from sawdust. 1t is kind
of paper pulp, rolled out in great
sheets, for the purpose of sheathing;
that is, for using on buildings before
the clapboards are put on. Wood pulp,
made of poplar and spruce, has long
been used, mixed with the rags In
the paper mills, in the process of man.
ufacture; but it is a new thing to
convert sawdust into paper.
Where the largest quantity OF lead
pencils is made, the sawdust OF the
cedar wood is saved and distilled. "A
valuable oil is extracted, every ounce
of which is sold at good figures"
So an old sardine box, tomat, can,
q cast-off shoe, and rusty pruning
saw may be made over into something
entirely new; and a heap of sawdust
and the waste from lead-pencn man
ufactory may furnish employment and
be of actual use in the world

I walked up a hill, it gave me a severe

MUSSEL MUD AS FERTILIZER
Organic Remains Of Shellfish Secure:
Fertility to Poorest and Most
Exhausted Soil.

Consul Frank Deedmeyer writes
from Charlottetown, p. e. l., Canada:
In most of the bays indenting the
shores of Prince Edward island are
found extensive deposits of mussel
shells, so called locally, being organic
remains of countless generations of
oysters, mussels, clans, and other BIZ
valves of the ocean, and of crusta-
ceous animals generally. The shells,
usually more or less intact, are found
Embedded in dense deposits of mud
like substance and this combination is,
q fertilizer of high value and potency.
It supplies small quantities of phos-
pilates and alkalies. An ordinary
dressing of it secures fertility in q
striking manner to the poorest or most
exhausted soil. The shells decay slow
ly, year by year, throwing off film
Of fertilizing stuffs. The deposits
around Prince Edward island vary
from five to twenty-five feet in depth.
They are taken up by dredging ma
chimes worked from RATS in summer
or from the ice in winter.
