More Asbestos Produced

The asbestos-producing industry Of
the United States is growing For
many years we have been the greatest
manufacturers and users of asbestos,
drawing our raw material from Can
ada, but we are now getting some ex-
cellent fiber in our own country. The
most notable feature of the asbestos
industry in 1914 was the development
of new field in Arizona, which is
furnishing grade of fiber that COM
pares very favorably with the Cana
dian. AS the mineral occurs in the
Grand canyon it Is frequently desig-
mated Grand Canyon asbestos, al
though the deposit in that remarka BILE
natural wonder is not yet producing
asbestos commercially. For electric
installation the Arizona asbestos is
even better than the Canadian product,
for it contains a lower percentage of
iron. Asbestos of. low grade has
been produced in Georgia for many
years.

the patients face. Plenty of fresh air
and sunshine are natures great disin-
fectants.
A screen is a valuable addition to
a bedroom to keep off drafts and shut
off direct light from the face.
A comfortable bed, high enough to
be able to lift the patient without
back-strain, is another desirable part
of the equipment.
Bare floors that can be kept clean
with a dust mop, small rugs near the
bed and no unnecessary draperies at
the windows, or upholstered furniture
to collect dust, are most desirable.
Have plenty of pillows, some very
small, to tuck under the elbow or
shoulder; hard one to put under the
knees to keep the patient from slip
ping down in bed is often a great rest.
Never sit on the bed to visit with
patient, or if two callers are present,
sit on either side of the bed, as the
turning of the patients head to look
at each is often fatiguing.
When the bedding seems to tire the
feet paSteboard box or a padded
board may be slipped into the foot
Of the bed to support the bedding.
Often if the limbs are injured the
weight Of the sheet is oppressive.
In giving medicine, rule never to
be forgotten Is to read the label be-
fore pouring out the medicine, and
afterwards before setting down the
bottle. If this rule was never broken
there would be many less deaths to
record. Always pour medicine from
the opposite side of the label as 1t
may be blurred and all name or di-
rections destroyed.
Medicine containing iron should be
taken through a straw, as the teeth
will be ruined by 1t.
Castor oil is easier taken If a bit OF
lemon or orange juice is put into the
spoon before pouring in the oil.
Whatever turn the path may take to
left or right

dark and light,

His Views,

Breaking away from the house, the
man hurried to his club, dropped into
a chair and breathed long sigh of
relief. He had at last got away
from one aunt, three cousins and two
second cousins, up-country guests of
his wife.
A member sitting near laid aside
his paper and asked: How do you
stand on the subject OF foreign re-
lations?"
THAT Is a fair question" returned
the other, "and deserves fair an

can put me down as favoring their

"the mistake you make is in supposing
that you run this place"
Flodie eyed her. We'll, you set me
such good example, you know, Miss
Gale-really-"
The door opened and Hall came out
of the dark room blinking.
Hello, HALL How's the boy?" said
Rosamund, and rearranged her pose
quickly and deity.
Exit Flodie, to dry her eyes In the
office-to swear her innocent little
Darn it all, anyway" to wait and
wonder, to worry and grow ever more
fearful, as the voices reached her ears.
Halls face lighted as he saw Rosa
mund. Despite defects of detail, Rosa
mund, so nonchalantly posed, so fair
and flashing, animate with youth and
confidence, was, as ever, picture in
which he rejoiced. She had none of
Carolyn's severe, clean-cut boyishness,
none OF the fullness of Mrs. Royalton's
artstocratic maturity. She was a wom-
an that women would always shun,
and men fight for, love-and abandon.
Hall looked at her, and her beauty
sank deep into him. A golden tendril
Of hair in front of her ear caught his
glance; and thence to the saucy frolic-
some dimple in her cheek, the little
uplifted corner of her delicate mouth,
her white even teeth, the straight line
of her nose, her 1nely-drawn eye
brows, to her violet-blue eyes, his
quick glance travelled reyeling. He
did not speak till: ''By jove, I'd like
to take you in that pose!"
She, Of course, Immediately changed
it to prove her lack of vanity, but fell
into another as artful Well she knew

"Oh, don't talk shop all the time"
she said. I'm just calling. I've been

and I'm all in. For heavens sake let
me sit where l can't see a camera.

she turned away

ENDURING PLAYS.

How many plays written in the last
dozen years will be considered worthy
Of presentation in the year of our
Lord 4215?
The date itself Is appalling. 1t rep
resents future SO remote that even
the red plague of Jack London's fam
cies may have become a forgotten
episode in the history of the race.
Twenty-three centuries-how can any
such fragile fabric as a drama hope
to reach across the prodigious gulf Of
years?
Yet plays written by the great At
tic dramatists of the fifth century be-
fore Christ make splendid, moving
spectacles today, and when one work
of Euripides was produced in the Har-
ward stadium a little while ago the
school children who attended were
among the most enthusiastic ap-
plauders. For intellectual reach and
firm grip on the elemental emotions
of humanity those old Greeks have
yet to be surpassed.
