The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1915-09-16
(By M. BENNINGTON)


From Washington comes the report
that for many years past foreign doc
tors in China have endeavored to con-
vince the Chinese that there is little
or no virtue in ginseng as a remedy
beyond its having slight tonic quail
ity, but although they have been able
to introduce foreign drugs and medi-
cine they have failed to reduce the
use of ginseng, as the Chinese still
have great faith in It.
The thing most likely to convince
the Chinese that ginseng is not indis-
pensable is the price, which is still
very high. The market for ginseng is
SO extensive that overproduction
would seem to be impossible as a re-
duction in the cost to the consumer
would undoubtedly increase its use.
Direct trading between American
producers and dealers in Annoy would
be impossible. The entire supply of
ginseng for this port comes through
Hongkong dealers, who thoroughly un-
derstand the grading and sorting Of
the roots to meet the local trade.
Grading is most important in mar
keting ginseng, and as it varies great
ly throughout China, it requires eX-
perts who are familiar with the pref
erences of the various localities.
The difficulty for the American
grower is the changing requirements
of so many small markets. The fact
that wild ginseng is supposed to con-
tain stronger and purer properties than
cultivated largely accounts for the diff,
ference in price paid for the wild and
cultivated roots. The supply of wild
ginseng usually comes from eastern
Siberia and Korea, and occasionally
from Manchuria. The roots are larger
and different in appearance from the
American root.

SAFETY IN USE OF ASBESTOS
ton Against Fire, But Has Many
Other Good Qualities.

Asbestos is a potential lifesaver.
We do not all realize, perhaps, that
the fireproof theater curtain is made
OF asbestos. which is rock matter, but
nevertheless almost as soft and pill
able as cotton or wooden fabric.
Asbestos has, of course, many other
uses. It's misunderstanding and its
tibrous structure make 1t one of the
most useful minerals for many and
various structural purposes.
1t is used In making lumber, roofing,
plaster and stucco.
Houses that are built largely of as
bestos afford their occupants not only
complete protection from fire because
1t Is "nonconductor," but assure
them also comfort of freedom from
extreme heat and cold
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 Cana.
da, but we are now getting some ex-
cellent fiber in our own country.

Emperor William is probably god
father to more boys than any other
person on earth but he is so well able
to stand up under the strain that he
has issued an order that presently
will increase the number of his pro-
teges.
The rule formerly has been that he
would assume the responsibility Of
being godfather to a seventh son, born
to any family, provided the boy was
seventh boy by one and the same
marriage. Under this ruling many
seventh sons have had to do without
the honor, because the mother had
been twice married.
The emperor now has modified the
rule and announced that he will be-
come godfather to any seventh son,
regardless of the number of mar
riages the mother has contracted, pro-
vided all seven boys are living.

Boss Tweed's Old Home to Go.

Boss Tweed's old home at Fifth ave-
nue. and Forty-third street, New York,
soon will give place to the 16-story
Office structure of the Guaranty Trust
company. The house, one of the city's
landmarks, covers a space Of 62x123
feet and was sold by the notorious
Tammany chieftain to Richard 7. Will
son some years ago for s1,200,000 The
exterior of the place has not been al
tered since Tweed escaped from the
police. He requested that his guards
permit him to pack some clothes.
They waited long time at the front
door and then realized that the pris-
oner had fed Tweed had escaped to
Forty-third street and then to the
river, where his yacht was ready to
sail. He reached Spain, was caught
and returned to the United States.

Watermelon Srup Is Possible.

According to the fruit juice special
lists Of the agricultural department a
delicious strip for table use can be
made from watermelons thus giving
the watermelon grower a by-product
from the surplus watermelons he has
in his fields. This by-product can be
used in the manufacture of ginger cake,
homemade candies and as a sweeten-
ing and flavor for ice cream, as well
as for most purposes for which strip
is used in the home. The strip is
reddish brown in color and is sweet
and well favored. Specialists point
out that the Juice Of watermelons con
tains only about seven per cent Of
sugar, but the ease with which the
juice can be extracted offsets the low
sugar content.

has become an industry of such pro
portions that there are few people who
have never heard of it. Ginseng is
a low herbaceous plant native in the
rich, moist soil of hardwood forests
from Maine to Minnesota and south
ward to the mountains of northern
Georgia and Arkansas. 1t is cultivat-
ed commercially in New York, Penn
sylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin and
southwark to Missouri, Tennessee and
North Carolina.
The seed is sown in the spring
or autumn in drills six inches apart
and about two inches apart in the
row. The plants remain in the seed
bed for two years and are then trans
planted, being set about eight inches
to seven years TO obtain marketable
roots from seed, If roots are planted
a marketable product will be obtained
sooner according to the age and vigor
of the stock used.
The roots are set about by inches
apart. When the roots have reached
marketable size they are dug. washed,
sorted and dried.
The price of ginseng varies with
market conditions. Roots of southern
origin bring less than those from
northern localities. A small quantity
of ginseng is used by the Chinese res
idents in America, but the principal
market is found il China

SURELY "PUT FOOT IN IT"
Dog, Imprisoned In Bakery. Did Some
Damage In His Desire to Be
Released.

In Portland. Ore, there is bakery
window that usually contains tempt
ing array of cakes. Sponge cake.
pound cake, lady fingers, puffs and,
indeed, q dozen other kinds OF sweet
bread, served to make the mouths OF
the children fairly water when they
go past the big window The other
day a gentleman went into the bakery
to leave an order, and with him went
his dog-a good-sized animal, OF
frisky disposition. When that gentle
man came out he shut the door behind
him, forgetting that he had left his
four-footed friend and follower inside
the bakery.
AS for the dog, he was in a great
way. Seeing the door closed against
him, he got into a state of mind or
dinarily described as crazy" In his
eagerness to keep track of his master,
he looked around for a place of exit.
Now, one of the sashes in the big
show window aforementioned was
raised an inch or so, and the dog
therefore made dash for the window.
His first leap took him on top OF
fine, frosted wedding cake, and his
paws sank into it just as boys
boots break through crust of snow.
Finding himself still in trap, and
being unable to break the plate glass,
the dog began to hop around, with his
forepaws against the panes and his
hindfeet down among the precious
cakes. The more the people both with
out and within shouted, the more the
dog danced, and the more the rich and
ELECTROMAGNETIC products of the
oven suffered. Talk about putting his
foot in the put his foot through
a cake at every jump. At the height
of the excitement the baker, who had
been away, entered. The dog saw the
door fly open, and, quitting the window
at a bound he darted away. Moth
ing more was seen of the animal, who
probably did not know what havoc he
had made in the unfortunate bakers
window.
