Wore Sacred Garb.

In the Oyster River section of Mil. ford, John Hubbard, familiar figure at the Plainville camp meeting for many years past, died Thursday.
 MT. Hubbard was known by many who did not even know his name, for whenever he appeared on Sunday he was, most emphatically, a marked man. He had deeply religious con- victions and one of these was that a Christian should wear a distinctive garb on the Lords Day. Therefore, on that day, MT. Hubbard wore a white gown, girt about the waist with six. inch sash of orange ribbon. Of con. siderably more than medium height he seemed taller than he really was when arrayed in this striking costume and when he went by trolley from his home at Oyster River to the camp ground he attracted no little attention.
 On certain holy days other than Sun- days the color of the gown or of the sash was changed but the combination of white and yellow was thet which he generally wore. In his younger days he served during the Civil War in the navy and always he was respected among his townspeople and neighbors to whom his appearance i'll a white robe once a week was no novelty.

SABRA MARVIN HUMPHREY
Canaan's Oldest Resident Dies at the
 Age of 92.


 Mrs. Sabra Marvin Humphrey, Ga naan's oldest resident, passed away Tuesday morning, in her 93d year, at the House of Mercy, in Pittsfeld, where she had been for the past month. Although it was known that her death was simply a matter of a short time. still the news of her passing was un- expected, in view of the fact that the latest reports of her condition, received Monday night were that she was rest. ing comfortably and showed no indica- tion of immediate demise. A great change took place in the night, how ever, and she sank rapidly and passed away early Ill the morning. The re mains have been brought here, and the funeral will take place this afternoon at 2:3O o'clock, at the Methodist church. of which she had been mem. Der since its organization. Interment will be in Lower Cemetery. Rev. L. E. Travis will officiate.
 Mrs. Humphrey was born in Corn wall, October 26, 1923, the daughter of A!son and Clarissa Marvin: but in her infancy the family moved to the east part of this town. Later she and her mother lived for many years in small house situated on premises now owned by Dr. Ross. She was one of a large family and to her brothers and sisters and their children she minister ed in many helpful ways. In Novem- Der 1875, she married Griswold Humph- rey, who died five years later.
 Mrs. Humphrey was a quiet, un- ostentatious woman. possessed of a fondness for good literature, and keen interest in the news of the day. She also had 8 quick appreciation of any thing humorous and her bright, srarkl- ing eyes will De remembered by all her friends, of whom there are many.
 Her interest in and devotion to the Canaan Methodist church dated back to it's early organization, W hen she and a few other faithful ones labored zeal. ously, thereby making possible the building of the 'Church on the Cor ner." She continued her regular at tendance at all the services until about a year ago, when the infrmities of ad vanced age made that impossible.
 Six months ago she had fall which injured one hip so seriously that she had since been helpless, and about a month ago her condition became such that it was necessary to remove her to the hospital. F.

AMERICAN "ICHTHYOL."

The current publication of the United States Geological Survey, De- partment of the Interior, on the pro- duction of asphalt and related bitum- .ens in 1915 contains a brief note on the subject of ichthyol. Prior to August, 1914, this asphaltic material, which is employed as an antiseptic medlcament, was imported from Flu rope. It is derived from bitumin- ous rock, filled with fossil fish. that is found in the Austrian Tyrol. Ameri- can imports had increased from 24.OOO pounds in 1910 to 60,000 pounds in 1914, but dropped off last year to less than 25,000 pounds. In view of the madequacy of the foreign supply to meet the domestic demand under pres ent conditions, it is interesting to know that in this product, as in oth- CTS, America has come to depend on its own resources. So far as known. there are in the United States no de- poSlIS or aSphaltlc material Of the peculiar type from which ichthyol is derived, but American chemists have solved the problem of supplying the domestic needs in this regard, and favorably recommend substitutes for ichthyol, prepared from domestic materials by synthetic methods, are now available in the markets.
 The Geological Surveys general re- port on Asphalt, Related Bitumens, and Bituminous Rock in 1915,' is now ready for distribution. During the year the natural asphalt of all varie- ties sold at the sources of production in the United States aggregated 75,- 75l short tons, valued at $526, ,49O

1.-THE CHEMICAL POTENTIALI-
 TIES OF THE SOUTH
(From Manufacturers Record,
 Baltimore.)

Chemistry is at the foundation of all material advancement. Without its work agriculture would cease. Into every line of manufactures it enters as the essential factor in success. Without 1t there could be no large de- yeIopment of industrial life.
 It is the chemists work which turns the iron ore into the steel rail, and makes certain the quality of the rail.
 It is the chemists work which turns the raw coal into the finished product of coke and the wide variety of coal tar products essential to the advance ment of civilization, to the widest variety of industrial interests, and in time of war to national safety.
 It is the chemists work which takes as raw materials the endless variety of minerals and out of them produces the finished products which enter into every phase of individual and nationa, advancement.
 It IS the chemists work which takes the eottonseed and makes cottonseed oil and all of its varied products pos sible.
 It Is the chemists work which car reS the raw cotton throuph to the fin- ished form.
 wherever We turn to study the work of ciyiIization's upbuilding we ma the chemists power, and the more the attention given to the util- izatlon of the chemists skill the great CT are the achievements of an indi- "uual enterprise or a country.
 The South has a combination of ad- '"htageS for chemical development greater than any other equal area of 'ilS or any other land, but this sec '.On haS as yet shown less apprecia- ',on or the power of the chemists SKILL and has received less benefit nO'l' the development of chemical ln- plsIrleS r1.. than any other part of the United States.
