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 a new field in Arizona, which is
furnishing a 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 remarkable
natural wonder is not yet producing
asbestos commercially. For electric
installation the Arizona asbestos is
even better than the Canadian product,
for it contains lower percentage of
iron. Asbestos of low grade has
been produced in Georgia for many
years. t,

Doc White.

KEGS felt free and easy in their COM
petition against the White Sox. Their
hopes We're speedily dashed, however,
for White had scarcely gone away
from Chicago when Ed Cicotte bobbed
up to cast upon the New Workers a
spell almost as potent as the old White
hoodoo itself.
A failure. at Boston, Cicotte has
been of pretty much no account with
Chicago except when pitted against
the Yankees. Boston has given him
some unmerciful lacings, Detroit has
his number, Cleveland welcomes in
frequent appearance against the In
dams with squeals of joy, and even
Washington holds him in poor esteem
Against the Yankees, however, he al
most invariably looks like the best
pitcher in all the world.

FEW REALIZE VASTNESS
OF THE GRAND CANYON

Few persons can realize on a
first view of the Grand Canyon
that it is more than a mile deep
and from eight to ten miles
wide. The cliffs descending to
its depths form a succession of
huge steps, each 300 to 800 feet
high, with steep rocky slopes
between. The cliffs are the
edges of hard beds of limestone
or sandstone; the intervening
slopes mark the outcrops of
softer beds. This series of beds
is more than 5000 feet thick,
and the beds lie nearly horizon
tai. Far down in the canyon is
broad shelf caused by the
hard sandstone at the base of
this series, deeply trenched by
a narrow inner canyon cut a
thousand feet or more into the
underlying granite" The rocks
vary in color from white and
buff to red and pale green.
They present marvellous va
riety of picturesque forms,
mostly on titanic scale, fash
Toned mainly by erosion by run
ming water, the agent which
has excavated the canyon.

COLLIE HERO KILLS SNAKE
Dog Sacrifices Own Life to Save That
of His Six-Year-Old Mis-
tress.

Don, a collie dog owned by John
Miller of Fairfield avenue, West Cald-
well, N. j., gave up his life to save
Agnes, the six-year-old daughter of his
master.
Agnes and her elder sister, Clara,
were romping with the dog when it
bounced upon a copperhead snake d.
rectly in the path of the little grill.
The elder sister grabbed Agnes and
ran home with her and informed their
father.
Miller ran to the scene with a club,
but before he got there the dog had
killed the snake, but had himself been
bitten. Shortly after he got back to
the house he showed symptoms of
poisoning and soon after died. Miss
Clara Miller said that had not the dog
tackled the snake when he did her lit
tie sister would have been bitten.

Purified Water.

Throughout the whole country the
word has been passed to beware of
bad water. =
Your family doctor will tell you that
the safest thing to do is to boil every
drop of water that you drink.
Here is a simple arrangement for
distilling water:
Slip one end of hose over the ket-
tie and let the other end pass down
through tightly fitting cork into an
earthenware jug.
The steam rising from the. kettle
spout passes through the, hose to the
jug, and as the latter is cooled by the
water outside, the steam condenses,
or once more becomes water minus all
impurities. -ets
Once the device is set up you will
not need to pay much attention to it,
for the steam that usually goes to
waste will be constantly forming into
water. $3.50. ~. srss..
The water surrounding the, jug
need only be changed once a day.

PARTY SUFFRAGE RECORDS

Congressman c. G. Dill, of Wash

voted upon have been Democratic
members" He adds that mo others
have appeared TO ask for considera-
tion of the measure. That is, l think,
sufficient answer to any claim that
the Democratic Party opposed Woman
Suffrage"
This record need only be supple
mented with the personal voting his
tory OF the rival Presidential candi
dates 10 show who is the real friend
of suffrage. President Wilson made
two trips from Washington to New
Jersey to register and vote for Woman
Suffrage when 1t was submitted in his
State. Candidate Hughes did not take
the trouble TO register or TO vote the

amendment was submitted In hi:

take to be one who insists
on recognizing new facts,

and circumstances as they
arise"

gram of reform advocated by
