AGRICULTURE DEPT.
 SOLVES PROBLEM OF
 BARRING CEDAR RUST

Washington, D. C., Dec. 12.-The results of Investigations carried on by the U. s. Department of Agriculture in the handling of northwestern apples for and in cold storage have been so conclusive that this work may be considered as completed, according to the annual report of the Bureau of Plant Industry.
 Cedar rust on apples, it states, con- tinues to attract considerable atten- ton and has been severe in certain To- calities. One of the striking things, however, in orchard pathology has been the fact that in many of the large commercial orchard districts of the eastern Appalachian Mountains where cedar rust threatened the destruction of the value of the orchards, complete or partial eradication of the cedar trees in the vicinity of the apple or chArds, usually within a radius of one mile, has completely solved the prob lem in the most practical, simple, and permanent way and at very slight ex- pense. While the destruction of the red cedars is to be regretted, this tree in the vicinity of apple orchards has come to be a veritable pest tree and where the cedar rust fungus has been peculiarly abundant, the necessity for its destruction has been amply demon strated by the repeated experiences of the past few years.

1 CLUETT, ARCTIC
 SHIP, SOLD FOR
 TRADE PURPOSES
McMillan Expedition Ship
 Which Visited Here Sup planted by Another
(Snecial to The Farmer.)

Boston, Dec. 12. - The schooner George B. Cluett. built five years ago at Tottenville, N. Y., for Arctic ser mission at Labrador, has been sold for commercial purposes. Her place will be taken by a larger vessel re- gently constructed. The Cluett, which will be used in the mercantile mar inc, brought $35,000.
 The Cluett. which was equipped with high powered auxiliary gasoline engines built by the Wolverine Mo- tor Works, was a familiar sight in Bridgeport two years ago when she came here for repairs. She was wis ited by scores of local persons who were intensely interested in the ice breaking and protective devices against the pack and drift ice of the Arctic regions.
 In the Grenfel1 Mission service she made several trips to Etah and to- wards the so-called Crocker land, where she was instrumental in releas- ing the Donald B. MacMillan expedi- tion in search of that land. She made one trip to Brazil.
 The Cluett is schooner rigged gasoline auxiliary of 210 gross ton mage. 113.3 feet length, 25.9 beam with a drift of II feet. She carries a crew of five and is registered at New Tor. Because of her great strength she will probably be utilized in north ern waters.

PROFESSIONS LOSING
 GRADUATES AT YALE

New Haven, Dec. 12. - The trend among Yale graduates for the last 1z years has been more to the industrial and commercial pursuits, that is man. ufacturing, finance, mercantile bust ness and negineering, than, to- the pro- fessions, including law, the ministry education and medicine, according to figures given in the directory of liv- ing graduates of the university just is- sued.
 In 1904, the number of men in the professions is given as 6,937 and in 1915 as 8,574, a gain of 24 per cent. In 1904 the number engaged in in- dustria1 and commercial pursuits is given as 4,095 and in 1916 as S,169, a gain of 99 per cent. The year 1904 is taken as a starting point, it is explain ed, because it is the year wHh the best data available.

WHAT THE
 DOCTOR KNOWS
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
 INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condi- tion of the kidneys.
 The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patients urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot readily be brought back to health and strength.
 When the kidneys are neglected or are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright's Disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one year, in the state of New York alone. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to pay more attention to the health of these important organs.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
 The mild and healing influence of this preparation, in most cases, is soon realized, according to sworn statements and verified testicony of those who have used the remedy.
 When your kidneys require atten- ton, get Swamp-Root aat once from any pharmacy. It is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes-50c and $1.00.
 Howevr, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr, Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention The Bridgeport Daily Farmer.

COAL CONSUMPTION IN PITTSBURGH QUADRUPLED

Pittsburgh, Dec. 12-Fifty million tons of coal, or four times the nor nal amount, have been consumed in the Pittsburgh district in 1916, &C., cording to an estimate made by coal men here today, This represents an increase of more than 7,0o0,000 tons over the preceding year.
 The consumption in 1917 is expect ed to be even greater, The labor situation is being viewed with alarm by number of coal producers, On account of the car shortage many mines are running but four hours a day. Miners, attracted by more 1ucra- tive employment, are entering other fields of wor'-.
 Pittsburgh ceal men estimate the shortage in the northwest at S,o00,000

terson building on Asylum street now the Hotel Garde. It was a won. derful piece of mechanism, and seemed perfect to the stockholders but then came their disillusionme It was too expensive to build, and would have to be sold at 1etween $5,- 900 and 10,O00, to make it's manu. facture profitable. Nobody outside a big publishing house could afford tc buy one, and although MT. Clemens persisted with the idea alone for a time, no more machines were built and the one machine which cost about $200,000 was finally removed from the Patterson building, and is to-day on exhibition in Cornell uni versity at Ithaca, N. Y. Among the large stockholders in the Farnham company were pr. William Wood, o1 East Windsor, a well-known bird col. 'cctor; s. T. Wolcott, of South Wind LOT, and James Nichols, late presi- dent of the National Fire Insurance company.
 An early attempt to make a ma- chine for setting up ordinary foundry type was patented in England by Dr. William Church, in 1922. Then came 
 1871. Including the Fraser, the Hat. tersley and the Empire, the latter all so known as the Burr machine. The Thorne cd not come in until 1878 One of the Empire machines, which gathered it's types b. system o1 inches and distributed to the ordinary type case, was in use in a job print ing shop in Raleigh, N. C., as late as 1901. Speaking of the Paige ma. chimes the Encyclopedia Brittanica says:
 "The Paige composing, justifying and distributing machine-an Amer ican invention---is one of the most remarkable pieces of mechanism ever put together. It contains 18,51S parts, and the patent specifications form an imposing volume. It is oper- ated by keys in the ordinary way, but automatic mechanism advances the elected letters in words, spaces them and inserts the lines in the galley with leads if desired; at the same time other mechanism automaticaIly distributes the dead matter and re. fills the tubes which contain the SUD- plies of type.
 Two machi-cs were made and are said to have done good work, but the cost of construction and the com plicated nature of the mechanism made the apparatus impracticable commercial and the two that were made are now on view as mechanical curiosities, the one in the Columbia institute and other in Cornell univer.

Hartford, Dec 12.-About $250,- poo in Hartford money was sunk in a typesetting machine back in the early seventies and probably the heaviest loser in this venture was Mark Twain" the late Samuel l.. Clemens, who saw great possibilities in the Uaige machine which was promoted in this city by the Farnham Typeset- ting company. Samuel E.. Fillmore of No. '98 Pennington avenue, formerly president of the Connecticut River Banking company, says he believes he is the only director of the defunct company now living.
 According to MT. Elmore, interest in Hartford in the manufacture or a typesetting machine was stimulated by an invention of J. H. Most, piano manufacturer who had a shop on Main street, "below the little bridge Most contrived a machine when brought the types down to their proper place in channels, somewhat similar to the way in which the Mer- genthaler of to-day releases its mat rices. The invention of Most work ed well, very well, it is said, and the Farnham Typesetter company was organized with a capital Sof about $1OO, GOO MT. Fillmore was one of the original stockholders, and has his stock certificates yet.
 The principal managers of the company, 1872 to 1874, were pr. George B. Hawley, one of the found- CTS of the Hartford hospital, and Stiles E. Sperry, then treasurer of the State Savings bank. After test ing out the possibilities of the Most machine these gentlemen got in touch with Inventor Paige who al- ready had a machine, which at the present day is on exhibition at Co., iumbia institute, New York. They wanted Paige to combine the ele- ments of the two machines, and he came to Hartford and worked up a combination machine. It was won- derful invention. MT. Fillmore says, and worked nicely. Mark Twain be- came interested to great extent and ultimately put about $100,000 into it as an addition to the capital of the Farnham company, which had been increased to about $150,000. In fact Clemens was so sanguine of the suc- cess of the machine that he invested all the money he could spare.
 Two or three times it seemed as though the inventor had the machine on a commercial basis, but each time some new device would appear ne- tinually added. Finally, one machine was completed at the Colt factory, and placed on exhibition in the Bat-

GREAT SHAKE-UP | IN GOVERNMENT
 OF FRANCE SOON

Paris, Dec. 12.-Premier Briand has been busy all day seeing not only politicians but prominent businessmen and manufacturers in view of the new combination to facilitate which all ministers and secretaries will hand in their resignations. In the meantime according to the Matin, the reorganiza- ton of the high command in the army. being essentially an administrative question, will not be settled until af- ter the new government makes its bow in the chamber of deputies to-day and is endorsed by a vote of conf1- dence.
 "In addition to forming a war coun- Gil of five ministers on the model of that in England" continues the Matin, Premier Briand has decided, in the interest of the economic organization of the country, to throw the old ad- ministrative machine into the melting pot and oblige all ministerial depart ments, hitherto, congealed in super annuated methods, to get in line with the rest of the country which is free ly spending its blood and gold.
 'In the course of conversations he had with prominent men on Saturday and Sunday, Premier Briand announc- ed that he intended to give a free hand to the ministers, under-secreta- ries, and directors forming part of the new ministry. The most absolute powers will be granted to them and, if it is found that the methods meet re- sistance or that certain habits are per sisted in, these powers will be still further increased and drastic measures taken. The composition of the new com bination will clearly show the new sl .-,s. It will be the most complete possible reconstruction"
