Wood Flour.

The Forest Service estimates that
American lumber mills produce no less
than thirty-six million cords OF waste
every year. About one half OF It goes
into the furnace as fuel; the rest is burned
as refuse. Acomparatively small quantity,
twenty thousand tons or more, is ground
into wood -four just as grain was ground
in old-time mills. The product is divided
between two widely different industries,
the manufacture OF dynamite and the
manufacture OF inlaid linoleum. Both
require a white or very light-colored
flour, which IS obtained mainly from
spruce, fir, white pine and poplar. The
flour used in making dynamite must be
very absorptive, so that there will be no
leakage OF nitroglycerin from The finished
product; il must also be white, since light
ness OF color in dynamite is regarded as
sign OF freshness. la making llnoleum,
either wood or cork flour is used. The
flour IS mixed with a eementing material,
and is then spread out on burlap and
rolled or pressed 10 uniform thickness.
The cement is the expensive constituent.
Cork linoleum is the cheaper because Il
takes less cement, For inlaid or straight
line linoleum, wood flour is used ex-
cluSively. Cork linoleum is always dark
and slightly more elastic than that
produced from wood flour. The wearing
qualities are about the same. There are
wood-ilour mills scattered over the coun-
try from Maine 10 California wherever the
necessary combination OF wood and wa
ter power exists. Domestic wood flour
completes with the Norwegian product,
which, before the European war, cost in
Atlantic ports from twelve dollars and
half 10 fifteen dollars ton.

To Revise the Commandments.

A proposal to revise and shorten the
first five OF the Ten Commandments vii
be submitted TO the next general conven'
ton Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
says a New York dispatch. The pro-
posed changes are recommended by
commission OF bishops, clergy and lay
men which has been considering the pro.
ject.
II is proposed 10 eliminate portions o.
the first five Commandments on the
ground that arguments for The observ-
ance OF Divine Law are not essential ic
the laws themselves. The revised YER
sion OF the Commandments, as proposed
is as follows:
First-Thou shalt have no other Gods
but me.
Second-Thou shalt notmake unto thy
self any craven image, nor any likeness
of anything that is in the Heaven above,
the earth beneath or in the water under
the earth; thou shalt not bow down to
them, nor worship them.
Third-Thou shalt not take The name
OF the Lord, Thy God, in vain.
Fourth-Remember that thou keep holy
the Sabbath Day.
Fifth-Honor thy father and thy mother.

Guarding His Own Honor.

A few months ago gentleman who
stands high in the community where he
lives stepped from train on his return
from business trip TO the nearest city,
some twenty-five miles distant. Still
holding a railroad ticket in his fingers, he
gave il to a young boy, a "newsy," about
thirteen years of age, saying: "Here,
Danny, this will save you dollar and
quarter when next you 90 up to SPRING
field. That numbskull OF conductor
never put in his appearance, and it is as
good as it was the hour bought it."
The boy look embarrassed at first, and
in an uneasy manner glanced from the
smiling gentleman TO the bit of paper in
his hand. Then he asked timidly: "But,
Mr.. Reynolds, didn't you travel TO
Springfield and back on it?"
Certainly" returned MIR. Reynolds.
"But that didn't hurt the ticket in the
least. Don't you see il has not a mark
or scratch upon it,"
eyes, but did you not get the worth OF
your money out OF it2" insisted the boy.
"Of course did, but that is no reason
why you should not do the same," Mr..
Reynolds answered. at was no fault Of
mine if the conductor did not attend TO
his business. Passengers are not sup
posed to risk their necks hunting up
railroad officials, are they?"
"No," agreed Danny, hesitatingly.
"Then put il in your pocket and so
save fare the next time you go up to see
your mother" counseled the gentleman.
"A good silver dollar and a bright new
euarter were paid for it, and you will
save just that amount by using it, enough
to get mother nice present, something
that would both please and surprise her"
For a moment Danny was on the point
OF yielding. but the reference to his
mothers being pleased and surprised
made him draw his hand back.
"You are just that much poorer" re-
turned Mr.. Reynolds iritably. LAS if a
big corporation like the B. & o. Railroad
Company would ever miss the insignif-
icant amount OF one dollar and twenty
five centsp
"Still, know it would not be right for
me to use it" maintained Danny, sturdily.
And take the ticket he would not.
Later, when Mr.. Reynolds was in need
OF boy by whom large sums of money
were to be handled, it was Danny. the
boy with the peculiar conscience, that he
employed, explaining to friend when
he sent for him: "a boy unwilling TO rake
advantage of railroad will not be dan
gerous chap TO have in charge of an Of
fee with piles of money 10 be guarded"

What profiteth a man that he gain the
whole world yet lose his health p?
NaturaIists say that long ago the pre-
historic waters were infested with a
species OF enormous shark which finally
became extinct by reason of the workings
OF IFS voraciouS appetite. Thus Nature
eliminates the over-fed.
The desire for ease OF life and plentiful
diet is universal and is the great stimulus
of mar and animals alike. When man
becomes greedy and takes more ease and
food and drink than is his share, Nature
diScards him.
In the race for power and place, tor
ease OF circumstance and relief from the
stimulus of hunger, the modern man is
apt TO forget that unless he is careful OF
his body he will soon be made 10 suffer
for the iniraction of Natures memorable
physical law. With the loss in body
tone comes an equal loss in mental acuitY
and the brain which for time was able
TO operate despite the complaints OF an
over-fed, under-exercised, self poisoned
body. stops working.
StatisiicianS have discovered that the
mortality rate OF persons in the United
States over IS years Of age is increasing.
The strenuous life of today is not alone
responsible for this. Lack OF health
giving exercise, superfluity of diet, lack
OF restoring sleep, over-stimulation, the
high pressure of the race for power, wealth
and position. plus physical neglect-these
bring early decay. The goal is reached,
wealth is amasSed, honor, position and
power are just being graSped when the
apple OF accomplishment turns 10 the
ashes OF dissolution. The brilliant mind
becomes clouded, the steady hand is no
longer accurate, the eye which once gazed
tearlessly on the whole world is dimDed
and il is not long before the final break
up occurs. All OF this was entirely pre-
ventable.
Other things being equal II is the man
who leads the well-ballnced life who
lasts the longest, whose work 10 the end
is uniformly the best, he who neither
over-works nor over-plays, neither over
eats, over-drinks. nor over-sleeps, he
who maintains a standard OF simple,
healthy diet in moderation, who offsets
mental work with physical recreation,
who is as honest with his own body as
he is with his own business. When sue

Ancient Aztec Corn.

Eight hundred dollars bushel is be-
lieved 10 be the highest price ever paid
for ordinary Indian corn in this country.
But that was The price paid in Hutchinson,
Kan, short time ago. There wasn't a
whole bushel Of corn sold, but only 100
grains, but the sale was at the rate OF
$500 a bushel. The Rev. E. B. Pratt,
former pastor OF First Baptist Church at
Hutchinson, was visiting a friend in
Durango, COL, last year. The father Of
his old schoolboy friend was a collector
OF ancient Indian curios and had recently
come into possession OF some valuable
curios from the ancient Aztec tribes OF
Mexico. One OF the curios was an ear
OF corn that was found in jar OF one OF
the Aztec cave dwellings in Southern
Mexico. DR.. Pratt was given a dozen
grains of the corn, and on his return to
Hutchinson gave some OF them TO w. E.
Kelley.
Mr.. Kelley planted two Of the grains
and was surprised TO find that they germi-
mated and grew and actually produced
three ears OF corn. The corn is some
thing like the calico corn grown in many
parts OF the country. The ears are
longer but smaller at the top. The kerr
neIs are smaller than the ordinary kernels.
Mr.. Kelley has recently sold 100 grains
OF his corn for g. He sold the grains at
the rate OF 50 for 81. The government
standard is 10000 grains to a bushel of
corn. At this rate carload of The Aztec
corn would be worth $4,000. The
corn is supposed TO have been several
centuries old when il was found by mine
prospectors in Mexico.

How CocoanutS Grow.

Why do cocoanuts have "eyes"? This,
say the naturalists, is the reason Cocoa
nuts generally grow at the edge OF seas
or rivers, and a good many OF the nuts as
they become ripe fall into the wafer.
I he nuts are covered with thick husk,
which has a waterproof covering, so that
they will float. AS they float, the three
eyes, which are all at one end OF the nut,
are always on top.
Once in the water, nature goes to work.
From one OF the eyes there comes shoot
that sends forth broad leaves that act as
sails. The wind catches these sails and
watts the cocoanut on a journey that may
be many miles long. AS ii sails, the other
two eyes send out roots, which at first
grow among the fibres Of the woody husk.
In time the cocoanut is swept on another
shore, perhaps on another island. The
roots embed themselves in the soft earth,
The sail becomes the trunk, and very
shortly thrifty cocoanut palm is growing
where none grew before.
