Wealth From Waste,

Efficiency of any industry or busi-
ness may largely be measured by the
extent to which hy-products are uti-
lized. That word by-products means
thing which is obtained in the process
of manufacturing something else. For
instance, manure is a by-product OBJ
tanned in the production of milk or
beef, and the efficiency of farm busi-
ness may be measured pretty accurate-
ly by the way in which this by-product
Is utilized.
1t often happens that whether
business renders profit or loss de-
pends upon the extent to which by
products are saved and put to use. 1t
Is claimed that many meat-packing
businesses would not pay profit to
their owners if it We're not for the
money made out of the by-products.
Many of us know farmers who have
lost money because they failed to use
the manure in the most effective man
ner possible.
Many important manufactured prod
ucts which we find common in the
stores and homes today were one time
let 60 to waste as unutiliZed by-prod-
ucts of some factory or business. Gas
oline was only few years ago by
product which was burden on the
hands of the refners of kerosene, who
dumped it into the streams until pre-
vented by law from doing so. And
now we learn that thing which was
once a nuisance as well us a wasted
by-product may 60 further than any
thing else toward the solution of our
problem of where to get potash with
out depending on other nations for it,
as we have depended upon Germany in
the past.
The dust occurring in cement mills
and blast furnaces has been found to
be rich in potash of quality Which
makes it available as fertilizer. And
now some Of the more progressive
mills are saving their dust and maxi
ing money out of it. And because Of
the value of this dust it will now pay
to use certain grades of raw materials
in the manufacture of cement and iron
which formerly cost more to handle
than the product was worth.-FarE,ng

TO END HAY fever
EXPERTS RECOMMEND THE
ERADICATION OF WEEDS.
determination Of Worthless Plants,
They Believe, Would Help Greatly
In the Effeetual Stamping Out
Of the Disease.

BY "war on weeds" hay fever suf-
ferers may be relieved Of an annual
orgy of sneezing, according to an ar
ticle in the Medical Record by DR..
w. Scheppegrell Of New Orleans, La.
Doctor Scheppegrell was one Of the
men who caused the enactment Of
city ordinance in New Orleans for the
control Of weeds as the best means Of
controlling hay fever and preventing
It's spread. In his article, 1.-THE Cause,
Treatment and Prevention Of Hay Fe-
ver," he says it is simple disease,
"whose continued existence would be
reflection ON preventive medicine" ,
''The plants that are responsible for
hay fever are practically all common
weeds, such as the ragweed, the cookie
burr, the yellow dock and Others" he
writes. "They are wind pollinated,
without attractive color or fragrance,
very numerous and with abundant pol
len. The lack Of color or scent Is due
to the fact that these plants are wind
pollinated, the qualities mentioned be-
ing intended to attract insects for fer
tilization.
1.-THE most common weeds that cause
hay fever are the ragweeds, which are
the causes Of most cases Of fall hay
fever. The marsh elder Is also cause
of fall hay fever and frequently pro-
longs the attack. The early cases are
due to the yellow dock and the mid
summer cases to the careless weed,
cockleburr and other wind-pollinated
weeds. In early summer many cases
are due to the various grasses.
"The indirect reaction Of pollinosls
Is partly due to the effects of the pri-
mary irritation and partly to the alb
sorption Of the protein Of the pollen
and the toxin formed by the proteo-
lytic action Of the cells.
"The important factor In the treat
ment Is the removal of the exciting
cause. In many cases the pollinating
weeds are in the neighborhood Of the
patients residence and the cutting of
these will frequently give marked re-
lief. My first prescription to such pa
tients Is, Have the weeds and grass
in your neighborhood cut and keep
away from other weeds
"A method which has given relief
in almost every case is the removal Of
the patient during the hay fever pc
riod from the infected locality. This
does not necessitate an expensive trip
to the mountains or seaside, which fire.
Quently fails to give relief on account
of the presence of hay fever pollens in
the air at these places. A temporary
visit to mere central part Of the city
will be sufficient, provided the areas
with pollinating weeds or grasses are
at a sufficient distance (one-half mile
or more).
"As hay fever has been shown to be
a distinctly preventable disease, 1t Is
clearly our duty to use every effort to
eradicate the cause. Investigations
indicate that the large majority of the
plants whose pollen give rise to hay
fever are worthless weeds, which are
alike an expense to the farmer and
a menace to health"

Pebbles for Thirst.

What Is the best thirst-quencher on
the march? Weak tea and sterilized
water are the beverages officially rec
commended by paternal army council
wherewith to fill water bottles, though
the soldier Is urged to drink as little
as possible lest he merely aggravate
this thirst. Most old soldiers have
their own pet theories on the matter
of thirst-quenchers, and offer them
freely (and generally in vain) to re-
cruits.
One sergeant of wide experience Is
ready to stake his reputation on the
soothing effect of tangerine orange;
another will chew licorice or tobacco.
But there is reader and cheaper
way. A small, smooth stone Is selected
and steadily sucked on the march to
keep the tongue moist. The recent
loss of favorite pebble, his friend on
many long march, has greatly sad
dened certain company sergeant ma
jor, and he still nurses the firm and
unshakable conviction that 1t was sur
reptitiously borrowed and swallowed
by a greedy platoon sergeant.-Man'

Sharks Used 40 Food.

An unreasonable prejudice exists in
this country against the use Of shark
like fishes (sharks, dogfsh, rays, etc.
as food. A recent memoir by Lewis
Radcliffe, published by the United
States bureau of fisheries, points out
the flesh of various small species OF
this class as palatable, when properly
prepared, and that this fact Is better
appreciated abroad than In this coun-
try.
In England and Wales, in 1913, there
were landed 64,996 hundredweight OF
dogfish, valued at 100000. 1t appears.
however, that a good deal OF shark
meat is eaten In the eastern United
States by people who think they are
eating something else. For example,
trap fishermen in the neighborhood OF
Woods Hole, Mass, remove the head,
fins and tail. from all the larger spe-
cies of shark Except the sand shark)
caught in their traps, after which
treatment the body looks not unlike
swordfsh,
It is then shipped to Boston and
New York, where 1t is sold as deep
water swordfsh. The fishermen re-
ceive from three to eight cents .
pound for this class Of food.
Shark fms are q great dainty, not
only in Japan and China, but also In
the West Indies and Bermuda, where
they appear on the menus of the best
hotels.

ders. Her pride was badly hurt. She
gave her arm to Tallman, and they
went on down the street. Sanders tag
ging along In the rear.
1t was that evening that Elsie told
Sanders he was coward. Sanders
went away miserably and did not see
her again for two or three weeks. The
town sniggered, but everyone agreed
that Tallman was justified in trying
to win the girl, especially from fell
low like Sanders. ~
1t was just about two weeks after
this episode that the striking event In
the towns annals occurred. 1t went
to bed with the Rio Grande flowing
peacefully before 1t and the desert and
the hills beyond. 1t awoke to the
sound of rifle shots and the yells Of
the Mexican brigands.
They had stolen upon the place and
shot down the handful of police. Now,
galloping through the streets, they
were looting stores, setting houses ON
fire, and numbering oil whom they
met. The town knew what had hap
pened the moment 1t awakened, to-
ward daylight, but 1t had never ex-
pected to share the fate Of the other
raided border settlements.
Sanders staggered into his clothes
and ran into the street. The raiders
were still at work upon the business
section, but the little residential part
was about to be attacked. Isolated
parties were drawing nearer. Sanders
and Tallman and Elsie lived within a
stones throw of each other. On
reaching the street Sanders found a
small body Of men busy making
barricade. A dozen or SO Of rifles had
been discovered, and an impromptu
company had been organized.
Travers, the self-constituted cap
tain, thrust rifle into Sanders hand.
"Here, l guess you're man enough
to use this, aren't you" he asked
doubtfully.
Sanders took 1t and loaded 1t. AS
he did so cries were heard from
street block away, answered by the
yells of the Mexicans. Another party
had stolen into the town by differ
ent route, and was sweeping forward

JILTER AND TILTED MARRY
Rectangular Romance Is Revealed
After New Jersey Farmer Tires
Of Proposing.

Montrose, N. J.-Dennis Carpenter,
a wealthy retired farmer, proved to
Miss Lillian Crandall of Hallstead, Pa,
that he can be driven just so far.
After failing three times to get Miss
Crandall to sign marriage license he
took Miss Carrie Brown Of Scranton,
Pa, to the recorders Office and OBJ
tained the legal permission to make
her his bride.
However and furthermore, little
Miss Crandall, who is only 16 years
old, showed Mr.. Carpenter that she
has mind of her own. She took Har-
ley Lawrence to Gibson to the record
er's Office and signed everything that
was required on any document per-
tanning to marriage.
Mr.. Carpenter looked at Mr.. Law
renee and sighed. Mr.. Lawrence looked
at Mr.. Carpenter and laughed. The
two brides glared at each other and
drew up their full height-no great dis
tance In either case.
Then the bridal parties drove away
In automobiles in opposite directions.
