a period of nine months it was found

Great Wastage in Smoke.
The general public has only the
| faintest notion of the wastage repre-
sented in the fumes and smokes from
belching stacks quite apart from the
beneficient economies following from
their abatement where the nature Of
these Outpourings is harmful to man
and vegetation. In the smelling Of
lead the fume contains anywhere from
to 10 per cent of the volatilized met
al in the form of lead oxide and lead
sulphide, with compounds of arsenic
and antimony. This percentage is
well worth recovering. Doctor Cott-
rell is authority for the statement that
not less than 36 valuable substances
are found in fumes which, if not col
lected would be lost during the smelt-
ing and refining of various ores, etc.
At Great Falls, Mont, there was at
one time a daily loss in dust from the
stacks of one Of the large smelters of
3,775 pounds of copper, 106 ounces of
silver, and OIL ounces of gold. BY an
adequate provision for dust recovery,
this smelter was able to save in the
course of a single year metallic val
ues amounting to $130,263.
The blighting gas, sulphur dioXide,
given off from the stacks of copper
smelters can be transformed into use
full substances by turning the gas into
sulphuric acid or sulphur. Sulphuric
acid is largely made here by treating
pyrites, and we now consume annually
in the neighborhood of 6,250,000 tons
of 80 per cent sulphuric acid. To a
great extent this corrosive fluid is q
prime constituent in the preparation
of fertilizers, especially where phos-
phate rock is treated for this purpose.
1t Is also used in converting the am
monia by-products of cooking ovens
into ammonia sulphate. Sulphuric
acid is in great demand by explosive
factories, oil refiners, steel mills and
varied industries engaged in the max
ing of heavy. chemicals. Sulphuric
acid is likewise extensively employed
by smelters and the latter are paying
as high as $50 a ton today for the
stuff. Sulphur dioxide is used in
the preparation Of wood pulp for pa
per making, both as a disintegrating
and bleaching agent.

Hed-blOoded men of courage are on
the firing line-and there are many
anemic, weak, discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes "pimply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic peo-
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips,
who have poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feverish condition in the
springtime of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers Of a good al
terative and blood purifier. Such one
is extracted from Blood root, Golden
Seal and Stone root Queens root and
oregon Grape root, made up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use of alcohol. This can be OBJ

sixty-cent walls, as druggists have sold
it for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is a
standard remedy that can be obtained
in tablet or liquid form.
A good purge should be taken once
a week even by persons who have
movement daily, in order to eliminate
matter which may remain and cause a
condition of auto-intoxication, poison
ing the whole system. To clean the
system at least once week is to prac-
tlce health measures. There is nothing
so good for this purpose as tiny pills
made up of the May-apple, leaves of
aloe and jalap, and sold by almost
all druggists in this country as Doctor

4 TO abate nuisances that bid fair to
cause the shutdown or remoVal Oh
costly plants.
In dealing with dust alone, the hrst
direct effort along this line had to do
with a Portland plant near Riverside
Cal. An electrical treater was INSTALL
ed there few years ago by way OF ex-
pertinent, and a couple Of years later
was collecting something like a hun
dred tons of dust daily. Prior to that
the dust had been scattered broadcast
and settled upon the groves of ada
cent orange growers, leading to extern
sive litigation. Analysis of the re-
covered dust disclosed the presence Of
an appreciable percentage Of potash,
but this attracted no marked attention
at the time. Since then, particularly
now that it is no longer possible for
us to get potash from our prime
source, Germany, this element so es-
sential to a balanced plantfood is in
great demand.
Last year the plant at Riverside
started full blast to actually create
dust as its first concern in order to
recover the potash which previously
had been only a by-product in the
manufacture Of cement.
Cement Becomes By-Product.
This is certainly a romantic devel-
opment Of modern industry, where an
apparatus installed for the purpose of
saving the life of the factory turns out
to be the center Of operations around
which the entire plant is adjusted.
In other words, the cement becomes
for the once the by-product and the
profits on the potash furnish an ample
revenue, while the cement is just SO
much additional gain.
Anyone at all familiar with the aver
age cement plant and the gray pow
dered appearance Of the nearby ter
ritory can realize the boon that would
be conferred by the general adoption
Of electrical precipitators not only in
preventing the escape of the dust but
in saving the potash which is so much
desired.
Perhaps the most interesting part
Of the whole story Of Doctor Cottrells
success is the fact chat he has pre-
sented to Smithsonian institute at
Washington all of his valuable patents
relating to the electrical precipitation
of dust, smoke and fumes. The pur-
pose of this munifcence on his part
was that any profits resulting from
the practical application of the pat
ents should go to the upbuilding of a
fund to aid in the advancement of
scientific research. In short, to help
genius and to develop inventions
where the needful financial aid might
otherwise be lacking
