MANY THINGS MADE
OUT OF PAPER NOW
Already Fiber Has Taken Place Of
Cotton in Manufacture OF
Artificial Linen.

Since the establishment Of the
Forest Service the public has learned
a host of things about lumber but
more interesting TO the lay reader
are the results of experiments with
lumber waste. Who in the last gener.
alton would have dreamed that sons
day we would be making artificial
silks from sawdust? Yet that Is ex
actly what Is being done. Other fab
RIGS ar, successfully being woven
also. That all our clothing eventually
may be made from wood pulp paper
fabrics, and be both durable and in
expensive, is not beyond present pos
siblity.
/ Lumber waste that once was con.
sidered worthless now is mixed with
small quantities of wood pulp, made
into paper, sometimes mixed with
cotton or wooden fleece, and then spun
into silk" neckties and silk socks,
Nor are these the only commodities
that are being so made with success.
1t is already a matter Of economy to
manufacture articles from spun paper
which range in diversity from furni'
ture and rugs TO suit cases and flour
bags.
Equally as interesting is the man
ner in which the paper Is spun into
Irvine and into thread. In a process
for making twine the paper is first
cut into long strips about one inch
wide. These strips are then passed
thru a machine which corrugate them
in the direction Of their lengths
These are then twisted by hand into
the shape of twne The twin0 Is
finally reduced to the proper diameter
BY feeding ii into other machines
which wind the thread UP tightly. A
process of this kind Is used for max
ing the larger size twines and ropes,
and for heavy cables for towing
ships.
For making the thread that Is used
in clothing, another prelim, nary pro
cess must be used In this wide
sheet Of moistened wood pulp is fed
into a compression roller under an
other sheet OF either cotton or wooden
fleece Of the same width. Both sheets
are quite soft 50 that after they have
been forced thru the heavy rollers
they will come out with their tlbres
interengaged and in the form of one
solid web. The duplex web so formed
is then placed in cutting machine
and divided into long narrow strips.
These may then be hand-twisted and
spun in a manner similar to that used
in making the finer twines described
above.
Thus paper mattings are taking the
place of burlap wall papers they are
serving as backing for linoleums and
oilcloths, and they are being used
In great great quantities in the max.
ing of fancy paper novelties And
these facts become all the more
amazing when we consider that the
entire spun paper industry is but q
few years old.
BY far the most astonishing pro
gress. however, has been made In the
substitution of spun paper for ex
ponsive cotton and fax in the making
of artificial linen. The United States
Is not alone in this, however Germa
many and Austria are now usint
paper far more extensively than arr
we, in fact their use OF II has en-
abled them to solve many of thei
war problems.

CHOW DO YOU KNOW?

Of course you have heard the story that
Nine. Schumann-Heink had been arrested
on board ship as German spy and given
the alternative of facing trial or jumping
overheard, and that she jumped overheard.
Nine. Schumann-Heink is still very
much alive and at liberty, and incidentally
had taken out citizenship papers in the
United States before the war began in
1914
Then you have heard the story of the
daughter or daughter-in-law of Chicago
merchant who was given the same alterna-
tive.
1t is cut from the same cloth.
Then you have heard that the Y. NJ. G. A.
was selling tobacco at profit to the SOL
diers. 1t came about because the Y. M. @. A.
had to charge more for tobacco than the
army canteens for the simple reason that
it has to pay freight and the army doesn t.
Since then the association sells tobacco at
the same price, and absorbs the loss from
its general funds.
Then you have heard that the recent trial
Of the damage suit against the Lusitania
owners revealed the fact that the Lusitania
carried munitions. The facts are that
Judge Julius NJ. Mayer of the United
States district court, found that it had been
proved beyond doubt that the Lusitania
was not armed and carried no munitions
or explosives. In recent issue of popu-
lar weekly magazine, writer who is well
informed on Germany, explains the reason
for the explosion which followed the tor
pedoing. 1t was due to bombs concealed
in the cargo by German agents, who had
planned to wreck the Lusitania at the dock
in Liverpool.
There are dozens of others.

question to keep handy these days.

WHEN BABY HAS A FEVER.

W.T. Dad TlFAS - h@fAs
When baby has a fever what fears
do not arise in the heart of the
pother And yet fever does not
constitute a disease. 1t is nothing
more or less than a symptom. 1t
means only and always that some
thing is wrong with the infant.
BY fever is meant an elevation of
the temperature Of the body above
the normal, which in an infant is SO
degrees Fahrenheit by rectum. The
fever may be due to slight, attack
of indigestion, the eruption of teeth
or to the beginning of scarlet fever
or diphtheria or some other disease.
Children develop fever much more
rapidly than adults, and it is of less
significance IN them. A child with
fever that is appreciable to the
touch Of the mother will usually
register a temperature of zoos de-
grees to 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit
While such temperature is by no
means alarming, it's cause should be
discovered. Therefore every young
mother should possess and know now
to use a clinical thermometer. In
case of a sudden high fever-104 to
105 degrees-from any cause, the
mother cannot make a mistake in
giving an alcohol and water sponge
bath at a temperature of IS degrees.
One part of alcohol may be added
to three parts of water, and the child
spOnged for twenty minutes. If
necessary, the sponging may be re-
peated every two or three hours.
This will keep the child comfortable
until the arrival of physician, and
perhaps prevent unpleasant complt-
cations
In case of fever the infants nour-
ishment should be reduced at once.
If the childis on the bottle, re-
duce the strength Of the food one
half by the addition of boiled water.
If the child is at the breast, reduce
the duration Of each nursing period
one third. Children with fever should
have plenty Of cool, boiled water to
drink.
flight Feeling" of Head.
Miss B. c.: The tight feeling OF
the head as though held by a band,
with soreness over the eyes," is
most likely, a form Of headache
This may. be due to constipation or
to a need of glasses. The promi
nence of veining in the temples need
give you no concern. We do not
understand what you mean by dry
ing spells. H.
Laryngitis.
Miss G. P. A.: The common
symptoms of laryngitis is hoarseness
or huskiness of the voice or an in
ability to speak out loud. Often this
is accompanied by an Irritating
cough and some pain or distress in
this region.
Infection at Roots of Teeth.
Mrs. NJ: Infection at the roots
of teeth, which may cause no recog-
nized local disturbances, is capable
of producing serious systemic disor-
ders. Sometimes these manifest
themselves in mere deterioration of
the general health. Sometimes rheu.-
matte conditions appear, or, as in
your case, headache, pain in the ear,
neck, etc. The root of a tooth which
has been broken off is Of no possible
use, and is always a source of danger
and should be removed The advice
you have received to the contrary is
not to be considered reliable. An
X-ray of the teeth is the best meth

Other Mems Views
An Editorial That May or May Not Square
With The Views Of The Forum
rom The Minneapolis Journal.

From The Minneapolis Journal.
Whether the state of Maine continues in war
as in peace, to foreshadow the political future by
it's September elections, remains to be tested by
the events of November. At least, the Repub-
cans are entitled to take heart because of what
happened in Maine on Tuesday. The election Of
governor, senator four congressman and legs-
lature, and the carrying Of every county in the
state. but three demonstrates that in war time
Maine continues to be Republican, and to have
confidence in the character, war record and war
purposes Iof the Republican party.
The shrewd Down casters have that the
Republican minority in congress has been the
sure support of the President In his sound war
policies. They have noted that in several i'm
portant crises he would have been defeated by
tho defections of his own partisans but for the
rallying to the cause OF practical patriotism or
the Republican contingent
They Judge. too that the constructive Repub
lcan leadership is safer in congress, not only
for the instant needs of winning the war, but for
wise handling Of the tremendous after -the-war
problems, than the narrowviewed leadership OF
the south with its dominating power derived from
possession Of almost all the committee chairman
ships.
The specious cry, Stand by the President"
raised in Maine. as it will be raised IN Min
nesota, and in every other state where there is
contest But the Maineites were too canny to be
carried away by this plea. However firmly they
stand by the President however strongly they
support his present policies, they recognize
the need of q Republican congress to demon
strae the solidarity Of the nation, and to put the
Legislative branch Of the government in the hands
of a militant and able management that Shali
complement and reinforce that which controls
the executive branch.
Maine has done her full share to put the con-
gressonal reins in strong, sure, STEADY habds. In
justification of her proud motto, 'Drigo, she
once more points the way for the other states.

NO LONGER KISSED

Some unnamed diplomat in the marine
corps headquarters deserves a Congress
sional Medal for distinguished services.
He has removed all the horrors of being
adjudged a hero by the French govern
ment.
Formerly recipients of the French war
decorations were bemedalled and then
kissed upon each cheek by French COM
mander.
But it isn't done any more with Ameri-
cans.
Now the French commander pins on the
medal and then steps back and shakes the
right hand of the lucky Yank.
Three rousing cheers!
Any Of us Older men, who dreaded the
call for fear of winning a French war cross
and being kissed i'll view Of an army and
by another man, can now throw off this
burden and win all the medals offered with
no greater danger than losing an arm, a leg
or life.

officer dropped a diplomatic hint in the

ST. HELENA A PRECEDENT.

What about the Kaiser when the war
ends?
Are the German Emperor and his six pre-
cious sons, and the German commanders to
be permitted to escape punishment for the
atrocities that have been committed in the
name of war?
It is too early of course, to discuss pun
ishment for those chiefly responsible for
the breaking of every law of humanity, but
it is good to know that France and Great
Britain are preparing a list Of the best
authenticated cases against the German
leaders. a.
Napoleon was banished to st. Helena,
and Great Britain act in thus committing
him to life Imprisonment on a barren island
provides a precedent for punishment for
the Hohenzollerns and the German com
manders, if one were needed.
The form Of trial which they shall under
go; the judges who shall pass upon their
cases; and the form of punishment to be
melted out upon those convicted are details
to be discussed and decided when the time
comes, but it is not too early to consider
whether or not the arch criminals OF the
war shall go free while the lesser ones pay
the penalty for the crimes of Germany.

may be made to clear the channel ports.
Perhaps it will be ON the Italian front, from
which Austrian troops have been drawn.
The breaking off of the American attack
shows that General Foch is not yet ready
for his great offensive. That must mean
he intends to continue his policy of harass-
ing The enemy by short, sudden thrusts at
widely separated points in the line, seeking
limited detectives at minimum of cost to
himself, while inflicting the greatest pos
sible losses to the enemy.

GERMANY's "FOREsIGHT".

Germany is fighting a defensive war,
says the Kaiser.
Read today's installment of the official
exposure of the German Bolsheviki under
standing.
It tells of a circular dated June 9, 1914,
ordering all industrial concerns in Ger
many to open their sealed instructions on
mobilization plans.
Remember that this was before the Sare-
jvo murder, which precpitated the war.
The cause for the war had not even been
discovered yet, but Germany knew it was
coming because the General Staff had de-
cided upon it.
1t is little wonder Germany was eager to
get this document back, and ordered Len
inc and Trotzky to return it.
