Cement From Sugar-Beet Waste.

A result Of experiments in French
factories is the production of an ex-
cellent cement as by-product of beet
sugar refining The first step in the
production Of sugar from beets is boil
ing them. 1t has heretofore been Gus
tomary to throw away as valueless the
scum formed on the caldrons. But 1t
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities of car
Donate of lime. 1t is estimated that
1000 tons of the carbonates can be
recovered from 10000 tons of beets.
To this quantity of the carbonate LOO
tons of clay is added, the resultant
product being good cement. The
beet scum is pumped into large reser-
voirs and allowed to evaporate for a
certain length Of time before being
mixed with the clay. 1t is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being fed
into rotary ovens such as Is used In
making Portland cement.

The Wheat Price Veto.

President Wilson has earned the graft
tude of the country by his veto oi Tue clii
fixing the minimum price OF wheat at
81. 40 bushel for the crop that is now
being harvested 1t took courage TOT
him to return that measure without his
signature, for his act is likely to prove an
expensive one for his party IN the coming
congressional elections in the wheat
growing States. The wheat growers are
certain to resent the loss OF the aooeo
hundreds of millions that tie bill would
have put into their pockets-to resent
the loss of that sum much more keenly
than the flour consumers Will appreciate
the saving of it.
Nevertheless. the attitude of the Presi-
dent is both economically sound and pa
triotic in the broadcast sense. In the face
of conditions that have stimulated the
farmers to plant largely increased acre
age of wheat and of wheat crop of
bumper proportions there is no justlflca-
ton for legislation that would add 81 a
barrel-and that at the mill-to the pres
ent high price of flour. The increase
would have forced up Canadian wheat as
well and would have been an expensive
thing for England and France, in addition
to forcing I'D the cost of living through
ont this country. There would have been
another excuse. for demanding higher
wages in all the industrial centres-and
for the benefit of the wheat farmers, who
were never before so prosperous IN their
lives.
If the old law of supply and demand
must be suspended IN the matter OF
wheat, the present method of regulating
the price by conference of all concerned
is far to be preferred to the arbitrary,
and unduly high, minimum price that the
bill in question would have established.
The present method works well. The
wheat raisers have no grievance. They
are not so sorely in need of the added
1887, 900, 900 that the bill would nave
given them as the consuming public is IN
need of it for other necessities of life. All
praise to President Wilson for veto
that is sound and courageous. The Bos-
ton Herald.

PoIiteness Is Too Neglected.

Courtesy! Prof. William Lyon
Phelps of Yale university is right in
saying that the young men of today
possess even a greater power of endur-
ance than their fathers. The war has
demonstrated that the luXuries of mod
ern life have not produced degenerate
race. Our own heroes of 1776 were no
more hardy than the young men in
khaki today after six months of train
ing. The endurance Of the modern sol
der is not alone a matter of physique
or physical strength but of moral
stamina as well. What we need to
cultivate is not simply sturdy man
hood through military discipline, but
also to give our boys and girls train
ing in courtesy. Military training
teaches obedience, a quality that our
youth sorely need to acquire, but we
need to instill into the minds of our
children in the public schools lessons
of politeness and respect for the
rights of others.
No other nation has neglected po-
likeness as we have done.-Leslie's.

HAVE MANY QUAINT BELIEFS
Alaskan Natives Probably as Supersti-
tious as Any Race on tho
Face of the Earth.

In Alaska the natives have all kinds
Of superstitious beliefs. They believe
that everything has a spirit, and that
these spirits must be respected or else
bad luck will come to them. For in
stance, they must not throw away any
old clothing. nor burn it. for that would
be the same as destroying a part of
themselves. They must make bundle
of the old clothes and put it on the
branches of a large spruce tree out
side the village. All fish bones are
carefully put away in basket to be
taken out to the middle of a river.
stream or lake and there thrown over
board. This is done SO that every
single bone, after it is put back into
the water. will turn into fish, and
this is sure to keep up the supply.
When child is born the father
has to put away all tools that are
made of iron or steel and is, not al
lowed to use them for 20 days. Dur
ing that time he is not allowed to go
outside to do any work or any hunt
ing. Should he do any of these things
it would surely cause the death of the
baby. When a child dies it is not
buried, but is wrapped in bundle and
placed at the foot of a spruce sapling.
If the tree dies within year the
spirit of the child dies also.
When a grown person dies the body
is kept at least three days in the room
in which it has died. When the time
for burial comes the body is buried on
hillside or a high bank facing the
river. There is the village of departed
spirits on the side facing the river and
on the other side the spirits of the
dogs who have died and who belong to
the people whose spirits are there.
The spirit of an old woman takes care
of these dogs.-Southern Workman.

TRACTOR PLOUGHING.
Championship Shield Comes to Lincoln
shire.

A telegram was received on Tuesday
evening by Mr. Myers, the tractor repre-
sentative for the county of Holland, from
the Food Production Department. stating
that the Fordson Tractor, Serial No. F
60, had won the all-England champion
ship for the period ending April 5th The
tractor only arrived in the county at the
end of the first week, when the COMPETE
ton was started, and therefore, was
handicapped by loss of five days out of
the month, which is the period of the
competition.
The tractor commenced working on
the Crown Colony at Holbeach on the
14th of March, and was working there
ed to Mr.. Chas. Bowser's farm in Hol-
beach Marsh, and afterwards to Mr. Geo.
Caudwell's farm at Fosdyke, where it
finished the months working.
During the three weeks and two days
the tractor was in commission, 1T plough
ed, cultivated, etc, 40 IL acres, and the
amount earned was SAP lbs. The para
fin consumption was 81 gallons per
acre.
The tractor was worked by two soldiers,
fVtS. y. w. fOtter ana Lance corporal
B. Jones, both low category men who had
been trained in the county, and who, pre-
vious to this, had had no experience in
the working of tractors. Great credit is
due to these two soldiers, who worked
IL hours per day including Sundays.
On Wednesday afternoon, the two SOL
diers, Mr.. F. Myers, the tractor repre-
sentative, and Mr.. W. R. Wintour, the
machinery officer, journeyed to London
for the presentation of the championship
shield, which took place at the Food
Production Department by the Director
General, Sir Arthur Lee, who also pre-
sented the men with two silver replicas
of the trophy. The shield is fine work
of art, and bears the following inscrip-
tion, National Food Campaign-Cham-
pion Tractor of England and Wales"
The champion shield will be held for one
month. Sir Arthur Lee in presenting the
shield, complimented the men on their
fine performance. Great credit is also
due to the machinery organization of the
county, of which Mr. Royce is chairman.

u. S. to Assume Control of all
Physicians.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Is. The
government is about to assume control of
the entire medical profession in the Unit
ed States, to obtain sufficient doctors for
the fast growing army and at the same
time to distribute those remaining to the
localities or services where they are most
needed for civilian work. This mobiliza-
ton is to be accomplished either by en-
rolling all doctors in volunteer service
corps under pledge to accept whatever
service, military or civilian, is assigned
them by the governing body of the corps,
OF, if the voluntary plan is not success
full, by legislation providing for drafting
them into government service. Medical
officers of the government believe COM
pulsory consumption will not be neces-
sary. Organization plans of the volun-
teer medical service already have been
made and enrolment started in few
States under authorities of the Council of
National Defense Instead of enrolling
in this corps only those physicians not
suitable for military service, the govern
ment expected shortly to throw open
membership to all doctors and to bind
them with pledge during the present
emergency to accept service, military or
civilian, whichever, whenever and for
whatever duty he may be called by the
central governing board"
Under this project, the army and navy
would take those physicians and surgeons
best fitted for active duty and who can
be spared from civilian requirements. At
the same time the government would
maintain a continuous survey of the
country and assign doctors to those
communities in which there were
too few practitioners. The practical
operations, officials believe, would cause
little of this relocation, however, since
physicians who are needed in certain
communities, hospitals, schools or other
essential civilian services, would not be
commissioned in the army. Conferences
of doctors were held today in Washing
ton and a number of other cities to dis
cuss the operations of the volunteer en-
rollment plan.
