NEW SOURCE OF TuRPENTINE
Tree In Central India to Be Looked
To for Supply of Really
Good Qualify.

Turpentine oil and rosin are already
being produced on a commercial scale
in India by the distillation Of pine
rosin. A new source Of supply which,
though comparatively small, may be
valuable, especially for Indian use, has
now been found In frankincense or
olibanum. This material is obtained
by the natives by making incisions in
the stems Of Boswellia serrata, O tree
widely distributed throughout the dry
zone forests Of Central India. The
resinous substance which exudes from
the cuts contains kind OF turpentine,
a rosin and gum.
Investigations of the methods OF sep
arating these constituents In a market
able form have been conducted since
1912 by the forest authorities In India
In cooperation with the Imperial In
stitute, and the results have been pub
lished recently in paper by Il. >.
Pearson, forest economist, and Puran
Singh, chemical adviser, at the Forest
Research institute, Dehra Dun. The
general conclusion reached, based on
the results Of numerous trials, is that
the turpentine oil Is equal to good
quality American turpentine oil.

"a ROYAL DEMOCRAT"

A Royal Democrat" featur-
ing Marguerite Marsh and Jack
Conway, the feature picture at
the Orpheum theatre, on Sun
day night, is the romance of a
village youth who becomes a
man in the hour of need when all
must fight against the outrages
forced upon the populace by the
domineering rule of Rayalty.
Crowds of peasants take
matters into their own hands
and fight in mobs in the streets
and public squares for their
rights.
But the cause of Democracy
and happiness is finally won for
them through the love of their
leader for a little flower of the
forest, a daughter of the poor.
The hero must make the SUI
preme sacrifice, that she may
know contentment. And his
efforts to assure her future well
fare are the factors which win
freedom for his people.

GALENS FAITH IN NosTRUM
Early Father Of Medicine Claimed
Wonderful Virtues for Compound
Known as Mithradatium.

Mithradatium was the name of the
great antidOte of Roman pharmacy. 1t
had from 40 to so vegetable ingredi-
ents, few of which had any real medic
inal value except opium, and these
drugs were blended with honey.
1t remained for Neros physician, An
dromachus, to put the finishing touches
to this wonderful compound. andre
machus added viper's flesh to the for
mula and called his new compound
theriaca. He wrote some verses ded.
icated to Nero, describing this medi-
cine and claiming virtues for it which
IN our day would subject him to pros
ecution under the antitrust act. Evil
IDENTIFY he believed he had created in
this one compound veritable pharma-
ceutical monopoly.
Galen, one of the fathers of medi-
cine, went even further. He recon-
mended 1t as cure for all poisons,
bites, headaches, vertigo, deafness, ep-
ilepSy, apoplexy, dimness of sight, loss
OF voice, asthma, coughs, splitting Of
blood, tightness of breath, collie, the
lilac passion (appendicitis), jaundice,
hardening Of the spleen, stone, fevers,
dropsy, leprosy, melancholy, all pes
tilences. etc. Nowadays he would
probably have included coupon thumb,
golf shoulder and movie eye.
AS Galen's writing dominated med
ical thought for ever 1900 years, it is
not surprising that this advertise
ment made Mithradatium, or Their
lea, valued remedy. Every physl-
clan of note for centuries afterward
claimed some improvement on the orig
inal formula.

MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS
Foolish Habit Of Leaning on Others Is
One That Should Be sternIy
depressed.

Most people who have succeeded in
any direction of activity can trace the
measure of their success to the habit
Of deciding things for themselves. One
OF the greatest temptations we have
Is to cOntide in otherSA BY yielding to
1t we not only become a nuisance to
our friends but keep on lowering our
own powers of resistance. It is worse
than useless to ask the advice of 9TH
ers, because they are rarely so much
interested In our troubles as we think
they are, or would like them to be. If
they were, they would have to know as
much about our troubles as we do, to
pass Judgment, and this we can not
tell them even If we would.
Sometimes indeed we may know too
much about our own troubles. or in
such a way that the continuous
thought Of them puts them in the
wrong perspective; but this situation
is only made worse by adding the
confusion of another's mind to ours.
By deciding everything for yourself
you make mistakes; but every mistake
is a valuable future asset. 1t is the
only way you can learn how. Learning
how Is very necessary. Unless you are
willing to do this and stand upon your
own ground, your permanent success
will be doubly difficult.-Pictorial Re-
view.

KELSO TAKES FALL.

Lieutenant KelSO, the aviator
who gave an exhibition of fancy
flying in Cottonwood some four
weeks ago had a narrow es-
cape at Colfax, Wash. where he
was flying last Thursday. "Me
for the Potato Patch," remarked
Kelso to himself, as the plane
with the engine dead started
earthward. Being to near to
the ground to reach his starting
point he headed his plane to the
potato patch and was approach
ing it nicely when one of the
wings caught in a telephone
wire, causing the machine to
abruptly change its course and
collided with a pole which was
knocked down.
The machine was badly smash
ed but the aviator and his pas
senger escaped without any seri-
GUS injuries. The accident
was witnessed by Mr.. KeIso's
wife. Owing to the fact that
the company had two machines
on the ground the aviator made
another flight the following day.

A dream once played its part in a
celebrated English criminal case-the
RED Barn Murder"-the memory of
which is kept alive by the melodrama
still played in country towns.
Mrs. Marten, the mother Of Maria
Marten, the victim, dreamed three
successive nights that her daughter
had been murdered and buried in the
Red Barn. She insisted that the floor
should be taken up.
This was done and the body of the
missing girl was found, and constitut-

Young children who have a

should have their eyes examined

Tricks of Watches,

Watches are tricky things in peace
time, writes a correspondent, and war
time seems to have made them trickier
than ever.
The universally of the wrist watch
has led to some queer discoveries. 1
know an officer, for instance, on whose
wrist no watch will work properly; the
same watches, transferred to another
soldiers wrist, regain their composure
and keep time.
In another instance the same watch
will persistently gain on one mans

other's.-London Chronicle.
