Three-fourths Of the American dead

an inquiry yesterday from Senator
Chamberlain as to the wishes Of rela-

less danger of disturbing them. the
best of the chickens were picked out
and put in crates and fed until they

within four or five days after the

there were always at hand chicks in

In the pens the mash was fed twice

green food in small quantities was
supplied daily and whole or cracked
corn, according Ito the. size of the
chickens, was thrown to them at noon,
and in warm weather there was a con-

building and for use In soap and 9TH
er manufactures of various kinds.
The new methods of getting tur-
pentine and rosin from the dead
trees. stumps and roots may be seen
almost anywhere between Savannah
and Jacksonville. About sixty miles
from Brunswick, Ca, there are fields
near the railroad, from where you
can see them making turpentine in
this way as you ride by on the cars
You hear the explosions of dynamit-
ing the stumps and see clouds Of
smoke and dirt, stumps roots and
even whole trees flying into the air
Teams of mules driven by negroes
move about through the rough
ground after the explosion. and the
pieces of wood blown up are thrown
into carts and wagons and hauled to
the sidetracks of the railroads. They
are there loaded upon cars for ship
ment by trainload to the Brunswick
distillery
The work of getting the gum out of
the dead wood is done by secret
process, for which patented ma
chnery is used. My information con-
cerning it Is from Mr. Albert M.
Smith, secretary Of the board of

Canada. Some of the processes require
gasoline to extract the turpe ntine,
and the plant has a gasoline tank
which contains more than l.000, 900
gallons of gasoline.
Pine oil, which is a byproduct of the
turpentine, is used for medicine, and
also in the fotation processes for the
extraction of metals and especially
III the recovery of copper. 1t goes
from the distillery to the west in
tank cars.
The farmers are now careful as to
the life of their trees in making of
turpentine, and the industry will grow
more important as the sources Of sup
ply decrease. The long leaf pines are
being rapidly cut, and the extraor-
dinary demands of the war have made
additional inroads upon the forests
The old method Of cutting boxes at
the roots of the trees weakens them
so that they are liable to blow over
during wind storm, and an enormous
loss of timber has occurred in that
way. AS 1t Is now 1t is costing some
thing like three times as much to
produce turpentine and rosin as it
did twenty-five years ago, and for
this reason the turpentine farmers
have been studying the methods of
other countries. They have learned
much from the French. who handle
their turpentine-cutting in such a

emptted into the boiler and the top
Is shut down. Then a fire is started.
The gum. which is of a waxy, crystal

the tree is about ready to die. 1t is
then sold for lumber.
1t is estimated that a tree In four
years should yield sixty pounds of
crude turpentine, and about thirty
pounds of good rosin and in addition
certain other by-pruducts. OF late
they have been getting more sap by
better methods of gathering. Instead
or cutting the boxes at the root Of the
tree. they hang little cups of galvan-
ized iron on nails driven in the base
or the tree, and the gum Ia guided into
these cups by strips of sheet iron
tackled along the SCARED surfaces.
This weakens the tree much less than
the old way of cutting boxes into
the trunks
] am told that turpentining does not
injure the lumber and that recent ex-
periments of the United States for
estry service show that the wood
from trees so treated is as strong as
that from trees that have never been
boxed

The Bureau of War Risk lnsur-

portance to service men of one of the
provisions of the War Risk Insurance
Act upon the fulfillment of which
may depend the validity of their
claim to compensation under the Act
The War Risk Insurance Act pro-
vides that 'No Compensation shall
be payable for death or disability
which does not occur prior to or with
in one year after discharge or reslg-
nation from the service, except that
where, after medical examination
made pursuant to regulations, at the
time of discharge or resignation from
the service, or within such reason
able time thereafter, not exceeding
me wear, as may be allowed by regu-
,ations. a certificate has been OBJ
tanned from the director to the ef-
feet that the injured person at the
time of his discharge or resignation

csult in death or disability"
Many discharged men are not fam

gard this provision of law and are
