Hollow Concrete,

According to the Bruckenbau, the production of hollow concrete bodies completely inclosed, which has hither- to only been possible within certain limits, is made easier by the new pat ent system of Stefan Rohm of Munich, who proposes to inclose block of ice of the required shape in concrete. Of course, small openings or channels would be left, by means of which the thaw water could escape. In this way it is possible to produce not only small concrete bodies with hollow cen ters but large ones as well. The pro- cess can be applied to artificial stone

OBTAIN VARNISH FROM TREE
China Has Source of Valuable Supply, But Its Poisonous Quality Limits
 It's Use.

Varnish is produced in China from tree commonly spoken of as the var nish tree, but known botanically as rhus vernicifera, which is found in abundance in the mountains of Hupeh. Kweichow and Szechwan.
 The varniSh is taken from the tree after it is about six inches in diameter by tapping at intervals of from five to seven years, until the tree is fifty or sixty years of age. A good-sized tree will yield from five to seven pounds of varnish.
 The natural color of the crude var nish as applied is black. It is con Sidered the most indestructible yarnish known. One peculiarity is that 1t hard ems only in a moist atmosphere.
 In China it is enormously known among the foreign communities as "Ningpo varnish," probably because 1t first came into contact with foreign trade there, writes Commercial At tache Julian Arnold from Peking.
 Many persons are poisoned when they come into even atmospheric con- tact with this varnish, which fact, un- fortunately, reduces its trade possi- bilities enormously. As yet no meth od has been discovered whereby this poisonous quality can be counteracted.

Some Early American History.

The Automobile Blue Book rakes up some early American history. Man kato, Minn., in pioneer days was the domain of the Sioux Indians. In 1862 this tribe, according to the tour bible, became dissatisfied with the slowness of the government in paying their an- nuit1es. Taking advantage of the fact that the Civil war had taken so many men from the country, the Sioux in- augurated one of the bloodiest mas sacres in the history of Indian war fare. The Indians were ultimately overcome by troops and imprisoned in Mankato. However, President Lin coin cOmmuted the sentence of all but 39. One of these died and the other SS were hanged from one scaffold on the levee in Mankato. The spot Is now marked by a monument.

A FAMILY
 MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says hi. Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Draught. Relief From Head
 ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgo1d, Ga Mrs. Chas Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am & user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, 1t was one of our family medicines Als0 fn my mothers home, when was Q child. When any of us child rem complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills. or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty reg ular until the liver acted well, and we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without it, for 1t certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of Black Draught when not so we'll saves lot of days in bed.''
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been an use for many years in the treat ment Of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it HOW enjoys Is proof of it's merit.
 If your liver is not doing it's duty. you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.. trouble may result.
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy fer these troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way, the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of eAzpritiss. Try t. Insist on Thedr eer&& the original and genAlae. 1 n

Gather Turpentine and
 Resin Facts

As an aid to the development of the naval stores of industry. statistics regarding production and supply of turpentne and rosin are being collected by the United States Department of Agriculture through specialists in the bureau of chemistry.
 Blanks on which to report have been sent to all producers and users in the United States whose names and addresses are available. This information will show the amount on hand April 1, 1919, the quantity made this season up to August l, and the estimated production for the balance of the season. It IS expected that the data will be published by September 1.
 Similar statistics regarding last seasons production and available supply of rosin and turpentine proved to be of much interest to producers and consumers alike. Information regarding last seasons output or blanks for reporting this sea- sons supply, may be obtained upon application to the United States Department of Agricul- ture, Washington, D. c.

EXPLAINING COLOR OF SNOW
Red and Green Shades Are Produced by the Presence of Organisms
 of SeaWeed Family.

Snow has both flora and fauna.
 The flora includes the tiny organisms
 of the seaweed family, which com
 monly produce the phenomenon of
 fred snow." Each of these plants" is a spherical cell, about thousanth
 of an inch in diameter. These cells multiply rapidly by the simple proc ess of splitting up to form new cells, and the latter are at first equipped with whiplike appendages which en- able them to swim in water. Red snow is not uncommon in the polar regions and on high mountains. Large tracts of green snow," produced by another minute plant, were found by the Charcot antarctic expedition.
 But there are also humble forms of animal life that give snow 8 red color. Patches of snow reddened with a microscopic rotifer, or wheel-animal- cule, have been found in the Alps and the Andes. M. Gain of the Charcot expedition found snow reddened with mites or tiny spiders.
 In Germany the term "snow worm" is applied to the larva of a beetle often found in the snow, says a writer in the Scientific American. Many species of insect are commonly found on glaciers. The most abundant of these are the springtails, which hop like miniature fleas or wriggle deftly.
 MT. F. E. Matthes of the United States geological survey has recently described some curious worms that abound on the lower parts of the Mount Rainier glacier. They are dark brown, slender and about an inch in length. On favorable days in July and August millions and millions of them may be found writhing on the surface of the ice, evidently breeding there and feeding on organic matter blown upon the glacier in the form of dust. ''So essential to their existence" says Mir. Matthes, ''is the chill of the ice that they enter several inches, and | sometimes many feet, below the sur face on days when the sun is particu- larly hot, reappearing late in the aft

Perhaps Snakes Couldn't Get There

Why are there no snakes in Ire land? The answer is: Because snakes had their cradle elsewhere and couldn't cross the Irish sea. They originated, apparently. in Asia and spread easily over Europe, and got across in considerable numbers into Great Britain, by aid of a now sub merged Hand bridge" but the Irish sea was too deep for that kind of bridge, and so snakes and toads never reached the Emerald isle, and few reptiles of any kind succeeded in get ting there. It is an old saying that God is good to the Irish."-Chicago American.

Western Women Want Peace Treaty Hatfield, so H. C. L.
 May Be Solved

The following statement of
 Mrs. George Bass, chairman of
 the Woman's Bureau of the
 Democratic National Commit
 tee, is based upon personal ob-
 servations during a tour of six
 teen Middle and Western
 States.
 By Mrs. George Bass
 Aside from all the local and national questions involving the high cost of living, labor con- ditions and other reasons for
 unrest, the interest of the wom- en of the West is largely cen- tered in the League of Nations and the various reconstruction problems. I found them af1ame with enthusiasm for the League and the President. They are distinctly impatient of carping critics who have nothng better than criticism to offer for the prevention of future wars. They brush aside such criticism as immaterial. They are will ing to take what the President has been able to obtain, be- cause they believe he obtained at the Peace Conference all that was possible for the pres- ent.
 I found great independence of thot upon political matters among the women. They are l not so deeply concerned as men when it comes to breaking a i precedent. and are far more willing to blaze new trails and I found them still with the Presi- dent. They followed him in 1916 partly and only partially because he had kept us out of | the war, and they followed him into the war, knowing that | we could no longer remain neu- tral. When we entered the war these women gave everything and they did it that there might be no more war forever, and they are willing to accept no negotiated peace that does not at least attempt to reach that end.
 There is general feeling also that ratification of the League and signing the treaty will do more than any, thing else to overcome the gen eral spirit of turbulence and un4 rest throughout the nation. There are enormous undertak- ngs ahead of us that will tax our ingenuity to the utmost one of the greatest of which ia lnding way to reduce taxa ion, or so adjust it that it's heaviest burdens shall be borne 2y those best able to carry hem.
