CarbOlic Acid Output Drons

From the Journal of Industrial and En- gineering Chemistry
 Before the war this countrys consump- tion of phenol was about 100000 pounds per year. The bulk of it came from England and was obtained from coal tar distillates directly. A small part was syEthesized from benzol. The general im- precision here is that this synthetic phenoI was made in German plants subsidized, and kept in existence by the government for war purposes.
 The production in the United States during the war continually increased At the time of our entry into the struggle it amounted to 75.0O0, 900 pounds per year, and after that time plants were erected so that at the end we had capacity to produce more than 15o 900 pounds. Of this not more than 100000 pounds was obtained directly from coal-tar sdistillates by extraction with caustic soda At the present time the consumption in this country is not much greater than 6. 900, 900 pounds per year. about equally divided between the drug and sdisinfect- ant. the dyestun. and the sy4tfetlc resin ] industries This means that there was at the time of the armistice a sudden ces-

Brain Sweat Creates.

Arthur Hunt Chute, in Leslie's.
 Brain sweat far more than brawn sweat contributed to the vast increase of American wealth. Emigrants flocked to these shores because here mental ability was most active in the creation of wealth. In China manual laoorer gets s750 a year. In America many a manual laborer gets s7.5O day China standing for state socialism marks time through the centuries. America standing for individuallsm marches steady forward, while here the lowest are ever sharing the re- wards made common property by the brains of the highest. Under the gulu- ance of American ability, labor pro duces the greatest wealth per capltfl on earth .
 MT. Gilbreth by his Motion Study has made it possible for the bricklay- CT to lay three times as many prlchs in a day as he formerly did. As re- suit the bricklayer today earns Tar more pay, and by his work he IS creat- ing far more wealth than formerly. His brawn sweat is no more than was before; the brain sweat of MT. Gll- breth has made the difference. These Seattle bolshevists, however, insist that mammal workers are the sole creators of wealth.
 In the old days a cobbler could stitch six pairs of shoes day. Now With American machinery and modern or ganization he can stitch 500 pairs Of shoes in one day. His physical exer- tion is less per day than formerly, while his income and output are both vastly increased. It was brain sweat and not brawn sweat that made this difference.

 Joseph D. Harrigan, Former Visiting Specialist to North Eastern Dispensa- tory, says: Let those who are weak. thin nervous anaemic, or rundown. take natural, unadulterated substance such as bitro- phosphate and you will soon see some astonishing results in the increase of nerve energy. strength of body and mind and power of endur- ance.
 Bitro- Phosphate is made entirely of the organic phosphate compound re- ferred to in the National Standard Dis pensatory as being an excellent tonic and nervine and a preparation which has recently acquired considerable rep- utation in the treatment of neuras- thenia. The standard of excellence strength and purity of its substance is beyond question, for every Bitro-Phos- phate tablet is manufactured in strict accordance with the U. s.
