Natural Resources of China.

One reads in Chinese history that
several centuries before the beginning
of the Christian era the banners OF
China were carried to the Caspian sea,
there to meet the banners Of Rome,
and that the way was thus paved for
China's silks and iron in European
markets. The Shansf iron industry is
claimed by a Chinese writer to be the
Oldest in the world. Like many others
of the great resources of China. the
country's deposits of iron ore have
been but little developed. Dr. Fl. Fos-
ter Balm. assistant director of the
United States Bureau of Mines. who
spent some time in China investigating
Its mineral resources, estimates that
China has 40O,G00,000 tons of iron ore
available and suitable for modern fur.
mace reaction and an additional 300,-
100000 tons that might be treated by
native methods.

Paner From Dead Leaves.

Owing to the scarcity OF other ma.
terials, paper was made in France
during the war from dead leaves.
The leaves are crushed. then the
powdered portion is carefully separat-
ed and the fbrous ribs and veins
turned into pulp. These are made
ready for use by simply treating with
I've. washing and bleaching. For cat
tie food purposes the leaf powder may
be mixed with molasses and made
into cake. For fuel, the powder may
be compressed into briquets. or it may
be converted into comparatively pure
porous carbon by destructive distilla-
ton.

ASPIRIN ROBBED OF
DANGER TO THE HEART
New Perfected Tablet, Called Aspi-
tone, is Slightly Stimulating Instead
of Depressing to Heart-Especially
Recommended by Physicians in In.
fluenza, Severe Colds, Headache,
Neuralgia and Rheumatism.

Physicians and druggists are very
enthusiastic over Aspitone, the new
and improved aspirin tablets that are
said to be slightly stimulating in
stead of depressing to the heart. They
explain that sever cclds, influenza,
fevers, headaches, neuralgia ard
rheumatism are almost invariably at
tended by weakness of the heart and
require stimulation rather than de-
preston. Heart failure, they say, is
especially to be guarded against IN
influenza and pneumonia, hence they
recommend Aspitone.
A gentle laxative with one or two
tablets of Aspitone, as needed, is now
the physicians favorite treatment for
severe colds and threatened rneumor-
ia It will usually cut short cold
or sore throat over night. Aspitone
tablets are also being used with
splendid results for the relief OF pain
in headaches, neuralgia and rheuma-
tism The leading druggists every
where are now supplied with Aspl'
tone. which is sold in sealed packages,
price 35 cents They may be obtained
locally at P. E. Ways Drug Store and
at Glider & Weeks Co.

KEEP YOUR TOWN ALIVE

A town is very much like an indiv-
ldual- To be hourishing, it must have
energy and enterprise. The people in
a town should remember that the in
d1vldual prosperity depends to a large
extent upon the character of the place
IN which their business is located.
Every public measure should be liber-
ally supported by all, especially the
business men, At the present day
there is much competition between
towns as there is among persons and
business enterprises. A man seeking
a location will invariably select town
that IS up to the times, and is eagerly
IN favor OF every modern improve
rnent. A town in these modern. times
can't afford to be peopIed with old
fogies OF antediluvian fossils who are
continually kicking at every enter
prise To make fourishing town YOU
must believe in its future and work

FROM FORREST CARPENTER

Camp Merritt, N J.
June 10, 1919.
Dear Folks:
Well, at last I am back in the good
old U. S. A. arrived in New York yes
terday at 1925 a. M and got into
camp here at $50 p. m. Got ride on
a real American train again. We were
eleven days on the water, sailing on
the U. s. S. Scranton. Had real good
weather all the way excepting for a
day so of real dense fog when we
reduced our speed half. I wrote you
a card from the docks saying I would
be discharged at FIT Russell but since
yesterday it has developed that the
company commander, 1st Segeant,
Supply Sergeant and company clerks
Will have to go to the camp where
most of the company goes and so
will not be discharged in Wyoming
as 1 thought but will have to go to
California. Then will return from
there after all the company records
have been fixed up and turned over
There are three of us from Colorado
who will go on out there but of course
will get travel allowance back to Col
orado.
Well, as I said before it seems very
good to get back after 10 months
foreign service and almost two years
both u S. and Foreign. While we
were anchored in the harbor the
Mayors Reception committee came
out and with them their band played
US into the docks. The first piece
they played was Home, Sweet,
Home" and right there had to swal-
low large frog in my throat
VIII be home now in a short time.
We have about 200 men in our train
to go to California and as soon as
we get about 100 more will go, which
l don't think will be over or 5 DAYS
at the most. Lots of work right now.

GRADING GRAIN

The United States government and
grain buyers have standard grades on
which wheat is always bought If the
farmers as well as all local grain buy
ers knew these grades well, there
would be considerably less misunder-
standing. The fact that some wheat
has lodged and that some fields are
badly infested with disease means
that it viii have some lightweight
wheat which will result in several diff
ferent grades being delivered to the
market for western Kansas this fall.
The Fort Hays Experiment station
has had Professor Fitz of the Agri-
cultural college furnish samples of
the different official grades of grain

COMMENT

The trouble with the Kansas Blue
Sky law is that it has been advertised
to much. Politicians have talked
about it and 1auded it to the skies
so long that too many of our peo-
pie misunderstood it and think that
it absolutely guarantees a person
against loss through an investment
in any concern that is approved by
this law, which isn't the case, but a
great many good people are roped in
to buying a lot of stock in various
concerns through this false belief that
otherwise would not invest. After all,
it's a sort of travesty the intel
Hgence of our people to have to have
a law on our statute books to keep
them from buying gold bricks.-Hoxie
Sentinel.
Another coal shortage is predicted
for next winter and we will likely get
it and along with it will get some
more high prices. Why it is necessary
for there to be coal shortage every
winter when there IS plenty of coal
in the ground and within easy reach,
has never been explained. It looks
like if the truth were told, it is be-
cause the mine owners do not pay suf-
fcient wages to justify the laborers
to do the work When the price was
fixed by the government the miner
got a very small per cent of the price
and the nine operators and the rail
road companies got the rest of it. If
a little justice was distributed thruout
the coal business there would be
plenty of coal mined and it would be
sold to the consumer at the right
price, -t.

ENDLESS CHAIN NOT MYSTICAL
Doctor Fighting influenza Explains
How Curative Serum Went From
Patient to Patient.


The prevalence of influenza and
pneumonia with their high death rate
makes it imperative to resort to heroic
methods of treatment rather than to
follow the accepted ones only. The
lack of serum or other specific remedy
for influenza, writes DR.. Charles Il.
Humbert in the Medical Record, to-
gether with the inability. to obtain
antipneumococcus serum forced me to
use convalescent serum.
The Endless Chain.-It is a we'll
known fact that persons convalescins
from pneumonia have anti-bodies in
their blood streams. AS soon as the
patients condition permits, therefore,
they are bied as much and as frequent
~ rs possible.
Serum is prepared and treated, and
is placed in stock. When another pa
tient comes in With pneumonia, treat
ment is begun. When conyalescence

ed. 1t is q case of one gives serum to
two, two gives serum to three and SO

Before the war the ocone which

crack that its vegetable oil had no

known chiefly as a bothcration to
banana planters when they wished to
enlarge their plantations. Eighteen
hundred pounds pressure is required
to crack the cocone nut. and there was
no machinery for doing it. Then gov
eminent experts said that nothing else
in the world would provide such good
carbon for gas masks MS the ocone

the creation Of machinery for crack
