FATNESs NO SIGN OF HEALTH

When a person becomes stout after
about forty years of age it does not
worry him, or her, unless the stoutness
be so great as to cause discomfort or
Disagreement. Nevertheless, the statis-
tics of life insurance companies prove
that increase of weight with age Is
not favorable to length of days, &C

PROVIDES FARMS FOR POOR
sslf-Help Project Fathered by Nsbras-
ka PhiIanthropist Seems Move
In Right Direction.

a. D. Watson, millionaire farmer
and philanthrOpist of Kearney, Neb.,
who is perhaps doing more than any
other one man in the United States
to make the "back-to-the;land" move
ment a reality. is In Alamosa investi-
eating the advantages of the San Luis
valley as place to locate one Of his
community farm projects, o. E. Meyer
writes in the Rocky Mountain News.
Mr.: Watson already has acquired
tract of 300 acres at Carbondale, Colo,
and Is now making arrangements for
starting one of his farm communities
there. However. the Carbonate dis
trict is limited In extent and land is
higher priced, and he found 1t mex
pedient to acquire as large tract
as he wanted. He will settle family
on each % acres Of the Carbondale
tract, and the only condition which
Mr.. Watson places upon an applicant
for one Of his community tracts is
that the applicant be absolutely with
out money or other property.
The tenant is located on the tract
with all necessary tools, stock and
seed furnished. In addition he Is
furnished with sum of money during
the first year. After that the land L.
expected. to produce enough to make
living for the family and provide a
sinking fund for paying for the land.
In six or eight years the farmer, If
he is the right sort, owns his land.

DYE WORKSl

OF these intermediates, one Inc OF

high explosives, another poison gases,
still other perfumes, food davors and
Photographic materials Some have
varying peace and war time uses with
out further treatment. 1t should be
noted that some 81 these crudes re-
quire as many as lifteen manipulations

each MANIPULATION a by-product is
produced which again must be made
into something useful in order to avoid
waste.
is because of this treatment and
retreatment of coal, crudes and inter-
medates that it is so easy to convert
dye plant into factory for the pro-
duction of high explosives or poison
Gus gases almost over night.
Germany was indeed farsighted,
back in 1859, when she took advantage
of Perkins discovery, and began the
development OF gigantic dye industry
so that she might never be without the
crudes and intermediates so essential
to success in war or peace.
Germany developed the synthetic
dye industry, just as she developed
other industries, to create employment
and wealth for her millions. But
through these developments she learn
I'd the value of chemistry, of chemicals,
and OF chemists themselves. She real
lied early how dependent her peace
development was on chemistry and
she soon saw the value of chemical in
dustries to war. Germany saw that
the manufacture of dyes required much
chemical research and also that dye
making made use of the waste prod
ucts from the coke ovens, themselves
a necessity to her iron and steel in
dustry. She saw its value in the pro-
duction of explosives, gases and fer
tilizers for her fields. This foresight
gave Germany forty year start on
the United States, and the rest of the
world.

American Chemists Have Accomplished the Wonders

THE ALcHEM1sT's DREAM

Through the literature OF the an
clients runs the absorbing story of the
alchemist's patient search for the
tombstone which would transform all
base metals into pure gold, and the
never-ending quest for the elixir which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure all human ills. The alche-
mist, driven from cellar to garnet and
often put to death, had an elemental
knowledge of chemistry and vaguely
dreamed that it could be made to per-
form wonders.
1t was Ben Jonson's alchemist,
Subtle, back in the early seventeenth
century who planned ito change all
that is in my house to gold, and early
in the morning to send to all the
plumbers and pewterers and buy their
tin and lead up; and to Lothbury for
all the copper And more than that,
by means Of this magic elixir, in eight
and twenty days he planned to trans
form an old man of four score into a
prattling child.
Certainly, chemistry has not sue
ceeded in performing these marvels.
The philosophers stone still is an I'M
known quantity to science, buried, per-
haps, with the pot of gold at the rain
bows end, and the elixir of youth is as
deeply hidden as on that far-off day
when De Soto set forth so havely
from Spain to find it in tffe-rew world
But chemistry has accomplished won

products which Contribute to every
phase of our daily life. Take the
fairy glass of the chemist and look in
to this rather uninteresting substance

We put kettl- of it over a fire and
we see leaving at various times what
the chemist calls the Crudes-benzonc,
toluene, xylene, napthalene, phenol,
anthracene, carbazol, and some others.
