USES FOR ASBESTOS
Marvellous Progress Made In Last Half
 Century

within the last half-century more different uses have been found for as- bestos than man has devised for almost any other known material"
 This statement was made recently by an authority on the subject-a rep. resentative of Johns Manville. Inc, As bestos Manufacturers, of New York.
 And yet" he explained, despite the comparative neWness of the finished asbestos product, asbestos itself is very, very old. It is older than almost any thing else in the world. Back in that ancient time which geologists call the PaleozOic age, millions of years ago. asbestos was formed in earth by ter rife volcanic pressure. Through all the ages since, it has remained in the ground, absolutely unaffected by heat or cold or rot or decay.
 For a long time before the useful ness of asbestos was recognized, it was considered something of freak. There was some reason for this, seeing that asbestos seem to upet the law of na- ture: A chunk of rock heavy and dense as marble, and yet composed of such delicate strands that it may be woven mad carded and spun as easily as wool or cotton or silk.
 The appearance of a mass of carded asbestos wool gives one the impression of most inflammable material. Yet touch a match to it and absolutely noth- ing happens; it is fireproof It does not appear to be an enduring thing. vet for ages it has withstood the ravages Ot time. Steel, which is usually con sldered the last word in durable ma terials, will rust and decay as a result or ordinary weathering asbestos re- mains absolutely unaffected by atmos- pheric conditions.
 Such basic material as this, that can withstand all the assaults of fire and time and weather, should certainly De put to use for mans benefit. And 1t most decidely is.
 :, Tt has been calculated by authorities that efficient insulation would go long ways towards reducing the nearly one-half billion dollars worth of fuel wasted in the United States each year

Asbestos now takes leading part in such insulation purposes. But par ticularly. asbestos is help in reducing waste, in the matter of affording fire protection to houses and buildings. Seeing that about e per cent of all communicated fires in this country are roof of-communicated. it is not hard to understand how fireproof house roof can be a great help in reducing this waste. And asbestos roofs are abso- lutely fireproof."

 God is vitally concerned is the morality of our nation. A,natior may live and hold to erroneous andinjurious positions concerning political or governmental questions such as protective tariff ship subsidy, etc, but a nation can no more live, progress and prosper with bad morals than can an individual When honesty. virtue and temperance shall fail us, we shall become fraudulent, inn moral and drunken. In all the past history of our government whatever has been the political platform of a man, no dishonest, leeherous or drunken man has ever had the temerity to seek even a. nomination for the race. This IS significant pronOuncement upon the moral ideals Of the American nation. In the coming election the candidate accepted by, nomination of our repre- sentatiyes in convention will again in dicate the moral condition of our na- tion. While I may not give his name, I think l may safely predict the man who will be elected.
 First, he will be man who believes jn God. The greatest conserving and preserving power in character by con sensus of the wisest and best opinion is the belief in an all-wise, all-powerful and just God to whom we must account for. our actionss In, our past history umdergall circumstances where fidelity in office or truthfulness in testimony have been expected of citizen, it has been decided that an oath in the name of his God and his hand upon the Bible would not only impress but inspire to veracity in speech and fidelity in office. The belief in an all-powerful God whose eve IS upon us cannot fail to be great restraining and preserving force in character. The American nation with groups of skeptics and atheists except ed, believe in God which is a most wholesome and hopeful indication. Our next President will, therefore, be a God ly man..
 In the second place, our next Presi- dent will believe in the Bible. The Bible is still our national book. More copies of it were sold last year than of any other book published. This Bible, accepted asa book from God with its wise and sacred teachings is another great restraining and preserving force Tn individual and national character. A story Oft-repeated because doubtless duplicated over and over again,-repre- sents a traveller in the west where in- habitants were scarce and life was in constant jeopardy, calling at an iso- lated cabin for a nights lodging. The woman informed him that her husband and son were momentariIy expected and of course, they could not turn him into the wilderness exposed to wild beasts at nightfall. She asked him to be seat ed and await the coming of the hunters
