NDE IIVEKING OBSERVER
ILL UTILIZE
WASTE WOOD IN
DISTILLATION
CBy Rulph Caaey) .
EUGENE. Feb. S. (Srjeciali
So successful hug been the process
discovered and performed by Frof,
O. F. Stafford, head of the Univer
sity of Oregon chemistry depart
ment, for the utilization of waste
wood m the production of charcoal
and wood distillation products, that
one ot tne two big corporations util
izing this method. on a commercial
scale will soon increase the capacity
of its plant. i
This company is the Tennessee1
tEastman Corporation, a subsidiary of
the Eastman Kodak company. The
plant, located at Kingsport, Tcnn-,
has a capacity at present of 200
cords daily. This will be increased
with the installation of new equip
ment, according to word that reach
ed the campus this week.
Since Prof. Stafford and the firm
of Boston engineers behind him
demonstrated that his process was
Sractieable commercially, leading the
astman corporation to establish an
industrial center at Kingsport, there
has been a: marked development at
the Tcbnessoe city. A- village, con
sisting of thrity-one modern houses,
iWUi constructed for employees of
the plant. The village will:-house
loo persons. Besides , the construe
lion of the village, a great' deal of
construction work has been; under
taken in the plant itself. Prof.
Stafford was in Kingsport during the
entire period of the installation of
the retorts and other equipment, and
this work was undertaken under his
directions and the tests were made
under his supervision. . .r
' ; Solid, liquid and gaseoUs products
obtained by the Stafford process are
utilized. The Tennessee Eastman
)lant attaches its greatest . impor
tance ' to the acetone and alcohol
which are used in the manufacture
of nhotwrranhic films, but the char-1
coal and the minor by-producus find
ready market. .
"The fine -. charcoal screenod out.
of i the graded material is utilized hy
moulding it into - briquets," says an
account . of production under the
Stafford process i'n . a. recent issue
of the Kingsport Times. "The briq.
nete ro not under the ' name of
'charkets.'- Thene charkets are util
ized in a varietv of ways. A con-
siderable percentage of the output
is burned in broilers in-dining cars
and hotel restaurants.' The charkets
have been found to be especially well
adapted to the heating of fruit cars,
for while they produce an intense
neat iney ni me same lime proouce
no odor of any kind which would
destroy the flavor of the fruit. In
fact, it is altogether likely that
these charkets will revolutionize, ,the
business of fruitl shipping." -. It ;
Besides the acetone and wood'-al
cohol obtained by the' Stafford pro
cess, various .wood oils are produced
which are imbued 'with many com
mercial possibilities. A market has
been found' for them in connection
with their value as preservatives liof
wood. Other i wood nib aretused in
the manufacture , of medicinal, creo
sote, guai acol and various desinfec
tants." ,
Until Prof. Stafford perfected his
process it hod not been commercially
practicable to utilize small - waste
wood or mill waste in the carboniza
tion and wood distillation industries.
Prof. Stafford first began his work
on the University campus in 1017
when he set up a semi-commercial
scale apparatus. After he had dem
onstrated his process scientifically, he
went east on leave of absence when
a. Boston firm of chemical engineers
made a proposal to back further pre
liminary expeiments. The outcome of
these expeiments was iso successful
that the Eastman' company was in
terested. ' - ; .
Prof. Stafford spent the Christ
mas holiday period in Boston prepar
ing specif icationB for other wood dis
tillation developments.

soon realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in uu interview of the subject,
made an atitoiiishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected ik because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, ami the lure ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, medium
