PORTLAND CEMENT. ingredients Necessary In the Manu facture of This Product. ' By J. Shirley Joncn, Chcmlnt, Idaho Experiment BUtlon, Moscow. From tlmo to thno the members of tho experiment station staff aro asked for information concerning the proper ties, composition, and methods of man ufacture of Portland cement. Theeo inquiries aro usually answered hy tho station chemist. Uelow Is given a typi cal letter of Inquiry on this subject, and following it is tho reply given by tlio station chemist. WelBor, I ln., Feb. 20, 1908. I would like to know tho Ingredient and process of making Portland cement. Is tho body ol clay or BoapstoneV I tlilnk I have tho raw mutorial., Pieaeo answer nnd oblige. A. W. A great doal of tlmo and labor have been spent by various' chemists In in vestigating tho composition and prop erties of Portland toment. Tho con clusions drawn from these investiga tions are not alway concordant, but no one diesents from tho viow that the essential ingredients of this kind of ce ment aro lime, silica and alumina. Othor elements aro always present, however, among tfiem being magnesia, soda, potaslt, iron., phosphorus, man gancso, titanium, etc. According to Meade, rood cements vary considerably in composition, but tho threo import ant ingredionst will run about as fol lows: Lime, 58 to 67 percent; silica, 10 to 25 per cent; alumina, 5 to 10 per cont; and magnesia is allowable to the extent of 3 to 5 per cent. The raw materials from which Port land cement ia manufactured are classi fied as argillaceous and calcareous. Some common forms of the first are clay, shale, and slate, and of tho latter limestone, marl and chalk. In theee two classes of raw materials aro found all the ingredionts necessary in the manufacture of Portland cement. In the iron regions of Pennsylvania, how ever, blast furnace slag Is made to re place the clay or shale. From what ever Bource the raw materials are ob tained, the cement manufacturer must eeo that they are so mixed that tho product of calcination contains the Im portant compounds mentioned above in the proportions that experience has taught are tho orres necessary in a good coment. It becomes almost imperative then that tho chemical composition of tho raw materials should bo known. Although the writer is not personally acquainted with the limestone regions cf this state, it appears that there are at least two localities in Northern Ida ho where limestone Ib found In abund ance, and Binco clay Ib aho present, at least in spotB, in the same district, there seeme to be good reason for be lieving that In the future a great deal of "the Portland cement used in this state will bo made at home.

S.S.S FOR BAD BLOOD The most important part ot the human Bystcm is the bipod. Every musr cle, nfcrve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very " engine " of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can vcrv readily be seen how necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminatfd if We would enjoy the blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mankind ; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities, humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow complexions, eruptions, pinrples, etc., show that the blood is infected-with unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers, which break out on the flesh, oiten front a very insignificant bruise or even scatch or abrasion. If the blood was pure and healthy the place would heal at once, but being loaded with impurities, which are discharged into the wound, irritation and inflamma tion arc set up and the sore continues. Bad, blood is also responsible for Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the weak, polluted circulation cannot fur nish the nourishment and strength required to sustain the body, and a general run-down condition of health results. S. S. S. is nature's blood purifier and tonic; made entirely of tioallnrr dMnninir roots and herhs. It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity, humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones up the entire system. It adds to the blood the healthful properties it is in need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S. neutral izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, d perma nently cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions. S. S.
