Can serviceable paper ( be made from the now wasted stalks of the cotton plant? Can a marketable article be produced, at profit con siderable enough to invite the man ufacturer, from a raw material that heretofore has been a source only of cost and trouble? Can the an nual value or the cotton crop of the country-placed at $640,311,538 in the world's cotton-be materially in creased, not by farther outlay on the prt of the grower, but by using the rough stalks, till now got rid of at a direct cost of not a little money and an indirect expense in time and labor? Since 1908 came in these quest ions have all been answered in the affirmative by W. H. Croll, closely indentified with the paper industry of Indiana. The gist of the state ments which he declares he is now tstified in making (for he has busied himself for some time work ing at the experiments and perfect ing the methods which at last have led to his, invention) is, that from the cotton stalk may be made wrap ping paper, print paper, and book paper of genuine worth. . It has long been known that alt woody fibre is essentially alike, and all of it servicable, in varying de grees, for paper manufacture. One form has been preferred to another only because its reduction and treatment was more convenient or less expensive. In spite of this ao auemic knowledge, however, any such invention as Mr. Croll an nounces, is of real news value to the world of industry if the final tests of it, now about to be made on large scale, demonstrate that he has proceeded beyond mere Libra tory trials into methods of practical commercial value. It would not be easy to magnify the importance of any discovery by which any huge waste is turned into a by-product yearly; representing hundreds of thousands of dollars value. THROW OUT THE LINE Give Them Help and Many Astoria People Will be Happier. "Throw out the life line" The kidneys need help. They're overworked can't get the poison filtered out of the blood.

Prior to us ing them, I suffered a great deal from dull, heavy pains in my back and kid neys, this trouble having resulted from a severe cold. I was gradually growing worse when Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and being impressed with the good reports concerning them, I procured supply.

The ten- j doubtful if any city in the south dency of the "new woman to avoid (has a mors complete or whuKsome home duties, to enter the profes-j water supply. The water is at pres sions and occupations of men and lent obtained from 13 wells, nil of to regard marriage as hampering a "brcWer1 and "more intellectual career represents merely the ex treme swing of the pendulum in the movement which has brought to women many rights ana opportun ities not formerly enjoyed by them, according to Annie Nathan Meyer, who is one of the prominent con servative leaders of women's move ments. In this respect the likeness women to the American negroes after they were freed from slavery when they wanted to do only things that they had been forbidden to do previously. Following a similar im pulse women have been ambit- ous in their new-iounu treeuom to rival men in education and business and have looked with distaste on fitted to perform. 'The problem of the future will be how best to fit women for more effective service in the tasks that have never been denied them,"says to be led back gently but firmly from following false gods. They have to discard the notion that be- ause something was denied them m the past it must necessarily be that the home is so comparatively gress and the store, the factory and SCENE FROM the hotel are quick to take advan- tage of every advance? "Why is the home with is power, its influences, ist human interest, considered nar- row, while the counting-house with its greater routine, its duller de- man who plods all day over col- umns of figures doinir so much more interestinir work than the wo- man "who hangs over a cradle.' is pounding a typewriter more intel lectual than beating an omelet? These are questions that are beginn ing to be asked . "Slowly an' by degrees," the Ap- plcton article declares, "through wiser and more extended industrial ing for home-making and childrear ing, the old, old duties of woman hood, the scorned, belittled duties, will be enthronged in their rightful place. The cry to enfranchise the home will come to connote some- thing quite different from what it now implies. It will not be brought about bv dracuine the home to the polls, but by consecrating to the home the accumulated result of scientific knowledge and moral pro- women find the direction of the home to quote the President of the intellectual pleasure, rather than a .wearisome routine. 'Then, and then only, will enfranchised woman come fully and freely into "her own." WELLS FURNISH POWER. The use of artesian wells for pow er purposes is a practice growing rnmrfltr in ft, f tcclau!.,n! Vnll.. .....j ... .o..c, declares the February Popular Me- chanics m an illustrated article. Georgia, it is said, " has 400 such wells, some of which furnish power ' to run small mills. Artesian wells furnish fire pressure for one Miss issippi city, also. The article states: "At present there are within the corporate limits of Savannah no less than 50 artesian wells and it is , , -; . - .-'Vis, x v ,v ' . . -. .s . ' ::" i ....

These wells vary from 475 to 700 ft. in depth, and supply the city with 7,000,000 gul. of pure crystal, water daily, They are located along an irregular line about 100 yards apart, the water flowing into a common aqueduct which has a sufficient grade to carry the water with con siderable current to the pumping station. 'The sanitary effect of the arte sian waters on the genera! health of the towns, cities, and communit ics where they have been used tot a number of years is excellent, mat erially lessening the prevalence of chill and fevers in southern Geor ia. The little city of Albany is 1 fine example. It has a population of about 15,000 and 4s situated on the banks of the Flint river, with num erous swamps and liTwianus near by. Before the completion of the artesian wells the drinking water was obtained from shallow surface wells, and, the city was considered one of the most unhealthy in Geor gia. New Albany, with the sani tary conditions further improved by drainage, is considered almost health resort. The communities of "SHORE ACRES" Fort Gaines have experienced simf lar results." - PROTECT THEMSELVES. " In the French army the implc mcnts for defense while advancing against an enemy are. shovels and P'cks tor excavating earthworks and hatchets saws, hooks and shears for the destruction of obstacles, Each company of French infantry is now provided with. 200 spades, 32 pickaxes, 16 hatchets, and 16 pairs of shears. These are carried upon the knapsack or hooked to, the belt, each soldier carrying some one of the implements. in advancing against an enemy on a battlefield which does not pre scn natural shelter, the compan ies of sharpshooters are paired off, lying down the moment they stop H the contending armies are notts' pecially close together and the stops between advances are short a mask of earth to protect the head is suf fici'ent, and one soldier fires while the other is throwing up his mound of earth. If the armies are close together and the siege a long one, a trench is dug. The, momqntf the advance stops one soldier commences firing while the other digs a trench with his spade, piling the soil up at the head of the trench as an added pro tection. When his task is complet ed he slides into the trench and opens fire, while his .companion stops firing and constructs a simi- ar trench in the same way. HUGE PRICE FOR TIME, i Among raulroad Btories the popu lar pet is probably that oft-quoted legend which relates how tht Czar of Russia, laying a ruler on the map of his empire, drew a straight line from St, Petcrsburb to Moscow, then bade his ministers' build a rail- road according to that plan, Since it is attributed to an auto crat, this traditional feat may have merited the favor it has so long en joyed; yet it seems commonplace compared with the cut-off now be ing built by the Delaware, Lacks wana & Western Railroad between Delaware Water Gap on the bouti ary between Pennsylvania nnd New Jersey and Lake Itupatcong, forty seven miles from New York, Al though but 2R45 miles long this cut -off establishes several new world's records in railroad construc tion, To be lure, the Lackawanna al ready has a double track line be" tween these points, upon which, by industry and frugality, it contrive to earn annual dividends of twenty per cent; but having been built be fore the company became a prey to prosperity and through what paste for mountain in New Jemey, the present road is o crooked that the nine and a half mile would, if plac ed end to end in a coiuccutit'e spi ml, make five complete circle and a half. In other words every train that passes over the road winds through a tortuou coure which i equivalent to traversing a complete circle every seven mile. No won der the natives are firmly convinced that the engineers are able to find their way over the road by follow ing the telegraph poles. The chief engineer ultimately fund a route that is only three miles longer than an air line. It shorten the distance from 39.57 miles to 28,45 mile, the saving of 11,12 mites, being two two and a half per cent of the dis tance between New York and Buf falo. The maximum grade ia cut down from W.2 fc&t per mile to 29,04 feet per mile, and the total rise and fall from 2S4 feet to 11 feet, while the total curvature i reduced from 1,999 degree to 430 degree, which is equivalent to eliminating four complete circle and a third, The estimated cost of the cut off was S9.5IXWXJ. When the engin eer had finished their calculations it was found that the saving effect ed by the reduction in distance, grades and curves on annual traffic equal to that in 1905 would pay the interest on an . investment of $10, 500,000, or a million dollars more than the actnal cost.
