The identity of the author of the subjoined excerpt has been lost, owing to numerous credits of “Ex- change.” However, while it is not a “tame,”production, there are many truths in it that will be appreciated, both by the ‘‘knocker” and the Ll 9, booster”: “Itis easier to knack than to boost. Any idiot with a modicum of brains can criticise and find fault. Although he may never have made a success of anything he undertook he will glibly prate of how the affairs of the town, the city, the country, the state and the nation should be conducted. “The fault-finding kicker generally passes as a moral reformer while his own private life is as foul as a city sewer, and no one stands more in need of reforming than himself. One of the most useless as well as the most disgusting specimens of God’s carelesssness extant is a self- appointed hyporcritical reformer.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] “Many ice dealers predict higher prices,” says the St. Paul Dispatch. So do the consumers. Well, prosperity may not be here, but it looks encouraging to see these predictions of a car shortage at this time. Athwart the tumult of the chang- ing styles comes the muffled rumbl- ing and grumbling and roaring pre- monitory of spring house cleaning. Chicago fails to appreciate real heroism. She put in jail a man who had married fifty times, when he ought to have been given a Carnegie medal. It may be a mere coincidence, but there is something sinister in the news that coffee may he higher this year and that truck farmers are pre- paring to plant larger bean crops. “I have done nothing that should make me afraid to go home,” says Castro. Perhaps not, but things that seem all right at the club some- times look different when domestic- ally considered. They’ve found a “forgotten city” near Los Angelos. Funny no one at Cass Lake knows about it. How- ever, the name might be transferred to the forest reserve town, after the normal fight is over. HATTON WORKERS ON STAND Continuation of Wisconsin Senatorial Investigation. Madison, Wis., March 29.—Former Assemblyman Stout, one of Candidate ‘W. H. Hatton's workers, told the sen- atorial investigation committee that he was employed from January to Au- gust preceding the campaign, but that none of the work was done in his own district. None of his work was along the line of organization, but merely a preliminary survey of the situation. Fred Hess, former sheriff of Wau- paca county, testified that he worked for Hatton two months and received about $250, this amount covering his salary at. $125 a month and expenses. He knew: of no acts of corruption in the county during the campaign. W. W. Powell, a newspaper man and a Hatton worker, was recalled. In answer to a question he admitted having spoken with the senate mem- bers of the committee concerning the resolution for a separate investigation of Stephenson. Powell added that he had suggested several things that ought to be incorporated in the reso- | lution. George McDonald of Superior, pres- ident of the state barbers’ board, told the committee he had been engaged by W. W. Powell to work among the barbers at Racine for Hatton. Lieutenant Governor Strange ap- peared informally and explained the turning over of a check for $50 to Mr. Perry of Oshkosh and had a re- celpt for it. Mr, Strange said he was unalterably opposed to the use of moeney in politics. Asked if he would not even advertise in the newspapers witness said: “I wouldn’t give a nickel for all the newspaper advertising in the uni- verse.” WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE ON BENCH Justices: Fuller and Harlan Do . Not Gontemplate Retiring, ' Washington, March 29.—Rumors re- garding the possibility of appoint- ments to the supreme court in the were declared to be de- Gldedly premature inasmuch «s none of the distinguished justices of the supreme tribunal are contemplating retirement. Chief Justice Fuller and Assoclate Justice Harlan, who have CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER. been frequently mentioned as about to retire, are both enjoying the best of health, are deeply interested in their work, are declared to be in sym- pathy with President Taft and his ad- ministration and will likely continue to serve for some time to come. INTRODUCED BY CRAWFORD Bill Giving President Complete Con- trol of Canal. ‘Washington, March 29.—Senator Crawford of South Dakota, successor to Senator Kittredge, who was chair- man of the committee on interoceanic canals, has signalized his entrance into the senate by introducing a bill which would abolish the Panama com- mission and place in the hands of the president all authority over the canal zone. The bill authorizes the presi- dent to proceed with the excavation of the canal to completion and to ap- point a director and a chief engineer. The president is also given author- ity to remové any of the zone officials at his pleasure. Usual Cut in Coal Prices. New York, March 29.—The an- nouncement of the usual spring reduc- tion in the prices of anthracite coal has been made by the coal carrying roads. ary one of 50 cents a ton in the tide- water prices of the domestic sizes of anthracite for the month of April. A FAMOUS BEAUTY SPECIALIST Gives Advice to Women Lacking in Energy and Vitality. Thousands of women are using toilet preparations unsuccessfully. Cosmetics fail to improve their thick, muddy complexions or to' banish the pimples, blackheads and crow’s feet. No wonder. Their trouble lies far deeper than the skin. They have bad blood, and bad blood in 90 per cent, of the cases arises from inflammation of the mucous mem- brane. Their blood is fllled with poison which is certain to break out in unsightly humors and blotches— while pale drawn faces, deep circled eyes, stooping shoulders and “weak backs complete the story of suffer- ing and despair. Inflammation of the mucous mem- brane is catarrh. Banish catarrh and complexions will clear as if by magic, pain vanish,eyes will brighten, faces become plump and shoulders erect. Perfect beauty goes only with perfect health, and perfect health for women can only be obtained through Rexall Mucu-Tone, the one positive and permanent cure for catarrh, Mme. Swift, 44 W. 26th St., New York City, the most famous beauty specialist in the world and an accep- ted authority on all relating there- to, has this to say of Mucu-Tone: “I caan strongly endorse the claims made for Rexal Mucu-Tone as a cure for systemic catarrh. ‘Its tonic effects are remarkable. It builds up the strength and restores vitality. If women who are tired and run down, lacking in energy and yitality, will use Mucu-Tone, they will praise it as I do for its strengthening and healing qualities.” Rexall Mucu-Tone works through the blood, and acting directly - upon the muco-cells—the congestion and and inflammation of which are the sole canse of catarrh—causes them to expel the poison and -to resume their natural functions. Thus the membranes-are cleansed—the blood purified and revitalized. We know that Rexal Mucu-Tone will cure every form of catarrh, no matter where located, or of how long standing, or by what other name it is known, We guarantee to refund your money if you are not satisfied with the vigorous health and clear complexion it brings you.

NEW PROCESS FOR WOOD PULP Important Discovery at Uni- versity of Minnesota. LUMBER WASTE IS USED Experts Say Under the New System United States Will Produce One Hundred Times as Much-Wood Pulp Paper as Was Believed Possible. Experimental Plant to Be Con- structed Immediately. Minneapolis, March 29.—One of the most significant industrial discoveries of the age was admitted by Dean George B. Frankforter of the college of chemistry of the University of Min- nesota. It means, say experts, that the United States will produce a hun- dred times as much wood pulp paper as was believed possible. It means that every cord of fir lumber will yield $10 profit on by-products alone and that the greater part of the 60 per cent of a tree now wasted will be turned into dollars and cents. It means huge plants and new industries. C. A. Smith of the C. A. Smith Tim- ber company is almost the sole sharer with Dr. Frankforter of the process. So convinced, is he of the enormous commercial value of the discovery that an experimental plant will be constructed this summer in the West, to be followed immediately by the building of a mammoth plant. The processes are already patented, two final patents having just been granted. After the experimental plant is in operation it is probable that a large company will be formed, but there is no stock for sale. Dr. Frankforter has experimented on these processes for twelve years. The perfected process consists of tak- ing small pieces of waste wood or sawdust, laying it on a steel incline over a furnace and subjecting it to a chemical process of distillation. Car- ‘bon disulphide, or gasoline, is poured over the sawdust, dissolving the tur- pentine and resin, which pass off as gases into a coil of pipes leading to a tank. Similar to Sugar Process. The process is similar to the dis- tillation of sugar. Wood pulp Te- mains, free from pitch, and eminently suitable for the manufacture of paper. The existing methods of distillation left the pulp in the form of-charcoal. Dr._Frankforter extracted. from. one rd of Norway pfiic, WOrth §7.50, fur- pentine worth $41.60 and wood pulp ‘worth $39, or a yleld of $80 from $7.50 ‘worth of raw material. The story of the discovery reads Hke a story book, Walking one day in 1890 through the pine woods of the northern part of Minncsota Dr. Frank- forter noted an old stump which gave out an odor strangely unlike that of the ordinary turpentine. He took a sample back to the university, showed it to a friend in the faculty who hap- pened also to be a friend of- Weyer- haeuser, and mentioned his desire to experiment further. Within a week a milk can filled with the pitch of the Norway pine—for it was that that he had taken home—was sent him. He set to work. The then known process of distillation consisted in boiling the wood until the pitch was separated and the wood left as charcoal. Neither of these substances had much com- mercial value. He then happened upon the present process. Later he erected a small experimental plant near his home and ecapitalists, inter- ested, came to his assistance. The discovery of the process of making wood pulp came like a flash. The experimental plant to be con- structed this summer is not to deter- mine the value of the processes. That is settled. It is only to ascertain how a larger plant should be built. CHOCTAW INDIAN REVIVAL Unusual Occurrences Fail to Interrupt Services. Durant, Okla., March 29.—An unus- ual record was established at the re- ligious revival among Choctaw Indians in Bryant county. Almost at the open- ing of the meeting an Indian woman gave birth to a baby and the event occasioned no interruption. The second day Raymond Wilson and Ben Wade, fullbloods, quarreled while under the influence of liquor and Wilson killed Wade. This inter- rupted the service only for a few mo- ments during the fight. Three Indians were converted by the minister and the meeting closed. Fall Into the Flames. Scranton, Pa., March 29.—At Green- ‘wood, a mining village near here, Mrs. Anthony Robb and two children were burned to death and four other chil- dren were injured, one seriously, in a fire in a small grocery and dwelling occupied by Anthony Robb and his family. The woman and her two chil- dren were in bed in a room over the store. The ceiling gave way and they were precipitated into the flames. FLPINGS OBJECT T0 THE PAYNE BILL Resolution of Protest Adopted by the Assembly. Manila, March 29.—Floor Leader pine assembly presented a resolution embodying a memorial to congress op- posing the Payne bill. 'The resolution recites the provisions of the bill and then declares its enactment would be prejudicial to the interests of the Fili- Dpino people, especially go far as it con- cerns an economic administration. The resolution then continues: “The continuation of the bill would produce a great loss of revenue for the ingular treasury, 8o much so that it would be impossible to sustain' the present government. The financjal condition of the country is such that it would be impossible to impose new taxation, direct or indirect.” The resolution next approves a res- olution adopted in May, 1908, which asked the admission of sugar and to- bacco to America without any conces- slons hereafter and insists upon the adoption by congress of that resolu- tion. - In conclusion it protests “re- spectfully but energetically” against free trade for America here and limi- tations on Philippine products in America. The resolution also declares that the Philippine legislature cannot in any possible manner devise new means for producing an income to maintain its government. The resolution was adopted without division. 3 DISCUSS LABOR LEGISLATION National Conference to Be Held at Chicago April 10.
