"TO INVESTIGATE DEATHS
FROM TYPHOID FEVER
Deaths From Tyhoid Fever No Longer
Pathologically Warranted
Not until recently, says the State
Board of Health, has typhoid fever as
a cause of death been at all questioned,
-whereas many other causes of death
Aiave been given searching investiga
tions. But now when a death from ty
phoid fever occurs, some one is said to
be to blame. A noted English sanita
rian has said that every time one dies
from typhoid fever, some one should
be hanged. Aside from these views
and in the light of modern medical
.science, typhoid deaths are now admit
.tedly the result of sanitary blunders
or criminal carelessness, and instead
of a death from typhoid passing as
.providential, unavoidable, or for some
mysterious reason, its source will be
sought out and the responsibility plac
ed where it rightly belongs.

LITTLE KNOWN FOREST
PRODUCTS WIDELY USED
Mankind Dependent Upon a Large Va
riety of Forest Products Whose
Names Do Not Indicate Their Origin
Washington, November 14. In
addition to the ordinary uses of wood
with which we are familiar, mankind
is dependent upon the forest for a va
riety of products whose appearance
does not indicate their origin, say
members of the Forest Service. Nu
merous as these products are, and as
extensive aa is their use at the pres
ent time, science is constantly learn sag
new constituents which enter into the
makeup of wood and is finding new
uses to which- those constituents and
already known can be pat. " Powder
for munitions or blasting, disinf ec
tnt for protection against contagious
jljseases, and artificial silk for clothing
are amcmax.tne products ootaiaea in
whole orgfan part fro mwood.
Charcoal, as every ons knows, is es
sential for the manufacture of black
powder. All of the acetone used as a
solvent in making nitrocellulose pow
ders is derived from acetic acid, a pro
duct of hardwood distillation. Great
Britain, -it is said, is dependent upon
the United States for acetone used in j
making cordite. Black walnut is a
standard for gunstocks, and has been
so much in demand for the past two
years that our supply of this valuable
wood has been considerably reduced
and other woods, notably birch, are be
ing substitute!. From Europe comes
the complaint that there is a shortage
of willow for making wooden legs.
Pure wood alcohol is the only sub
stance which can be converted com
mercially into formaldehyde, which is
universally used for disinfectant
against such contagious diseases as
smallpox, scarlet fever and tubercu
losis. The experts at the Forest Pro
ducts Laboratory have conducted ex
tensive experiments on the production
of grain or ethyl alcohol from wood
and have been successful in experi
mental work in raising the yield and
lowering the cost of production. If this
process can be put on a commer
cial basis, the foresters say, it will re
sult in putting the millions of tons of
coniferous sawdust and other material
which is now wasted every year to a
profitable use.
by converting cellulose, one of the
elements of wood, into a gelatinous
material, known as viscose, a wide
field is opened up for the utilization of
wood waste, and a new line of products
varying all the way from sausage cas
ings to tapestry, is added to the al
ready lengthy list. Many of the so-
called "silk" socks, neckties and fancy
braids now on the market contain ar
tificial silk made from wood.
About nine-tenths of all the paper
which we use is made from wood. Be
sides the detailed investigations of the
methods of making: newsprint paper,
and of the production of paper from
woods hitherto unused for that pur
nose, which have been conducted, kraft
paper1, which compares favorably with
the best on the market, has been pro
duced experimentally at the f orest
Products Laboratory from long leaf
pine mill waste. This kraft paper is
brown in color and is very much
stronger than ordinary papers. It is
used for a variety of purposes, and, cut
into strips, is spun or twisted into
thread which is then woven into onion
and coffee bags, matting, suitcases and
wall covering, similar to burlap, and
furniture closely resembling that made
from reeds, as well as other articles of
common use.
Within the past year the Forest
Products Laboratory, has, by co-operating
with manufacturers, succeeded
in getting a dye made from mill waste
of osage orange put on the market as
a substitute for fustic, which we im
port from Jamaica and Tehuantepec.
These are only a few examples of
the work carried on at the Forest
Products Laboratory, say the men in
charge. Other activties, ranging all
the way from the study of decay in
wood to that of the resistance of wood
to fire, are in progress, and new dis
coveries are constantly being made.
Incidentally, the Forest Products Lab
oratory at Madison, Wisconsin, was
the first of its kind in the world, and ia
probably atill the best equipped. With
the possible exception of Germany, no
other country has done as much as the
United States systematically to inves
tigate the possibilities of its forest re
sources.
Immense Prosperity Here
This great wave of agricultural
prosperity is a natural sequence to the
increased diversification which has
been characteristic of Southern agri
culture in larger and larger propor
tions for the past several years.
Along with all this improvement in
the production, distribution, market
ing and price of Southern farm pro
ducts, haa come a gradual improve
ment in the farmers methods aa ap
plied to his finances and business.
Thousands of Southern fanners al-
readv have made themselves indenen
dent of the crop lien system. Others
have paid off their mortgages.

After the tannin is extracted this bark
is used for fuel purposes, for which it
it said to have a value of 60 cents per
Urn.
Taa extent of the savings rendered
possible by the aew methods is point
ed out by the fact that the roofing
mills of the United States- have a total
estimated annual production of 237,000
toaa of i lushed roofing of all kinds,
equal to about 11,300,000 "squares.''
By a "square" of roofing is meant 100
square feet. The utilization of the
waste bark ia this industry should, it
is said, enable the mills to reduce their
manufacturing costs appreciably.
In addition to the use of the bark
for roofing, papers made at the For
est Products Laboratory on the basis
of 80 per cent of waste tanbark, have
been successfully printed on a com
mercial twelve-color wall paper print
ing machine, and gives promise of be
ing entirely satisfactory. Other paper
of the same make-up has been made
into fibre conduits by a commercial
manufacturer.
Other possible uses of waste bark
which suggest themselves, say the
Forest Service paper experts, are the
use of bark mixed with ground wood
for the production of wall board, or
with sulphite screenings in the manu
fatcure of car liners. Studies already
made at the Forest Products Labora
tory indicate that it may be possible
to use waste hemlock and oak tanbark
in making sheathing paper, carpet
liners, bottle wrappers, deadening felt,
and the like.

PUTNAM'S HOUSEHOLD HANDBOOK
Has Innumerable Practical Ideas For
Making Housekeeping Easier. Space
Permits Only s Few of Those With
Which Its Pages Are Filled.
A good coat of thin white paint on
the outside of a screen allows those in
side to look out but keeps those outside
from looking ia.
The lower stair put on hinges makes
a good receptacle for overshoes.
Old wall oaner of lurht tones can be
tinted cheaply with a special tint for
use oa wails.
Whea a patch is put oa wall paper to
cover up a spot, the edges to be invisi
ble when pasted, should bo torn, not
cut.
Household work may be doao very
comfortably whea dressed ia a gym
nasium suit, which can be easily ami
quickly made from inexpensive mate
rial. .
A wooden tub or bowl will prevent
much of the chipping which dishes get '
from a metal pan.
A pocket oa INSIDE of a kitchen
apron cannot catch on anything sad
tear.
A niece of camphor ice put' away
with silver will keep it from tarnish
ing. Painting the lower cellar stair white
will prevent many a stumble in the
dark.
To nrevent match marks on white
paint, smear a little vaseline over the
spot generally used. After a few at
tempts to scratch a match on the
greasy surface, the most persistent of
fender will desist.
Prick an egg before boiling, and it
wil not crack.
Two home-made iron holders fasten
ed tog-ether with a tape a yard long
and thrown around the neck, will save
having to look for a towel in handling
hot dishes.
Suode shoes spotted from ra.n can
be renewed by rubbing with an emery
board the spots matted together bjt
water.
To keep a placket from tearing,
fasten the last or bottom hook, and
clamp it with a tack hammer. It will
not come unhooked and ease 3 the
strain where the garment is so often
torn.
Metal buttons that can be picked up
with a magnet will rust when washed..
An electric fan can be used for
warming a room quickly by placing it
in front of the radiator and starting it
running. All the air in the room will,
within a short time, circulate through
the coils of the radiator. If a box is
provided with handles, it will be ac
cepted by the railroad for checking;
just as an ordinary trunk.
Many common household articles
may be conveniently used for quite
different purposes than those for
which they were intended. Putnam's N
Household Handbook is lull or bints
like those below.
A handy little washer for a milk bot
tle can be made from the wire handle
of a grape basket, straightened "Out,
and the hook left on one end.
Rubber tipped door stops screwed
into the legs of a kitchen chair will
add to its height for use at the sink
or for ironing.
An asbestos mat makes an ideal
toaster.
An ordinary clothes-pin can be used
for holding small vessels steady on a
hot stove.
A cork fastened to the knob of a
kettle cover with a piece of picture
wire will prevent burned fingers.
A clothes pin bag made from tick
ing can be hung on a coat hanger and
pushed along the line as needed.
Liquid court-piaster applied to a '
scratch on kid pumps will make the
scratch almost invisible.
If a sewing machine needle becomes
blunted, stitch a few inches through
a piece of sand paper, and the point
will become 'sharp.
An extra book-case provided with
curtains at the doors can be used as
a linen closet
A dried-out egg Bhell with a hole
broken in one end will serve as a fun
nel for filling small bottles.
The nutcracker makes a splendid
little household wrench for cans and
bottles with screw teos, and for the
larger nuts on sewing machine and
clothes wringer.
A buttonhook with a loop handle
may be used effectively in adjusting
an electric droplight to a convenient
position.
Red Cross Seals 1916
The Red Cross Seal campaign is on
in earnest and Dr. L. B. McBrayer, of
Sanatorium, is again acting as execu
tive secretary.
Dr. McBrayer says the prospects are
very encouraging and he believes that
in many places sale of Seals will be
doubled; in fact, he is so thoroughly
convinced of this that he placed an ad
ditional order last week for half a mil
lion Seals. His first order was for one
million and he is expecting these to
arrive this week, whea they will be
shipped out to the various Woman's
Clubs and other committee that are
handling the Seals in the various com
munities. However, the committees
will not begin the active sale of Seal
until Thanksgiving.
Safferer From Indigestion Relieved
