SUGAR FROM COTTON SEED.
The oottn plant which has for so
many centuries, furnished a large
part of the population of the globe
with clothing, seems to be almost
without limit in its usefulness, le-
marks a scientific authority.
From the seed a valuable oil is ex
pressed, while the husks form an ar
ticle of lood for cattle in the shape
of cakes. From the lint whioh clings
to the seed after it has passed through
the "gin" felt is made, while the oil
extracted from the seed is applied to
quite a large number of purposes.
But, according to the British Consul,
Mr. Portal, of Zanzibar, Africa, cot
ton seed is also capable of yielding
sugar. A process has been discover
ed fer extracting sugar from cotton
seed mealk and, though the details of
this process have not been disclosed,
it is said that the product obtained is
of very superior grade, being fifteen
times sweeter than cane sugar and
twenty times more so. than sugar
made from beet. This indicates that
sweetoess is not due to cane sugar,
but some other cheaiical. Scientific

Every man, no matter what bis
station in life may be, whether he
fills an humble or exalted station,
can and should be a factor for the
accomplishment of good in some di
rection. In building up the place in which
ho lives, every one caa do something.
There is always plenty of work for
willing hands to do- As has been
truthfully said : "If you want a field
of labor you can find it anywhere."
There has been some talk of erecting
a cotton seed oil mill here and some
work ia the direcjtion of accomplish
ing this has been done, and we trust
the good citizens of -the town will
carry the scheme on to perfection.
One town needs this mill. And there
is room for many other good paying
industries here. But these cannot be
secured without some earnest effort.
Manufacturing enterprises do not
spring up by chance, but through the
medium of well directed labor.
The same amount of enery that
builds up and makes a cotton mill a
paring institution, and giving em
ployment to hundreds of men who
are thus enabled to supply their fam
ilies with home, food and clothing,
will start other industries that will
produce like results.
Some say if I only hnd the monjv
I would make a genuine boom in
town. I would do much toward im
proving it by erecting the necessary
buildings and putting in machinery
to start a number of industries. Let,
us remember one thing, where there
is a sufficiency of the right kind of
energy and enterprise tiiere is always
a way to utilize it. If one man can
not raise enough money to build a
cotton factory, perhaps ten or a dozen
can. Then form a company, combine
your capital, put energetic hands and
brains together and "ua.ke a lonjz
pull aed a strong pull" in this direc
tion and yon can hardly fail to real
ize satisfactory results.

A Little Daughter
Of a Church of England minister
cured of a distressing rash, by
Ayer'o Sarsaparilla. Mr. Riciiai:i
Biuks, the well-known Druggist, 207
McGill st., Montreal, P. Q., says:
I have sold Ayer's Family Medicine.-
for 40 years, and have heard nothing but
good said of thum. I know of many
Wonderfua Cures
performed by Ayer's Sarsaparilla, one
in particular being that of a little
daughter of a Chnr h of England minis
ter. The child was literally covered
from head to foot with a red and ex
ceedingly trouhh'-ome rash, from which
she had suffered fr two or three years,
in npite of the best medical treatment,
available. ITer father was in great
distress about the rase, and, at my
recommendation, at last began to ad
minister Ayer's Sarsaparilla, two bot
tles of which effected a complete cure,
much to her relief and her father's
delight. I am sure, wor- he here to-dsn,
lie would testify in the strongest terms
as to the merits of
Ayer's Sarsapar i!5a
