Each man had his pack, some had
tools and many were scantily clad, and
nearly all of them came ashore without
a cent.”

Tells About Oleomargarine
A manufacturer of oleomargarine
gives this description of it:
“Oleomargarine is made by cutting
up the choice fat of healthy cattle
and heating it until the clear fat sepa
rates and rises to the top of the ket
tle. It is then drawn off, cooled and
placed under pressure. The mere
liquid oil, which is called oleo stock,
runs oil, leaves behind a solid product
known as beef stearine. The oleo oil
is then churned with milk, some
times mixed with a small quantity of
butter to impart a more characteristic
butter flavor, salted and made up into
marketable form. Every step of the
process is conducted with the great
est cleanliness. No rancid oil can be
used, nor is it possible to work in un
sound material. The product has re
ceived the indorsement of chemists
and scientists, health boards and sani
tarians until there is not the slightest
doubt of its wholesomeness and value
as a food product. And yet there ex
ists today, more than 25 years after
its introduction, such deep-rooted pre- ,
judice against it that it rarely finds |
its way to the table in its true char
acter.”
Wood Pulp Has flany Uses
Wood pulp is now used in the i
manufacture of many articles of com
mon use besides paper. Among these ;
articles i* the water pail made of wood
fiber, which is now a more familiar
sight than the one made of actual wood.
In addition to pails wood pulp is used
in our homes in the form of basins,
dishes, boxes and picture frames. The
use of wood pulp for car wheels has
long been known, but a new use re
** I
ported from Germany is that of tele
graph poles.
Articles of wood pulp have consider
able bearing on electrical industries,
as in the case of conduits and insula
tors in various forms.
Americans now use wood-pulp steam
and water pipes, shoe heels, horseshoes,
spools, tool handles, buttons, pulleys,
paving blocks and coffins. Paper—or
wood pulp surgeon splints have many
advantages over those of other materi
als, in their lightness, strength and
flexibility. Perhaps the most unique
use for paper pulp is for observatory
domes. Here again its lightness,
strength and flexibility commend it,
and in addition it lias none of the dis
advantages which arise from the use
of metallic substances near to sensitiz
ed instruments.
The federal government has ruled
“chocolate creams” out of existence,
as few if any, contain cream. Neither
do “jelly beans” contain jelly, and
they must be truthfully re-named,
along with other fancy candies and
crackers.
It is reported that the placer claims
on the Klahena river, near Haines, in
the Porcupine district, have been sold
to a New York syndicate for $125,000.
