RUBBER"FRC¥THE~"CONGO

It Is Likely That Large Quantities of It May Soon Come To the United States.

A company dealing more largely in rubber than any other in this country expects to invade the Congo Free State for a great part of its supplies, Its president has just returned from Europe after a conference with King Leopold of Belgium with regard, to acquiring the right to collect rubber in the Congo Free State. This company pays about $10,000,000 a year for rubber, most of its supply coming from South America. It is inclined to think that it can get an excellent quality of rubber from Africa at a much cheaper price. It is said that a final proposition has been made^o the authorities of the Congo Free State and that it is probable that the deal may be closed.

It has loner been the impression that the raw rubber of Para was superior in quality to all kinds of African rublier and it has been asserted that this superiority was due to the finer quality of the milk of the hevea from which most, of the Brazilian rubber is extracted. The landolphia is the vine from which all the rubber obtained in the Congo Free State is taken.

It is now certain, however that this supposition i= erroneous. Rubber experts have asserted that the only superiority of the Brazilian rubber is due to the method of coagulation which produces an elastic gum that is practically pure, while the coagulation of the juice of the landalphia brought about in a 4iffeFcnt manner leaves much to be desired-

It must be said, however, tlia.fc,tjiji&lfar a considerable part of the raw rubber coming to the markets from the Congo Free State is. of very inferior quality. This is particularly the case with the rubber from far inland, where the industry is only just beginning and the methods of gathering and..coagulating the milk are still crude.

The resources of the Consfo Free S^tate in rubber are enormous. There is one district in the territory where the Belsnnn Society for Commerce on the Upper Conno is operating that contains over 3,000,000 acres, remarkably rich in rubber plants. There are at least a dnzen other "Teat re«ions in the state which are exceedingly rich in rubber resources. One of the greatest rubber regions of the world is thus coming prominently into notice. Fifteen years asro the existence of this source of wealth was scarcely recognized. Today we see American dealers looking- to this nevy region for their soii^fes of supply,

Who would have dreamed a few years ago that about $10,000,000 worth of rubber would nbw be taken every year from the forests of the Congo Free State? More than four-fifths of the value of all the commodities exported from that vast region is rubber. The next most important article of export is ivory but it amounts to only about $800,000 a year. The rubber exports are increasing by hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, and the time is probably not far distant when the Congo Free State will rival Brazil in the quantity of rubber it produces.

The Government of the Congo State intends to do everything it can to conserve this source of wealth. In order to prevent a'diminution of the supply of rubber, it now requires that for every ton of rubber produced 150 rubber vines shall be planted. A bureau of control of the rubber forest has been appointed to attend, to the enforcement of the law prohibiting the collecting of rubber in any other manner than through incis ipn« in the bark.

EVOLUTION OF WHAT IS NOW A GREAT BUSINESS

SOME MARVELOUS CHANGES

Gone Are the Good Old Days When the Model Was. Handed Down to Succeeding Generations.

Two generations ago a pattern was in the nature of a prize, even an heirloom. It was not to be lightly handled or lent, and its possession gave its' owner added dignity. Now, 10 cents will carry a pattern to any woman's door. They are used once, perhaps twice then thrown away as out of date. The making of them is no longer the work of one cunning hand. Each pattern is the work of many brains banded together ,n one great organization for the proper worship of the great goddess Fashion The pattern industry gives employment to thousands of workers and millions of patterns are made every year at the various pattern factories.

But fifty years ago, when our grand mothers were belles, things were different. If there was one imng more than another that grandmother treasured in the day of her young womanhood it was her paper patterns. A new pattern was •an acquisition greatly to-be desired, in consideration of the fact that in its passing from one woman to another it signified a favor, and had sponsors whose very names carried respect, it became a regular bond of neighborly sympathy and expression of esteem. Women exchanged patterns the same as they did receipts and domestic ideas.

Fashions did not change

'"i'-U"

of family dinners have .jeen given in her honor in the past few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Royse entertained for her last Sunday anil Wednesday Mr. Curry gave a large dinner in her honor at his home, south 01 the city, and Saturday Mrs. Jordan cave a family din-

111

those days

as they do now, and a skirt pattern having one gore in the front and awo on each side of it was the standard pattern. There were no fancy yokes, circular ruffles. Hares about tiie feet, habit backs, released tucks, and so on. A skirt was a skirt. It was sloped off gradually at the lower edge, faced, a neat braid bound around snugly, and then sewed 011 to the band the last thing. Oh, times! Oh, customs! And every woman knew that the pattern' went together with a straight edge to stay a bias edge. That was the only mystery regarding grand mother's pattern of a skirt.

In Grandma's Box.

Grandmother had a system connected with her collection of patterns. She kept them in a bag or box which was upholstered and vakmecd about the sides, and was kept exclusively for patterns. Grandmother could tell at a glance just what a pattern tied in a snug roll reprcsnted. No one else on earth knew except grandmother.

To the observer the contents of the pattern receptacle was merely so much waste paper. But every time grandmother used one of her pattorns to cut a garment after its lines, when she rolled the pattern up. she never failed to tie it with a strip of the goods that she had been cutting. Thus, by 'suggestion, the pattern was recognized at any future time. She had patterns of underwear for all seasons and for graded' sizes, and they represented the wardrobe of the family, from the baby's shirt to grandfather's trousers. Grandmother may not have been a cleverer woman than her feminine descendant of today but having larger necessities, she had larger creative opportunities.

Madame Demorest first conceived the idea of a business in tissue paper patterns. She it was who proved the practicability of the idea. Forty years ago she started her pattern business, working it out from first to last on original lines, and entering it in the pages of the magizine named for her, of which she was the editor. Madame Demorest died several years ago, and her magazine, after passing through various .vicissitudes in the hands of others who failed to. adapt it to present needs, also passed away. But the pattern idea lived, and it is a monument today to the originator of it. ..

Millions Now Sold.

It is estimated that the various pattern companies now engaged in the manufacture of tissue paper patterns issue upward of 15,000,000 patterns yearly.

The system employed in the bringing out of the new patterns is exceedingly intricate and employs many classes of workers. Every pattern designer works three and four months ahead of time, so that, it is while the snow is flying in winter that the spring designs are in the hands of the pen-and-ink artist. At the change of seasons the work of selecting designs is wholly anticipatory, and

this account experience and com

mon sense are. prime requisites of the office of fashion editor for a pattern manufacturing company. "£he fashion editor employs the fashion artists, and some of the cleverest talent is used in this direction. Designs are worth from three to ten dollars each, depending upon the quality of the work. From the artist the design is passed by the editor to the model maker, who reproduces the design exactly in tissue paper, pinning the parts together with the skill of a- first-class dressmaker. A first-alass model maker earns „frpm $20 to $30 a week.

•_

From here the design with tire tissue paper model is returned to the editor, who writes the description of the work in plain, practical terms, the latter going to the printer, while the design goes to the engraver. The tissue paper model in the meantime, is sent to the grader,

From the grader the graduated sizes of the patterns are sent to' the pattern cutter, who turns out thousands of each kind of pattern. Here again is lucrative employment and usually a man does this work. From his hands the patterns go to the folders, who deposit them in the envelopes, each .one of the latter calling for a special size to correspond with tno design and printed matter thereon. The pattern is now ready for the consumer and it is two months ahead of the season.

So it is watli the patterns that grand mother once procured from an obliging neighbor, has now to run the gauntlet of the whole business department to reach the hand of the consumer.

Farmersburg People Not Afraid of the Money They Entrusted to Woman Who Has Been Called Fraud.

This week's edition of the FarmersburgBee, appears with a strenuous denial of the report recently sent out from Sullivan that a woman giving the name of 3Jrs. Anna Zorger had fleeced Sullivan county people out of $500 in notes after which Mrs. Zorger disappeared. The Bee claims that but five notes were cashed and that these amounted to only $135. Later Mrs. Zorger returned and cashed two more notes, amounting to $80, and at that time she said sh© was sorry the reports had been circulated that she was a fraud'. The people are said to have confidence that she will fulfill her promises.

Physicians^: Evidence Before,, Arbitration Commission.

fpf§!

A MINE WOKKER'S TESTIMONY

Conditions in the Mines Compared With Those In Our Shops and Factories The Experience of David Collins Suggests a Remedy-^His Evidence Substantiated By That of, 9 SjIPtist Qlprgym^n.

A Wilkesbarre physician, testifying before the president's arbitration commission, declared that fully 99 per cent of the men who work in the coal mines are anaemic, their health impoverished and their general condition below par, thus decreasing their earning powers. The word "anaemic" is a medical term used to describe a condition in which the blood is deficient in quality, giving the victim a pallid look, dull eyes and listless manner.

That ninety-nine of every on§ hundred miners are alllieted with this disease is a revelation to most people, but a fact of much deeper concern is that the conditions that promote this disease exist in shops and factories in almost every city throughout the country.

Physicians who appeared before the commission testified that life is shortened by work in the coal mines. It is equally true that hundreds of thousandsof men and women at work in our great factories will die sooner because of being there.

The testimony adduced before the commission is substantiated by the following evidence given by one of the coal miners whose experience not only points out a danger, but shows that remedy is at hand.

A COAL MINER'S EVIDENCE. David Collins, a miner, living at New Straitsville, 0., was a victim of anaemia and the disease had reached that stage called "pernicious," which is generally regarded as hopelessly incurable. I11 his statement he says: "The disease came upon me very gradually. One of the physicians who attended me said it must have been coming on for about three years before it finally brought me so low that I was confined to my bed.. I first noticed the effects of it about eighteen months before I took to my bed with it. My stomach was most affected. It became very sensitive and would not retain food at all. My bowels also troubled me, my limbs were swollen and I had frequent hemorrhages of the. teeth, and gums and nose. "For nine months I was under a physician's care, but I kept growing worse till I was obliged to stay in bed. After I had been in bed three'days six different physicians called and all pronounced

my case hopeless. Then, when they acknowledged they had done all they could, andj| could not take their medicine nor wiild they prescribe anything else, the Kev. Ernest Graves, pastor of the Baptist church here, suggested the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. My stomach retained the pills when the physicians' medicines produced tne gi*eatest distress. As near as my nurses could judge immediate relief fol lowed. "There is only this to add: My death was hourly expected and upon takin Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills according to directions I left my bed in a few weeks and was on the way to recovery. Icon tinued their use and was cure^l."

A BAPTIST MINISTER TESTIFIES. The Rev. Ernest Graves, pastor the Baptist church, New Straitsville, whom Mr. Collins refers, speaks of the case as follows: "We have a striking example of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have done in this community at the present time, a case that borders on the miraculous. It is that of David Collins, a member of mv church and a very valuable helper in it. A few months ago he was taken very sick and was given up to die by six doctors. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured him and so thoroughly that now this man who the doctors said must die can be found any day working in the coal mine. I count it a great privilege to be able to say 1 advised nay, rather I insisted upon his taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

WHAT ANAEMIA IS.

Ananiemia, literally, means "blood less" and is actual deficiency of the blood and a watery and depraved state of that fluid. It is characterized by pallid complexion, pale lips, "dull eyes tongue and gums bloodless: shortness of breath on slight exertion—especially upon going upstairs palpitation of the heart, feeling of impending death, weakness, loss of appetite and ambition. If left to itself it is apt to result in decline and death.

The one remedy that has proved itself a specific for this disease is Di\ Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Pedple. These pills have never failed to effect a cure if used persistently for a reasonable length of time.

"change of life" comes to evfiry woman usually about her forty-third year and the monthly function begins gradually to disappear.
