EDISON PATENTS DEVICE TO GET PLANT ROBBER Process Embraces Involved Refinement of Pith of Goldenrod. By Pcl+nce . 'n ire WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—Thonlas Edison has tak*>n stops to protect his scheme for getting rubber out of goldenrod and other small plants by taking out a patent on the process. His new patent, just Issued, bears the serial number 1,740.079. The difficulty about getting rubber out of such plants as goldenrod lies in the fact, that most of it lies in the pith and in the bortex, or bark-like outer portion of the stem, while the bulky woody inner parts contain little or no rubber, yet clog up the extracting machinery and involve a lot of expensive handling of worthless material. Edison's process aims to get rid of this rubberless part of the stem. Open Pith Seams In the process as described in the patent, the dried plants first are crushed between rollers, to open up the pith seams and break the bark. The crushed plants then are cut into Pieces one-half inch long and soaked in water. After this they are put into 8 water-filled ball mill. A ball mill Is a device somewhat like a concrete mixer, which tumbles its contents over and over with a number of hard steel balls. Tins rapid pounding breaks the bark into small 'ragments, but shreds the woody part into fibers. After about an hour in the ball mill the contents are screened, separating the bark fragments from the fibrous inner portions of the stem. This mass can be used in paper making or similar manufactures. Rubber Floated Off The second stage of the process consists in grinding the separated bark and pith pulp in water and permitting the solid matter to settle in a tank. The rubber particles, being lighter than water, rise to the surface and are floated off. Edison claims that this process is commercially practicable for producing rubber from goldenrod and other small herbs and shrubs. It is not known whether he actually intends to begin commercial operations using this process. Way to Get at a Cold Is Through Elimination As soon as you catch cold, the pores close; perspiration is checked. Gases and waste can’t escape through the skin. That's why your doctor’s first advice in case of colds is a mild laxative like cascara. Medical authorities agree it actually strengthens bowel muscles. You get cascara in its most pleasant form in candy Cascarets. Remember this when you catch cold; whenever breath is bad; tongue coated: or you're headachy, bilious, constipated. Why resort to harsher things when Cascarets activate the bowels so quickly, so harmlessly and pleasantly—and cost only a dime? —Advertisement.

Deriding the domestic accomplishments of the Labor government, Baldwin said: “It is inexplicable to me what pull the Russian government has on the Labor party. To enter relations with Russia at present, seems to me an intorelable humilitation for Britain and it gives the lie to all we have upheld for generations past.”
