IMORE OIL FROM OOTTON SEEE By the Use of Cortain Chemicals th Last Traces of Oil May he Got;ten from the Ootton < Seed Meal. News and Courier'.

Consider able more oil could, b extracted frm the cotton seed il| suitable solvent were used to remov , the last traces of oil which are njoi left in the cotton seed meal and wine it is impossible to remove by th methods for the manufacture of ,a edible oil. A recent discovery ha I been made by chemists which will td ' away with carbon bisulphide tor ex trading the oil from the meal. Th > bisulphide renders the oil unfit fo i edible use and is extremely eombusti hie. For this reason only one or tw such plants have been establisluu The new process contemplates the us of carbon tetrachloride, which is better solvent and is non-iuflammr hie.

Pearson's Weekly. , Smoker's are frequently tempted il to increase their consumption of toil bacco, in proportion to the extension f of leisure at command. Smoking exi erts a special fascination when it may I- bo indulged in every moment througho out the day. The temptation has alv ways been found difficult to resist, e when it besets a man who is on holia day bent. The mere absence of ree strict ions tends to induce pleasurev seekers to be more free than they othli erwiso would. 0 The two grounds upon which smok11 ing is condemned which appear worthy of serious consideration arc the ? poisonous action of the nicotine and ! the useless expenditure entailed. Let cl us take the latter objection first. . j That tobacco is a necessity ? for health and happiness no sane person j j would over contend. All that its c most devoted friends can claim is that smoking is an expensive luxury. A luxury, in fact, that affords , an amount of enjoyment out of all ^ proportion to its trifling cost. n More serious harm results from ?_ lack of self-control with regard to r dietary than is ever likely to follow from even an excessive use of tolmc1 co. Indeed, there is not a single thing ' we enjoy, though it be perfectly ^ right and lawful in itself, that is not equally open to some similar objecIS tion. -j. Perhaps the strongest argument ^ supposed to tell against the smoker c ba^ed upon t!ic i o:snncus action of nicotine when il has entered \,t ' (ir'culatory system. This intoxiea;f tion has never been dis])uted, for it inevitably follows a too extravagant consumption of tobacco. Yet it is ^ only when tiie smoking is exceSs'.Vo I that any baneful influence is exerted on the healthy body. 10 j Kxactly the same kind of toxic (properties that non-smokers ascribe L to tobacco attach to other vegetable grovdis in common and daily use. Now, what are the conditions so 'S i , frequently described as the direct outcome of excessive smoking? They are but two in number. (1) An altered rhytlun in thebeatingof the heart; j and <2). an impairment of vision, j which reduce-; the power of distinI guishing colors. j These conditions are never brought about un'rss the smoking lias been carried to uuwarrantable excess. I ,c When either of them is detected, I* either by the physician or the smok ? or himself, there .> ;*ri.i??* warning to j pul :i man on his guard. If he is 1 prompted to reduce his consumption >t of tobacco, or I > abandon smoking alts together, the 'rouble soon clears up, >o an t no permanent injury is the least n likely i<? ( n.-nc. y The late I'rof. Huxley once wrote, ry ' Time is no more harm in a pipe ;il than :liei(- is in a cup of tea. You s- may poison yourself by drinking too V* inn 1. lea, or kill yourself by eating to,i many beefsteaks." nl Dr. Lancaster said: "I dare not as a a physiologist or a statist tell you, v- that there exists any proof of an inh_ jurious influence (of tobacco) when .s, used in moderation. The lirst sympt. toms of giddiness, palpitation, indor lenee or any uneasiness while smokie ing should influence you to lay it id aside. at Of course, whether at home or on al holiday, if a man stubbornly persists is I in smoking after it shows signs of le disagreement, lie must expect to have to pay for it. If a man who ordinaras ily smokes, say, two ounces a week at doubles or trebles this quantity as a o- j holiday pleasure, then his smoking 0.! lays him open to serious risks.
