Tung Tree Now "American" Its Propagation in This Country Deprives China of a Monopoly Which That Country Has Long Held; Oil's Valuable Properties. Before many years have passed American manufacturers may be In dependent of the monopoly which China has long held In tke tung oil Industry. About 80.000 acres of tung trees now are thriving In our south ern states. Some experts aver that It would take only slightly more tluin three times as many acres of pro ducing trees to make America Inde pendent of the Oriental product. ?Tung oil, sometimes called Chinese wood oil. Is extracted from the seeds of the tung tree of central and west ern China. It Is almost unknown in Its natural state to the average lay man. but, being a good mixer. If hides In many products with which he frequently comes In contnct," says a bulletin from the Washington head qnarters of the National Geographic society. "Long before western shipping nav igated the Yangtze river. Chinese river men waterproofed their boat timbers regularly by saturating them with tung oil. They also burned the oil In lamps, accumulated tung oil soot to make India ink, and with carbon from burned seed pulp 'nnd other materials made a calking com pound. "Although turi*$c oil-soaked Junks frequently sideswiffed western craft In Oriental hnrbors nnd rivers, It was not until about 1800 the West erners awoke to the fact that tung oil had some amazing qualities Chemical laboratories discovered that the oil, added to varnish, makes the varnish shed water like a duck's bnck ; thus the origin of the demon strator in the hardware store win dow who awes shoppers when lie pours hot water on a table top with out marring the polish. "From t lxo Chinese success In wa terproofing silk with tung oil. west erners learned that other fabrics jcould he rendered waterproof In much the same manner. Now tung oil Is widely used by manufacturers of raincoats, bath curtains and oil cloth. Wall board manufacturers have dis covered that the oil makes a good binder; while the manufacturers of linoleum, steam pipe gaskets, wire Insulation, and automobile enamels, also have become customers of Chinese tung oil producers. "The United States normally im ports about u mio pounds, or more than $10,000,000 worth of tung oil annually. China's Internal un rest has been one of the leading fac tors In the development of American tung tree plantations. When the value ot the oil was discovered, the demand of the American manufac turer grew rapidly. Normally Me could obtain sufficient tung oil, but brigands often delayed or destroyed shipments, or producers were desert ed by their workers who now and then felt the urge to fight, thus diminishing the supply. "The first tung seeds from China were planted In the United States by the Department^ of Agriculture In 1905 at Chlco, Calif. A year later, the resulting seedlings were sent to experimental stations through the southern and Pacific coast regions They thrived In portions of Florida, California, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, - where the frost Is not sufficiently severe to nip the tp>os' sensitive blossoms. "Tung trees grow to about 25 feet In height. With their white to pink ish blossoms in the spring they re semble apple trees. The tung fruit Is about the size of a small apple. Its five seeds are no larger than robins' eggs. In China the trees grow wild, but In this country grow ers have operated their plantations with the modern system of an Amer ican orchard 1st When the tung fruit Cat Sav?d Orphan With the tearing down of n house at 22 Vasterland street, Stockholm, Sweden, which bore over Its entrance door the edlgy of a cnt, Ims been recalled the story of how the tabby found the relatives of an orphan girl. While returhing from llaytl to Stock holm with his wife and three-year old daughter, the captain of a Swedish sailing vessel died. Soon afterward his wife succumbed. The* nurse, who had been engaged during tho voyage, did not know whether the daughter had any relatives, nor how to trnee friends. The ship cat, which wns from Stockholm, started as m-i >n as the boat landed, to guide the nurse up one street and down another until she reached 22 Vasterland street. There It stopped, and in the ho?:se was found the child's grandmother. Many old people In Stockholm still remember the cat and Its rearch. ripens in the fall, It drops to tliu ground. In Chine, the hulls are stripped from the seeds by hand; In this country hulling Is done by ma chinery. Gniuesvllle, Fla.. has a tung oil pressing plant. "America's new tung oil planta j Hons are near railroads and modern j highways ? quite dllTerent from the forests where tung trees thrive In China, for there are neither roads nor railroads. To reach the Chinese trees one must penetrate tiie remote mountain valleys of Hunan and Szechwan provinces. "The oil Is carried on human backs to the nearest river shipping point In light bamboo baskets lined with 16 thicknesses ot waterproofed paper. Iiefore It reaches the sea. most tung oil shoots the rapids of the Yangtze gorges. It is not uncommon for Junks containing the oil to pile on the rooks, thus releasing an $3,000 cargo Into the swirling stream." Your local dealer carries Ferry's Pure Bred Vegetable Seeds.

EARLY DAYS OF AUTO ticw York state's farmers, from f lie first, were active In fighting auto mobile speeders. In December, 1908, the Oneida Pomona grange adopted a resolution urging enforcement of the 20-mlle speed law and asking that motorists be required to slow down to four miles an hour when passing teams. The resolution said speeders were ruining the roads and likewise endangering life and prop erty. Why Doctors Favor a liquid Laxative A doctor will tell you that the care less use of strong laxatives may do more harm than good. Harsh laxatives often drain the aystem, weaken the bowel muscles, and even affect the liver and kidneys. Fortunately, the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form . The dose of a liquid laxative can bo measured. The action can thus bo regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you needn't take a "double dose" a day or two later. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin gently helps the average person's bowels back to regularity. Why not try it? Some pill or tablet may be more con venient to carry. But there is littlo "convenience" in any catharticwliich Is taken so frequently, you must carry it with you, wherever you gol Its very taste tells you Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is wholesome. A delightful taste, and dclightfulaction. Safe for expectant mothers, and children. All druggists, ready for use, in big bottles. Member N. R. A.
