MANY TREES GO TO WASTE Federal Official Points Out W)fn1 Might Be Gained by Proper Utili zation of Paper. The amount waste paper collect ed In all of < : .^rrt Britain was about ^,U(X) tons a week in 1014. By 1918 this l>". n increased to tl.ix *0 tons per or an hicrease of approximately fiOO per cent, said II. L. Baldensperger, chief of tfie waste reclamation service, ^United States department of com merce, In a speech to. the Federal I ori\ of Women's Clubs. "Waste material Is" the protector of our natural resources. Waste paper, utilized In the manufacture of other paper material, serves as a substitute for wood pulp. It requires eight trees of mature growth to produce a ton of paper pulp. Kvery ton of waste paper which can be substituted wlU savrt eight trees for other uses. In our urban centers we send annually to the dump Approximately 18 tons of usable Waste material for every 1,000 inhabi tants, and 20 per cent of this tonnage is made up of waste paper. "Based upon the approximation of the present population of our country, we are sending aunuully to the dump at least 150,000 tons of waste paper, or twice as much paper as was collected In all of Great Britain In 1018. This amount represents the substituted pefwer for at least 1.200,000 trees of mature growth." NEVER-FAILING DEATH TESJ Discovery of French Physician That Is Acknowledged to Be of Highest Importance.
