Norfolk Doctor Creates a Stir.
Dr. Rlcharn 12. Tanner of Norfoll
spending the winter In California , ha
created ' omcthtng of n stir In Los Ai
goles by declaring that ho has dh
covered ollvo pits make boautlfn
beads and that thousands of dollar
nro bolng wasted by failure to use
Mioin for this purpose. Publishing a
tliroo-colunin plt-Ufio of Dr. Tanner ,
the Liw Aiisolca tixprt'Hs Mays :
Thousands of dollars are being
thrown awny every year by ollvo fao-
irlo In Mitithorn California by the
tlluro to utilize commercially Un
live pits , u cording to Dr. Richard .1.
minor , a physician of Norfolk , Neb. ,
ho Is passing the winter In Los
Uigoles. The ollvo Is capable of pro-
iidng moro by using the pits for
oad material than the fruit can pro
mo in oil , according to this Ingonlus
lobritHkmi , who herewith freely gives
> Iho public what ho bollovos Is a
11 ro loclpo for HOinoone to atmms a
irnino.
"I was struck by the possibilities of
10 olive for making beads soon after
came Ki California , three months
BO , " said Dr. Tanner , who Is not the
iimoiiH faster , by the way.
"I cut up a few ollvo pits , and
nuiid thai they are natural heads. All
hat Is necessary Is to cut off the
mis , and then string thorn , and they
lake a bead that Is Just as pretty In
heir way , i-nd capable of a vastly
roator number of uses than the ouca-
ylpus beads , which are now such a
ago for portieres nail decorative pur-
K1SO.
" .lust , listen to the fact that I galh-
rod carefully after several months'
nvostlgallon. It takes five bushels
if olives to make one gallon of oil.
'hey grind up olives , pits and every-
hlng.
"Roughly uponklng , there are 21,000
illvos In flvo bushels of the class of
mil that la used for oil. Therefore
bore would bo 21.000 beads If the
mil was pitted and the stones wore
iiado into beads.
'Well ' , I think that 10 cents a him-
Irod would bo a fair price for these
icads , so that five bushels of olives
vould produce almost as much oil
ind $21 win th of beads If my plan
voro followed. There would be only
i slight oxtia expense In producing
he oil , necessitated by Ihe pilling of
ho fruit.
" 1 found that there would bo an im-
nonso sale for beads such as the
illvo. pits make , by consulting the
ndlan trading ajid department stores
if Los Angelos.
The pits will take a high coloring ,
s annlllno dyes are used. They could
10 stained any color desired. The
hlng Is so simple , yet presents such
wonderful possibilities that I am
urnr/ed thai Californians have not
ised thorn for this purpose before. "
Dr. Tanner is staying at First and
'Icaudty ' avenue.
