Among scores of suggestive pages I note .the following: "A matter of much contemporary - in quiry and anxiety relates to the Increas ing scarcity of wood particularly the hard voods. Many men are today making and selling composition woods out .of wood waste for the most part sawdust. This sawdust Is mixed with a binding material, and as such Is finding Us way Into the market as flooring compositions. "Btlll other men manufacture their com position wood out of waste Wood pulp from the paper factories. Both types of manufacture have the regular tribulations of an unperfected process: "Composition wood has an unquestion able future, but Its success depends upon the discovery and utilisation of a suitable binding material; and this, I am sure, has been found ' either in bakelite .(that remarkably strong and resistive material discovered by Backeland) or redmanlte, a different substance, which Is being de veloped In our laboratories at the Univer sity of Kansas. - j .

'- t Many Sharp-Noised Men Key to the Situation-Bee Advertising. By MARGARET HUBBARD AYER. Beware of the man or woman with sharp, thin nose. , - If you are about to marry ueR a per son delay, linger and wait; if you have married him or her, ' however, there is still hope. The shape of the nose can be changed; not with a surgeon's knife, but Just by the proper use pf the nostrils. Mrs. Marie Leavitt Clerk of the court of domestic relations in Chicago, was the first to aalt general attention to the mean n ess of the man with the sharp, thin nose, and to warn girls against bim. Prof. Charles Munter is the one who holds out hope for the person whose nasal organ doesn't come up to the mark, nt the same time explaining why you should beware of (he1 man whose nose is too long, too sharp and too thin. Prof. Munter's mission in life Is to make people breathe properly, and event ually, almost .every one drifts into his spacious and ornamental .office, for he hss various side lines which Interest many different kinds of people. It wa this same Prof. -Munter who woke the blind man from his hypnotic sleep to Rhow him that he really could see, and who recently has astonished the musical world, and the medical faculty especially, by hypnotising a beautiful young girl ordinarily entirely without 'a sipgtng voice, and transforming her into a modern "Trilby" who can . sing both high and low at command. "Women should use the nose as a kind of barometer of character when selecting their husbands," Professor Munter told me. "And for this reason: The nos9 indicates accurately the physi cal and mental functions ef the body; In fact It . controls these functions. It Is the medium through which the In visible power of oxygen fs transmitted to the internal organs, and It . is this oxygen which goes to make up and rebuild the Invisible life that Is beyond the power of the individuals themselves. "The general opinion, both of the pub lic and the medical practitioner, is that the bony protrusion extending beyond the face regulates the shape of the nose, and consequently, that we are not really re sponsible for the shape pf our noses. But this Is not true. Kacn person maues his own nose- creating It forming if and rechanging It from time to time, according to the amount of air draw through the nos trils, through the deep breathing of the lungs. , The nose you . want to avoid Is the nose wnicn is pmcnea at the nostrils and bulges a little at the point show ing that some of the air is forced into the tip of the nose instead of back and up into it . . ... , 'The nose can be compared to the rudder of a vast ocean steamer, with its great wealth, wonderful machinery, Iced crew. "All this wonderful ship is subject to the invisible working of the simple rud der which gives the ship the direction in which it must go. 'The hose Is the rudder of the human ship. "The amount of air that rushes In through the nostrils shapes and forms the character as well as the body of the man and It also shapes the nose. "Every Individual Is what he breathes, and his capacity lor doing good or wrong depends upon the regularity of bis breatb-ltK. iff v. k Nt ! ' , ' I 1 ' ' -W & V .

Miss Graham had a sharp-pointed nose until Prof. Munter : took her In hnnd and taught her how to breathe properly, Today her nostrils are well arched and her general vitality is much improved., . y "If one nostril Is lax, only half the section of the brain is supplied with air, and this makes the Individual - er ratic, spasmodic and miserable within himself. "The small amount of oxygen which he inhales produces Improper circulation of the blopd, . and such a person sees things in a distorted way, both his men tal and physical vision showing imme diate signs of the stoppage of the nasal passage, or the badly developed nose, "The narrow, thin nose, like the rudder held straight, must Always go in one direction. A person with a nose like this follows, a narrow lane of human en deavor, and his pessimistic view of things narrows life down to a very fine point. "He is straid. w deviate from the beaten path himself, and he prevents others from growing end enlarging,, be cause he can only see the narrow, small view of all existing things. "The person with the narrow, thin nostrils is governed by fear. Through this laek of physical deep breathing and consequent lack of mental exertion his would one be necessarily doomed to pov erty and failure?" I asked Prof- Munter. . "No, indeed,"- asserted tbe master of deep breathing eult "Look at this girl." He pulled out a picture of Miss Marion Graham, taken some time ago, before she had begun the study of deeep breathings- Her face was thin and emaciated; her nose rather long and very narrow. To day I have seen her, and she is a beauti ful girl, with a' round, plump face and welt arched nostrils, and living expon ent of what deep breathing can do to change the face as well at the nose aid give health snd vitality to the body. "This .young lady," said Prof. Munter, "Is the. best proof of the-wenderful power whtah lies in deep breathing, for she Is the Jiving Trilby, Bhe was a frail, deli cate little girl,-with a Sharp-pointed nose Now she has not only overcome this ten dency to a delicate constitution, but her noftrllfl have widened, and there Is , a plentiful supply of air being pumped into the lungs every minute. 'Mies Graham's breathing orgsns are so thoroughly developed through my con tinual .teaching, and her mentality has reached such a standard of efficiency, him a valuable asset In the matrimonial that by looking across the' room and per-, mlttlng the power of a ray of light to strlkt both hw, eyes I was sble tr get Into such mental communication with the student as to make her sing the most dif ficult operatic selection, though1 she knows nothing of music whatever." " . Most girls would be willing to practice deep breathing If they could successfully accomplish the feats that Miss Graham has performed. But the same practise, according to prof. Munter,' will cure the thin-nosed man of his dlefect and make market. .., pletlon of the cork trees, an artificial" . cork is desired, " "The art of paper mailing, into which. ! 60 per cent of our pine and hemioqW-, passes, is, according to certain inquiries! by no means in a satisfactory condition'.'; f Owing to tariff conditions, actual and po' ! tentlal, and for other reasons, it is lecesu nmy mvr w (nana paper wii.ii quail virBk different from those that obtained in tKij; past Thus a paper is now desired hail ing a higher finish on a lighter weight: and for a less cost.
