Industry Has Become Quite a Matte*
•f Importance in Some Section*
of the South.
Rweet-blrch oil has been made Id
this country for many yeara and la
obtained from the wood and bark of
the black birch. The otMa a product
of steam distillation plants, where. In
addition to the twigs, bark and young
sprouts of the birch, the entire tree
Is sometimes used. More picturesque
are the methods employed by the
southern mountaineer. A rough camp
and crude distillery are erected neat
a supply of birch. According to per-
sons who have seen both kinds, the
“still” Is not unlike the type some-
times employed In the same locality
for making "blockade” whisky. The
camp Is anything which will protect
the workmen from the weather. The
bark is peeled from the tree and the
rough outer portion la scraped off. It
la then biigten to cook It. A lira is
started aopftfe resulting steam Is led
through a pipe and finally condensed.
The heavy oil gathers in a receptacle,
while the water runs off. Three o;
four men compose the usual crew.
One of these spends all of his time at
the still, while the others gather and
prepare the bark. About twenty-two
bushels of bark are used for every run
and It Is said that this amount yields
approximately four pounds of oil.
Three or four runs a week can be
made. The method has been In use
for many yeara, and most of the ac-
cessible birch In the valleys has been
cut. Each year the oil makers have to
go farther back In the mountains.
Very often the stills are located In
Isolated places which can be reached
only on foot, and all of the material
for the plants and camp are carried
In on the backs of the mouutalneera.

ACCORDING TO RANCH CODE
Cowhpy Did the Only Thing Ha Felt
.Thar# Waa to Do Under tho
Circumstances.
A atory certainly untrue, but one
beautifully plausible, was told by the
Abilene (Kan.) Reflector. It concerns
a man who—by definition, as the math-
ematicians say—had spent all his life
on a remote cattle ranch and was ut-
terly Inexperienced In any tenderer or
gentler relations than those which ex-
ist between men like himself and be-
tween them and their bovine charges.
This untutored yet thoroughly well-
intentioned person, according to the
tale as told, at last went to a border
town and there, as might have been
expected, he fell promptly und violent-
ly In love with the first woman with
whom he became acquainted, who hap-
pened to be the pretty waitress who
served him at the table. His wooing
was equally vigorous and successful.
In a few days the twain were married
and together they started back for the
ranch on horseback.
A week late? the cowboy returned
to the town alone and of deeply sor-
rowful mien. To the natural and im-
mediate Inquiries that were made as
to the whereabouts of his bride he re-
plied, with tears starting to his eyes
and running down his lean, bronzed
cheeks: “She broke her leg two days
out and I had to shoot her. And I tell
you, boys," he added, "I hated to do It
—she was such a good woman 1"
Plethora of Family.
In the absence of their mother, little
John's two older sisters were finding
It rather difficult to manage their mis-
chievous four-year-old brother. One
day when he had especially tried their
patience they reported the matter to
their father just as they were sitting
down to dinner. John's father promptly
scolded him, and when he had finished,
one sister, thinking that the culprit
had not been sufficiently im-
pressed, gave her Ideas on the sub-
ject, and when she had concluded the
other sister added her opinion. All
this time John had made no remarks,
but had calmly continued to drink his
milk, only gazing attentively across the
top of his mug at each speaker In turn.
When at last they were silent he set
down his mug and leaned back wearily
In his chair. “Oh, gee,” he observed
dejectedly, “I wlsht I didn't have so
much family.”
Worth Knowing.
Gumboils are most painful and re-
sult generally from a decayed root,
which causes the Inflammation and ab-
scess that resolves Itself into a gum-
boil. Foment the outside of the face
with a hot camomile and poppy bead
fomation and apply a small white
bread-and-mllk poultice to the gum
boll. Renew frequently. So soon as
the pain and swelling have disap-
peared It is best to have the tooth re-
moved. In cases where decayed and
ulcerated roots have been allowed
remain, disease of the jawbone has re-
sulted. Usually when the sufferer
takes cold there will be a renewal of
the inflammation, pain and annoyance.

THE FORD IDEA.
One of the most Interesting features
if the hearings before the now ex-
Inct federal industrial relations com-
mission wus the utter lack of Interest
m the part of captains of Industry
toward the Individual atid soclul wel-
are of their employees—magnate af-
er magnate, whose uames loom i>or-
entous In the realm of American fi-
nance and Industry, admitting having
ibsolutely no knowledge of or concern
n the private lives of their working
neu. They seemed to feel that they
lad done their duty by the man ami
iy society once they had signed his
lay check. Their Interest In their
uiployces apiieared to exist only dur
ng working hours. What they thought,
now they lived, where they lived,
•vhether they were getting on In the
.vorld or sinking to lower levels
hese questions held no interest for
he suave gentlemen who discuss
dans over mahogauy tables.
But Heury Ford of Detroit takes a
liffereut view of his obligations to
liis men and to society. Mr. Ford not
inly wants his workingmen to be
lionest, sotier und Industrious, both In
uni out of working hours, but he ln-
dsts upon them being so. He does not
are it snap of his finger about the
jiast morals of his employees—he be-
ieves In giving every man, a chance to
•ome back ami make good. Mr. Ford’s
nterest In the welfare of his employ-
es includes the families and dejien-
lents of his employees. His tonevo-
ent Influence dies not consist merely
,n allowing his men to share in the
.iroflts of his concern—it extends be
vend them, and falls like a grateful
mantle of protection about their
wives and children.
Dr. Samuel S. Marquis of the Ford
<taff, In a lecture before the National
Educational association, brings Into
'told relief some of the magnificent
hlngs Henry Ford Is accomplishing.
Every Ford employee must go to the
Ford school until he graduates. There
ire five compulsory courses—Industry
rod efficiency, thrift and economy, do-
mestic relations, community relations
and Industrial relations. Other sub-
jects are taught, but they are optional.
Table maimers, etiquette and a special
•ourse In the urt of making a new
itart in lue are included.
Mr. Ford Is of the opinion that It
just as lmixirtant to teach a man
how to spend money as It Is to teach
him how to earn money. To share In
'he Ford profits a man must demon-
strate that he spends money in a con-
structive way—in a way to build up
himself, his family and the commun-
ity In which he lives. The purchase
of homos Is encouraged and families
are moved liodlly, if necessary, into
lietter neighborhoods. Mr. Ford Insists
upon Ills employees providing gener
ously In proportion to his menus for
his wife and children. Unless the
nan does so liis profits are turned
over to Ills wife until he learns to ilo
the square thing.
A home in w jilcli there are roomers
Mr. Ford feels, can never to a real
home, and he does not jiermlt his em-
ployees to go into the rooming house
business. It is said that the wives
seldom object to this ruling. Mr. Ford
,kee|is In touch with the home lives
of his employees anil in case of a sep-
aration between husband and wife, he
Will endeavor to bring them together
again. Family quarrels, he has found
have an almost immediate effeet upon
the output of lathes and drill presses,
Mr. Ford’s Idea. In short. Is to make
his men prosperous, contented and
well In miml and body. Call It i«iter-
nalism. altruism, what you will, the
fact can not to gainsaid that Mr,
Ford's system Is taking the raw hu-
man material of America nnd Europe
and converting It Into valuable citi-
zens. No other man controlling a bus-
iness of the magnitude and prosperity
of Henry .Ford s hns ever attempted
to Introduce such revolutionary arid
humane methods. "The fact Is,” says
Dr. Marquis, “we are giving a great
many high school and college! men
the Ford school their first real cul-
tural training so far as will, thor-
oughness, accuracy, honesty and
sense of the dignity of labor are con-
cerned.” --,
If Mr. Ford has not found the key
to the solution of the eapltal and la
bur problem he Is certainly giving!
