The pulp and paper industry has expanded very rapidly in Canada during the past ten years; and it ap- pears that Canada is destined to be- come perhaps the leading country in the world in the manufacture of pulp and paper products from wood. This is largely because of our extensive natural resources of waterpowers and suitable tree species. It is important to point out the opportunities and responsibilities for Canadian engin- eers in this technical industry. The consumption of raper increases so rapidly from year to year in the more highly developed countries that there is no indication of slackening de- . | welopment, at least for some years to come. Canada now has a total of about 90 'mills, many of which large and of modern deesign. The export figures for the calendar year 1916 show that pulpwood, wood pulp and paper have increased to nearly half of the total export value (ap- proximately $100,000,000) of for- .| est products with the exception of the small proportion of specially manu- large | factured articles. : The softwoods are the most im- portant species for papermaking, spruce and balsam fir acounting for the bulk of the woods used, with hem- lock, jack pine, tamrack and other conifers coming into more sive use.

Saw-mill waste amounts to about 40 per cent. of the original tree.- The finished lumber, on the average, rep- resents only from 30 to 35 per cent. of the tree. New developments in the utilization of wood waste are be- ing made continually, but it is false economy, to handle waste unless the by-products industries can be carried on at a profit. Effective utilization calls for a variety of chemical and mechanical processes which must be adapted to the form, species and quantity of wood waste available at any point. Slabs, edgings and trim- mings represent 15 to 17 per cent. of the tree. Amang the more common uses are fuel, laths, box shooks, small slack cooperage, small wooden articles, kraft and sulphite pulp, excelsior, wood flour, "wood wool and producer gas. Sawdust accounts for another 11 per cent., and is used to some ex- tent for fuel, producer gas, briquettes, polishing metals, insulating, packing, bedding -in stables, floor sweeping compounds, ~ composition flooring blocks linoleum, improving clay soils, smoking meat and fish, blasting powd- ers, wood flour, plastics, porous bricks, mixing with mortar and concrete, dis- tillation, ethyl alcohol, oxalic acid and carborundum. Bark amounts to about 10 per cent. of the tree. It is usually 'used for.fuel, although hemlock and "~ ; oak barks are important in the tann- ing industry.

GY Qe Qe ei wee Qe Qe QO Let folks step on your feet here- after; wear shoes a size smaller if you like, for corns will never again send electric sparks of pain through you, according fo this Cincinnati authority. He says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon a tender, aching corn, instantly re- leves soreness, and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts right out. This drug dries at once and simply shrivels up the corn or callus without even irritating the surrounding tissue. A small bottle of freezone obtained at any drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's foot. If your druggist hasn't stocked this new. drug yet, tell- him to get a small bottle of freezonq for you from his wholesale driig house. in---- a -- CURING TUBERCULOSIS.
