Medicinal Qualities Of Apples.

DIR. G. r. Searless, or Brooklyn, N. Y.
in an article published in the National
Stockman and Farmer, in discussing
the apple as medicine, says: at is
such common fruit that very few
persons are familiar with it's remark
ably eficacious medicinal properties.
Everybody ought to know that the
very best thing they can do is to eat
apples just before retiring at night.
The apple is an excellent brain food,
because it has more phosphoric acid
in easily digestible shape than any
vegetable known. 1t excites the acLiv-
ity of the liver, promotes sound and
healthy sleep, and thoroughly disin-
fects the mouth This is not all
The apple agglutinates the surplus
acids of the stomach, helps the kidney
secretions and prevents calculus
growths, while it obviates indigestion
and Is one of the best preventives
known for diseases of the throat
Everybody should be familiar with
such knowledge, and 1 hope you will
help disseminate it. In addition
next to the orange and lemon, it is the
best antidOte for the thirst and craving
OF the person addicted to the alcoho
or opium habit"

The Lumber Industry of One State.

These are times when the politician
wants Figures" anent the lumber in
dustry and every other industry, for
that matter, to draw his own deduc-
tions and lessons. The Pacific LUMBER
Trade Journal has been besieged the
past two months for statistics anent
the lumber industry of the state
of Washington, from Republicans,
Fusionists, Democrats and Populists,
and as it is matter of general infor-
nation, we give herewith brief out
line of the industry, gathered from
authentic sources, for the benefit Of
everyone concerned.
The lumber shipments in 1895 from
the state of Washington amounted to
5OO,O75,S33 feet, distributed as follows
To foreign ports, LAT ,14O,924 feet,
valued at $1618.550: to coastwise ports
246, 1929, 800 feet, valued at $2,222,769;
to Eastern rail points, lO6 ,OO5 900 feet.
valued at 81, 5000 shingles to East
ern points, 1857, 100000, valued at
$2,152,975. The total being $7,054,
344.
To produce this vast amount an
estimate of the number of men en-
ployed is made on the following basis
In the saw mill, one man to every
1000 feet produced in the woods the
same ratio; in the shingle mills, 1C
men to every $4,000 and 10 men in
the woods. The total gives $4,000
men in round numbers, which. if the
families are added, support $1,000
persons. To this should be added al
least 5000 men employed in moving
the lumber products, supplies, machin.
cry houses, etc. Indirectly every other
person in western Washington is de-
pendent on the lumber and shingle
industry.-Pacific Lumber Trade

tions, and as many as dozen full-
page pictures, while closer examlna-
ton develops that no less careful at
tention has been given to the selection
of subjects and good writer's.

Why, it is common honesty Of purpose
