FOREST. RESERVES.

The question of forest reserves that provoked such a warm discussion in con- gress' is an important one. The rapid destruction of the forests of the north west isr alarming President Harrison was authorized to withdraw from entry and set apart as forest reserves such tracts of the public domain as should be necessary for the preservation of the tim Der. He set apart 13,000,000 acres. mostly in California. Cleveland followed up this policy and sset apart 4.500,000 acres ir Oregon.s Hon. .Hoke Smith did some good work saaopg this. line. The members oi congress from the northwest are making vigorous effors to throw open these re- serves to settlers.
 This 0uestltn -Qf. forest reserves will soon be an important one in the south The forests of pipe. and other timber are bein{.rPapi6lSt- down.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.


 The Bladder was created for one pur- poseS namely. receptacle for the urine. andsAs such it is not lia be to any form of diseA SC except by one or two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way Is from care- less local treatment of other diseases s
 CHIEF CAUSE. c
 Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid- neys is the chHf cause of bladder troub- les and suffering so painful to many that life is made miserable. The womb like the bladder was created for one purpose, and if left alone 1t is not liable to become diseased, except in rare cases. When m position the womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or inconVen- fence manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by paying little attention to the condition of the urine (see pamph- le0. The mild and the extraordinary ef- feet of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy IS soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures.

One of the most prosperous and pro- gressive recent organizations in Birming- ham is the Elks. The membership has reached 125, and is composed of some of the very sbest and most enterprisng cit- izens or the city. But few societies, if any, exceed the Elks in their efforts to uphold society and extend the hand of charity for the relief of the unfortunates rot only in but out of their order. They are scrupulously careful in seeing that none. but those Who are worthy shall be enlightened into the mysteries Of the or der, and the instances are few where any but frst-class material obtain admit tancc,
 Aside feon the lodge workings the Elks as noted. are of an enterprislng and progressive class, and ever alert for the general development of the country in which they live and the betterment of the people in every walk of life

The large number of the

Too much cannot be said in
praise of the management of the
