AMERICAN LUMBER SUPPLY.
Tie P,aStipg of Forests Likely to BE an
Importnnt Industry.

Tie Plat ting of Forests Likely to BE an
Important Industry.
Looking not very far into the future,
it seems that the planting of American
forests will become productive indus
try. Preservation of old forests, with
their masses of dry underbrush and fire
inviting collections Of dry leaves, may
be advisable for some reasons. These
immense masses of firewood undoubted-
ly tend to collect snow, which, by its
gradual melting, furnishes supply to
the water reservoirs beneath the surface
of the ground. Snow thaws less quickly
under the shade of trees than in the
bright sunlight. Less water, therefore,
runs to supply floods aud freshets than
when the snow is made to pass away
gradually. But this question does not
affect the solid timber interests.
In old forests, where there is strug.
gle for life among the trees by reason
Of their growing SO thickly together,
the result is the necessity of waiting
many years before the trees will reach
size to make them desirable for tim
ber purposes. Where trees have room to
grow and are properly cared for most
kinds of American trees will furnish
useful timber in 20 or 80 years, and for
many other purposes they can be en-
ployed even younger. 1t takes we'll on
to a century for the struggling trees in
dense wood to have any marketable
value.
While good timber is becoming grad
ually scarcer on account of our annual
forest fires, rising from the conditions
already stated, the demand is increasing,
and. what is more remarkable, Europe
is already calling on America for sup
ply Of lumber. American oak especially
is in great demand i'll the old world,
while our black walnut is closely fol-
lowing in it's wake Our lighter woods
also-such as the tulip tree and poplar
are coming into great demand there
for packing boxes and cases where light
weight is u great object. Those who are
interested in forestry i'll our country
should take up the matter of encourage
ment of forest planting. 1t will soon be
u greater question than forest preserva-

we hope Mr.. Theodore F. Seward will
be eminently successful in his effort to
get an immense constituency for his
"Don't Worry" organization. Mr.. Sew
ard thought he discovered years ago
that the American people were slaves
to the worry habit 1t made them mel
ancholy, dyspeptic and sometimes wick
ed, not to speak of blasting their chances
for business success. Then Mr.. Seward,
philanthropist that he was and is, be.
gan founding "Don't Worry" clubs
throughout the Union. He also wrote a
book called "Don't Worry; the scien-
tific Law Of Happiness. Its ruling
thought is that when you have done the
best you know how to do conscientious
ly, doing always as you would be done
by, just stop and leave results to work
themselves out. They will always come
right.
Anybody can form a "Don't Worry"
club There are no dues; there is no
government. A neighborhood, family,
can start a society. One person, in fact,
can establish club all by himself and
fill the Offices. "If worry can be con-
quered, nearly all the passions that de.
stroy our happiness will disappear, +"
says Mr.. Seward. Here are some of the
rules of the Don't Worries:
Cultivate spirit Of gratitude for daily mer.
cies.
Realize worrying as an enemy which destroys
your happiness
Realize that it can be cured by persistent eff.
fort.
Attack it definitely as something to be over.

Realize that it never has done and never can

LIQUOR STATISTICS.

The statistics of drunkenness in the
Hawaiian Islands do not bear 3ur the
reasoning which some people are apt
to give them.
For the year ending 1891, the total
convictions were 2,63s. of which ',ljj
were IIawaiians. For the next rier-
NAL period, viz: 1929, the total con-
victions for this offence were 1...5l. of
which 757 were Hawaiians. In ,he
period 1S94-9j there were 1850 con-
victions. of whom 947 were Hawaiians.
During the period of 1S96-07 there
were 1.S62 persons convicted. of
whom 1909 We're Hawaiians.
The statistics of the Chief Justices
report do not state what was the rea-
son for the sudden drop from 2.63S
in 1901 to 1857 in 1923. But it is
evident that though there has been an
increase since 1929. there was more
drunkenness in 1901 than there was
in 1867. II must be remembered
that in 1897 the law which practically
prohibited the importation of sake
came into force, and yet there was an
increase of drunkenness. not only all
round, but among the Hawaiians.
On the other hand during 1s9O-91.
when there was so much drunkenness
both among the total population and
among the natives in particular. the
customs statistics do not show that
any sake was withdrawn for consump-
ton at all. Samshoo appears. but not
sake.
From this it would appear that
careful investigation of statistics will
not uphold the attacks upon sake 1t
is case of reasoning from the par
ticular or few isolated cases. to the
general. 1t is always unwise to do
this. because injustice is frequently
the result of such reasoning and it
seems as if injustice has been done in
this case.

People who are the victims Of sensitive teeth that crumble and acquire caVaties readily may do much toward checking thls dental decay by the use of a simple rem edy. A bottle of milk of magnesia should be kept on the washstand, and eacn night, after brushing the teeth, just before retir- ing, some of 1t should be held in the mouth for minute, that it may reach esicn side or every tooth. By this process coating or the ,magnesia is formed over the sensitive enamel, which is thus protected rom the action of the acids which form in the mouth durinrg sleep. The magnesia will remain on the teeth for three or four hours.
