PORES. protection on Pac,fho Coast

The Pacific coast forests are not Sin
exhaustfble''-far from it-but. with
proper use and care. they should be equal
to the future needs of home and foreign
consumption. The forests now standing
are mature, and are not bettered by NOT
being cut. AT least 80 per cent. of the cut
over lands are of absolutely no value for
agricultural purposes. They are adapted
only to timber growing. Moreover, the
native species, If protected from fire, are,
as a rule. readily and quickly reproduced.
The lumber industry is legitimate and
necessary business, despite certain senti-
mentalists; moreover, if properly man
aged. its future has more in store for the
Pacific coast than all that her gold fields

Don't Worry About salaries.

"What salaries arepaid in different
business callings is a question often
asked by young men and one which
seems to enter their deliberations as
a qualifying factor as to whether
they shall enter certain trades or
professions" writes Edward Box in
the Ladies' Home Journal. 81
never could quite see the point ofthis
nor the reason for it. What are the
salaries that are paid to Others to
you or to me? They signify nothing.
If the highest salary paid to the fore
most man in a certain profession is
$4,000 year, what does it prove
or signify There is no obstacle TO
same ones else going into that same
profession and earning $50, 900. The
first step in going into business is to
find out not which special line is
most profitable, but which line you
are most interested in and are best
fitted for. Then drive ahead, and
the salary will take care of itself,
When a young man thinks too much
of bis salary, it is pretty good proof
that he is not of very superior make.
Ability commands income. But you
must start with ability, not with
salary"

A conservative estimate of Nebras-
ka's corn crop, which is now safe
from frost, is 300,O00,OOO bushels.
1t is hard for the mind to grasp what
these figures mean.
Counting 60 bushels of shelled corn
to the load, it would take 100000
teams to haul the crop to market, a
caravan that would reach around
the world. 1t will take an army OIL
$4,000 men over two months to
husk it if they husk 60 bushels day
each. If loaded into cars of 10000
capacity, it would take 600, 900 cars
to haul the crop, train over 1000
miles long.

Doctors and abe Use of Alcohol.

At the annual meeting of the New
York State Medical Association re-
Gently held in New York City, DR.. j.
NJ. harrington of Bnghamton spoke
upon the scientific advancement in
the profession, and among other re-
marks, said: Alcohol is re Their food
nor a stimulant, and recent physio-
logical experiments show that 1T in
terferes seriously with normal ctll-
growth. He attributes the great ac-
curacy of our gunners in the recent
naval engagements to the exclusion
of grog, which was in marked con-
trast with the custom in the Spanish
navy. Great Britain has given to
the world an important object lesson
in this direction, for as the result OF
certain observations made at the
command of Lord VOL ley, it has
been shown that the regiments that
we're not allowed grog had greater
staying power than those receiving
the usual rations. Additional en-
phasis has been given t. these results
by their practical enforcement in the
Soudan campaign, when the inDova-
ton had already been fully justified.
DR.. E. R Soluble of Brooklyn called
attention to the fact that pharma-
cists had discovered that it is entirely
practicable to do away with the use
of alcohol as a melstruum in ex-
hausting drugs. An efficient substi-
tute has been found in acetic acid,
usually in 10 per cent solution.
DR.. HI. D. Didana of Syracuse said
that although he used alcohol in his
practice formerly, he had not in the
past four years given the equivalent
of a teaspoonful of alcohol to all OF
his patients put together, and be
had been thoroughly satisfied with
this change. The late Sir Benjamin
W. Richardson reported, as the re-
suit of careful investigation, that
alcohol is a poison to the human
system from it's ingestion to its elm
