EFFECT OF PULP MILLS.
Since Advent OF Sulphlte Mills Price a
Spruce Timber Land Has Doubled.

Since the paper makers began to
build big sulphitc pulp mills in the
Maine woods the price Of spruce tim
her lands has doubled. Next to spruce
the timber in greatest demand is clean
md thrifty white birch, which is sawed
into bars and sent by the ship load To
Scotland. where 1t is made into spools.
Nearly all the thread fac tories in the
United States. and more than half
those in Great Britain obtain their
spool stock from Maine.
According to Albert y. Burleigh
Names birch trees are due to the
spitcful conduct of two employees OF the
Maine land office. Some French Ca
nadians had squatted on State land
near the Penobscot river and deiied
efforts 10 evict them Finally in Sep
TENDER. 1925. two special constables
were sent down from Augusta with in
structions to make Il clean job of cvlct-
ing them.
Having turned the families out they
set fire 10 the houses and haystacks.
Twelve hours later the French village
was a smoking mass OF ashes and the
biggest forest fire ever seen in Maine
was sweeping north, burning off ~ "rc
than 80 townships Of ola growth i .ie.
ma doing more than SO 900 goo dan @h
Id the States lands.
Squar7 miles Of valuable hacklLH
tack timber was also burned over, the
fire eating 10 feet into black peat boys
that had been accumulaung for cen
turtles.
1t is tradition that after crossing
Aroostook county the fire leaped the
81. John river and swept over New
Brunswick terminating in the destruc-
ton of MiramiCh, where 100 persons
persisted. The survivors were forced
to flee into the Gulf of ST. Lawrence.
There they stood neck deep in the
water for TWO days and a night, while
deer. caribou. moose, bears and wolves
swan around them, seeming 30 seek
protection from their ancient enemies.
After the fire had burned Itself out
and the land had absorbed the alNali
of the ashes, about 5000. 900 acres came
IN to wild cherry and white birch sap
lings. For 10 years or more the two
species struggled for control Of the
territory
Then the black knot, which had
been imported from Europe, killed nff
til, cherry trees. giving the birches the
right Of way.
About 100000 900 board feet Of spool
bars are shipped out Of Maine every
year ana the supply is still Sood.-NcW

TIE CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS
Has Been Discovered.
How II Will Be Prevented in the Future.

Until within the past few months the
cause of appendicitis has been at
tributed to the swallowing of grapes,
tomato, cherry and other fruit seeds
which were supposed to lodge in the
appendix and set up an Inflammation.
but after operating upon thousands of
cases and finding no sign of any irr
tating substance. the medical profess
sion began to look further They were
not long in discovering that Intestinal
Indigestion, only. was the true cause;
but here again they were brought face
to face with a germ disease for which
they had no cure. Like the germs Of
disease which cause Catarrh. Bron-
chitis and Consumption. this bacilli
could not be reached except by one
germicide strong enough to kill them
without injury to the patient. The
question then arose. could this germi-
eide be given through the stomach and
have the same effect as it did in dis
ease Of the air passages. Experiments
were made during the past summer.
and it was proven that. combined With
other remedies for dyspepsia, llyomcl
acted like a charm and was equally as
eflicaciouS in destroying these germs as
those of Catarrh. Bronchitis and Con-
sumption. This discovery resulted in
the placing of a Hyomci Dyspepsia
cure on the market, and now for the
first time in the history of the medicine
a cure treating each kind of dyspepsia
separately is given to the public. In
testinal Indigestion, the most danger
Gus of all, can now be successfully
treated and the national disease. dys-
pcpSia. which has increased yearly in
spite of all so-callcd cures, can now be
completely cradicatcd and appendicitis
prevented.
HYOMEI DYSPEPSIA CURE
is tho only one ever guaranteed To cure
1t is unlike any other. as 1t treats each
phrase Of the disease separately. and
contains the only germicide known
which will destroy the bacilli Of this
disease.

The Tim. For Thinking.

One of those terrible statisticians, who
afflict US with diagrams showing how
near we should be to HEAVIER by climbing
all the steeples if these were blended in a
single shaft, has been timing the various
occupations of our mortal span. Out of
seventy years, you sleep more than
twenty-four, but you reflect only one
wear and five and one-half months, and
you gossip the same period. This makes
ones yearly allowance for thinking about
seven days, and considering all the dis
fractions of life, that is rather handsome.

grasp the fact hat they literally reflect
16S hours in 365 days, will give them
selves airs of philosophers. One youth,

ment, and then cried:-"By Jove! I'm q
