YOUR BLOOD MADE NEW.

Your heart beats about sixty thousand times a day. Every drop of blood in your veins visits every part of your body about five hundred times each twenty four hours. Is 1t any wonder that many troubles arise when the blood is not right?
 Is 1t hard to understand why health quickly returns when you take a remedy like Dr. Harters Iron Tonic. a remedy that purifies and enriches the blood5 ] It does far more than that, because it is lthe perfect example of everything that "tonic'' stands for. But it would be a wonderful remedy if its power to make red. rich blood was its only property. It Is far better than so-called blood prifiers ls far better than so-called blood purifiers blood.
 It Is not one of the crude forms of Iron that inJures the teeth and stomach, but c delicate. harmless form that Is almost Instantly passed from the stomach to the. blood.

FORESTRY.
One of the Great Questions of the
 Day-Facing a Problem.

OaY-6 dC1uk u EIOD1ens
 The destruction of the forests of Amer lea has become a question for serious alarm and the organization of the Bureau of Forestry is hailed by the leading jour nals of the country as most proper one. The farmers have also become persistent in their efforts for the retaining of the magnificent timber belts. In fact, public sentiment in behalf of systematic forestry advance it have been taken by several States as we'll as by Congress. The for estry appropriation allowed by Congress for the new fiscal year Is $1S5, 40. against $2S, 1920 three years ago. During the same time the personnel has been increased from eleven in the forestry division to 125 in the Forestry Bureau. In this work the Departments of the Interior and Agricul- ture are cordially cooperating.
 This bureau has been doing good work since it's establishment. In his last an- nual report Secretary Hitchcock gave the number of forest reservations created by presidential proclamations as thiry- eight, embracing an area Of 46,772,125 acres. Since then the Secretary has se- cured another reserve of 58,000 acres in the heart of the Wichita Mountains in Oklahoma.

He differs from the reckless lumberman by of the harvest It has been proposed to make an Appalachian forest reservation at the head waters or certain rivers that flow through Virginia, the CaroHnas, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, and a report on the subject says:
 "One problem Is whether by the de- strucion of this magnificent forest area, the streams now furnishing water power to vast industries having hundreds of un- developed powers and feeding many of our great rivers shall be shrunken to in- significance or dried up.''
 The question was thoroughly discussed by the Mississippi Congress, which

LEFT AND RIGHT HANDEDNEss
Explained by the Anatomical Reason for the Same Quality in the Eyes.

 1t Is a well known fact that the strong. CT activity of the nerves of the right half of the body (for not only the hand IS concerned) must be ascribed to pre- ponderance of the left side or the nraln, whose finer development, especially as the seat of the center of speech, is a matter of common knowledge ms
 In a paper by Dr. Luddeckens Tn The kunst, valuable information regarding causes of the unequal working or the two hemispheres of the brain is furnish ed. A sketch touching on the history of evolution leads from the original sym metry of the organism to subsequent asymmetrical arrangement or the heart and the large blood vessels. rom wnion ,c,n halves of the head are not placed on an equal footing as regards the distrlputlon of the blood, and consequently or the trary, there must be. under normal con ditions, a stronger pressure on the ar teries of the left side of the head.
 experiences of anatomists and patholo- gists and a series of interesting obserVa- tons. Of especial interest Is the enect or the higher blood pressure upon the ieft eye. Dr. Luddeckens found in the lat ter, as compared with the right one, narrower pupil in consequence Of more filIed-up condition of the vessels of the iris, and upon closer examination snort CT construction of the eyeball This fur nishes reason for the fact that In a large number of persons the left eye Is the better enc. Thus the finer develop ment of the left half of the brain is ex. plained very simply by the fact that 1t Is better supplied with blood, and the question why 1t Is the seat of the center of speech and why most people are right. handed is solved in the most natural manner.
 It Is striking how true a reflection of the conditions described Is afforded by tine examination of left-handed persons. In many cases redder color was notice able on the right side of the face; the right eye was built shorter, it's pupil par- rower; in short, everything points to a better blood supply on the right side oi the brain. which, in consequence, i'm parts to the left side of one, a condi' tion styled left-handedness. In close con- nection thereto is the habit of most left handed persons to sleep on the left side in the unconscious endeavor to relieve the right half of their brain, which is more charged with blood during the day For right-handed persons the position or the right side Is the normal one for the same reason.

The most expen- slve Parliament in Europe is that of France, which costs $1, 1,5OO.000 year. The French people are very well represented.

 Russia has no Parliament in the Amer ican or French sense, so that this item Is entirely saved The Legislators in the Italian Parliament receive no salaries. rhe cost of the Italian Parliament last year, nevertheless, was $420,0o0.

Free School Books.
Chicago Chronicle.

SutCdBO
 In voting the sum of $4OOOO with which to provide free school books for pupils in the four lower grades of the public schools the Chicago Board of Education has drifted easily with the socialistic cur rent which has caused similar action in several other American cities.
 The argument that the public school system Itself is socialistic and that the free use of books is but a logical step In the same direction, coupled with the fact that it Is always easier for public officials to join in an organized raid on the public treasury than 1t Is to resist such enter prises. accounts for the action which has been taken.
 Of course, if free books are to be sup piled to the pupils in the lower grades. 1t will require but one more step to provide them for the pupils in the higher grades, and. that having been accomplished. the way will be clear for the introduction of a like boon in the various high schools. By exactly the same processes of reason ing. public expenditure. may then be car ried Into new fields and be justified with out much difficulty. Already It Is propos- ed to provide scholars with free trans portation to and from school, and 1t will not be long before 1t will be found highly necessary to feed and clothe them at public expense

Nebraska Literary Genius.

The east has long arrogated to itself
all the literary ability Of the country,
and for years western writer's could not
secure recognition. But western writer's
kept up the struggle and today the best
stories come from that section of the
country known a. 1.-THE west" Indeed,
the little clique Of eastern writer's
fringed along the shores Of the Atlantic
find it more difficult each year to stem
the rising literary tide setting in from
the west. To the list Of rising authors
hailing from the west, Nebraska has
added more than one. The last number
of the Saturday Evening Post contains
a story full Of heart interest by young
woman whose earliest literary struggles
were in Nebraska and whose first suc-
cesses were won while q resident of the
prairie state. Villa Sibert Gather is q
growing light in the literary armament,
and her story, Jack Boy" in the cur.
rent Saturday Evening Post proves her
ability.
Miss Gathers first work was done in
Lincoln. where for some time she was
attached to the staff Ct the Lincoln
Journal. She has contributed 70 sew
sral of the leading periodicals., and each
succeeding month has found her work
stronger and better. The west has
forced itself upon the attention OF the
literary world. A few years ago it was
sneeringly asked, "Who reads an Ameri-

America for the best literary work, and
the west is contributing its share
