be imminent danger Of destruction,
if one may Judge from arecently pub
lished official report on Russian for
ests. According to this authoritative
statement, The forests in this coun-
Try now cover a gross area of 1873, 00O,-
900 hectares. Among European coun-
tries, Sweden comes next with 49,
100000 hectares Of forest. In Russia
the forests cover SO per cent. Of the
whole imperial area. The Swedish
forests occupy A per cent. of the to-
tai area and the Austrc-Hungarian 30
per cent. of the territory of the dual
monarchy. Reckoned by the popula-
ton there are two hectares Of forest
to each inhabitant in Russia, 1856 in
Sweden, 1921 in Norway and 0.2S per
head in Germany.
The forests have, Of course, great
er importance for the Russians than
for the people of west European coun-
tries, owing to the fact that stone
built dwellings are not yet very prev
alent in the country Villages and
small townships are still almost en-
tirely constructed Of timber, and the
forests furnish the main sources Of
fuel supply. tits the private owners

II is Correct to Say "dood Health

If "health" means bodily sound
ness, how is it possible to speak
of "good health?
10 its primary sense "health
means bodily soundness, but it also
means, by extension, the general
condition of the body as compared
with some condition taken as &

"health" is properly qualified as

Ninety.Fight Per Cent.

There is a fascination about big
profits to a business man. But the
conservative and cautious trader
prefers to have the lesser per cent
of interest and the larger per cent,
of safety IN his investment. There
is no business man who would not
consider it a sound proposition to
invest in an enterprise in which alb
solute loss was impossible and
which offered nlnety-eight chances
in a hundred of aerich profit. The
statistics of cures effected by DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
show that ninety-eight per cent,
of cases of "weak lugs' can be alb
solutely cured. Almost if not all
forms of physical weakness may be
traced to starvation. Starvation
sars the strength. The body is
Just as much starved when the
stomach cannot extract nutrition
from the food it receives as when
there is no food. Weak lungs,

What Mud Has Done For,eThis
Country.

Mud, that at first glance seems
so unsightly, is in truth the annual
blessing of the lowlands to which it
is being borne. We sometimes feel
impatient at the way in which sed-
iment closes the mouths ofourrivers
and impedes navigation. If we
could see a map of our country,
with a red line surrounding all the
portions that have been built out OF
this silt, think it would startle
most of us to recognize how much OF
our best land is the gift of these
mud streams.-Professor S. C.
Schmucker, in the March Ladies
Home Journal.

'In the town of Zamboanga, in the
Island of Mindanoa." said Repre-
sentative Mercer, who has just re-
turned from the Philippines, all
Americans are called John by the
natives-men, women and children
alike. You know in the United
States the almost invariable custom
S to call Cinnamon john and they
DO not relish it at all, as they have
their names like any other national
itv. A Chinaman who had some eX.
perience with the custom referred
to lived in Zamooanga, and when he
heard the Americans were coming he
hustled around to all the inhabitants
of the village and informed them
that there was nothing which the
Americans regarded as greater
compliment than being called John
Consequently, wherever an American
goes in that village the natives bow
and scrape and salute him as John.
Then they look pleased, and then
manner indicates that a few copper
coins would be appreciatively re.
ceived and they cannot understand
why the Americans do not respond

LEAvENWoRTH STREET PAVING
Southwest Improvement Club Asks
City Council TO order Re-
pairs at once.

w. H. Green. president Of the Southwest
Improvement club, has written a letter to
the city council In which he makes com
plant as to the condition OF the brick paw
ing on Lesvenworth street between Nine
teenth and Twenty-sixth streets. This ac-
tion was taken in pursuance to a resolu-
tion OF the club at a recent meeting. The
complaint is that the bricks on this street
between the points mentioned are worn out
and that the street is rapidly becoming i'm
passabie. The writer points out to the
council that quick action is necessary II
the rights Of the property owners are to be
protected. He says that the contractor who
laid the pavement guaranteed 1t for ten
years and that the guaranty will expire
January 10. 1908. so that In order to have
the guaranty made good IL will be neees-
sary to order the necessary repairs made
before that time.
Mr.. Green said: I'VE have had trouble
on this street before. II is naturally low,
and Il may be difAeult to maintain pave
ment. In fourteen years the property own-
ers have paid for two pavements, and II
something is not done by the council soon
TO compel the contractor TO make good hts
guaranty We will be compelled to pay for
three within fifteen years. or an average
life OF 1--WE years to each pavement. The
hrst pavement was wooden blocks and like
all Of these pavements was q fraud. The
present pavement Is supposed TO be Vitrlned
brick, but II was my opinion at the time
they were laid. and I think that opinion l.
now borne out. that few II any vitrihed
bricks we're used In the pavement, while In
some eases the bricks put down seemed to
be little better than ordinary building
bricks. II the council will take the matter
up this summer the pavement can be re-
paired az the expense OF the contractor.
but II Il IL allowed 70 drag for sin months
the property owners will have to make good

MooRES AND coNNELL DIFFER
They Fail TO Agree ON Proposition 20
Tear Down Condemned
BuiIdinEs.

Mayor Moores said yesterday: IF I can
get the council to back me up in Il l shall
employ an attorney outside Of the present
legal department Of the city to prosecute
these cases where injunction suits are
brought restraining us from tearing down
old, dilapidated buildings. l am not pleased
with City Attorney Connell's attitude in the
matter. According TO my view, and that Of
the building inspector, he is not proceeding
along the right lines, and his manner is
lukewarm and Indifferent"
This remark was apropos the condemna-
ton May 1 of FIVE tumble-down frame struc-
lures, the property Of james Walsh, num-
bered 1913, 1917, 1874. 1317h and 1884

them May /, and after carefully examining
them decided that they had deprecated
more than 50 per cent from their original
value. and so ordered them torn down. Civ
ing Mr.. Walsh thirty days in which to com
ply with the order. Since then an injunc-
tion suit has been filed by Mr.. Walsh. re-
straining the city from interfering with the
property.
Al the same time the board inspected
and condemned a frame cottage on Seven
teenth street near Davenport and Issued q
similar order concerning 1t. The city has
also been e~njoined In this case.
There is a city ordinance now In effect
according to which the building inspector
may not issue a permit for repairs upon
any building hat has deprecated so per
cent, but must instead order the structure
RACED.
Mr.. Connell said: 81 don't know any
thing about the Jones street property, but
l visited the Davenport street cottage and
l 1nd that the only thing that is the mat
ter with It is that a recent fire has burned
a hole through the shingles. Fifteen dol
lars would put it in as good shape as 1t
ever was. l am in favor Of beautifying
the city, but I'm not in favor Of tearing
down every building that is not strictly
aesthetic In order to accomplish that end.
II the city goes ahead and tears down such
buildings as that 1t will lay itself liable
to heavy damage suits. The buildings may
not be worth much now, but when they
are once torn down they will be like the
scrub COW that is run over by the locomo-
tive-a thoroughbred, worth $1,000"
