L1aHrEsT WOOD THAT GROWS
Found in Missouri and It is Con-
 sidered Lighter Than Cork.

Deep in the bogs and swamps of Southeast ern Missouri. in DunkIin and Butler Coun- ties. where the land is never dry and water in the forests, there grows rare and curious tree The natives know it as the corkwood or cork tree. Science has given 1t a longer cause 1t was first discovered in Florida along the coast. from which 1t has long since washed away.
 Some meagre specimens of 1t, two. to six feet high. are stin found in the swamp near Ark but In both these places 1t is exceed ingly limited in numbers, an occasional spec!- men being found, and hardly rises to the dignity of a tree. Only In Southeast Ms souri, where it reaches a height of fifteen to twenty feet and diameter of two to i've inches Is it really tree
 What makes the corkwood so remarkable IS It's exceeding lightness. Beyond doubt It is' as MT William Trelease, of the Missouri bo- tanical garden has shown, the lghtest tree in weight that grows. Its wood weighs less than cork. It Is light that the natives use 1t to make floats for their fishing nets. And vet its wood, though so spongy that one may easily sink ones finger nall 1t, is far tougher than cork. The specific gravity of corkwood. as learned from careful tests made by Professor Nipher, in st. Louis is .2n. test showing them to have the astonishngly low specific gravity of .150
 further idea of the lightness of the cork wood may be gained by a comparison with other woods. The great majority of woods range between 400 and 800. Cork Itself is 24O The tree that approaches closest to the corkwood in lightness Is the golden fir tree. which grows in the swamps around Tampa Ray and along the Indian River, Florida Its specific gravity. according to Sargent, is .26l6, Tn comparison with the corKwood, which Is the lightest wood with it's specific gravity of the black lronwood of Florida. whose specific gray Is 1302,

How to Prevent SunstrOke.

The heated term Is withstood without a whimper by those people who have a healthy stomach. Hot weather cannot hurt the man or woman whose stomach and digestive organs are perfectly healthy But you go into July or August with a disordered stomach and see what the result will be. Sunstroke attacks only the man or woman whose stomach and digestive orgars are too feeble to protect the strength and maintain one s physical power to resist the depressing effects of tho summers sun. Summer diet with all it's vegetables and unripe fruits. adds its unstable influence to the depressing effects of hot weather, caus- ing a still greater decline in ones strength and vitality.
 Ninety-nine of every one hundred peo- pie whose health and strength runs down in summer allow their stomach or dfges- tive organs to get out of order. This Is easy enough-in fact it is hard to pre- vent without the use of some thoroughly reliable digestant.
 KodoI after meals is not only a thor oughly reliable digestant, but it contains great tonic and recOnstructive properties as we'll This famous remedy enables the stomach and digestive organs to thor oughly digest, assimilate and contribute to the tissues all of the nourishment that is contained in such food as may he eaten.
 Kodol clears the way and makes sure the journey from sickness to health and weakness to strength, If the stomach is disordered Kodol will correct it. If diseased Kodol will cure it.
 Kodol lays the foundation for health, and the upbuilding of strength by cleans ing. purifying and sweetening the glands and membranes of the stomach. and by supplying natural juices nee essary to perfect digestion. assimilation and nutri- tion.

public editorially voices our senti nents
when it says: IF Sunnvside people are
for division it cannot be because they
are jealous of North Yakima or hostile
to it," Sunnyside is jealous of no other
section. Her relations with North Yak
ina have always been most cordial. She
would greatly regret to see them other
wise: but Sunnyside will never consent
to division of this county that cuts in
twain the splendid territory that lies
tributary to her.
1t is possible, as suggested by the Re-
public, "that Sunnyside is out of the
running for the county seat" 1t is
more than possible, according to the
Washingtonian, that the agitation in
favor of county division is carried on by
the inspiration of politicians who see a
chance to hold Office in the new county.
1t is possible that these same politicians
will succeed in carving up the territory
of Yakima county, ASST ming to Sunny
side the honorable position of doing
sentinel duty on the extreme border of
either the old or the new subdivision
and running the lines according to the
dictates of their own sweet wills. But
it is also possible that before these mat
tiers are pressed to the point of legisla-
tive action, before they sum up for full
and final adjudication, there may have
to be reckoning, not with the politi-
clans nor with the agitators but with
the thoughtful and determined citizen
ship of Sunnyside.
