ECONOMY THE RULE
Necessary TO Husband to the ut-

MUST PRACTICE SUBSTITUTION
Matter OF Providing Preservatievs
for Wood is Of Growing
Importance.

The rapid disappearance of the best
American timbers has developed a
new method of economy, which is, in
brief, that inferior timbers shall be
pressed into service and by proper
seasoning and preserving be made to
take the place of those more valua-
BILE
The idea is the inevitable outcome
of wasteful cutting, long continued,
which has culled the forests of their
best trees, so that Industries requir-
ing high grade woods at low cost
are less and less able to obtain sup
plies at price which they can afford
to pay. White oak, for example, was
for many years practically the only
wood used for railroad ties. So album
dant and cheap was this timber that
1T never occurred to the railroads it
would not always continue to be
abundant and cheap. Ties were laid
without seasoning two days after
being hewn. or were left to lie and
decay in bitches of water before they
were put in the track. But condi-
tions have changed; white oak for
ties, fence posts, piles and other com
mon purposes can not be used to the
same extent as formerly. and it's
place has largely been taken by in
ferior timbers.
Put to HIehest Use.
1t is not enough that forestry on n
large scale replace the present waste
full methods of cutting. since forestry
can not make up Immediately for
what has been lost. 1t is essential.
while administering wisely to for
ests which still remain, that the tim
bers cut be now put to their highest
use; that good timber be put only
to high grade purpose. and that a
poor timber be substituted for a good
timber whenever il will do the work
required
This kind Of forest economy the
bureau of forestry, having in mind
the increasing demand for good tim
bers and the diminishing forest re-
sources, has pcrsistently urged and
BY every available means
It has attempted to find uses for

TrIumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased sec
tons of the veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before infiam-
nation sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also aIlays the pain and
soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you
time and money, not to mention the
Inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail For sale by all

SCOTT NOW JUDGE
Recently Elected Mercer County
Man Seated on Supreme
Bench.
BEGAN HIS DUTIES YESTERDAY
Opinion on ReapportiOnment Filed
With Magruder Dis
senting.

Springfield, Ill, June 17.-Judge Guy
c. Scott. of Aledo, who defeated Judge
Joseph n. Carter for judge of the SUI
Preme court in the new Fourth SUI
preme judicial district, sat in Judge
Carriers place in the supreme court
yesterday, Judge Carter having re-
turned home yesterday afternoon.
Members of the court said they
thought Judge Carter had not the
slightest intention of contesting the
election of Judge Scott, as he has as
sisted the new Judge in several mat
ters that were necessary to him to
learn in order to obtain an insight
into the work of the court, and has
not even limited at a contest.
Later information today indica ties
that the friends of former Judge Car
ter are persisting and will make a
contest if the slightest pretext can
be found upon which to base it, \
meeting of members of the republican
judicial committee of the Fourth dis
triet was held at Quincy today pre-
sumably in connection with the pro-
posed contest.
Opinion Filed.
The supreme court handed down its
opinion sustaining the reapportion-
ment of the Fourth supreme judicial
district. The majority opinion, signed
by all the Judges except Magruder.
holds that the constitution provides
that but one district can be changed
at a time and that there is no doubt
nv, ,f
state, the old Fourth district was 10O.-
900 short on population as compared
with other districts; that the reap
portionment equalized the population
of the districts, and that the new dis
trict was contiguous. 1t also is held
that the change must be made at the
session of the legislature preceding
the election for Judges. Judge Ma
gruder handed down a dissenting
opinion.
