Congressman Littlefeld, of Maine, in
q speech at St. Paul, MIMI, last week,
predicted the nomination Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for another term. He
said: 81 think that Theodore Roose-
welt will be nominated. OF course, in
expressing this belief, I am judging
the situation as it now stands, and
there may be change In the course
of events. I am convince that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is sincere in his de.
claration that he does not want to De
a candidate again, but I believe in
spite of this declaration that he will
be the first choice of the republicans
ut the national convention. He has
already been Endorsed by large num-
Der of state legislatures, and he is
stronger with the people than he has
ever been.n

Cedar Wood For Lead Peuc,

Cedar Wood For Lead Pencils.
The lead pencil is one OF the most COM
mon articles in every day use, and nearly
$40, 10000 pencils are manufactured in
this country every year. To manufacture
these millions of pencils there are re-
quired 10000 tons, or 100000 cubic feet
Of wood, so that each day in the year 800
tons, or 10000 cubic feet of wood, are used
for pencils. Since practically all of the
wood is red cedar, and since the pencil in
dustry is steadily growing, the supply of
red cedar is greatly depleted; yet no SUBJ
stitute has been found for it. Leaving out
of consideration the imported pencils, the
average educated American over ten years
Of age uses six pencils of home manufac-
ture each year. Ten years ago he used less
than five.
Red cedar has soft, straight grain, and
when grown under best conditions, is very
free from defects. Because of its peculiar
qualities no equally good substitute for it
has ever been found, and it is doubtful if
any other wood-using industry is SO de-
pendent upon single species as the PEN
ell industry is dependent upon red cedar.
In fact, red cedar suitable for pencil man
ufacture is the only wood the price of
which is always quoted by the pound
Strange as it may seem, no steps have
heretofore been taken to provide for
future supply OF red cedar. This has been
largely due to lack Of information on
the rate Of growth and the habits Of the
tree, and to the widespread belief that
second growth red cedar never reaches
merchantable size.
In accordance Nth its policy toward the
conversation and economic use of COM
mercial woods, the Forest Service has
made careful study of red cedar and has
come to the conclusion that it can profit
ablo be grown IN regions of its develop
ment. Several changes are recommended
in present forest management in order to
secure the desired growth. In the south
ern forests the cedar will have to be given
better chance instead of being consid-
cred, as now, a negligible quantity in it's
younger stages, and many of the Forest
grown trees which are now cut for fence
posts can probably be left to attain their
full development and thus become avail
able for pencil wood.

Modesty is womans watchword. Whatever

frightens her. For this reason many a woman
permits diseases of the womanly organs to
become aggravated because she cannot bring
herself to submit to the ordeal of unpleasant

noxious local treatments, which some physi-
clans find necessary. Doubtless thousands of
the women who have taken advantage of DR.
