the mountains. The Appalachian noun tains must have fully half of the coun- try's present supply of hardwood, in spite of the fact that heavy cutting has been going on in them for over a hundred years
 There are two main reasons why this region has borne such heavy cut ting and still contains so much of the supply. In the first place, the noun tain are non-agricultural. There has been no wholesale tendency to clear them for farming. Profitable farming exists, as rule, only in the valleys and on the lower slopes. Many sporadic attempts have been made to farm the high CT mountains especially in the southe ern Appalachian but the farms have been small and generally unprofit- able. After the pioneers patience or endurance has been exhausted the for est has slowly crept back and reclaim ed the land, from which 1t never should have been removed.
 Considering the impoverished supply and the tremendous demands on the part of all the industries for timber, there Is nothing surprising about the increase, which seems not quite to have kept pace with the increasing prices of softwoods. This Is rather remark able in view of the shorter supply but is probably due to the fact that soft woods. forming the main bulk of the lumber supply. have led i'll establish ing prices
 Along with the increase of prices there has been an almost constant, and an entirely necessary, relaxation of the rules by which lumber is graded and sold. The latest and most significant change is that made by the National Hardwood Lumber association at its meeting in Atlantic City in May. 1907. Heretofore only even lengths. such as G. and 10 and 2 feet have been upon the market. The changed rules allow even lengths down to feet and l5 per cent of odd lengths above feet. Smaller standards of thickness are also allowed. Many other equally significant changes are included It emphasizes the fact that we are down to the rock bottom, and require every sound piece of hardwood lumber that can be put upon the market.

 "The mountain ranges from Maine to Alabama should be made to produce the greater part of the hardwood sup ply, because growing hardwood tim Der is their most profitable use. There is, in fact, no other use to which the surface of these mountains can permanently be put. That they can not be successfully farmed has been proved in thousands of cases. For the most part they cannot even be per manently grazed.
 Tt is in the production of timber that they excel. They bear the great est variety of species and the best remaining hardwood growth anywhere to be found. Freed from their ene- mies-fire and unwise cutting-their forests readily reproduce the best kinds of timber.

LITTLE BABY CURED OF ECZEMA
Parents Applied to Hospitals and Doctors but Could Get No Re- lief Grew Worse Under Doctors Prescription - Friends Recom- mended Cuticura-Result
A SPEEDY AND
 PERMANENT CURE

"We express to you herewith our best thanks for the cure of our baby from eczema. The eczema appeared when the child WAS three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something differ ent every time, but nothing brought re- lief. A physician recommended salve which we threw into the fire after two days use as the eczema became worse so that the baby scratched his face. At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment. A few days afterwards improve ment could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old andis quite cured. All that we used. was one cake of Cuti- cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint- ment, costing in all sl25. Even the poorest man can pay that instead of throwing it into the doctors lap. 1 myself only make twelve dollars week as tearnster, but I recommend the Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth CTS whose children suffer from such dis eases.
