Pennsylvania Tree Growing Bounty.
There Is a law on the statute books
of Pennsylvania which ought to have
wide circulation. 1t Is "An Act for
the Encouragement Of Forestry"
This law takes the best means pos
sible to encourage owners OF land
to preserve and propagate timber
trees, for 1t allows q reduction Of
taxes to the owner of forest land
which comes up to certain require
ments of the act The first man to
take advantage of the new law is an
Allegheny County farmer, Mr.. Ten
ner, of Leet Township Mr.. Tenner
has obtained from the County Com
missioners a reduction Of $3.50 on
his taxes for complying with the pro-
visions OF the law.
1t is rather remarkable that the
second county in the State in point
of population should be the first to
pay a bounty for forest preservation
under the new law, but such is the
case. - Pittsburg Chronicle. Tele-

TO THE RESCUE OF THE PIE.
The American Product in Danger
Through Attacks by Authorities.

Secretary Wilson and DR.. Wiley
have struck blow at a national in
stltution. II almost seems that they
might as well have attacked the
Fourth Of July or the Monroe Doc
trine as to impeach the purity and
salutary qualities OF the American
pie. Numerous pie-eaters, high and
low, are preparing to rally to the
defense Of that Wand. But when 1t
Is understood that only the. CONNER
cialized, aduterated and degraded
pie of commerce Is arraigned the ne
cessity of defense may be less evi-
dent.
The pie of our mothers and grand
mothers Is not maligned. Those pure
domestic confectlons, manufactured
in family kitchens, whether from ap-
pies, rhubarb, cherries, blackberries.
gooseberrles, huckleberries or the al
Turing but deleterious mince, with
out the introduction Of exotic chem
icals, can defy the inquisition Of gov
ernment chemists, seeking for infrac-
tion Of the pure food law.
But that portion Of the pie product
which has passed under the sway OF
pie foundries is asserted to be mixed
with deleterious additions. What bo-
raclc acid is to meats and iodoform
to milk, benzoate of soda is stated By
DR.. Wiley to be to the pies OF trade
And it is announced that pies OF the
vintage of 1906 treated by that pre-
servative, for sale in the appropriate
season of 1907, are to be put under
the taboo of the pure food law.
He who is ruled by the true Ameri-
can sentiment for pie will not object
The enforcement of this rule Will
turn US back TO true American prac-
tees, and incidentally support Presi-
dent Rooseyelt's campaign against
race suicide. That the American ma
ton will go without pie is unthink-
able. But that the national appetite
may be properly and legally satisfied
our wives and daughters must revive
the art of producing such pies as
mother used to make, unseasoned by
any modern devices OF chemicals or
preservatives s.-Plttsburg Dispatch
