Wire

Every nerve is a live wire
connecting some part OF the
body with the brain. They are
so numerous that if YOU pene-
trate the skin with the point Of
a needle you will touch a nerve
and receive a shock--pain it is
called. Aches and pains come
from a pressure, strain or in
jury to nerve; the more prom
inent the nerve the greater the
pain. When the pain comes
from a large nerve it is called
Neuralgia
whether it be tho facial nerves,
or the heart, stomach, sciatic
or other prominent nerve
branch. To stop pain, then,
you must relieve the strain or
pressure upon the nerves.

Forestry and Leasing Question.

The following pointed observations
are from recent issue OF Ranch and
Range, Denver:
''How this question will be decided
is u problem that the wisest are un-
able to solve. The big majority of
western ranchmen are opposed to the
plans as outlined by the president
and chief forester, Pinchot. While
the west wants its range protected
and the homesteader and homeseeker
given every opportunity to assist in
her development, yet she justly
claims the same rights as are accord
ed to the people of the east. If the
government adopts the practice of
Forcing the citizens directly benefited
by its protection, to bear the expense
in one section of the natiou, it should
adopt the same practice in all sec
tiOns. If the west is to bear the total
expense of the forest reserves, then
why not make the citizens of the
Missouri valley bear the expense of
controlling the waters of her streams?
Why not the coast states bear the
expense of keeping the harbors in
repair and so on throughout all parts
of the nation? Why force the pio-
neers of the west, men who are
struggling to develop their country
and indirectly enrich the nation, to
bear the burden of protecting the ma
tion's interest while the wealthy
classes of the effete east have their
protection furnished them at the eX-
pense of the nation? 1t is unjust, 1t
is not right, and should the question
be forced to an issue, the west would
be justified in rebelling and protect
ing their rights. If this is to be a
free nation, let all classes and sec
tions have an equal chance.

Value Of Manufactures.

ashington.-Fifteen billions of dol.
lars represents the value of the annual
production of manufacturers in the
United States. After careful estimates
were made by experts, John NJ Car
son, chief of the bureau of manufac-
lures, was able to make this state
ment in the annual report of the op-
erations of his bureau, just made pub
lie. The figures do not represent fn-
lshed products entirely, but include
products in various stages of progress.
Last year the aggregate value of do
mestic merchandise exported was ST.
s54, 900, 900, an increase of nearly $780,
100000 over the preceding year. In
this classification manufactures ready
for consumption" are credited with
$4S0,000,000 and the figures are gen
orally accepted as the extent of the
exports of manufactures.
The report of the bureau, however,
groups this classification with those of
food stuffs partly or wholly manufac-
tured" and manufactures for further
use in manufacturing" the aggregate e
exports of which last year were s606,.
100000, and this amount, added to
manufactures ready for consumption, -
makes the aggregate value of manu-.
factures exported in the year ending
June 80, s1,0S6. 900, or more than
6fty-eight per cent. of the entire ex-
ports Of the year. Special significance
is attached to the increase of nearly
800, 100000 in the exports of completed
manufactures, in view of the fact that
the exports of cotton clothes declined
more than 1921, 100000, this loss being
entirely in the cotton trade with China
The popular feeling aroused in that
country, growing out of alleged out.
RACES against Chinese residents in the
United States, is assigned as contrib
utory cause for this decline.
The cotton seed products exports Tor
the year were more than 100000, 900,
an increase of s9,500,00O over 1906.
In commenting on these figures, the
report says:
aside from it's intrinsic value, this
relatively new industry has an econom-
lc value and importance to the country,
the beneficial results of which are es-
pecially felt in the southern states, in
which the cotton seed industry is nat
usually located"

WRIGHT BROTHERS AIRsHIP.
Report That It Has Been Purchased
by the Government.

New York.-Striving to construct an
aerial warship, the United States gov
ernment, it has been ascertained on
good authority, has obtained control of
the aeroplane invented by Wilbur and
Orville c. Wright, brothers, of Dayton,
Ohio, who it is admitted by all aero
nautic experts, have solved the secret
of aerial navigation with Heavier
than air" flying machine.
Both the War Department and the
brothers have guarded the secret con-
tract with great care, and denials were
made by government officials today
that the United States had made any
deal with the Wrights.
After having made the contract with
the government, the brothers, who
had been watched by secret agents
from at least six countries of Europe
and the Far East, took their machine
to pieces and went to Europe. 1t was
said they had gone abroad to negoti-
ate with foreign countries for the sale
OF the rights to their aeroplane, but in
fact they are in the employ of this
country and are under instructions to
get all information possible of the pro-
gress made by other countries in the
art of flying.
They are expected back next month.
Then part of the fruits of their for
eign mission will be evident.
The government for many years has
spent money secretly in trying to solve
the problems of aerial navigation, and
in the first of the year, it will begin
to work in the open. While it is not
likely that all the work which the
Wright brothers have accomplished
will be made public, arrangements are
under way for experiments in Fort
Wadsworth in Washington and in var
ious forts throughout the country.
Secretary Taft will ask congress at
the next session to appropriate at least
100000 for the building of an airship
fleet. The contract with the Wright
brothers, however, is reported to have
been made with money that came from
secret government fund. 1t is from
that same fund that the government
has been spending money for many
years investigating the problem of air
navigation. Though the United States
had generally thought to be far behind
other countries IN this work, the fact
is, in the opinion of one kigh authority,
that the United States leads the world
Air warships are no longer a dream,
this man asserts. The Wright broth
ers claim to have demonstrated the
rracticability of aerial fight.
