much for the timber as it did under
the timber and stone act.
Public opinion now demands. not
that the government should dispose of
its remaining fimberlands as rapidly
AS possible and leave IL to private en-
terprise to exploit the forest hastily,
but that what remains of the national
forests should be more conservatively
used. The government has been forced
into the lumber business solely in or
der that a supply OF forest products
may be guaranteed to future genera
lions.
Probably SIS per cent Of the total
stand OF understandable timber within
the forests is located on the Pacific
coast where for a long time the enOr-
nous supply of privately owned timber
will satisfy most OF the demand This
more accessible private. timber sur
rounded the forests as the meat of
an apple surrounds the core. 1t has
been entirely eaten away i'm many
places. while in others IL Is locked I'D
by spectators. The thing to remem-
Der then, is that this immense body
Of public timber is there as a great
reserve against the time when private
timberlands will be depleted. and for
use as weapon against monopoly
The first effect OF national forests
upon prices, particularly where there
is still n great deal of available tim
ber is to raise the price of outside
sturspage toward its actual value by
withdrawing the excess supply Of low
priced timber from the market. But
later. as the supply of timber dwin-
dies and values are forced upward bv
speculative holdings. the effect of the
forests will be to check the advance
OF prices.
In the virgin forest. growth Is jus,
about balanced by decay. In the west
ern forests, however, natural deterior-
alton is greatly augmented by forest
fires. The fires usually do most harm
by damaging merchandise timber. but
great as this injury is. vastly more
actual loss in forest wealth results
from the yearly burning over of the
grass and underground of the forest
Ground fires do not consume the large
trees, but they destroy seedlings out
right and iniure growing trees so that
they quickly decay. Finally. the for

Far beyond the present influence of
the national forests upon the lumber
supply will be their importance in the
future. The United States is now fac

The definite result. therefore. of the

INTERNAL
COMMERCE
July Business Was Greater
Than a Year Ago.
The Chief Exception Was

As compared with the extraordinary
activity during the earlier part of the
year, the rate of output of some basic
industries. such as anthracite coal,
coke and pig iron production. shows a
slight let up. though the figures for

those for July, 1906. The ore handlers

LUMBER SUPPLY AND
NATIONAL FORESTS
Review of Publication Recently Is
sued by the Department of Agri-
culture,

A point in the industrial progress of
the United States has now been reach
ed where development of the country
il made. not in the face Of the forest
but with its essential aid. The old
process of exhausting the supply Of
timber in a region and then seeking
new fields is practically over. Already
the lumber industry is turning back on
its tracks. A quality of timber is
eagerly sought In the Lake states
which few years ago was ignored as
utterly worthless. and in the South the
whole pine region is being gone over
in closer search for the old field pine.
"a tree once despised but now bought
up at prices much higher than those
formerly paid for the magnificent tim
Der of the virgin forests.
A publication just issued by the De-
partment OF Agriculture, entitled Ma
tional Forests and the Lumber Sup
ply" defines the important part which
the national forests are destined to
play in the economic development of
the country. Abuses have grown up
under the laws which provide for the
disposition of public land. notably the
segregation of large holdings of tim
berland forspe culative purposes. Tim
Der from the national forests is now
purchased by the thousand board feet
and payment is made upon the actual
scale Of the logs when cut. Two dol
lars and a half per thousand feet is
comparatively low as present charges
go. but since the cut ranges from 5000
to 10000 feet per acre, the government
receives from five to twenty times as

The husbands Jokes.

If you want to help the man you are
going to marry to be strong and true
show him that you believe he has ey-
cry good quality. You will raise his
own self respect and bring him to the
level you tell him he occupies.
And don't make the mistake of think
ing it is all going to be paradise. You
are going to marry a man who will
come home tired, cross and tagged, and
he won't find relief for all his trials in
a caress and q few tender words, as he
did before marriage, when they were
more of a novelty. He would rather
have his dinner, though he may not
confess it. When he has been fed and
comforted, however, he will be ready
for this tenderness, and the fact that
he did not feel demonstrative when
his stomach was empty will be no sign
that he is not still in love.
Believe in the man you take as your
life's partner. Be gentle with him.
Don't contradict him when he is tired
Let him think he is having his own
way in his own house. Feed him with
what he likes and laugh at his jokes
Herein lies the secret of a happy home

fly back farther on one side than on

that the stitching upon plaits or cores
is. run up one side and down on the
side opposite. The natural inclination
followed even by the women that do
the work for good tailors is to stitch
down from the top on one side and,
turning the skirt most easily in the
machine, to stitch up on the other.
Instead all of the work should run up
or all Of it down, preferably down.
Without taking this care a skirt may
sag, and the greatest amount of fuss

New LAMPS For Old.

Almost every lamp needs boiling oc-
casionally when the light burns dimly
and no attention to oil or wick viii
make any difference.
Take the lamp apart, remove the
wick and then boil both burner and
wick in hot water in which has been
thrown some washing soda.
When every part has been thoroughly
cleaned and as thoroughly dried, put in
the wick, trim it, fill the lamp with oil
and the light will be brilliant.
