Timber Being Exhausted.

Forests can be numbered so AZ to give
the public the full use of their mercan'
tile timber without the slightest detri
ment to the forest, any more than it
is dctriment to farm to furnish a
harvest; so that there is no parallel
between forests and mines, which can
only he completely used by exhaustion.
But forests, if used as all our forests
have been used in the past and as most
of them are still used, will be either
wholly destroyed or so damaged that
many decades will have to pass before
effective use can be made Of them
again. All these facts are so obvious
that it is extraordinary that it should
be necessary to repeat them. Every
business man in the land, every writer

The Forests.

OF more interest than any other sub
.iect dealt with in the message, per
haps, is that of the forests. Following
is this part of the message:
Optimism is good characteristic,
but if carried to an excess it becomes
foolishness. We are prone to speak Of
tho resources of this country as mex.
haustible this is not so. The mineral
wealth of the country, the COAL iron,
oil, gas and the like, does not reproduce
itself and therefore is certain to be er
hausted ultimately; and wastefulness
in dealing with it today means that our
descendants will feel the exhaustion a
generation or two before they otherwise
would. But there are certain other
forms Of waste which could be entirely
stopped-the waste of soil by washing
for instance, which is among the most
dangerous of all wastes nov in progress
in the United States, is easily prevent.
able, so that the present enormous loss
Of fertility is entirely unnecessary The
preservation or replacement of the for
ests is one of the most important means
of preventing this loss. We have made
beginning in forest preservation, bu.
it is only beginning. AT present lum.
bering is the fourth greatest industry
in the United States; and yet, so rapid
has been the rate of exhaustion of tim.
Der in the United States in the past
and so rapidly is the remainder being
exhausted, that the country is unques
tionably on the verge of timber fam.
inc which will be felt in every house
hold in the land. There has already
been rise in the price of lumber, but
there is certain to be a more rapid and
heavier rise in the future. The present
annual consumption of lumber is Ger.
tainly three times as great rs the an.
nual growth; and if the consumption
and growth continue unchanged practi
cally all our lumber will be exhausted
in another generation, while long be
fore the limit to complete exhaustion is
reached the growing scarcity will make
itself felt in many blighting ways upon
our national welfare. About twenty per
cent of our forested territory is now
reserved in national forests; but these
do not include the most valuable tim
her lands, and in any event the proper
tion is too small to expect that the re-
serves can accomplish more than a nit
igation of the trouble which is ahead
for the nation. Far more drastic action
is needed.

in the newspapers, every man or WON
an of an ordinary school education,
ought to be able to see that immense
quantities of timber are used in the
country, that the forests which supply
this timber are rapidly being exhausted
and that if NO change takes place, ex.
haustion will come comparatively soon,
and that the effects of it will be severe
ly felt in the very-day life of our peo

obvious, there should be no delay in
taking preventive measures. Yet we
seem as nation to be willing to pro

Indifference even to the immediate flu

the self-interest of a very few persons
TO weigh for more than the ultimate in

Waste Should be Checked.

A big mine owner. anxions to develop
his mine at the moment, will care only
to cut all the timber tina, he wishes
without regard to the future--probably
not looking ahead to the condition of
the country when the forests are ex-
hausted, any more than he does to the
condition when the mine is worked out.

Of these persons actually demand that

they think that thereby the price of

whiskey, and where one would find it
commodity about as rare as paragoric
or other staple articles Of the druggist.
The non. Mahometan population OF
rural South Carolina is, in fact, suffering
change in its habits. The average
Southerner has long been pictured as
prone to the temptations of drink-to
the 'gentlemanly vices of the side
board" But if we are to believe "The
News and Courier" that picture is not at
all lifelike. Says that competent and
impartial observer:
The average Southern man in the small
towns and in the rural districts, or even
one of the exceptional men liable to get
drunk upon occasion, will not go far out
of his way for whiskey, and so long as
he does not see 1t in easy reach gives it
no thought. AS a rule the Southern
countryman upbraids the barkeeper and
not himself when he drinks to excess,
and naturally and by training from child
hood he is both sober and religious. In
the presence of whiskey he is frequently
weak, but he suffers little discomfort
from its absence"
In South Carolina, evidently, the dis.
pensary system has done great educa.
tional work. 1t has stripped liquor
drinking of the many fictitious attrac.
tions which it possesses elsewhere, and
by removing temptation has inclined the
people to sobriety and even abstinence
Yet this result has been accomplished
without any 'puritanical prescription
or any abhorrent stimulation of "hypoc
risy and pharisaism. - From Tribune
Farmer.

A POPULAR FOOD DELICACY

room to wonder why it is rapidly displacng
all other syrups on the market.
Karo Corn Syrup is a clear. golden syrup

it makes griddle cakes, waffles, biscuits ETC.,
fairly melt in ones mouth. 1t is delightful
as spread for bread. Housewives claim
that Its peculiarly delicate and pleasing
flavor make Karo unapproached for baking.
candy making or for any use where syrup is
employed as a sweetening agent.
More than this, Karo Corn Syrup is food
OF remarkable value, so nutritious and sus-
tanning has it proven to be. 1t delights and
benefits the old and young, the weak and
etrong, digesting with practically no tax
upon the system. Because OF its wholesome.
ness and natural purity, it has received the
unqualified endorsement OF food experts.
The method of packing and selling Karo
Corn Syrup in air-tight, friction top tins is a
purity of the product at all times. 45t1
