A man was coming up from Chun-

whereupon they came back and handed
him the money and begged his pardon
for their mistake and they gave him
ten yen extra as a contribution on their

they did not want TO obtain notoriety in

USING UP OUR TIMBER SUPPLY.
Three Times rs Much Timber Used
Each Year as the Forest Grows.

IaCn Year as the EOreSt Grows.
Every person in the United States
is using over six times as much wood
as he would use If he were in Eu-
rope. The country, as n whole, con-
| sumes every year between three and
| four times more wood than all OF the
| forests OF the United States grow in
| the meantime. The average acre of
! forest lays up n store OF only ten Gu
bic feet annually. whereas IL ought
TO be laying up at least thirty cubic
feet in order TO furnish the products
taken out of it, Since 1880 more
than 0O,000,00O, 1000 feet of timber
have been cut for lumber alone, in
Guiding $4,000, 700 feet OF conf
erous timber in excess OF the total
coniferous stumpage estimate of the
census in 1880.
These are some Of the remarkable
statements made in Circular No. 81
OF the Forest Service, which deals
with the timber supply Of the United
States, and reviews the stumpage es-
Inmates made by all the important
| must lead directly to the conclusion
! that the rate at which forest products
in the United States have been and
are being consumed Is far too lavish,
and that only one result can follow
unless steps are promptly taken TO
prevent waste in use and TO increase
the growth rate Of every acre OF for
est in the United States. This result
is a timber famine. This country is
| to-day in the same position with re-
gard to forest resources as was Ger
many $50 years ago. During this pc
riod OF $50 years such German States
as Saxony and Prussia, particularly
the latter, have applied a policy of
Government control and regulation
which has immensely increased the
productivity of their forests. The
same policy will achieve even better
results in the United States, because
we have the advantage OF all the les
sons which Europe has learned and
paid for in the course OF a century Of
theory and practice.
Lest it might be assumed that the
rapid and gaining depletion OF Amer
ican forest resources is sufficiently
| accounted for by the increase OF pop
ulation, 1t is pointed out in the circu-
lar that the increase in population
since 1880 is barely more than half
the increase In lumber cut In the
same period. Two areas supplying
timber have already reached and
passed their maximum production
the Northeastern States in 1870 and
the Lake States In 1890. To-day the
Southern States, which cut yellow
pine amounting 10 one-tbird the to-
tai annual lum Der cut OF the country,
are undoubtedly near their maximum.
The Pacific States will soon take the
ascendancy. The State OF Washing
ton, within few years, has come TO
the front, and now ranks first OF all

And Il Wound Her Bobbin.

Tea drinking frequently affects
people as badly as coffee. A lady in
Salisbury. Md, says that she was

Il threatened TO ruin her health and
that she went over 10 tea drinking.
but finally she had dyspepsia so bad
that she had lost twenty-five pounds
and no food seemed to agree with
her.
She further says: "At this time I

Scientific Eating Reforms Bad Boys.

Scientinc Eating Reforms BAD Boys.
The following menu, according 10
Superintendent Thomas II. MacQueary
OF the Chicago Parental school, will,
if partaken Of regularly for a period
OF nine months, reform the worst boy
IN the country:
One tablespoonful rolled oats, half
cup milk, one teaspoonful sugar, half
teacup butter. cup cereal coffee.
A meal at the school for truants and
"sub-normal' boys is figured down to
so many thousandths part of pound
of protein, which is the essential ele-
ment Of proteid foodstuffs, and to a
certain number of calories of heat to
be produced by the food Sixty-siX
pounds of protein and 6SO6S6 calories
of heat will reform the average bad
boy, as the average stay Of the in
mates at the school is 81 months, dur
ing which time the menus would foot
up as above.
Superintendent MacQueary admits
there is some difficulty in the distribu-
tion of protein and calories. The food
is placed on a common table and when
a boy procures an extra slice of bread
he is just 101 calories 10 the good.

Women for the most part spend
their lives nj home, and IL is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat

and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
Is never done" and is il any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of
few years. the back begins 90 ache,
there is n displacement, Inflammation

that life was at stake, he screamed
