PREVENTATIVE MEDICINE.

A health authority of high stand
ing in the medical profession says II
is safe to prophesy that the time will
come when hospitals for infectious
diseases will be empty and not want
cd. l also look forward to the time
when it will be as anomalous for
persons to die of scarlet fever, ty-
phoid, cholera, and diphtheria as it
will for a man to die of VOLTS bite
in England. Very little, however,
can be done by the legislature, but
everything by the progress of medi-
cal science, and in a much larger de-
gree by the intelligence of the peo-
pie. We must recognize that the
saying that every one must eat a
peck of dirt before he dies is err
roneous, and see that dirt is unde-
sirable. Preventive medicine is
founded upon hard fact, prudence,
and common sense. The mystery Of
the ancient doctor, his use of long
names, and his extraordinary pre-
scriptions are passing away. Multi
tudes of shelves full of bottles which
surround doctors are also passing
away, and being replaced by simple
living. suitable diet, plenty of sun,
and plenty of fresh air. The fight of
the present day Is against millions of
microbes, and the weapons are sani-
tary regulations, municipal govern
ment, the sanitary inspector, and the
medical officer of health.

Little has been said about Thomas
A. Edison in the newspapers of late,
but an interviewer who called upon
him recently found him hard at
work. The great inventor has given
up money-making but is still greatly
interested in several problems and
devotes much time to the solution.
The greatest of these, he believes, is
the approaching exhaustion of the
coal supply of the world, and the
need of finding some other source OF
light and heat. To this research he
is applying all the powers of his
mind, but solely from the scientific
and philanthropic point of view. He
is done with commercia1ism, ne says
in all it's forms.

FORESTS AND LUMBER.

A point in the industrial progress
of the United States has now been
reached where development of the
country is made, not in the face OF
the forest. but with its essential aid.
The old process of exhausting the
supply of timber in region and then
seeking new fields is practically over
Already the lumber industry is turn
ing back on its tracks. A quality of
timber is eagerly sought in the lake
states which few years ago was ig-
nored as utterly worthless, and in the
south the whole pine region is being
gone over in a close search for the
old field pine, tree once despised
but now bought up at prices much
higher than those formerly paid for
the magnificent timber of the virgin
forests.
A publication just issued by the
department of agriculture, entitled
National Forests and the Lumber
Supply" defines the important part
which the national forests are des-
tined to play in the economic devel-
opment of the country. Abuses have
grown up under the laws which pro-
vide for the disposition of public
land, notably the segregation of large
holdings of timber land for specu-
lative purposes. Timber from the
national forests is now purchased by
the thousand board feet, and pay
ment is made upon the actual scale
of the logs when cut. Two dollars
and half per thousand feet is COM
paratively low as. present charges go,
but since the cut ranges from 5000
to 10000 feet per acre, the govern
ment receives from five to twenty
times as much for the timber as il
did under the timber and stone act
Public opinion now demands, not
that the government should dispose
of its remaining timberlands as rap
,x,,t
vate enterprise to exploit the foreS
hastily, but that what remains of the
national forests should be more con
servatively used. The government
has been forced into the lumber bust
ness solely in order that supply OF
forest products may be guaranteed tC
future generations.

PILLOWS FOR THE SICK.
Have Plenty of Little Ones to Tuck
In Around an Invalid.

There is no problem more difficult
Of Scion than how to make long
stay in bed or convalescing period
comfortable for the patient.
Pillows, pillows, pillows, score or
more of them is the solution, says the
Circle. Not full-sized heavy-feather
pillows, but small light wool, down
hair, or even balm cushions are the
com.o,,s which ease the patients
tired muscles.
They should be in sizes ranging
from 10 to Is inches in length and
from 8 to IL inches wide, or they can
be made square. The larger ones are
excellent if made of hair and tufted
like a mn tress.
These Little comfort cushions can be
slipped under the neck, at the small
OF the back, under the knees or heels,
and placed where a tired arm can
rest comfortably upon them; this for
the patient in bed.
When the patient is sitting up the
pillows can be tucked in all the hol-
lows. and are especially useful in pre-
renting that awful ache where the
bend of the knees rests against the
chair.
These small pillows also fit nicely
