Use of Coarse scrim.

Coarse scrim may be used in many ways, its possibilities being r.-=.otiva,- ly without limit. This scrim takes dye beautifully and curtains made of it and embroidered in old-fashioned cross stitch leave little to be desired in the way of beauty. The work is done right on the material, as the weave is like canvas, the threads are easily counted and there is no tax on the eyes. There is no end to the de- signs suited to cross-stitch embroid- cry, and almost any flower, slightly conventionalized, may be used. A beautiful set of curtains seen recently were of scrim dyed deep coffee color, with dragons worked in dull blue scattered about here and there.

Value of Enthusiasm.

The word enthusiasm really means possession by a god. The trait itself belongs to what we call our better selves. And whether it is an elevated and noble excitement in pursuit of some object, or the ardent response to some high pleasure which has kindled the imagination, the effect is the same, the uplifting of human na' ture.

government has waited for a bidder
before advertising for competitors.
This procedure, through delay, is
threatening too serious loss in the
waste of trees now infested and in the
spread of the beetles to fresh stands.
The forest service will not take the
initiative and advertise for bidders.
in order to draw attention to this TIM
Der, which is menace to the future
supply on the reserve.
By securing prompt purchasers for
the infested logs and standing trees,
and destroying the insect brOods by
firing the bark and slash, it is hoped
lhat the surrounding forests will soon
be saved from further insect attack.
The timber attacked by the bark
beetle has not lost it's commercial
value. There is no reason why the de-
sired sales should not more than re-
imburse the government, besides util-
izing a large amount of pine which
would otherwise be wasted.

TO SELL INFESTED TIMBER
Check Ravages Of Black Hills
Beetle
GOVERNMENT IS SEEKING PURCHASERS
SERVICE MAKES OFFER
OF GOOD WOOD CHEAP TO
SAVE THE PROPERTY.

In the effort to check the pine bark
beetle, which has been severely at
lacking the forests in parts of the
Black Hills forest reserve, South Da-
kota, the government is resorting to
drastic measures. For the first time
under the forest service, actual cut
ting, skidding and burning of debris
ave been carried on by government
employees. Insect-infeSted timber
both standing and already felled un-
der service direction, is offered for
sale. Large quantities of it can be
secured at fraction of the price
charged for green wood.
Yet this wood is just as good for
lumber and railroad ties as green
wood and would ordinarily bring an
equal price Small sales have not
been numerous enough to remove the
infested timber; hence it is necessary
to offer special inducements if the
timber is to be saved Timber not
now accessible can be reached under
extensive operations which would
warrant the building of the necessary
railroads.
This action followed upon a study
of the insect situation on the reserve
by DR.. A. D. Hopkins, in charge of
forest insect Investigations in the
bureau of entomology, who recon-
mended that the service push the cut
ting and disposal of infested timber
as the only means of preventing the
spread of the beetles through wider
and wider areas. To broaden the mar
ket for the timber clause in the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill, last win
ter, permitted the expectation of tim
Der for two years beyond the borders
of South Dakota. But even this has
not brought enough or large enough
applications to take the timber which
should be disposed of. Hitherto the

sician and treat as a physician those
persons who were financially unable to
employ a private physician, and for
such services he could not collect any
special fees in addition to his regular
salary But since we believe it not to
be customary for physicians in this
state to supply their own medicines,
we think that the county should pay
for the medicine supplied in such cases
by such officer over and above the sal
airy of such officer, unless the terms of
his appointment provide that he shall
furnish his own medicines.
County Is Not Liable.

will say that since the statute provides
that county commissioners shall ap-
point health officers, who shall also be
the county physicians, in case such
health officer has actually been appoin-
ted and is actually acting in such cap
acity of county physician, we do not
think that private physician who was
fiicted person could legally collect the
same from the county, since the county
has provided a physician whose duty
it is to attend its INDECENT poor, and if
such public physician is not called up
on, such county cannot be held liable
Nor do we think that such private
physician could collect from the county
for the medicine actually furnished, un-
less the same was furnished upon the
order of the board of county commits

relative to the duty Of health officers
upon the appearance Of contagious dis

eral says:
With the consent of your prosecut-

ion of the office upon the questions you
submit is as follows:
Section l of the laws of 1908, page
50, provides that the board of county
commissioners shall constitute the
board of health of each county and that
they shall appoint a legally qualified
physician county health officer, who
shall also be the county physician and
who shall be exc fficio member of the
county board of health and shall be the
executive officer thereof.

eff the person afflicted with a contag-
ious disease is not able to pay for the
services of an attending physician when
necessary, it would be the duty Of the
health officer to treat as a physician

person, since such health officer is also
the county physician. We believe that

the phrase county physician as used
