GRUBS in The BODY
Child Afflicted With q Peculiar
Malady Is Relieved

One of the most peculiar cases in
medical practice came to light at
the instance of a local. physician
Thursday. A four-month-old babe
was brought to the office for treat
ment for some unknown but exceed
ingly distressing ailment. Upon in
vetstigation it was found that some
unknown species Of fly had burrowed
in the fresh, wholesome skin Of the
child ON the chin, hands, abdomen
and other portions Of the child's
body, had deposited eggs and In
most instances these had developed
into grubs from -haff inch to tnfees
quarters in length and twenty Of
these loathsome insects were re-
moved from underneath the skin.
Some of the eggs were found inserted
just beneath the skin. The fly,
whatever kind 1t may be, had evil
IDENTIFY punctuled the skin, deposited
the eggs and most of them had
Matched, the case developing in two
days.
1t is said that medical records
and practice do not furnish a parallel
case in this country of clean, whole
some, sound, human flesh being at
tackled, although the gad-hy of South
America creates similar trouble.
Through negligence diseased flesh in
the case of wound has been known
to become fiy-blown 1t is not sup
posed that the common house fly, an
noying though it may be, is the
cause of this trouble, but it pehooves
the mothers of children, especially
the helpless little ones, to see that
they are protected from flies as
thoroughly as possible.
This little one was cleanly and
thoroughly cared for and how the
trouble came about is not known.
1t was necessary to administer
chloroform to the child and the
operation apparently relieved the
trouble

LUMBER USED
THE GOVERNMENT REPORT
SHOWS ENORMOUS OUTPUT
Probably Forty Billion Feet of
Timber Cut During Year
Just Past-Future
Supply

The production of lumber, lath
and shingles In the United States in
1905 was the largest ever recorded.
A census bulletin recently issued
gives thirty-seven and one-half bill
lion feet as the actual cut of the
81, 900 mills which made reports.
This is seven billion feet more than
the cut reported in 1905.
These figures at first seem to point
to very alarming conclusion-that
the country had in the last year cut
more than % per cent more lumber
than tn 1905, in the face of the fast
waning supply. The difference is,
however, chiefly due to the fact that
81 900 concerns have reported their
cuts as against less than 1900 a
year ago. The gain is the result Of
responses from the smaller mills,
made because the rank and file of
the lumbermen now appreciate that
these returns are important to the
trade, and that their value depends
upon everybody helping to make
them as complete as possible.
II the returns we're complete they
would probably show a cut of forty
billion feet for lumber alone. The
cut of lumber forms perhaps 40 pei
cent of the total lumber consump.
tion for all purposes. The figures
are alarming enough, taken in, con
nection with our availabls supply o
wood. The total amount of mer
chantable timber in the United
States is believed to be less thar
2. 600 billion feet. II the demand
could be kept stationary, and nc
timber were burned up by forest
6res we should have twenty years
from now only what our forests have
grown in the interval.
The policy of the government in
creating national forests In the west,
taken in connection with the favor

ditions for the growth of trees, in
sures future supply which will be
greatly to the vests advantage
When the inevitable time of timber
shortage arrives, the cost of trans
portation in the long haul across
the continent will aid the west in
supplying its own needs first. The
national forests must be first OF all
for the supply Of western needs
The east had originally the bulk of
the country's forests. 1t has largely
wasted them. The west has now q
considerable provision for the future.
The presence of the national forests
will insure for all time permanent
supply of material for wood-using
industries in the west, although the
actual holdings of the federal gov
ernmenl in themselves are by no
means sufficient to furnish all the
timber which will be needed. They
will also have an influence in en-
couraging private holdings of timber
lands to take care of them in a way
that will keep them in productive
state. The question what to do for
timber that cannot be mad in needed
quantities is likely to become acute
in the east.
