walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and crcdtable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

OUR HARDWOOD FORESTS.
Only Limited Area to Supply the Con-
stantly Growing Demand.

1t will be remembered that there are
no hardwoods on the Pacific coast. En-
cept in a comparatively small area in
southeastern Missouri and Arkansas the
hardwoods are not known west of the
Mississippi river, while in the states
north of the Ohio, where oak was former
ly abundant, there is none remaining
today. In fact the principal source of
supply for these woods is the very linn
tied area in the higher mountains Of
western North Carolina, part of Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, eastern Tennessee
and southeastern Kentucky, while from
fifty times this entire area in the remain
ing states of the Union the demand is
constantly increasing.
Forest conditions in the Cumberland
mountains are far better than in other
portions Of the United States. The
rainfall is ample to secure most rapid
growths. The soil has not been eroded
to such an extent as to make renewals
difficult.
An abundance of low growing shrub
and heritage keep the soil cool and
moist and maintain soil fertility, while
much of the region contains n fine stand
Of the more valuable oaks, hickories,
poplar, hcmlock and walnut. The latter
can be quickly secured by supplying the
seed.-Arburculture.

His Capacitv.

'The late Ira -. Sankey," said a vet

me i'll Philadelphia During the dinner
he looked about the restaurant, where
every table was covered with glasses of
white or red wine, and he said:
There IS n man drinking n whole
bottle, Il full quart. of champagne. II is
amazing what capacity for liquor some
men possess. And the man with large
capacity is actually proud Of it! Gould
anything be more foolish. more sinful"
Then, with a chuclile, Mr. Sankey
told me about Il beggar he had once
helped
THE beggar had red nose. and Mr.
Sankey game him 20 cents, saying at the
same time:
Mind you, now, don't get drunk ON

The beggar laughed.

Removing Fish Odor.

One Of the exasperating problems Q
careful housewife has to deal with Is
removing the odor Of fish from silver
Cooking utensils also retain this odor
in a most tenacious way. Washing with
soap and water is Of no avail. Here is
reliable remedy: Stick knives and
forks into pot of fresh earth and lei
them remain for about half an hour
If a frying pan or the kettle gives out
the fish odor scatter them thickly with
fresh earth.

Farm Fowls.

fowls on the farm should In the very
nature of things be the most profitable
Of all fowls. They cost little to feed
and the space they range over costs no
more on account Of the presence of the
fowls. Most Of them have free range
and forage for their food ; this Is profit
able for the owner and enjoyable to the
fowls.
Most farm nockS are too small. They
might easily be increased in size with
little effort and small expenditure. 1t
has been said that Il fowl will pay IA
dollar Il year clear profit under such
conditions as prevail on the average
farm if they are rightly housed and
cared for. This is surely large enough
Il profit to be interesting to any farmer.
Usually the farm fowls do not get cred.
1t for all they really do, for the farmer
seldom figures in the eggs and other
poultry products used by his own fam
lily, which make quite an item in the
course of year
Not only the quantity should be in
creased, but also the quality. There are
vastly greater possibilities for profit in
pure-brcd fowls than in scrubs. They
look better. weigh and lay better. and
really are better in every way.-Agri-

New Drug, Poslnm, Now Obtainablc in
Small Quantities..

Since its discovery one year ago, the
new drug. poslam. has successfully.
cured thousands of chronic cases Of
eczema and other distressing skin af-
hlctions. Heretofore posiam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit of ec-
zema patients in large jars Insufficient
for months treatment. This was
found to be an Inconvenience to many
thousands who use it for minor skin
troubles, such as pimples, blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion
blemishes, itching feet piles, etc.,
which require but a small quantity to
cure. To overcome this and in re-
Spouse to urgent appeals the dispensers
of poslam have been obliged to adopt,
in addition to the regular two-dollar
package, a special tlfty-cent size, which
in future may be found on sale at
Tragles and other leading drug stores
in Richmond, or may be ordered direct
from the Emergency laboratories, No.
80 West 25th Street, New York City.
In all eczema cases poslam stops Itch
ing with first application, and proceeds
to heal Immediately; chronic cases be-
ing cured in two weeks. In less Sc
rous skin troubles. results arc seen af-
ter an overnight application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free Of charge. by
