Paper Men Plan to Preserve
Forests.
International Company Decides 10 Follow
Suggestions Of Conservation
Commission

The International Paper Company
has declared its intention = become
a pioneer IN the preservation 81 the
country's forests to insure the supply
Oi pulp wood. Action t. ret the n
noYati0n in motion viii be taken at
the next meeting of the Board 81
Directors, to be held soon. Tniscytn-
pany, which owns about 900,0 DOG acres
Of timber land, intends to use tHe
methods advocated by the conserYa-
ton convention just closed, especially
that Of limiting the cutting to the a
mount Of the annual growth.
Two OF the company's officials,
Chester W. Lyman and &. II. Griffing,
were IN conference lately with Clifford
Pinchot, chief Of the government
forestry service, with the object of
obtaining suggestions for this and
other forestry methods suggested by
the conservation convention.
Tine international Paper Com
pany,' Mr. Lyman said, as for some
years been operating it, lands in the
| United states with view to preserY-
ing them as perpetual source Of sup
ply for pulp wood. We hereafter
purpose TO limit cutting of timber on
Nui ldhdS " tile amount OF the annual
growth. By judicious tree planting
On burned over aud waste tands it is
hoped to ultimately increase the Yield
or crop that may be removed an
nuaIlY. the presence OF small growth
On the lands at present bearing the
timber renders general tree planting
unnecessary, as the young trees will
replace those cut. No trees will be
cut which are below the diameter
specified by trained forester5."
This, ii was explained, averages
twelve inches in diameter, but does
not necessarily mean that all trees
must be left standing under this meas
urement, as it often occurs that ad
vantage Is given TO younger trees in
growth when the older trees are re-
moved. Destruction OF forests by
fire was aiso q discussed at the confer
ence with Mr. PinchOt.
The land owned by the company IS
as follows:-New York, 100000 acres:
Maine, 424, 000 acres, New lamp hire,
l50,O 00 acres, and Vermont. $1,000
acres.

in many instances the taxes assessed

DANGER OF cATARRH.
Unless Properly Treated With
Hyomei, tho Disease Becomes
Serious.

Catarrhal troubles are far more
dangerous than they seem at first
thought.
If you have catarrh. there is an
irritated state of the mucous MEM
brane and weakened tissues which
afford an ideal lodgment and culture
medium for disease germs, especially
those of consumption.
You should get cured as quickly as
possible before any dangerous germs
that you may breathe lodge on the
diseased tissue and work destruction
in the throat and lungs.
The easiest, simplest, quickest,
surest and cheapest way to cure
catarrh is by the direct method.
breathing Hyomei. This wonderful
medicated air treatment does not drug
and !derange the stomach, but is
breathed in. directly following and
destroying all disease germs that
may have been inhaled, and healing
and vitalizing the tissues of the
throat. nose and lungs so as to render
catarrh and all other germ infections
no longer possible.
The unusual way in which Hyome
is sold by Bowditch, Webster &. Co.
is the best evidence of their confidence
in the treatment and should dispel all
doubt as TO its curative properties.
They agree to refund the purchase
price to anyone whom Hyomei fails to
benefit, and YOU do not risk a cent in
testing it's healing virtues. 4 complete
outfit costs but $1.60 if it helps you.
