Resources of Country
Wasted, Says Carnegie;
BegS for Quick Reform

The conservation OF ores and related
minerals was the topic of Andrew car
negte- Mr., Carnegie read a wealth OF
figures to show the alarming rate at
which the mineral supply of the country
is being wasted and depleted. In re-
viewing these statistics. he spoke, in
part, as follows:
IN view of tie SOLDERING facts pre-
sented, the thoughtful man is forced TO
realize, first, that our production and
consumption Of minerals are increasing
much more rapidly than our population;
and. second, that our methods are so
faulty and extravagant that the avei-
age waste is very great, and in coal al
most as great as the amount consumed
The serious loss of life In the mines is
a feature that can no longer he over
looked. Nor. can we fail to realize that
the most useful minerals will shortly
become scarce, and may soon reach pro-
hibitive cost unless steps 70 lessen
waste are taken in the interest of the
future.
Il have for many years been i'm
pressed with the steady depletion of our
iron ore supply. 1t is staggering 10
learn that our once supposed ample sup
ply Of rich ores can hardly outlsst the
generation now appearing, leaving only
the leaner ores for the later years OF
the century. II Is my judgment, as a
practical man accustomed 10 dealing
with those material factors on which
our national prosperity is based, that II
is time to take thought for he morrow.
/ fully concur in the opinion OF the
President that the state of our re-
sources raises one Of the most serious
issues now before the American people,

The ingredients are inexpensive and can be purchased without trouble at any good drug store. To avoid substi- tuition of some inferior pine product for the Virgin oil of Pine, 1t is better to purchase each separately and mix them at home.
 The genuine Virgin oil of Pine Is put up for dispensing, only in 1k-ounee vials, each vial securely sealed in a round wooden case with an engraved wrapper showing plainly the name-Virgin oil of Pine compound pure. guaranteed under the food and drugs act of June 90. 1906. Serial No. 451, prepared only by Leach Chemical Co.,. Cincinnati, O. Be sure to get the genuine, as the oil sold in bulk and cheap limitations put out to resemble Virgin Oil of Pine in name and style of package are ineffective, being largely composed of distillation of pine needles, or leaves, instead of from the pine tree proper.
 These pine needle oils are not intended for internal use. and when taken inter- nally usually cause nausea. Their use is mainly confined to the manufacture of soap and similar purposes.

sons into such house or place at an un- lawful hour and contrary to law" as declared by this act of August ?, 1907. (Acts, page 319.)
 The specific. acts enumerated In sec- tion 1 of the act (page 31S) are "un- lawful" and are unlawful in. such sense as that each class of acts therein de- clared are subject to indictment.
 Surely you will do no less than take the statutes declaring a certain act or set of acts unlawful and prescribing a form of the indictment to be returned by grand jury in such cases and leave for another jury and the court ques- tions of punishment.
 Are there other provisions of the law that would punish such unlawful acts as that of which you inquire?
 Section 4652 of the code of 1S96, un- der the chapter "Definitions-Felonies and Misdemeanors Defined" is a s fol- lows A felony, within the meaning of this code. is public offense, which may be punished by death, or by imprison- ment in the penitentiary; all other public offenses are called misdemean- ars"
 Section 5414 of the same code. under "Punishments," is as follows
 'Mlsdemeanors for which no special punish ment has been provided:' Any person who commits a public offense. which is a misdemeanor at common law, or by statute and that punish ment of which is not particularly spe- ciied in this code, must on conviction. be fined not more than $500, or many also be imprisoned in the county jail or sentenced to hard labor for the coun- ty for not more than six months"
 Believing that you will take and execute the law as you find it, in any statute, leaving it's construction to the court, and regrettng my inability to come and speak with you as court. the reply to your question, l hand the same to you by the Hon. Horace Rood. the sheriff of Montgomery county. Also, l am, sincerely
