Conservation of Forest Resources.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 20. That
the lumbermen of the country who are
engaged in the manufacture and distri-
button of forest products are interest
ed in the work of the government in
conserving the natural resources of the
United States was evidenced at the re-
cent annual meeting of the National
! Wholesale Lumber Dealers AsSocia-
ton in Washington, d. G., when more
time was given up to the question of
forestry than to any other topic that
came up before the convention. This
association takes in approximately 400
of the wholesale lumbermen from all
parts of the country and what they had
to say about the practical value of for
estry is naturally of much public inter-
est.
The secretary of the association in
his annual report recommended that
the wholesalers as a body should en-
courage in every way the study of for
estry as part of the regular curricu-
lum of the public schools. A report
also was received from the delegate
appointed TO attend the congressional
hearing to urge the taking of a census
of the standing timber. The report,
which pointed out the absolute neces
sity of determining accurately the
amount of timber in the country and
which carried with it an endorsement
of the project, was adopted without a
dissenting voice. The deep interest of
the lumbermen in the matter of fores-
try was again manifested when the pro-
gram of the meeting was extended to
permit of the calling upon representa-
tives of the Forest Service to address
the meeting.
The attitude of the lumbermen
toward forestry was aptIy described
during the meeting by wholesaler
who said: 'Lumbermen are not inter
ested in forestry or the work of the
Forest Service on any theoretical
grounds, but we look upon forestry as
a business proposition solely and what
it will return to us in dollars and cents,
We all realize that the available supply
of timber is becoming smaller and
smaller each year and that if we are to
continue in business we must conserve
the supply. When first began bust
| ness many years ago we got our white
pine and hemlOck from Pennsylvania
exclusively to distribute in the eastern
markets. Today practically all our
| white pine comes from Michigan and
Minnesota and our hemlock from West
Virginia and adjoining States. In a
comparatively few years at the present
rate of cutting we will have to go still
further for our supplies and even sub
stitutes and at the same time lumber
will cost us considerably more, and the
consumer will have to pay the price,

FOLLOWERS GIVE
REASON FOR THEIR BELIEF

With theory that human health is de-
pendent on the stomach and with medi.
cine which he says proves this theory, L. T
Cooper, a comparatively young man, has
built up an immense following during the
past year.
Cooper has visited most of the leading
cities of the country, and in each city has
aroused storm of discussion about his
beliefs and his medicines. Wherever he
has gone, people have called upon him by
tens of thousands, and his preparation has
sold in immense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now spread
over the entire country, and is growing
enormously each day. In view Of this. the
following statements from two of the great
number of followers which he now has, are
of general interest.
Louis Avenue, Chicago, has the following
to say on the subject of the Cooper prepara-
tions: "FOr more than ten years l was
broken down in health. I could not sleep
and was very nervous. Gradually 1 be-

SIMPLE HOME REMEDY.
Molasses, Olive Oil and AnOdyne Cures
the Worst Colds.

At this season of the year, when a
cold on the lungs is SO liable to de-
velop into fatal pneumonia, 1t is worth
while to know of a simple prescription
that has been used successfully for
years in curing colds and preventing
pneumonia. Most of the ingredients
are in every home or can be obtained
at trifling cost.
Mix well together four tablespoons
full of molasses or honey and one table
spoonful each of olive oil and Anodyne.
At short intervals take teaspoonful
of the mixture, and also apply the
Anodyne externally on the throat and
chest.

the golden egg over again. The forests
are a valuable asset to the State of
Maine, not only for the timber they
grow, but also for the support they
give to other industries and the money
they bring in through the expenditures
OF sportsmen and tourists. Putting a
disguised bounty on cutting them off
will, in the opinion of forestry experts,
lower the tax-paying power of the State
and throw heavier burden on the very
persons who are hoping to decrease
their present taxes by making the wild
lands pay more. The farmer who is
dscontented because woodlands are
assessed so low should remember that
he does not himself pay taxes on stand
ing crops, that half loaf is better than
no bread, and that it is better for man
to look before he leaps than to find too
late that he has landed in hole.
