FENCE POSTS MADE DURABLE

Fence posts OF many kinds of
cheap woods which ordinarily wo'd
soon decay II set in the ground
can be made to last for 20
Years by Il simple treatment with
crcosotc. Most of the co-called
"lnfcrlor' woods arc we'll adapt
ed to the treatment, and this is
especially true of cottonwood,
aspen, willow sycamore, low
Grade pines. and some of the gums.
When properly treated. these
woods ontlast nntrcated cedar and
oak. which arc becoming too
scarce and too much in demand
tor other uses to allow of their
meeting the demand for fence
posts.
imprcgnation with creosote has
been greatly chcapcne,l by the in
PRODUCTION of the ''opcn tank"
which can be installed at cost of
from $50 TO Sl5, or much less if
an old boiler is used. A tank
with Il bottom ~ square feet in
area will suffice for treating 40 or.
30 '-lnch posts day, or double
TINS number when two runs per
day can be made. The absorption
OF creosotc per post is about as
follows: Eucalyptus, one-tenth
gallon; willow, two-tcnths gallon;
sassafras. ash. hickory. red oak.
water oak. elm and maple, four
tcnths gallon; Douglas fir, quaking
aspen, and black walnut, six
irnths gallon. sycamore, cotton-
wood, and lodgcpole pine, seven
tcnths gallon. The price of creo-
sote IS about 10 cents per gallon
in the East and Middle West, 16
cents per gallon on the Pacific
coast, and u cents per gallon in
the Rocky Mountain States. The
cost OF treating post will there
tore vary from 4 to Is cents.
Properly treated, it should give
service for at least twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest
service show that with preserya-
tive treatment the durability of
lodgcpolc pine in Idaho is increas-
ed sixteen years. The cost of ere.
osote is there relatively high, vet
by treating posts there is saving.
with interest at 6 per cent. of 2
cents per post yearly. More i'm
portant than the saving, however,
IS the fact that through prescrva-
tive treatment other woods are
fitted to take the place of cedar. of
Of which the supply is rapidly be-
comnilng exhausted. \ detailed
description of experiments in
preserving fence posts. together
with practical suggestions for
treating them on commercial
scale, are contained in Circular
ll1 OF the Forest Service. This
publication can he obtained ,!upon
Application to the Forest at

IngersoII's Widow Makes Un-
usual Appeal.

An appraisal Of the value of the elo-
quence of the late Colonel Robert c.
Ingersoll was. asked OF the Supreme
Court of the United States by his
widow. Mrs. Eva A. Ingersoll, as ad-
ministratrix of his estate. Mrs. Inger-
soil has undertaken to collect S95, 0C9
alleged to be due for the services the
famous orator rendered some Of the
heirs of the late multi-millionaire min
ing king of Montana Andrew j.
Davis, in attempting to break a will
he is purported to have left. So far
she has been able TO get only 1000
from them.
Davis, a native of Connecticut, and
later a resident of Iowa. made for
tune estimated at Sc, 500, 000 in mines
in Montana, where he died in 1890. Al
though he had eleven brothers and sis
ters after his death a will was offered
in probate IN Montana by one of the
brothers. John A. Davis, of Butte,
the other heirs retained Colonel Inger-
soil to break the will. They promised
so give him 100000 in case the will
was set aside. The jury was discharged,
and later the heirs compromised. For
years the claim has drag ged along.
Mrs. Ingersoll now turns to the
Supreme Court, where arguments were
made.

Verdict for DIR. Pierce
AGAINST THE
LADIES' Home Journal.


Sending truth after a lie. 1t is an old
maxim. that "a lie will travel seven
leagues while truth is getting its boots
on" and no doubt hundreds of thousands
of good people read the unwarranted aRld
malicious attack upon DR.. L. V. Pierce
and his Favorite Prescription published
in the May Q9O4 number of the Ladies'
Home Journal, with its great black dis
play headings who never saw the hum
bic, groveling retraction. with it's incon-
spicuous heading, published two months
later. Itwas boldly charged in the sland-
erouS and libelous article that DR.. Pierce's
FavOrte Prescription, for the cure Of
wOman's weaknesses and ailments, con-
tanned alcohol and other harmful ingrcdi-
entS. DR.. Pierce promptly brought suit
against the publishers of the Ladies'
Home Journal, for $500, 10000 damages.
DIR. Pierce alleged that Mr.. Box, the
editor, maliciously published the article
containing such false and defamatory
matter witty the intent of injuring his
busineSS<1 furthermore. that no>alcohol, or
other sYjnrious. or habit-forming, drugs
are, or %Ver were, contained in his va

These facts were also proven in the trial OF
the action in the Supreme Court. But the
business Of DIR. Pierce was greatly injured by
the publication of the libelouS article with
its great display headings. while hundreds OF
thousands who read the wickedly defamatory
article never saw the humble groveling re-
traction. set In small type and made as incon-
spicuous as possible. The matter was how
