1926 the Spaniards were driven out

congress at Lima, formally resigned
the dictatorship. Soon after that the
southern part of Peru was erected
into a separate state and named Bo-

Cuticura Proved a Great Success.

Eczema began over the top of my

spread. I had three different doctors
and tried several things, but they did
me no good. At last one side of my
face and my neck were raw. The
water ran out of it so that had to
wear medicated cotton, and it was so
inflamed and sore that I had to put
a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep
the water from it, and it would stain

the exhaustion of this remaining viz
gin supply, which can last only about
20 years more, there must come time
when not only all our exports OF tlm'
Der must cease, but there will not be
enough wood for home consumption.
Even as it is, the total exports OF
wood from this country amount to only
five per cent. of the lumber cut, While
the surplus of exports over imports is
only 18 per cent.-an insignificant
amount. This shows clearly that we
have practically ceased to be an ex.
porting country and the tendency will
be more and more toward becoming
wood-importing country.
How shall this shortage be met?

mother of labor and the father of all
products necessary to sustain human life
The richness and prosperity of a country,
therefore, depend on the presence of nat
ural resources within its borders, such as
water minerals, forests and cultivable soils
on the one hand, and intelligent human en-
ergy on the other to shape them into the
forms necessary for the needs of man. Or
the two elements the natural resources are
indispensable. for in a country like the des-
ert OF Sahara all human effort would be
of buS little avail The growth of nation
depends, therefore, upon the extent of the
natural resources and upon the knowledge
of how to use them with as little destruc-
ton IS possible.
The resources of a country fall natu-
rally into three groups-water minerals
and land-which represent, respectively, re-
sources which are inexhaustible, resources
which are eXhaustibe and cannot be re-
newed, and resources which are exhaust
ible but can be renewed. 1t may be ques-
toned, indeed, whether there is such a
thing as an inexhaustible natural resource.
Even water, through the denudation of the
drainage basins, may become irregular in
its flow, or through the careless disposal
of refuse may become polluted so that it
cannot be used. Mines are Illustrations of
resources which are exhaustible and not
renewable. Gas, oil, coal and iron once

gone are gone forever.
Of all the natural resources the
only one which contains within itself
the possibility of infinite renewal is
land. The nation should therefore be
most vitality concerned with the con-
servation and improvement of this re-
source. Human control over such nat
ural resources as minerals is limited.
The only possible means of conserva-
ton is the avoidance of waste. but
their ultimate exhaustion is unavoid-
able. With agricultural and forest
land, however, it is otherwise. Land
can not only be conserved, but con-
stantly improved and its yield in
creased. While in England the iron
ores and the coal are becoming con-
stantly harder to get and their ex-
haustion is threatened, the agricultural

ton, is now more productive than ever
