Ottumwa, July "a coarse speci-
men Of the so-called practical joker
had his fling at the expense of
heartbroken mother when Mrs. Lizzie
Rood, an emp.oye of a local restaurant,
was told that her little son had just
died suddenly at the hospital during an
operation, while in fact the child was
not under an operation during the day
at any time. The excitement and an
noyance caused by the telling of such
a story had the hospital authorities
and the Western Union Telegraph
Company in a state OF turmoil for
time in trying to recall message sent
by the distracted mother.
The practical Joker knew that Mrs.
Rood's little son Hiram Conway. was
in the hospital and he wanted to see
how the news of the chlld's death
would affect the mother According
ly, while the mothe' was at her regu-
lar work in the downtown restaurant,
she was driven b distraction When
the practical joke told her that dur
ing the morning two young doctors
who we'e inexperienced, had oper-
ated on her yong son, had cut an
artery, and the little chap died just
a few minutes tfore.
Distracted by he awful story, the
mother dropped ner work and nearly
swoonAd. Rallmg. She Immediately
ran u the teleraph office and dis
patched a messse to her father, Peter
HibsI at Seynur telling him the
child had die and that she would

Big Profit in Public Forests.

! In view of the general interest in
municipal or communal forests, as adj
Vncated in this country by the Am
erican Civic Association, the report OBJ
tanned by S. B. Elliott of the Pennsyl-
vania forestry reserve commission
concerning the practical value Of such
woodlands in Germany Is a remark
able document. This shows the actual
profits obtainable from public for
ests.
There are 1,342.944 acres of forests
in Baden, which state has total area
OF 3.726,S55 acres. OF the wooded lands,
577.465 is owned by communities and
corporations. In Baden 1880 of the t.
be4 communities have forests, and in
addition 2s7 schools. churches, hospi-
tails and other similar corporations are
engaged in practical forestry. From
these public forests there are allowed
to be cut yearly 2s1,724,So0 board feet
OF timber, which has value of So
100000 free Of expense Of cutting.
AS an instance Of the communal for
ests, the city Of Baden has 1886 acres,
the. income from which is $1Oo,471, as
against an outlay Of s33,391, so that
the net profit is s66,0S0, or approx
mately 1925 an acre. In Frieburg the
forests cover S,0S5 acres, representing
a total income Of sS4,16s, with an out
lay Of s37,330, or a profit Of s46,s3s, or
1919 an acre. In Heidelberg the forests
cover $3.50 acres. The income is $3s,-
1874 and the outlay s27.199. showing a
net profit of s12.s35. Heidelberg still is
acquiring land, and that expense nee
essarily reduces its net income.
| In the village of Braunlingen, which
has 1,601 Inhabitants and 4,507 acres
of forests, there is an allowance to the
citizens OF flrewood and 100000 board
feet of lumber is given to churches
schools, and other public institutions.
From the timber sold the net income is
s21 500, and Braunlingen not only is
free from all communal taxes, but is
enabled to establish electric plants,
water works and other public improve
ments.
Even in the village Of Aufen, with
only 220 Inhabitants, there Is 1853 acres
of timber lands. This gives 1000 board
feet of firewood to each citizen, and
the $1,000 board feet of timber sold
nets more than s1.40O, which is suf-
fcient for all expenses Of the little
community.
These advantages Of public forests
could be multiplied to the number of
every community having them. Ac-
cording to the latest report the vari-
Gus German states having productive
communal forests are: Prussia, $780,
100 acres; Bavaria, 2,041,45 acres;
Wurtemburg, 4e6.203 acres; Alsace-
Lorraine. 373,417 acres; Baden (do-
mains). 23s.S9s acres; Hessia Estate
and domains), 1898 acres; Prussian
Crown, 165,4s2 acres, and Furstenberg,
74,492 acres.
In Hessia forests are being planted
upon land hitherto devoted to agricul-
|ture.

LACK OF BLOOD
A Source Of Great Danger to
Growing Girls.

What anBnia is, how to recognize it
and the value of the tonic treatment
with Dr.. Williams Pink Pills should be
known by the mother of every growing
girl.
An@mia is simply lack of blood
It Is one Of the most common and
dangerous diseases with which growing
girls suffer.
1t is common because the blood so
often becomes impoverished during de-
velopment, when girls are too frequently
allowed to overstudy, overwork and
suffer from lack of exercise. 1t is dam
eeous because of the stealthiness of its
approach, often being well developed
before its presence Is recognized, and
because Of It's tendency TO grow so steadi-
" worse, if not promptly checked, that
it may run into consumption.
The value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in all cases of anamia, is we'll shown in
the case of Miss Mabel Glenzer, of No.
1929 Cook avenue, Lakewood, Ohio.
my sickness began three years ago, "
she says, "and the doctor said it was
caused by my not having blood enough.
] had sharp shooting pains Though the
temples and back of the head aud my
legs ached. I had no appetite, did not
sleep well or rest at night and lost flesh
SO that weighed but 90 pounds. The
least exertion would cause faintine
spells of which 1 had three or four 6
week At times 1 grew dizzy.
1.-THE doctor treatment did not seen
to help me and he told some of my
friends that he thought I had quick
consumption and that there was nc
hope for me. had cough that LASTED
year.

gave them trial found relief while
taking the first box and that encouraged
me SO that kept on and was cured
Now 1 am living example Of tht
virtues of DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
These pills have also cured rheuma
tism, neuralgia, sick headaches, sto1n
ach trouble, and weakness in women.

GOOD TOBACCO NEWS.

The Kona Tobacco Cmpany has re-
ceived a bona fide offer from gilt
edge. eastern mandatory for all OF
its output of wrapper tobacco at $1.lO
pound. This is big money, and the
offer will be accepted. On the strength
of the big. lump sale at such salts
factory figures the surplus stock of
the $4,000 authorized has been snap
ped up, and there is no more treasury
stock of the company to be had.
This deal of the Kona Tobacco
Company for the sale OF it's product
makes clear the success of the tobac-
co industry. Much credit for develop
ing the industry is due to DR.. Jared
G. Smith, and it is probably matter
of general satisfaction that he should
reap the first reward from the new
enterprise.
