Apples Are Food and Medicine

Apples should be part Of the diet of
every man, woman and child. They
are not only healthful food, but also
excellent medicine. Apples contain
from 7 to 8 per cent invert sugar,
which is an essential requirement Of
food for the human system.
Apart from the sugar value of apples,
there is another benefit that should be
common knowledge - their laxative
effect. Apples do not act as actual
purgatives. Their mildly laxative
effect is due largely to the presence of
cellulose, woody fiber. This cellulose
is little, if any, absorbed into the sys-
TEN, but its presence in the intestines
acts as a mechanical irritant or stimu-
liant. Apples, therefore, should be
literally supplied in all dietaries where
laxative effects are desired.

"BiG BOYS" HAVE A CHANCE
Huge Specimens of Apples to Be Shown in
Pyramids at the Apple Show

Apples of enormous size will be on
exhibition this year. The Wolf River,
Spokane Beauty, Twenty Ounce Pip
pin. and others will compete in a
class specially arranged. These exhibits
will be prepared in pyramid shape, fifty
apples to the pyramid. Weight alone
will determine the award. While the
commercial value of huge apples is not
so good as for the usual 81, a and
~ tier box, yet from show stand
point the big apple always appeals, and
the novelty OF a stack of the big
boys" makes an impression. With this
in mind, the National Apple Show
offers 800 as first prize and $25 as
second prize for the heaviest pyramid,
fifty apples in pyramid, any variety,
grown anywhere in the world. Addi-
tional prizes will be announced later in
this contest.
The Delamothe Natural Art Decorat-
ing Company of Spokane proposes a
novelty prize in this class by offering
to metallic the largest single specimen
of any apple shown, making the fruit a
permanent metalized prize, with the
name OF the winner engraved thereon.

DRAINS FOR NATIONS FORESTS
Arguments for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Be-
ing Cut Three Times as Fast
as They Are Growing

The total yearly drain upon our
forests, not counting losses from fires,
storms and insects, is some twenty bill
lion cubic feet" says r. S. Kellogg,
assistant forester in charge OF the office
of forest statistics, in publication just
issued by the Forest Service on The
Timber Supply of the United States. a"
Our present forest area of $50 mil
lion acres may be roughly estimated to
consist of 200 million acres Of mature
forests, in which the annual growth is
balanced by death and decay, of ESQ
million acres partially cut or burned
over, on which, with reasonable care,
there is sufficient young growth to pro-
duce in the course of time merchant
able, but not full crop of timber, and
100 million acres of more severely cut
and burned over forests, on which
there is not sufficient young growth to
produce another crop Of much value.
Taken as whole, the annual
growth of our forests under these con-
ditions does not exceed twelve cubic
feet per acre, total of less than seven
billion cubic feet. That is, we are
cutting our forests three times as fast
as they are growing. There is menace
in the continuance of such conditions.
While we might never reach absolute
timber exhaustion, the unrestricted ex-
ploitation of our forests in the past has
already had serious effects, and it will
have much worse if it is allowed to
continue unchecked.
White pine, for instance, which
was once considered inexhaustible, has
fallen off seventy per cent in cut
since 1890, and more than forty
five per cent since 1900. The
cut of oak, our most valuable hardwood
lumber, has decreased sixteen per
cent since 1900, and that of yellow
poplar twenty-five per cent. The same
story will be told of other woods if they
are not conserved.
THE fact that timber has been
cheap and abundant has made US care
less of its production and reckless in
its use. We take ESQ cubic feet of
wood per capita annually from our
forests, while Germany uses only thirty
seven cubic feet, and France but
twenty-five. On the other hand, Ger
many, who has learned her lesson,
makes her state forests produce an av-
erage OF forty-eight cubic feet of wood
per acre. We have as fast-growing
species as Germany, or faster, and as
good or better forest soil if we pro-
tect it.
The necessity for more farm land
may eventually reduce our total forest
area to 100 million acres less than it is
at present. 1t is entirely possible,
however, to produce on $50 million
acres as much wood as population
much greater than we have now will
need if the forest land is brought to its
highest producing capacity and if the
product is economically and com
pletely utilized. But to reach the
necessary condition of equilibrium be-
tween timber production and consump-
ton will take many years of vigorous
effort by individual forest owners, by
the states, and by the National Govern
ment. None OF them can solve the
problem alone; all must work together"

Health Officer ]. Nywening of North
Yakima believes the epidemic now af-
fecting the hogs of the Yakima valley
is typhoid fever, and to protect the
health of the people he issued strict
order that no pork be sold by any of
the butcher shops of North Yakima for
a period of ten days. All citizens are
urged not to eat pork in any form.
Health Officer Nywening and Deputy
State Inspector Adams examined six
hogs that were slaughtered and found
the germs to closely resemble typhoid
germs. Reports from outlying districts
show that the epidemic is on the in
crease. So far the disease has been
confined entirely to hogs.

BIG FIRE PREVENTED
BY BUCKET BRIGADE
HOTEL AT MONR0VIA BURNS;
LOSS NOT LARGE
Blaze Starts in Kitchen of Hostelry,
Which Has Not Been Open for
Some Time-Origin Is
Mysterious

MONROVIA, June 20-A small blaze
in the Hotel Scotia in Monrovia Sat
urday evening might have resulted Sc
riously but for the lack of wind and
strenuous efforts made by few per-
sons armed with buckets of water
Some slight difficulty was encoun-
tered in getting the fire department to
the flames. Half a dozen telephone
calls proved futile, but a member of
the department was finally located.
More time was consumed in extracting
the reel of hose from the labyrinth of
carriages in Bakers livery. When ii
had been drawn to the fire, few
blocks distant, no wrench could be pro-
cured to open the fire plug. A boy was
dispatched to the city hall in the hope
of procuring the wrench before the
hotel was entirely consumed. In the
meantime the fire, which had burned
but slowly, was being kept partially
in check by the efforts of bucket
brigade. An automobile arrived, but
the auto wrench would not fit the plug
because of a pentagonal nut. The
wrench belonging to the fire depart
ment was finally located, and owing
to the splendid water pressure and the
good work of the firemen the building
was saved.
The hotel had been closed for some
time and it is not known how the fire,
which started in the kitchen, orig
mated. More damage was done by
water than by flames. The loss,
amounting to a few hundred dollars,
was fully covered by insurance

WATER MAINS SOON MUST BE
RELAID IN SAN BERNARDINO

SAN BERNARDINO, June 20.-That
within short time it will be necessary
for the city to entirely replace the water
mains is apparent from the fragile con-
dition of the pipe on Fourth street
which is now exposed to view, indicat-
ing the main is about to drop to pieces.
In laying the new siX-inch, castiron
main the old pipe was uncovered, and
as the soil was scraped from around +
in many places leaks developed which
had been held simply for an accumula-
tion of rust. 1t was necessary to re-
pair the leaks as they We're disclosed,
otherwise the trench would have been
flooded. making it impossible to lay the
new main.
The condition of the mains is the
same over the entire system, which was
established during the infancy of the
city. Pipes in a number of streets have
been relaid since with heavier and bet
ter pipe, but in some of the thorough
fares the mains are on the verge of
giving way. In repairing leaks by
placing clamps around the pipes other
leaks have developed by the breaking
of the pipe where the clamp was placed

MONROVIA, June 20-A Los Ange-
les daily newspaper printed the state
ment this morning that during the past
twenty-four hours 700 or 800 of the
population of MonroVia were attacked
with a sickness that indicated a whole
sale poisoning of some source of food
supply. The paper attributed this
wholesale sickness to either berries or
lettuce. probably purchased in some
Los Angeles market. 1t further con-
tinued that DIR. Adams, the local health
officer, was on a vacation trip, and the
members of the board of health-Dr.
Browning, DR.. Davies and H. NJ. Slem-
mons, had all been out of town during
the day. The article concluded with
1.-The doctors are prospecting, thank
you'll"
The foregoing statement has been
branded by every local physician as
being false in nearly every particular.
While it is true that several cases of
acute gastritis have come to the notice
of the physicians, nothing of a serious
nature has developed, the cases not eX-
ceeding fifty in number.
DR.. B. c. Davies, one of Monrovia's
leading physicians, attributes the sick
ness to climatic conditions. He stated
that nearly every town throughout the
san NTaD1le1 valley IdQ DeGIl Slililldi ~
afflicted, the cases having been espe-
cially numerous in Redlands and River
side Some few have also been noticed
in Pasadena. A sample of the local
water was analysed in Los Angeles and
no impurities were discovered Jack
Crandall yesterday made an extensive
examination of the water sources in
Salt Pit canyon and found everything
to be in excellent condition
DIR. c. c. Browning of the Pottenger
sanatorum conducted an investigation
along similar lines and discovered moth
ing out of the way.
Dr. B. c. Davies, who was reported as
being out of town, spent the day in
making a thorough investigation of the
local berry districts and discovered
nothing which would indicate that the
fruit was in any way responsible for
the poisoning. Hal Slemmons, the re-
naming member of the board of health
which was reported as not being on
duty, is assistant engineer of the Los
Angeles county highway commission,
and has an office in Los Angeles.
DIR. Davies said that he had not been
called on more than three cases and in
every instance the patient was a child.
Many of the persons afflicted had not
eaten either berries or lettuce during
the season and several who have ex-
perienced the sickness had drunk moth
ing but boiled water. No serious effects
are anticipated.

SERIOUS MOTOR CAR ACCIDENT

SAN BERNARDINO, June 20.-The
broken front wheel of big touring car
undergoing repairs in local garage is
significant of a serious accident which
was narrowly averted in this city, in
which the lives of both H. e. Hunting
ton, president of the Pacific Electric
railway and President Garnsey of the
Los Angeles Redondo railway of Los
Angeles was endangered.
While the railway magnates were re-
turning to Copia ranch above this city,
recently purchased by Mr.. Garnsey and
which he has converted into country
home, the steering gear of the big auto
mobile owned by Mr.. Garnsey, While
the car was running at high rate of
speed at the intersections of Fifteenth
and d streets, broke. The left wheel
swerved and caught in the guard. The
machine continued it's course, collid1ng
with telegraph pole. Fortunately,
however, due to the cool nerve or the
chauffeur the speed of the automobile
had been sufficiently slackened petore
the collision, and with the exception of
a broken wheel little damage was done.

fruit. By the end of the week it is
expected that all will be in operation
The crop promises to be about average,
the total being estimated at 1000 tons
OF this the Young drier at Redlands
Junction will handle 800 tons, the
Gregory drier at Redlands $50 tons
and the balance divided with smaller
driers. The fruit is of fine quality and
is ripening rapidly.
The city trustees of Redlands have
been asked to adopt an ordinance max
ing it a misdemeanor for persons to
drive on the left side of the street.
Autoists are behind the movement. The
matter will be considered by the trus-
tees at the next meeting.
The city trustees have decided to
abandon the city hall project on West
State street because of the opposition
of persons favoring a site on Vine

and the bond issue probably will be
for $4,000, of which 100000 will be for
a city hall and $4,000 for additional
fire protection.
One packing house in Redlands, the
Golden Orange associations Mentone
house. has completed the packing of
fruit for the season and closed down.
Redlands has a large crop of valencias
