no others known to Re profession. Eta
Sarsaparilla compriS[ III that are of a>S &nown-
and-tested merit. and every one tIA' we use is
gathered at the season of its gr~4t st medicinal
value.
The wonderful power of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is due:
1, To its peculiar combination Of so many diff
feren. remedies;
2, To the peculiar process by which the full
curative strength of every one of them is ex-
tracted and retained; and
3, To the peculiar efect-purifying, appetite
giving and strength-building-th it has upon
90 out of every 100 persons who take it.
That it is an extraordinary medicine is fur
Their proved by its extraordinary record of cures.
Cures of s~crofula, eczema, psoriasis, boils, alb
scessss and all humors of the blood; cures of
rheumatism, the prostrating afterefeets of the
grip and diphtheria and other blood-poisoning
diseases; cures of bilious and d~yspeptie troubles,
loss Of appetite, and that tired feeling.
Just now-when weather changes have such
facilitating Effects the time TO take it.

on a ~Friday-the Moslem Sunday-it is
difficult to elbow your way through the
crowd of sellers and buyers. Clumsy, awk-
ward looking soldiers off duty lurch along
in an ungainly fashion or stand blocking
the way entirely, while one of their party
haggles over a cents worth of peanuts.
Prosperous, greasy black eunuchs in i'm
maculate European clothes saunter dis
painfully through the ragged, v~ariegated
throng, which pays them more Difference
and attention than il does to one of Euro
pean blood. Sometimes a couple of yelled
figures pick their way slowly to a clothes
stall, where they turn over everything, and
after much haggling and bargaining about
a particular article they finally depart with
out 1t, for the Joy of the Turkish womanI
as that of the woman in more civilized
is to shop. not necessarily TO buy.
One Amazon in Trousers.
Among the masculine crowd IT. one of
these courtyards is a short, broad-shoul-
dered Kurdish woman who sells Turkish
embroideries and homespun. She is an
Amazon in trousers and several w~ell-padded
coats. the outermost one OF which is bright
green, while the turban she wears partially
covers her weatherbeaten, wrinkled face.
Her appearance Is formidable indeed, and
she makes so strange and striking a pic
ture that a young American tried to snap
her with his camera last week as she stood
under her huge umbrella smoking a Gig
arctic.
But she spotted him at once and strongly
resented his impudence. Though he tried
to reassure her by signs and tell her that
he was only taking a picture of some dogs
in her vicinity she came at him with a
stick, at the same time calling upon a group
OF soldiers lettering near to come and drive
off the pig of a Christian. Not being suf-
f~iciently fluent in her language to be able
to reply to her volubie attack the American,
considering discretion to be the better part,
beat a somewhat hasty and undignified re-
treat behind some young softas religious

PROGRESS OF REFoREsTATIoN
Seven Thousand Trees
Planted by Forestry Service
in One Year.

The trees used in the national expert
ments in reforestation are grown at eight
government nurseries in the existing ma
tional forests out west. These eight stations
now contain over 100000 trees from 1 to
years old.
The preliminary stage Of forest planting
within the national forests is now past,
and several of the planting stations have
produced trees of sufficient size to plant
directly on the permanent site. About TO.-
900 trees were planted during the winter
and spring of 1907.
At the nursery in the Dismal River ma
tional forest more stock has reached an
age suitable for planting than at the other
stations. This nursery contains approx
mately 100000 trees.
Al present there are about 100000 trees
for planting in the hand hills. The species
largely in use up to this time are western
yellow pine and jack pine. Other species,
chiefly Scotch pine. Norway pine and
Douglas fir, are being tested in the nursery
and in experimental plantations.
The state forests of Saxony, comprising
$4,000 acres, are in charge Of a forestry
bureau at a yearly expense which averages
So for each acre, but such is the extent and
value of the timber and other products that
the net yearly revenue averages $3.50 an
acre after deducting all expenses. The APP
preparation of the United States for the
bureau of forestry is so insignificant that il

mosques presents a still buster scene. In
one part there is a market packed with
live stock, according to the ~eason-turkeys
for three Christmases (the Greek, Armen-
ian and European) and sheep for the feast
of Bairam, when every Moslem householder
is obliged TO kill an animal in commemora-
ton of the sacrifice of Abraham. In an
other part OF the yard, under a hundred
tentlike umbrellas, there are sellers of
gaudy plaids and brilliant sashes, such as
are worn by all the poorer class OF Turks,
rugs and prayer mats Of sail rhues and
shades, wooden overshoes, clogs and col
ored beads to ward off the evil eye.
Here cobblers are mending shoes for
men, who are obliged to SIT nursing one
foot while the clumsy patch is being put
on. There a row of fifteen or twenty shoe
blacks lean Iazily upon their brass covered
boxes, while one or two of their number
are at work upon the shoes of a whole
family, for many Turkish households send
out all the footwear to be cleaned. Travel
ing butchers and BARRIERS move from place
to place; the latter. perhaps from motives
of economy, use no soap for their opera
tions. giving what is known as a dry shave
to both the heads and faces OF their vic
tins.
Sale of Firearms.
You often hear it said that life is not
as safe now as in the days of espionage
under the old regime, for every man is
free to carry a revolver. And to meet this
new demand new trades have sprung up
like mushrooms within the last few weeks.
Side by side on the steps of the mosque
itself stand vendors OF cartridge belts and
cheap revolvers, each extolling his ~partlcu-
lar article. Beside them is a green-tur-
baned old quack who ~expounds the value
OF his infallible cure to an interested group,
declaring also hat a certain verse from
the Koran, which he sells printed on green
paper. will protect and safely deliver a man
from harm II carried by Inn.

Putting Up Portable Houses
at MeSSina for Survivors

government official. in fact, while engaged
in his work OF preparation left some OF
the streets in the future cities Of wocd for
the American houses and the bluejackets
from the Celtic are now setting them up.
Americans are ut Work.
The naval attache at Rome, Commander
Belknap and John Elliott. the painter. to-
gether with $50 carpenters engaged AT
Naples, are hard at work at Messina. Com
mandcr Belknap will not say how long 1t
will take to set up the 5000 portable houses
he has brought over. but they are hustling
and they hope that by the end Of the
month their work will be over.
They are working under great difficulties,
as the Americans have to unload the ships
carrying the houses and transport the
cargoes to the site where the houses are to
be set up. This in itself would be difficult
work in an ordinary port, but it is much
more so at Messina, where there are abso-
lutely no facilities for discharglng ships
and no means of transportation.
Besides the local authorities, however
grateful they may be for the gift of the
American houses, cannot overlook the fact
that II these houses are ready for use
within a month Of their arrival and hence
DtlVIt Aht" v AiG Oh6G u bhAAI a
proof will be afforded that American aid
is more effective than Italian and such
proof is apt to hurt national suceptibilities
1t follows that the Americans have to rely
on their own work alone, and that is ex-
actly what they are doing.
Portable Houses Erected.
The steamship Eva, with the first con-
signment of American houses on board,
reached Naples on February 20 and 1t was
boarded by Commander Belknap and Mr..
Elliott. 1t then proceeded to Messina, to-
gether with the United States navy sup
ply ship Celtic, and it's cargo was dis
charged and transported to the Piano
Mossela, where the new city of Messina is
to be built.
In less than a week the first American
portable house was set up, and by the time
the next steamer with a further consign-
ment OF houses reaches Italy a row of
houses complete in every detail and ready
for use will rise on the site of new Messina.
Comparisons are odious. but in cases like
the present one cannot help making them.
The Americans are hustling, and very
probably they will set an example. which
will be followed. Meanwhile 1t is greatly
to be regretted that there should be the
necessity to record the fact that one of the
sailors from the Celtic should have been
expected to wprk under the Americans,
and when sent about his business revenged
himself by shooting at one of the sailors.
Fortunately the injury suffered by the
| American is not serious.

ROME, March 1L-It Is not known. how
many wooden houses have so far beer
built In the earthquake area. A few weeks
after the earthquake an official from the
Public Works deDartn. ent was sent tn
Messlna. and he laid the plans for future
cities Of wood.
He decided how wide the streets were
to be, he determined the length and
breadth Of the future cities, fixed the
height Of the sheds or huts that were to
shelter the survivors n calculated the
quantity of lumber required. he was ac-
cured CT wasting a great Zeal Of time in
doing practically nothing. as while he was
measuring the ground and aging plans
the survivors remained without any shell
ter. but he Justified the delay by saying
that his work, a work OF preparation he
called II, was Indispensable. as cities could
not be built without plans being properly
made.
The defense Of the government official
evidently sounded convincing to his
superiors. Cities could not be built in a
day even II they were to consist OF wooden
sheds. But the survivors, tired Of watt
Ing for the houses the government prom
ised to build for them, set about i'm
provising shelters by using broken doors
and window shutters picked up among
the ruins. The soldiers helped them and
so did the members OF relief committees
from northern Italy. with the result that
both at Reggie and Messlna many roughly
and hastily built sheds rose over the ruins
Government Plans Mature.
The government official meanwhile con-
tinued his measuring and surveying for
the permanent cities, and he called those
built by the survivors provisional ones. The
work OF preparation for the future cities
Of wood has now been concluded, and il
Is known that the government has pur-
chased 10000 cubic meters of lumber, a
great quantity of which is on ships watt
ing to he discharged, and has ordered 5000
portable houses which are to be delivered
ready to be set up on or about the begin
ming OF April.
The work OF rebuilding the ruined cities
has been given to private constructors,
one of whom in a recent interview said
that he hoped that by the end of April
he would have completed about 800 wooden
houses. Very probably in about six months
hence the cities. towns and villages in the
earthquake area on both sides of the Strait
OF Messina will rave been rebuilt of wood
and thee arthquake survivors will be pro-
vided with shelter In the summer months,
when they will not need it owing to the
