COST OF FIRES.

Fires have cost us as many as T.
900 human lives in one years time.
and our loss in money value, through
the destruction of property. is almost
as appalling The production of gold
in the entire world, something like
$400 100000 per year, would not re-
coup us for our losses by fire. and the
incidental expenses accompanying
them, in the same period of time; the
value of all the coal mined in this
country in q years time would just
cover the cost to us OF our fires, the
value Of our lumber production Is only
a trifle more. We are fond OF luxu-
ries, and import a great many. yet
the value of all that importation is
but a fifth of our fire cost We are
great and persistent advertisers. and
spend large sums In that accessory
TO business, but, vast as our adver-
tising bill is. 1t equals but two-fifths
OF our fire bill; and all the industrial
dividends paid In 1907 aggregate but
three-fifths of the amount of our fire
extravaganza In 1907 there were no
great conflagrations; it was what
might be termed a normal year;
but we actually destroyed buildings,
and property contained in them, to
the value Of s215.000.000.

form this duty was the first assign
ment Of policemen to guard the tomb

taken, 1t was said last night that mem
bers of the Grand Army OF the Repub-
lie had complained Of the unguarded
condition of the tomb and had called
TO the attention of Commissioner Bing-
ham the fact that without the presence
there OF policemen, the opportunities
for vandalS to work In security have
been great II was denied by the po-
lice that there has been any vandalism.
and the posting of the police sentin-
els was said by the police to be only
In the nature OF precautionary meas
ure. Hitherto the park department

WILL INTRODUCE INTERSTATE
LIQUOR SHIPMENT BILL

Washington. Jan. 31-Representa-
tive I,angtry of Kentucky will intro
duce on Monday the Interstate liquor
shipment bill prepared by the Anti
Saloon League of America to obviate
the objection OF unconstitutionality
urged against the LittleAeld bill, The
objection to the Littletield bill was that
1t made interstate shipments Of liquor
subject to state laws Immediately upon
crossing the boundary, which was
claimed by It's opponents to be an at
tempted delegation of congressional
power an therefore unconstitutional.
The new measure provides for d.
rect exercise of congressional power
by itself prohibiting the shipment or
transportation of liquor to any state,
territory or district OF the United
States, or part OF the same. where
such shipment could not legally be
made within the same. 1t is designed
to protect both prohibition states and
dry territory within local option states.

Coffee Was the Cause.

Many daily habits. particularly OF
eating and drinking. are formed by fol
lowing our elders.
In this way Ill health is often fas'
tened upon children. A Ga. lady says:
Il had been allowed TO drink coffee
ever since | can remember, but even
as child had weak stomach which
frequently refused to retain food,
"The taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as found
out later, the cause of the stomach re-
belling against food.
Il now see that it was only from
following the example of my elders
that | formed and continued the mis-
cradle habit OF drinking coffee. My
digestion remained poor, nerves un'
strung. frequent headache. and yet
did not suspect the true cause.
Another trouble was a bad, muddy
complexion for which spent time and
money for creams, massaging, etc,
without any results.

CONSERVA FOR
WHOLE CONTINENT

Washington, Jan. 30.-Arrangements
for the North American Conservation
conference between representatives OF
the United States. Canada and Mexico,
at the White House February 1S, are
going forward rapidly, following the
cordial acceptance by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, premier, and Earl Grey, gov
ernor-general of Canada, and Presi-
dent Diaz of Mexico, OF President
Roosevelt's invitation to send dele
getes.. The conference will discuss
the situation with regard to the natu-
raj resources of the respective coun-
tries and help prepare general plan
adapted to promote the welfare of
the nations concerned in accordance
with President Roosevelt's sugges
ton.
This international conference will
meet at the White House by Presi
dent Roosevelts invitation. 1t will
not be large gathering as was the
conference OF governors at the White
House last May, or the joint conser-
vation conference last December, be-
tween the national conservation COM
mission, the governors and conserva-
tion committees of National organiza-
tions. The attendance will be limit
ed TO the representatives OF Canada
and Mexico and representatives of tho
state department Of the United States
government and OF other executive
departments which can render partic-
ular assistance to the conferees in
their deliberations, and lne National
Conservation commission.
Canada has already taken active
steps In preparation for the confer
ence and recently sent to the National
Conservation commission q number of
carefully prepared maps which show
the present status OF the public lands
OF the dominion as well as the distribu"
tion of the principal natural resources
and the development OF its Transports
ton systems. The Canadian authori.
ties nave also gathered together and
sent to the chairman of the commits
sion q comprehensive collection of
government documents bearing on the
natural resources OIL the country.
These have been carefully indexed and
bound together according to subjects.
They will be used at the forthcom-
ing conference.
President Roosevelt feels that the
cOnnectlOn between the United States
and the two nations which lie to the
north and south Is so intimate that
they can consider their mutual inter
ests with regard TO natural resources
from the standpoint of the general
welfare of the continent with small
regard to the political boundary lines
which separate them Indeed. 1t is
said that ne considered inviting Can
ada and Mexico to the first censerva
tion conference at the White House,
but that he refrained from doing so
because he was unwilling to run the
remotest risk OF asking these two ma
tiohs to associate themselves with
the conservation movement before II
was certain that II was going to sue
ceed Now that success is assured
he feels that since the two nations
nave identical interests and identical
aspirations they can work together
along conservation lines Just as the
representatives OF the states work
together without regard to state
boundaries.
