PRESIDENT BOOSTS
WIRELESS SERVICE
Urges Congress to Pass a Law Re-
curing Proper Equipment Of
All Ocean Steamers.
Measure Has Been introduced by
Representative Burke Of Pennsyl-
vania, Requiring Equipment
of ocean-Going Vessels.

Washington.-To prevent the loss
of life by catastrophes at sea, such as
so nearly happened when the liner
Republic went down recently, the
president on Monday sent to congress
q message urging the passage Of a
bill similar to that introduced by Rep.
resentative Burke of Pennsylvania,
requiring the equipment of ocean-go
ing vessels with a wireless telegraph
apparatus.
Before sending the message, the
president conferred with Mr.. Burke
ON the subject. The president had
been advised by the commissioner Of
navigation that, in his opinion, such
legislation was most urgently de-
manded, and he argued in strong Ian
guage the passage of this or similar
bill. The closing paragraphs of the
message are as follows:
THE subject is now under consid-
Grafton by the congress and am ad.
vised legislation to effect the same
general purpose is under considera'
ton abroad.
"Our interest in it's enactment is
keen, on account of the great number
of steerage as well as cabin passen
gers who annually arrive at and de
part from our ports. What we have
already done along practical business
lines warrants the United States ir
being first among the nations to en-
act a statute requiring the use Of this
safeguard of human life"

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild
worn out nerves, but proper food is
required.
There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc, which is
grown there by nature for food to brain
and nerve tissue. This is the phos-
phate of potash, of which Grape-Nuts
food contains large proportion.
In making this food all the food ele-
ments in the two cereals, wheat and
barley, are retained. That is why so
many heretofore nervous and run down
people find in Grape-Nuts a true nerve

USE OF NATIONAL FOREST
RESOURCES ON INCREASE
Growth In Volume of Business Arising
From Use of Forests Has Created
Serious Administrative Problem.

Washington.-The actual use of the
varied resources of the governments
168, 0OO, 900 acres of national forest
land is on the increase, according to
the report Of the work for the fiscal
year 1908. The report says that from
an administrative standpoint the most
striking fact of the year was the re-
markable increase which took place in
the volume of business transacted.
This growth in business done by
the United States forest service last
year over the previous year is partly
brought out in the following statement
showing percentages Of increase: In
the number of timber sales, 236 per
cent; in the amount of timber cut
under sales, 102 per cent; in the mum
Der of free timber permits, rs pei
cent; in the number of grazing per
mits, IL per cent, and in the number
OF special-use permits, 81 per cent
That the additions to existing national
forests and now creations caused this
increase only to a small extent Is
shown by the fact that the area in.
creased is only IL per cent. In speak.
ing OF this feature of the work of the
forest service in his annual report,
the secretary of agriculture says in
part:
The growth in the volume of bust
ness arising from use of the forests
has created very serious administers
tive problem. Last year 78 per cent
of the time of the administrative and
protective force was taken up by the
demands of national forest business.
The average forest area to each Of
ficer supposedly available for patrol
duty was about 10000 acres; but
with more than three-fourths of the
time of these officers occupied with
timber-sale, grazing, and other bust
ness, the force actually available fol
patrol was equivalent to about one
man to each 100000 acres. That un
der these circumstances the fire LOSSES
in year of exceptional danger were
kept down to very small figure In
comparison with the value of the tim
Der exposed and the damage from for
est fires elsewhere is a matter OF con
graduation.
1.-THE risk incurred, however, is out
of all proportion to the added cos
which more adequate protection would
involve / am convinced that the pro
vision made for the care and use O.
the national forests has become made
quate to their needs, and have there
fore submitted estimates for the fisca
year 1910 which ask for substantial
Increase in the appropriation. Will
the further growth in business which
is certain to take place during thu
present year, even less protection cal
be given than has been given in thu
past. Indeed, the point has now near
, ly been reached at which 1t is no
, even a choice between providing TO
the needs of those who would use tn
forests and protecting the forest
themselves"

Not Afraid of a Ghost.

In village In England, month or
so ago, a man came running into an
inn at nine o'clock at night and cried
out that there was ghost in his back
yard. There were IA men in the inn,
and not one Of them dared to go home
with the man and investigate. There
was a person who dared, however, and
that was the landlords daughter, girl
of IA. Some of the. men followed her
at a distance, and she went into the
yard and up to the ghost Tapping its
arms about, and discoyered-what?
That it was no more nor less than a
mans white shirt tapping on the
clothes line in strong breeze That's
about the way all ghosts turn out.

her. Il am afraid you would not be

| will most positively abide by, pro-

you had better not do it. You have
not been accustomed to hardship, and
1t may be more severe than you now
imagine. I know you are capable of
thinking correctly on any subject, and
if you deliberate maturely upon this
before you decide, then | am willing

This did not sound in Miss Owens
ears like the ardent protestation of
true love. She wrote back and gave
him piece of her mind, saying that
he was deficient in those little links
which go to make up woman's hap
piness"
Lincoln, not a little relieved, accept
ed this rejoinder as the conclusion
of the matter and wrote to Mrs
Browning: Il have now come to the
conclusion never again to think of
marrying"
About year later high-spirited
and fascinating Kentucky girl, 81
years old, Mary Todd-the sister of
