VALUE OF FOREST EXPORTS
They Amounted to s9O. 900 in 1908
Imports More.

Washington. Dec. s-Forests OF the Uni
ted States contributed ninety millions Of
dollars to the exports OF the country
during the fiscal year 1903, an increase Of
twenty fold since 1851. Imports of forest
products. chiefly India rubber and 9TH
er gums from the tropics and lumber from
Canada. have increased even more rapid
y than the exports. The imports increas-
ed from one and one-tlIird millions Of
dollars in 1851 to s12o. 600. 600 in 1907 from
which high mark they fell off in 1903 TO
approximately SOS. 100000.
II is interesting, says the bulletin. to
note the rapid increase IN imports OF
wood pulp. In 1880 only 5000 worth was
imported: by 1890 this value had increas-
ed to t1,soO 900: by 1900 to t2.4oo 80 and in
1908 wood pulp to the value Of 5000 coo
was imported.

lives there woman who says that
she has immediate communion with
the Almighty, and now and then de-
livers to those of common clay mes
sage that she has received from on

sometimes take on very materials

ness, in her opinion.
One day she went into the office of
well known attorney and approached
him solemnly as one about to reveal
an awe-inspiring secret.
"The Lord sent me to you for $25,"
she announced.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
By the terms of the decree, 1t is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
of the tribunal which rendered it. No

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of Coffee Heart

The injurious action of Coffee on the
heart of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caf.
feline. This is the drug found by chem.
lists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof.
fee. as that was the principal cause
of the trouble. She writes:
''My heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
l would never breathe again.
"The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said l must stop it, but 1t seemed l
could not give 1t up until was down
in bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks l lay there and
suffered. Finally Husband brought
home some Postum and l quit coffee
and started new and right. Slowly I
got well. Now do not have any head
aches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know 1t is Postum that
helped me. The DR.. said the other day,
I never thought you would be what
you are l used to weigh 80 pounds
and now I weigh 1853.
Postum has done much for me and
l would not go back to coffee again
for any money, for believe 1t would
kill me If kept at it. Postum must
be we'll boiled according to directions
on pkg, then 1t has rich favour
and with cream is fine"

Furnaces and the Ore Supply

On June 80 last there were 15 blast furnaces in course of construction, as follows: New York, one; Pennsylvania, five; Ohio, two; Indiana, four; Illinois, one, and Michigan, two. No new fur mace was at the end of June going up in the south.
 This does not, however, tell the whole story, for pig iron production has been increased in this district by the rebuilding of furnaces that were either small or old. This reconstruc- ton has added to the producing capacity of this district to such an extent that an output of 100000 tons a year has become possible.
 More furnaces would be built in this district, perhaps, if the ore supply were in fewer hands. The independent ore supply in this district is relatively small. There is an abundance of fuel and Aux here, but the ore beds al ready owned by going" concerns are few and far between The man who, by boring or digging, increases the ore possibilities of this district is the man who would confer upon 1t the greatest benefit.
