BURTON STARTS IN TO TALK FOREST RESERVES MEAS
 URE TO DEATH.
WEEKS BATTLES FOR BILL
Massachusetts Representative Issues UItimatum That He'll Fight All Summer in the
 House.

Washington, June 24.-Nhen Sen ator Burton of Ohio arose in the sen ate to make "a few remarks" on the bill to create mountain forest re- serves, he lad in mind a speech to last two days. The only questions are whether his powers will be equal to the strain, or whether the senate decides upon night session In the latter case, it would be one very long speech instead of two speeches GOV ering as many sessions. Burton op- poses the bill.
 On the other hand, Representative Weeks of Massachusetts has issued an ultimatum that congress shall not adjourn until the bill shall have passed the house.
 So, with Weeks flibustering to force congress to pass the bill, and Burton flibustering to prevent it, the statesmen face a peculiar problem.
 The bill proposes that the govern ment shall cooperate with states and private owners in maintaining forest reserves at the headquarters of the rivers in the Southern Appalachian and the White mountains. It applies to other parts of the country, but the two projects are the only ones now in view. They have been pressed by powerful influences for years. Bills to carry out the plans have been passed by the senate three times and once hx- In but I, ,,,.l,.,s never acted in the same congress.
 Recommended by Three Presidents.
 Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft rec commended the passage of the bills.
 The argument in favor of the enter prise is that it will conserve the timber protect the watersheds of in- dividual streams and prevent the de- struction of agricultural lands by floods resulting from denuded water. sheds
 The bill appropriated $2O0,00O to en- able the secretary of agriculture to cooperate with states or private owners of forested watersheds to pro- tect the forests from fire" He also may enter into agreements to admin ister private forest lands.
 It is also provided that there shall be appropriated $100O,000 next year, and $2,000,000 annually until 1916, for the purchase by the government of lands situated at the headwaters of navigable streams, or those which may be made navigable. These pur- chases are to be subject to the ap- proval of commission consisting of the secretaries of war; interior and agriculture, two senators and two rep resentatiyes. The secretary of az riculture is given authority to divide the lands into national forests. An appropriation of $25OOO a year is made to pay the expenses of the com mission.

Frail Women

The woman who is by nature not robust cannot be too careful of her health. The foundation of all health is in the stomach Without good di- gestion the body is not nour;shed, and then soon becomes feeble and weak. In order to have good digestion reg ular bowel movement Is absolutely necessary, and 1t is at this point that so many women neglect themselves.
 In any of these conditions you cannot do better than to take Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, the remedy that thousands of delicate women are using. It is the great family laxative. and in addition to its wonderful power to cure chronic consti- patton and chronic indigestion. 1t con. tains tonic properties that strengthen the stomach muscles so that in time they will work naturally again without the aid of medicine.
 Any druggist will sell you bottle for the small sum of 30 cents, though persons who have used the remedy before and know what it Is buy the S1 size Mrs. Amanda Grammar, of Alvarado. Va. who is 6S and feeble, uses it regularly and speaks in the highest praise of it. Esther Pine, of Marion. Ind. is also an enthusiast of this wonderful remedy and she wished she had the fortune to tell the whole world about 1t. Both these ladies, as well as hundreds of others we could name first became acquainted with pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin through the doctors offer to send any sufferer a free test bottle direct to the home.
 He will send you or any other sufferer a sample bottle free of charge on receipt of your name and address It is won derfuly effective in the stomach troubles of children and babies, girls entering the period of menstruation and old folks, all of whom need gentle laxative.

Costly }Iaze !.

Minot was. visited by a disastrous
fire about three o'clock this morning.
when the European Restaurant, the
Minot Cigar Factory and the pool
hall, just to the north OF it on North
Main street, were destroyed by Are.
The buildings, all owned by E.. r.
lompkins, formerly of Minot, now OF
Caldwell, Idaho, are nearly total
loss.
The European Restaurant building
was brick structure, two stories in
height. The other buildings were
frame.
The fire started about half past one
o'clock in the cigar factory, in a
mysterious manner. The firemen
were called out, and although they
responded quickly, the fire succeed
ed in eating its way to the second
floor of the European restaurant,
where after considerable time, It

of the restaurant. which was used
for sleeping apartments, was filed

greater. Four hose played upon the
flames, but the fire when once start

get at that 1t was impossible to check
it. The bremen at last, climbed to
the top of the building, and cutting
holes in the roof, flooded the upper
portion with water. The new water
system is a good one. and there is
plenty of power, the streams reaching
fully sixty feet into the air. This
will reach the top of Minot's tallest
buildings.
The loss to the three buildings is

is partially insured.

building can 30 readsrsd practically

pssiy equipped with lightning rods.
There are . number Of precautions,
however, which must be observed, or

To begin with, the very best ma

periments all along the line demon
strate that nothing is equal to cop
per cable for conducting electricity
with ease and rapidly. This is fully
demonstrated, as heretofore noted, by
the use of copper by telephone and
telegraph companies and also in cleo
trio lighting and heating plants,
where copper conduits are always
employed. Consequently, 1 think
will be borne out in this statement
that copper cable lightning rod is
better than any other kind. The next
thing Of Importance is that the wire
be of sufficient size to take care of
any electrical discharge which may
be encountered. There Is no econo-
my in using small rods, nor is it safe
to trust their erection to an incompe-
tent man. The double cable construc-
ton would tend to overcome side
flashes, and 30 reinforced Is q very
scientific construction of lightning
conductors. ..rt.......5 a...s.
SEQ to it that the lightning rod
system is properly installed. Earth
connections must be constructed with
the greatest care. Tho essential
thing is to have tho lightning rod
extend into permanently moist SOIL
Another equally important PROPOSE
ton is that there be very few Joints.
and all connections be absolutely per.
feet. Unless this is accomplished,
the rods break apart and they are
worse than no conductors at all. II
of good copper it is easily possible to
make these connections so that they
will last as long as the building.
Terminals extending up into the
air should be at least feet high,
and must reach IS to "a inches above
the highest point or chimney on the
building. II there are two cupolas,
each cupola should bear a lightning
rod and terminal point. If the build
ing has no cupolas. and simply has
long ridge pole. at least three termi-
nails should be erected. A good. re-
sponsfble lightning rod dealer can
give you excellent advice, but these
fed points should be thoroughly IN
derstood. Telephone wires should
also be grounded to the lightning rod
by use Of . good and approved tele-
phone lightning arrester.
In addition TO loss from unprotect-
ed buildings, lose Of live stock BE-
cause Of wire fences IS sometimes
enormous. Loss from this source can
be prevented BY properly grounding
the fence wires Ct shout every nth
post. This Is accomplished by running
q good. heavy copper wire down into
moist earth. then firmly attaching 1t
to the fence post Be sure to have the
contact Between the ground wire and
tn tsnoe wire perfect. Driving Z Sta
