diminished outlay for labor, with
corresponding loss in wages.
Before the severe fires OF August
were more than a probability, this
magazine placed the loss TO property
from the fires in the United States
and Canada at about 100000, 900.
Since then the fires OF the North
west have caused losses of probably
not less than 25,000.000 in the ma
tional forests, and those OF the North
west and the Lake states together
have destroyed not less than $50. 000,-
900 worth of timber owned by states
and private persons.

as the nation by these fires.
A comparison OF the public losses
with the private losses for the whole
country indicates that the private
losses we're seven times greater than
the public losses. in spite of the fact
that privately owned forests are not
more than FIVE times greater In eX-
tent and are more accessible than
those publicly owned.
To replace forests by planting on
the 100000 acres burned over would
cost not less than $40,0O0,00O II is
likely. however, that over much of
the area natural seeding from the live
trees left standing will furnish the be-
ginnings of new growth.
No attempt has been made by
American forestry to estimate the
damage to young growth or to the
soil. For much of the burned-over
land this damage would increase the
estimated losses two or three fold.

NATURES WEAVING TIME

When first the light of reason dawned
And the race OF man was young,
Such a lullaby as a mother sings
To the infant race was sung,
Sung by Mother Nature
To her babe. the infant race,
A weird, sweet song OF promise
or happier. holler place.
And the wondering eyes OF the infant
In mute bewilderment,
Looked into the face OF nature
With a baby's sweet content
And so 20 Natures grooming,
The world moved on a-pace
TIL questioning light came into the
eyes
As child Will ask the meaning
OF a mothers lullaby.
So the growing infant wondered
At the earth and the sea and the SKY,
But ever that song OF promise,
That mystic lullaby,
Poured out OF the heart OF Nature
To the infants questioning cry.
Now the wondering questions OF the
child
Are asked by the clamorous youth,
To the mystic promise OF Natures song
Tho stripling demands the truth:
And he plies his mother with questions
or the why and the where and the
And his questioning cries
Fill the earth and the skies
Unheedlng the lullaby now.
For the infant is fast outgrowing his
And the fairy tales OF his youth,
And the mother is teaching her infant
now
To look in the face OF the truth.
For man is'but now In the making
Creation has just begun,
And the man Will rise,
As the man beast dies.
When the work OF Creation Is done.

Proposes Pure Textile Law
Corresponding to "Pure Food Law

In the course OF her article on THE
Mysteries and Cruelties OF the Tariff,"
in the November American Magazine,
Miss Ida VI. Tarbell explains how
many manufacturers rather than raise
the price OF their goods in conformity
with the duties on wool, hides and
other commodities, use cheaper grades
of material. She explains how we are
today obtaining poorer quality in our
$3.50 shoes and how cotton is displac
ing pure wool. and how there Is a
general adulteration OF goods. Con.
tinuing she says:
"Tbe primary trouble here is. Of
course, that we have in this country
no standards for textiles What we
need Is a pure textile law similar to
our pure food law. England has a
law which is aimed at misrepresenta-

WASHINGTON, Nov. while an
accurate estimate OF the total fire
damage OF the past season will never
be made, enough is known, according
to the American Forestry Magazine
for November, to place the damage TO
standing timber in round figures at
from Sl75.0OO, 900 to $500 ,O00, 900. This
year was the worst forest fire season
OF several decades, and the estimate
OF such an enormous loss is taken 10
be conservative, when il is consider
ed that the governments figures for
losses during normal years has been
$50, 900 900 and upwards.
The timber consumed. or damaged
beyond hope OF utilization before II
becomes a total loss by decay, was
roughly equivalent to the entire lum-
Der cut of two years. assuming 40,-
00O, 0GO, 900 feet as the average annual
cut.
Since not more than one-third as
much timber is grown as IL takes to
meet the yearly demand, II would
take six years growth of all the for
ests OF the country TO replace the sup
ply wiped out by this years fires.
The cost of fighting these fires was
not less than 81 SOC, 900, and probably
exceeded this sum.
Since the production of every thou
sand feet OF lumber represents $40
in wages, $S.O00,000 was lost TO in

Drink Puritas Water
Don't Be Satisfied With Anything
EISe-It Is a Vital
Necessity

Pure drinking water in abundance is
a real health requirement. Your own
well-beng and that of your family de-
pends as much upon a supply of pure,
wholesome water as it does upon pure,
palatable food. A little thought will
convince you of this. You will realize
that it is poor policy to drink water
contaminated with mineral or vegeta-
BILE impurities. Yet this is what you
get in natural waters hereabouts. They
are not pure. Most of them, indeed,
are hard" alkaline waters.
You can secure pure, wholesome
drinking water in abundance at very
small expenditure-just order Puritas
Distilled Water. There are no impuri-
ties whatever in Puritas Distillation

We distill Puritas twice. We aerate
