not unfriendly to the continued
control of our public affairs by
the special interests. Safe and
sane conservation means con-
servation so steriliZed that it will
do the specifl interests no harm
and the people no good. Real
conservation is putting public
welfare ahead of corporate. profit
and keeping it there.
"The sanity and safety of con-
servation were never called into
question until conservation began
to be really embarrassing to the
grabbers and effective to the
public interests. I'm not a soft
pedal conservationist myself.
How interests Win.
1.-THE one great obstacle to prac-
teal progress of conservation lay
in the political power of the spe-
cial interests. Every effort to
conserve natural resources for
the general welfare was met by
legislative agents of the men who
wanted to exploit these resources
for their private profit.
$50 long as the political domi.
nation of the great interests en-
dures, corrupt control of legisla-
ton will carry with it the monop-
olistic control of natural re-
sources This is what we face to-
day in the effort to apply conser-
walton.
Principles of Conservation.
The conservation program is
definite and concrete. The prin-
ciples are few and simple.
One of the first is that the nat
ural resources belong to all the
people and should be developed,
protected and perpetuated mainly
for the. profit of all the people
and not mainly for the profit of
the few.
Another principle is that the
natural resources still owned by
the people which are necessaries
of life, like coal and water power,
should remain in public owner
ship and disposed of only under
leases for limited periods, with
fair compensation to the public for
rights granted.
Public Should Own.
"As to our forests, all forests
necessary for the public welfare
should be in the public owner
ship, such as the national forests
already in existence, the proposed
Appalachian and White Mountain
national forests, and the state for
ests of New York, Pennsylvania,
Wisconsin and other states.
1.-THE protection of existing for
ests by wise use is the first step
in forestry. Reforestration is the
second.
Land bearing-forests should
be taxed annually on the land
value alone, and the timber crop
should be taxed when it is cut, so
private forestry may be encour-
aged.
THE private ownership of for
est land is public trust, and the
people have both the right and the
duty to regulate the use of such
lands in the general interest.
AS to lands, every acre of land
should be put to whatever use
would make III most uSe1ul TO all
the people.
Not for Spectators.
settlement must be .encour-
aged by every legitimate means
on all the land that will support
homes. Thus the tfllable land in
public ownership within and
without the national forests
should be disposed of in fee SIM
pie to actual homemakers but not
to spectators"
Both Should Cooperate.

SANDWICHES.

Sandwiches should be prepared with
an idea Of appearance and nourish-
ment. as often they are the main food
at a picnic. Bread for sandwiches
should be fine, close-grained bread at
least one day old. Warm the butter.
not melt It, and spread the bread.
matching the slices as they were cut
from the loaf. To pack sandwiches
many wrap them in a damp cloth.
others wrap each sandwich separately
in waxed paper.
In preparing a sandwich filling the
important POINT to remember is that
it shall be soft, fine and spreadable.
A cucumber or two packed in the ice
is used to cool the lemonade, or may
be used as salad filling with lit
tie onion juice to season it.
A bottle of lemon sirup to use for
lemonade is always a welcome addi-
tion to the picnic basket Simple
cakes and salads may be added, pick
les and olives, salted nuts and fruits
will make basket well supplied with
good things.
Iced coffee is liked by many for a
drink, or iced cocoa is always popu-
lar. Use wooden or paper plates, for
they may be thrown away and are
much lighter to carry. A thermos
bottle is a fine acquisition to picnic
basket ii one wants either hot or a
cold drink.

All oE KEEPING euIET.

The blessed art of keeping quiet is
one which our American women must
learn If they would keep from nerv-
Gus prostratlon and a hundred other
Ills. The first lesson to learn is to
know when one has been talking too
much or moving too much. Half the
women we meet have no idea of ply
steal repose. She shifts position.
swings her foot, twirls her thumbs.
turns her head and is not quiet a single
moment.
A high pitched voice is another indi-
cation of nervousness, 1t is often the
sure sign of exhaustion.
One Of the worst symptoms Of a
nervous break down is the inability to
let go. She holds on to the very thing
that is undermining her health like a
dog to a root"
The more she goes the more she
has to go. She loses all sense of the
fitness Of things, and all ideas of the
proportion of rest and action that
must exist If one keeps sound and
sane. The asylums are not holding all
the insane men and women by any
means.
The great experts on keeping health
emphasize the art of keeping quiet.
The woman who gives up all society,
all vital touch with the world makes
even a greater mistake as she is lost
both in the world and herself; but
there is happy medium. One must
choose between the two. 1t is not nee
essary to be either a butterfly of a
vegetables.
No doctor can do so much for a ner-
Gus young woman as she can do for
herself. The art of self control is
learned in keeping quiet.
A day spent in the woods where one
can quietly sit for hours and be per
fectly quiet will break up a good case
of nerves. An hour a day in perfect
quiet where one can think out ones
own thoughts is a great help in main
tanning mental poise.

The diet of Wurttemberg has just

Silas Carriers Romance
By Carl Jenkins
coBgIlshl. I9I0. y Ass0elaled LllsIaly q.

There was nothing wrong about
Silas Carter. He was a strappine
young man who worked in sawmill
and ate three square meals a day
When evening came he sat down to
store his mind with knowledge. He
couldn't borrow Shakespeare or
American history and, in consequence
he borrowed romances. They were
not eactly dime novels. They related
mostly to knights and chevaliers and
rescues Of distressed damsels.
After reading for two or three
years Silas got the idea that he was
a chevalier, and that the distressed
damsel would sooner or later heave
into view. He didn't say anything
about 1t. It might be that be wasn't
a chevaiier, and It might be tnat the
distressed damsel would be detained
on the road.
One night when he was calling on
Miss Eunice Bebee. the daughter of
a villager. he casually observed:
"Eunice. love you and want you
to be my wife"
81 will she replied.
Eunice had known Silas for a long
time. and had come to realize that
she loved him. and why shouldn't she
have answered that way? Why blush
and stick a finger in her mouth and
reply that she would see her father
about It? She did Just as a plain,
sensible girl always does under the
circumstances--she waited for Silas
to say more.
He began and ended right there.
If the distressed damsel appeared he
would tell Eunice that he had
changed his mind; If she didn't then
they would get married some day.
Eunice continued to be a good. plain
girl. and silas Kept his eyes open
for what was coming.
It came one July day. A young
lady from the city, stopping at sum
mer hotel in the village, came down
to the mill pond 10 fish. Silas was
in the mill yard. wrestling the saw
