this coast region the lumber indus
try has taken root and is now very
extensively carried on.
noticed after three or four years
of this introduction of lumber on an
extensive scale that the price went
steadily up, up. and it very soon be-
came noised abroad. do not know
on what foundation that these lum-
bermen had formed a combination
but they would not sell under each
other to the consumer in the upper
part of the State.
Lumber is not a luxury. 1t is a
necessity. 1t is one of the neces-
saries of life. When | saw that the
farmers who had to build houses and
fences and barns in the whole upper
country, were being charged steadily
increasing prices for their lumber, |
began to change my opinion as to
whether | was getting my share of
the stealing or not. 1t looked like
somebody not very far away was
getting an unreasonable profit out
of our trees, which had cost them a
very small sum Of money relatively.
So my opinion in regard to the bene-
fits of the tariff in our State changed
very radically.
| believe in the greatest good to
the greatest number, and when |
saw that the people who use lumber,
practically four-fifths of them, were
paying an increased price, decided
if | ever got a chance, | would take
that tariff off. | do not feel that it
is my business here to protect the
industry of lumber which perhaps,
involves the interests of $4,000 good
and worthy people, as against the
100000 equally good and worthy
people who have to use lumber, and
we would not be saved from an eX-
orbitant price, because think, those
people formed a combination and
agreed that they would not undersell
each other.
The only reason why we were alb
le, or will be able, to get lumber at
a reasonable rate is due to the
fact that there were some old field
pine second growth left in the up
per part of the State and small
patches, or small areas, two or three
hundred acres or 500 acres, all
through in the middle lower region
that the lumbermen had not bought
or could not buy at the high prices
Il mean the great lumber compan-
les, with their railroads and all that
sort of thing, running out into the
swamps. The only reason why the
upper-country people could get lum-
Der at decent prices was because a
little one-horse saw-mill costing ST.
500 or at most $4,000, would 60 into
these little patches of pine and saw
the timber up and furnish the peo-
pie this necessary, as against these
great combinations of capital which
had absorbed our timber.

DANGER SIGNALS
NEEDED FOR AUTOS
Railroad Crossings Have In
adequate Signals to Warn
Motorists

There is strong agitation. among
autoists for better system of uni
form signals indicating railroad cross
ings. Every day brings the story of
the fatal embarrassing accident in
one state or another aud il generally
happens that the victims are motor
lists
There are, as pointed out by an au-
thority. scores of railroad crossings
obscured by trees, shrubs. OF hills.
and which are Of such a nature that
It is necessary to bring the car prac-
ucally to dead stop before the rail-
road tracks can Sc seen at either side
of the road On the Munsey Historic
Tour a number of railroads were
crossed in which a full view of the
track on both sides was not obtained
until the car was within ten feet of
the tracks. Such conditions are eS-
tremely dangerous and should be safe
guarded.
II is urged that special signals for
railroad crossings for the use Of
motorists are imperative. What is
needed is a red danger signal 100
yards from the crossing, and this sign
should be as close as possible to the
side OF the roadbed. Signals of this
character would be the means of saw
ing many lives. and it is to be hoped
early action will be taken by the rail
roads

NEW USES FOR POSLAM
Surprising Results After One Appli-
catiOn-Skin Ailments
Fradlcated.

Those who have on hand a jar of
poslam. the new skin remedy, should
try it for some of the little skin all
ments common TO all households. par
ticularly i'm the summer time. Sur
prising results will be seen after a
single application when poslam is
used for sunburn. fever blisters, NOS
quito bites, burns, rashes, pimples,
hives, red noses and irritated and in
famed skin. The complexion is clear
ed overnight; dandruff is dissolved;
itching or chafing feet are speedily
relieved.
These uses are suggested apart
from the primary purposes Of poslam,
the treatment of eczema, acne, skin
scale, all forms of itch and other SER
ious and virulent skin troubles. There
is no skin disorder for which poslam
should not be unhesitatingly used and
which Il will not benefit. Whenever
itching is present, it is stopped at
once.
According TO the uses for which it
is employed, poslam may be purchas-
ed In 50-cent boxes or 81 jars at all
drug stores, particularly Miller Drug
Co., and n. B. Danforth. A free sam
pie, which will demonstrate it's mar
velous work, will be sent by mail,
upon request, to anyone who will
write TO the Emergency Laboratories,

some what, however. and many of the

IN DEFENCE OF MISS coRELLI.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A letter written by brother of
Miss Marie Corelli to his friend. Mr.. Brier,
and published in The Tribune of October
10, does not detract from the reputation
disowning those who established prece-
dent when they forfeited all claim to her
relationship at the time she became an
adopted member of the Mackay family
If, as a helpless infant, she was one too
many in a numerous household, by what
species of argument are the relatives en-
titled to share the distinction and pros
perity to the attainment of which they con-
tr1buted nothing? Cannot an author whose
books were the favOrites of Queen Victoria
and received the serious appreciation of
Mr.. Gladstone, and who possessed suf-
fcient genius TO appeal TO two such oppo-
site characters. safely be regarded as a
student of human nature and capable of
distinguishing friends from foes?
In her adopted home. deprived of play
mates which her natural family circle would
have supplied, she lived in a dream world
in the midst of books. From out those
dreams no doubt came the name "CorelIi."
The reading public will concern itself only
with the literary merit of Miss CorelIi's
works. but for the benefit of posterity
might it not be well to establish the fact
that Miss Corelli- Mackay- Cody is one and
the same person. and thus avoid another
Bacon Shakespeare controversy?
