BENEFITS OF SALT SPONGE
Powerful Soother Of Tired
Nerves.

There are few things more invig
Grating to tired nerves than a salt
sponge, either before going to bed OF
first thing in the morning. II one
is inclined to sleeplessness the latter
time is best, as the salt is decidedly
stimulating.
Sea salt can be bought in boxes and
should be kept in bathroom closet
or some place where it is quickly
found.
AS brine is not made rapidly, it Is
wiser, if the bath is to be taken in the
morning, to soak a large double hand
full of the salt in two quarts of boil
ing water over night. Keep In GOV
cred pitcher.
When ready to use add two quarts
of fresh water. either tepid or cold, as
preferred. If one likes to sponge i'll
a tub use more salt, keeping about the
same proportions.
This brine can be used on the face
as we'll as the body and it does small
hurt if it gets in the eyes. The sting
is temporary and the good effects are
felt in rested eyes, as we'll as nerves
Such a sponge is strengthening tO
women who are unable to take cold
plunges and find daily bath in hot
water enervating.
If you have no sea salt, ice cream
salt, or even that for table use, will
answer, but it costs more and is less
beneficial
When very tired one can add to the
salt water three or four tablespoon
fuls of alcohol This combination Is
eSneciallV inVigOrating.

While the forestry scandal is dragging
its dreary length along and sensationaHsts
are INDUCING in vehement outcries in the
vain effort 10 convince the country that
il is fast going to the demnition bow
vows. 1t is worth while TO pause and con-
slider the actual status OF the cause OF
national conservation.
Has il really suffered? Are spectators
and plunderers now freely possessing
themselves Of the public domain? Has
the great work of conserving cur natural
resources come TO dead standstll since
Mr. Pinchot and Mr.. Ballinger began
fighting it out?
The answers are furnished in a press
bulletin just issued by the United States
Geological Survey.
During the year ended on the 4th OF
Mareh-the first year of the present ad-
ministration-coal land Withdrawals were
made covering $4,000 acres not previous
ly withdrawn. New regulations we're put
into effect materially increasing the sale
price of all such lands, the increase
amounting in many cases to as much as
600 per cent. Old regulations fixed the
maximum price of coal lands at $50 per
acre; under the new regulations the maxi
mum price per acre thus far fixed for
any particular area is $3.50.
Equally significant results are shown in
the Withdrawals of public phosphate lands
in Wyoming. Idaho. and Utah. of public
oil lands in California. Colorado. Oregon.
Utah, and Wyoming. and of public power
site Withdrawals IN nine States
All this is set out officially and in detail
in the bulletin referred TO. The facts and
figures. printed elsewhere in this issue.
are well worth considering by those who
want accurate knowledge touching the
conservation work actually accomplished.
The Geological Survey does not appear
frequently or prominently in the national
limelght. It's operations are seldom ex-
plotted in the magazines or at the banquet
board It figures rarely, If at all, In the
equation Of the oratorical champion Of
the uplift. But it is achieving much in a
practical way, Just The same. in advanc-

conclusion, that the Geological Survey is

Making Men Good BY Law

From Farm and Ranch.
So often has the statement that .you
cannot make men good By law" been
repeated that some men have come TO
believe il true. Yet all law is for the
purpose OF making men good and II
the statement be true there is no need
for laws
The law does not deal with the con-
sciences OF men directly. Only acts are
forbidden; intentions. motives. are not
punished. Sometimes motive is import
ant to determine the quality of the act !;
but the act alone is punished.
Il is the purpose of the law to make
men good; and II the statement quoted
be true, then all law is a colossal fall
ure. But we know that some men are
made good, relatively. by law. Some
men are restrained in desire 10 commit
murder. Others are restrained in de-
sires to commit other offenses. The
purpose Of the law is to prevent the
commission of crime, or to compel men
TO do what is right. And men who re-
frain from doing wrong by reason OF
fear OF the law, and men who do right
because they fear not TO do so, are bet
ter for their actions. regardless OF de-
sires.
The direct action OF the law which
compels men 70 do right. and which pre-
vents them from doing wrong. IS moral
in effect. and In this way men are made
better by law
There is an indirect effect OF law
which tends TO make men better. When
society has condemned an act and has
denounced il by law. every good citizen
upholds the law and does not hesitate
70 condemn the act denounced. The
moral effect OF this is great, and in
time people come to regard the act as so
immoral that they condemn the man
who commits it. This is what we cali
public opinion. We all know the i'm
mense power Of public opinion"

the fact that there were introduced in
the British Parliament 100 new bills-tbe

forty-eight were passed. The railroad

strong box. The army and navy were in
urgent need OF money. and the chancel-
Tor was at his wits end as to how to
produce. He bethought himself Of the
dead, and gravely suggested a tax on cof-
fins, which proposal recalls necessarily
the days when one could not be born
without infiicting a tax upon ones proud
parents. For instance, the birth OF an
eldest son frequently cost a duke as much
as ESQ. whereas a cOttsger was penalized
TO the extent of only a couple of shillngs.
Verify. TO be born with a silver spoon in
your mouth cost money in those days.
Not only was there once a tax on hair
powder, but hair itself has been called
upon TO pay its share Of the revenue.
Boards were at various times taxed IN
England Henry VIII issued a graduated
levy on boards which compelled the sher-
liz of Canterbury 10 pay shiIiings and
pence for the privilege OF wearing a
beard. while others were forced to make
payment commensurate with their rank
and the length of their boards Queen
Elizabeth changed all this, however. and
fixed the same sum for every beard of
over a fortnights growth.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
First Carpet Factory Established -March6

The mention of carpets dates from
very remote period of antiquity. They
seem first TO have been applied to re-
lIgious purposes and were used to gsrnlsh
the palaces OF the Pharaohs. The car
pet industry. as we understand it, was
established In France on March 6, 1854,
when Colbert, minister of Louis XIV,
opened his carpet factory at Beauvais.
Our early ancestors covered the floors
OF their houses with rushes. hair. or
straw. and carpets, when first introduced,
were used to cover tables. Long before
the weaving of carpets in Europe was
started, noble ladies. monks, and nuns In
converts had been accustomed TO make
beautiful tapestries, which were occa-
sIonally used as floor coverings. In 1907
a regular factory was established at
the Louvre for making these wall hang
ings and carpets by the reigning King Of
France. Henry ".
A variety of these carpets made at the
first French factory are still on exhibit
ton in various museums of the world
Following the success Of the industry at
Reauvais, the English carpet industry
begun in 1875 in Surrey Toward this OBJ
ject the King had set aside a consider
able sum, and French weavers were
brought over 70 assist.
The history of carpet manufacture in
the United States begins with the rag
carpet industry, which continued TO be
of considerable inheritance until fo1var,l
the close of the last century. Each VII
lage had its weavers. to whom the thrifty
housewives brought their balls of rags
SO late as 1890 there were in the United
States S54 rag-carpet weavers' shops,
with an annual output valued at close TO

HonOring Peary Abroad.

Whatever else we may say Of our Eng
lish cousins across the pond II must be
conceded that they adjust the distribu-
ton of honors to their heroes much bet
ter than We do on this side of the At
lantic They attempt to discriminate
politely but positively; this honoree IS
carefully differentiated from that honoree,
and always with a reason
We find that the Royal Geographic So
ciety Of London. for instance. in award
ing a medal to our Mr.. Peary. of north
pole fame. was very particular-insist-
emily particular. indeed-as TO Its size
The society thus patiently and pre-
eisely explains the award:
1T places Peary ahead OF either Stanley or
Nansen. BY the size Of the medal conferred the
society carefully expresses the relative importance
Of the three achievements It's gold medal to stan
ley il 1890 three inches in diameter; It's medal
% Nansen. in 1897. two ard oue-haf inches; its
medal to Peay wili be four inches in diameter"
We fear our Congress does not under
stand the gentle art OF handling heroes
automatically. England has been en-
gagged in the business much longer than
the United States. and we presume its
surprising wisdom is explainable only on
the ground of long experience. Once a
hero. always hero. in John Bulls PHI

them, and refrain from squabbIing with
the umpire In this land Of the free.

way, but Mr. Peary cannot see that Il
weighs much. Maybe he is right. Never
