least, on Sequoia timber. Government
holdings include the Sequoia and Gen.
Grant National parks of 161, $50 and
1850 acres respectively; but between
them they contain 1,172 acres of valid
private claims, probably located in the
heart of the best timber, besides a
sawmill apiece, so that being rather
hard to reach they are inadequate as
parks, except, of course, from the
standpoint of sentiment, which in this
case ought to override every other

The department of agriculture has
recently been informed that certain Of
its publications dealing with eucalyp-
tus have been misquoted by several
companies interested in selling lands.
For instance. Circular 81 of the Forest
Service has been misrepresented as
saying that California will in a few
years be the only source Of hardwood
supply in the United States.
The department experts believe that
there is promise of considerable sue
cess in the cultivation of eucalyptus
trees in many parts of California, but
estimates of profit and of growth have
been attributed to the department
which are unauthorized.

1t is probable that some of the
Sequoias, as the finest big trees are
called, are 5000 years old. Nowhere
else in the world are there living
things so aged. Interestingly enough,
the Sequoias in this world are found
only in California.
Part of their extraordinary age,
says a writer in the Worlds Work,
is due to their own vigor and the
favors of the climate, but part also
to their natural immunities. In most
western forests, and no less SO in
those of the Sierra, many trees are
killed by fire and fungus. The first
eats out, butts or sweeps through
crowns or bakes the soil, and the sec
ond lodges in broken limbs or tops or
scars the bark and gradually rots
backward into the wood; but the Sc
quota, though 1t is very commonly
burned out at the base, has a thick
tibrous bark which is all but fireproof,
and without which the innumerable
visitations of the past would certainly
have destroyed 1t.
In the same way the wood Is prAc-
tically impervious to decay. Fungus
Is said to be unknown to it, and even
old windfalls, burned and SCARED and
exposed to every sort of evil influ-
ence, have lain sound for hundreds of
wears. Individually SeQuoias are in
deed almost imperishable.

months I never went to bed excepting

away, and any little noise would upset
me terribly. I was gradually getting

Fought to Retain
Formula Which Has
Made a Fortune

L. T. Cooper. the man who believes
that 80 per cent. Of all i'll health of
this generation is caused by stomach
trouble, is fast winning national faith
in his theory. His claim is now adj
mitted by surprising number of peo-
pie throughout the country, and he is
gaining new adherents every day.
While speaking of his success in a
recent interview, Mr.. Cooper said: II
believed ten years ago that any one
who could produce a formula that
would thoroughly regulate the stom-
ach would have fortune. When got
hold of this formula knew within six
months that I was right, and that my
fortune was made. l called the med
tcine Cooper's New Discovery, al
though I did not get up the formula.
1 have owned it, however, for over
five years. I have had one lawsuit
over it, which 1 won in the courts.
When it was settled The Cooper
Medicine Company became the only
firm in the world that can prepare
the medicine. The preparation has
sold like wi1dfire wherever introduced.
AS l have said before, it is successful
simply because it puts the stomach
in perfect shape, then nature does
the rest. There are any number of
complaints never before associated
with stomach trouble that the medi-
cine has alleviated in thousands of
cases."
Among statements obtained recent
ly from users of this medicine that Is
arousing such universal discussion is
one from Mrs. Emma Stanley, living in
Chicago, at 713 Washington Boule-
ward, who said: Perhaps l had the
most complicated case that Mr.. Cooper
had to deal with. I was troubled for
years with my stomach. consulted
with doctors and took many patent
medicine preparations without result.
My stomach was in such wretched
shape that I could not enjoy meal
that ate.
II was very nervous, and could hard
ly sleep. l had a roaring in my ears
and dancing spots before my eyes. I
felt very bad and weak. Then there
was very sore spot at the pit of my
stomach that nearly set me wild.
81 heard about the Cooper medicine
and decided to try it. I used four bot.
ties, and the improvement in my case
has been really wonderful. My nerves
have been quieted. and am so much
improved that / feel like new
woman.
81 cannot say too much for these
wonderful remedies, for they have
made me WELL"
