Tremendous Increase In Con-
sumption of Late Years.
Methods Of Cutting Are So Wasteful
That Exhaustion Is Within Meas
urable Distance, According
to London Times.

London.-An article in the London
Times concerning the worlds supply
Of timber and its wasteful handling is
attracting much attention. According
TO the figures given, the situation is
rapidly growing serious. The Times
says:
The savants Of all nations have
been foretelling for years the ap-
preaching extinction of the world s
forest reserves, but, with one or two
exceptions, little apparent effect has
been produced on the policy of govern
uent respecting afforestation.
There may now be said to be only
six countries in a position to supply
unlimited quantities Of merchantable
timber, namely, Russia Qncluding Fin
land), Austria-Hungary, Norway and
Sweden in Europe, and Canada and
the United States in America.
"Of these the reserves in the United
States, Russia proper and Austria
Hungary are now seriously threatened
by the rapid growth of their own re-
luirements consequent on the natural
Increase Of the population, while in
Norway the reaping of the timber crop
has been so Wasteful as to bring ex-
hausion within measurable distance.
The resources of Finland are still
large, as are also those Of Sweden,
while Canada now represents the
worlds greatest reserve.

countries, with large surplus avail

New York Hotels Are Forced to En-
large Accommodation for Aft
ernoon Parties Of Women.

New York.-The increasing popu-
larity of the English custom Of drink
ing afternoon tea among New York
women has forced the big hotels, one
after another to devote special rooms
to that purpose. The new Hotel Mar
Unique has announced that one room
with a seating capacity Of $50 per
sons will be open for tea from to 6
o'clock every afternoon.
1t has been said by some Of those
opposed to the custom that the popu-
larity of afternoon tea was due to the
fact that 1t enables those who prefer
something stronger to have the insidi-
Gus cocktail or the popular highball
served in a cup instead Of attracting
attention by taking the liquor out Of
the ordinary glass. However that
may be, the big hotels serve hun
dreds of their patrons with tea daily,
and especially on Saturday after
moons, after the matinee.
Many of the large hotels, like the
Waldorf-Astoria, Plaza, Astor, Knick-
erbocker and Manhattan, have music

Prof. Hawk, Director Of Department
of Physiological Chemistry, Gives
Results Of Interesting lnVes-
tlgatlon.

Champaign, Ill.-Dr. P. B. Hawk
finds that by an extensive series OF in
Vestigation Of nutrition problems, the
University of Illinois leads all the col
ieges in the United States. Hawk is
director of the department Of physio-
logical chemistry Of that institution.
He has made q thorough investigation,
and feels that the series Of expert
ments on drinking water at meal
times, and on fasting, have not been
eoualed by any rival institution. The
tests conducted here were to deter
mine the influence Of water on the di-
gestive systems Of animals, and to de-
termine the influence of a complete
withdrawal of food from the animal
organisms for periods Of various
lengths. The fasting experiments were
conducted both with animals and men.

conducted. Some Of the results fol-

Economy Board to Save Millions

THE economy and efficiency board if
i beginning to get results. II has
reached a point in its labors where II
thinks It foresees where a million dol
lars may be saved during the first year
Of its existence.
At present It is devoting its atten'
tions largely to the item Of travelling
expenses of government employees and
to the duplication Of work in the de.
partments. The president and the mem
bers of his cabinet we're surprised to
learn from this board that the travel.
Ing expenses charged against the treas.
ury last year aggregated about $12,-
100000.
Just how much this enormous sum
can be reduced without crippling the
public service in the least is still a
question, but the members Of the econ
omy and efficiency board are conf
dent that a great saving can be made.
The heads of the executive depart
ments have received instructions TO
pare travelling expenses wherever pos
sible. This order is applicable to the
war and navy departments, as we'll as
to all other departments of govern
ment
OF course, the largeness Of the item
for travelling expenses is due in great
measure to the laws under which men
in the navy and in the army, either
as officers or privates, receive travel
allowances. The travel expenses of
the department of agriculture and
the department of the interior are
also necessarily heavy, and the same

SUPPLY OF TIMBER

able for export, are Australia Hungary
| with which may be coupled Bosnia
and HorzegoYina), Russia including
Finland), Sweden and Norway. From
all Of these countries, with the excep-
ton Of Austria Hungary, Great Britain
imports largely Of timber for construc-
tional purposes, and our interest in
the depletion Of their forest reserves
is no mere academic one"
By far and away the largest forest
reserve in Europe is in Russia and
Finland, which have between them
over 500,000,000 acres under timber.
Austria-Hungary comes next, but a
long way behind, with 50,000,000 acres.
Sweden following with 4S,000,000
acres, Germany with 100000 acres,
France with 2S,OOO,OOO acres, Spain
with 20,000,000 acres, Norway with IT,
100000 acres and Italy and Bulgaria
each with 100000 acres.
The eyes of the world are now d.
rected to North America in their
search for future timber supplies. The
area Of land under forest in the United
States is prodigious. The total
amounts roughly to 70O,0O0,O0O acres,
Of which nearly 15O,O0O,OOO acres are
under state management or control.
Estimates naturally vary widely as
to the actual reserves Of merchantable
timber, the government census of 1900
putting the stand at 1890, 100000, 900
feet board measure, while two years
later DR.. R. E. Fernow Of Toronto,
Canada, estimated It at 1000, 100000
900 feet.
This latter figure was substantially
corroborated by the American Lumber
men of 1905, but a conservative esti-
mate by a well-informed correspond
ent, which appeared in the Times at
the. close of 1908, put is at 100000,
600, 900 feet.

Shoddy in Much Less Demand

greater part of this increase took
place during the second half Of the
decade; in fact, the increase of over
500, 100000 in the five years since
1904 is far greater than that Of any
decade prior to 1900 in the history
of the industry.
The quantity of wool consumed, in
condition purchased, increased from
330,179,O0O pounds to 474,751, 900
pounds, or A per cent; reckoned on
a secured wool basis, the increase was
so per cent. The quantity Of raw cot
ton consumed decreased from 40,245,-
900 pounds to 2O,O55,00 pounds, or
so per cent, while the amount Of
cotton yarn purchased increased
from 35,343,0O0 pounds to 39,169,0 900
pounds, or II per cent. The net re-
suit is a decided decrease in the
amount of cotton used as a material
BIZ wool manufacturers.
The figures also show a marked de.
crease in the use of shoddy. The
quantity purchased decreased 35 per
cent. and the amount manufactured
in woolen mills for use therein fell
of 10 per cent.
This is explained by the fact that
the manufacture Of worsted fabrics,
into which shoddy does not enter as a
material to any appreclable extent,
has increased enormously, while the
quantity Of woolen fabrics in which
shoddy is utilized was actually less
In 1909 than in 1899.

laws which permit officials and en-

the government did not spring up un-
der the present administration. I'm
der the preceding administration no

The injunction that has gone out
simply is that travel pay must not be

necessary.

was created, instructions went out to

ments to curtail travelling expenses
wherever possible. Under that gen.
eral order a considerable saving was
effected during the first two years Of
this administration, but the economy
and efficiency board thinks 1t sees
how a still greater saving may be
brought about.

AN AID TO DIGESTION

low: The influence of the withdrawal
Of food is much less pronounced the
second time than in the first fast. Re-
peated fasting, if properly regulated,
may possess important curative quail
ties.
The fat of the food is more efficient
ly digested and absorbed when water
is taken at meal time. When water is
introduced in the stomach with the
food there is brought about an in
creased flow Of gastric juice, thus
causing the protein constituents to be
more thoroughly digested.
The pancreas works much more eff
ciently when water is taken at meal
time The better digestion of the food
eaten is due directly, at least in part,
to the increased functional activity
of the pancreas.
Nitrogen partition Of two men
through seven-day fasts, following the
prolonged ingestion Of low protein
diet, brought interesting results. After
the second day the men experienced
no hunger. 1t was further found that
