Names logging industry 20 years
ago seemed on the decline. The es-
tablishment of mills changed that To-
day logs have advanced so per cent.
IN value and wages are higher than
at any other time since the days i'm
mediately following the Civil war.
When the first pulp mills were built
in Maine the lumbermen regarded
them merely as a convenient market
Tor the smaller trees that we're not fit
for lumber These logs we're called
pulp wood" and were looked upon
with contempt by all hands. including
the river drivers who navigated them
to the boom. The little logs would
not bear the weight OF a man and
were productive of many cold bath
for those who handled them.
Nowadays it is very different The
pulp manufacturers no longer depend
upon the little logs, but Gull out the
large trees. leaving the smaller ones
to grow and furnish crop in future
years.
From a small proportion of the total
cut of logs, the pulp stock" has now
increased so that on some rivers it
equals and on other IL exceeds that of
the logs cut for the sawmills. In
Maine the harvest for the pulp mills
will reach the enormous total of $780,
000, 900 feet this winter. The amount
cut-for the sawmills viii not be far
from 4OO.OOO,0oO.
In every department Of the lumber
industry rapid progress is being made
In methods and in appliances. In the
old times no one ever thought Of send
ing men to the woods until snow had
fallen. Now the crews that do the pre-
liminary work are sent up river in Au-
gust. and large proportion Of the
men are on the ground long before
snow comes, making roads and telling
timber. which in fairly smooth regions
is dragged to the yards at the time of
the year.
In the old times the men were

Poison Caused By Fatigue

Another interesting point about this
poison is that it is not simply the car
bonic acid gas which is familiarly
known to be one Of the main products
OF tissue waste; and still another is
that 1t does not circulate in the blood
that is. that it does not appear in the
blood-current. but is found in the
juices about and through all the mus
cles after exercise or work.
During hours of rest and sleep the
poison is being rapidly worked on by
the system, being eliminated by the
kidneys. and probably by the liver, too.
but especially by the lungs in the
good. long. deep breathing of sound
sleep. Loss OF sleep makes one feel

RULE OF REASON IN DIVORCE
Kentucky Judge Uses the Solomon
Plan In untyIng a Matrimonial
Knot.

Louisville, Ky.-Solomon's rule of
reason was invoked in divorce court
here in unraveling knot of conflict
ing evidence. when John and Margaret
Wetzelberger, who had lived together
thirty-fve years and reared dozen
children. both applied for decree.
All the girls In the family allied them
selves on the side of their mother;
the boys were divided.
In granting decree to Mrs Wetzel-
berger, the court said 1t was his opin-
ion that daughters, as a rule. have a
better opportunity to know the condi-
tion in family" and he deemed II
inconsistent with the woman's long
years of faithfulness in rearing the
large family needlessly to abandon her
husband, as charged. or to falsely ac-
cuse him of cruelty.
