LAXATIVE FOR OLD
PEOPl.E-CASCARETS
WHAT GLASSES ARE TO WEAK
EYES, CASCARETS ARE TO
WEAK BOWELS-A 1o-CENT
BOX WILL TRULY AMAZE You.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
tion is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people 10
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are
less elastic. And the bowels are mus
cles.
SO all o!d people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much os at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be con-
stanug used without harm. The only
such tonic is Cascarets and they cos.
only 10 cents per box at any drug
store They work while you sleep.

which to build a railroad. Usually
purchasers must begin operating the
year OF purchase and cut a stipulated
amount each year
The latter provision is simply an
example of a fundamental principle
that is applied to all forest timber
sales. The primary object is de
scribed as being not profit for the
government but benefit to the public.
Nowhere is the policy a strictly conf
norcial one The conditions Of eat
tlrg are carefully prescribed from
the standpoint of present as well as
future needs. The highest bid for the
contract may be rejected, and is re-
jected if it appears that to give the
bidder the contract would tend to
facilitate timber monopoly and so
subject the consumer to a hardship.
In other words, the government for
esters consider that they should not
only make the forests grow as fast
as possible but also make them as
useful as possible to the public.

BUR|ES HIS CHILD
WITHOUT SERVICES
A kENTCkY MAN S CHILD is IN.
TERED IN A RUDE PINE
BOX.

Can man be punished for failing
to provide a Christian burial for his
deceased infant child? In the re-
cent case of Seaton Y. Commonwealth,
l49 Southwestern Reporter, S7l, de
fendant was convicted on such
charge, and appeals to the court of
appeals of Kentucky, A child of de-
tendants having died, he set about
to bury it. Taking some pieces Of
rough board, he made a rude box to
serve as coffin. Although he had
good lumber out of which lie could
have made a better and more pre-
sentable box, he said that he did not
propose using his good lumber for
this purpose. The box was taken to
a point in a woods lot, and a grave
was dug by two neighbors about
two feet deep. Defendant brought
the corpse from the house in a
small paper box, to where the grave
was being dug, placed it upon the
ground, and assisted in digging the
grave. When completed, the paper
box with the corpse in il was placed
in the wooden box and lowered The
grave was then filled to level with
the surrounding ground, defendant
assisted by tramping the dirst
as it was being put back into
the grave. No services of any kind
were held at the grave. DO these
facts constitute a crime? The courts
holds that it was the right of de
fendant to select the place where his
child should be buried ana he VIC.
lated no law or duty in selecting
spot in the woods, rather than in n
cemetery There is no rule of law
defining how corpse shall be
dressed for burial or the character

should be inclosed, or the material
out of which the box shall be made.
or the depth of the grave; nor is it
an offense not to notify relatives
and friends so that they may be
present at the interment, for they
have no legal right to be present.
There is no law imposing upon
those having in charge the burial of
the dead any duty to have the in
terment accompanied with religious
ceremony. The court concludes
with the following: at was no
doubt the extremely miserly and
disposition manifested BY
appellant that aroused the indigna-
tion of his neighbors, causing the
Indictment and ultimately induced
the jury to assess the fine against
him which it did. While, by the |
facts in the record, appellant is

! Chattanooga, Tenn, April 7.-Some
twenty-five years ago the keeper of
a hotel on Lookout mountain at which
! al notable tourists stopped while
visiting the mountain, kept a book
in which he secured autographic me-
mentos and brief opinions of the pan
oramic view from the point of the
mountain. He kept this up for a
number of years, and collected quite
number of signed verdicts from
people who had travelled over the
world. These people and the hotel
are gone, but the landscape is still
there 1t may be seen by visitors to
the Confederate reunion here May 81
30 without cost above the price of
car fare to and from the mountain.
One of the most generous tributes
paid to this scenery from the pon
of lookout came from Mrs. Langtry,
the noted singer. She declared that
1T is surprisingly beautiful-with-
out a serious rival in all Europe
EX-President Roosevelt, the most rest
less and impetuous man in America,
visited Chattanooga while president
led the 7th cavalry at Fort Oglethorpe
a mad chase over Chickamauga park,
and later ascended Lookout mountain.
Pausing for breath on top of the
mountain, he took a good long look
at the panorama and exclaimed, "My
my, how grand" He added that he
had seen nothing in the Rocky noun
tains that was finer.
Henry NJ. Stanley, the African ex-
p,orer, standing on Point Lookout,
said This is the most magnificent
view in the world Prince Henry Of
Prussia, exclaimed: This is magnifi-
cent; there is nothing in all Europe
that is finer" George Bancroft, the
eminent historian, at the age of 81,
said of it: "In all my travels | have
never seen any scene to exceed its
sublime grandeur This wonderful
panorama with its splendid variety
of scene and intense historical inter
est, is visited by people from all parts
of the world. The seven states to be
seen are: Tennessee, Georgia, Ala
bama, North Carolina and Virginia.
Visitors to the Confederate reunion
here May 27-29 will be conveyed to
Lookout mountain on pleasure trips. |
This is the most historic mountain |
in the United States. The famous
battle of Lookout mountain was the |
first skirmish in the fighting around |
Chattanooga, in the fall of 1868. This |
battle was fought on bench of the |
mountain some distance below the |
summit. The hardest fighting was
around the Cravens house, a private
residence before the war OF a gentle
man by that name. This house has !
been preserved by the r0rernment |
in practically its original form. A
number of handsome monuments
have been erected on this field.
The Confederate forces engaged in
this battle numbered not more than
? 500 at any time, while the Federal
force was about 10000. The attack
by the Federals, however, was one Of
he boldest acts of the war, so con-
,eded b. leaders of tie Confederate
army.
The battle of Lookout mountain is
known as the battle above the

!: MORE NATIONAL FOREST {;
:: TIMBER FOR SALE. 8


:! !: {: . u q u !: u " " " T"
Washington, April THE Forest
service has just begun to advertise
the twelfth large lot OF National For
est timber offered for sale within
the past nine months. Altogether it
has advertised since July /, 1911, the
beginning of the present fiscal year,
about 2,5O0,000,000 feet, and has clos
ed contracts for the sale of 100, ,OOo,-
000 feet. The latest advertised sale
is of approximately 52,0OO00O feet
Of saw timber in the Rainier National
Forest, about 50 miles from Tacoma.
In offering National Forest timber
for sale the government first makes
an estimate of the quantity of tim
ber on an area which would natur-
ally form a single logging unit, and
which offers attractive opportunities
for the lumberman. The probable
cost of logging and manufacturing by
a capable lumberman is then esti-
mated. In the basis of these esti-
mates, combined with tie figures for
market values and freight charges
the timber is appraised and then
advertised for sale, with the apprais-
ed value as a minimum price.
The minimum prices set for the
Rainier timber vary from 80 cents TO
$3.50 per thousand feet according
to the kind Of timber. These are
stumpage prces-that is, the purchas-
er buys the trees on the stump and
does all the logging, but pays accord
ing to the board foot measure of the
logs. The government aims to allow
the manufacturer a liberal profit on
the basis that numbering involves a
good deal of business risk, and the
minimum stumpage prices are fixed
Often, however, compet-
tive bids raise the price above the
advertised minimum.
One fthe provisions of the contract
which the successful bidder for the
Rainier timber will enter into will
be that if market prices advance ma
terially the governments chief for
ester may, after the sale has run
three years, require a reasonable re-
of the stumpage prices |
up to an added 50 cents per thouS |
and. The object of this stipulation is |
to prevent loss to the government
that is, to the publiC-and and an |
Undue profit to the purchaser through !
ong-term contracts entered into on
A rising market. Provision against |
such speculative profits is regarded |
rs especially necessary in view of the
ong-term sales now sometimes made
o get purchasers for large bodies Of
inaccessible timber.
For the Rainier sale the cutting
period allowed is only five years,
since the quantity of timber involved
approximately 100000 board feet
does not call for an extended oper-
tion. One national forest sale made
his year was for 00,000,0 900 board
eet and the purchasers were allowed
