BUT LITTLE LOSS
IN FOREST FIRES
NATIONAL FORESTS SUEFEl;
COMPARATIVELY LITTLE
THROUGHOUT SEASON.
Real Danger Season Extends From
Middle of June Until Middle Of Sep
tembcr-Forest OFFICERS Through
out the West Gratified Over Fa-
Vorable Season.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.-With the
middle of September the fire season
on the national forests has come prac-
tically to an end with less damage
than ever recorded. There is always
some danger from carelessness of
campers or of settlers burning brush
and clearing land, but the real danger
season extends only from the middle
of June until the middle of Septem-
Der.
Forest officers throughout the west
are congratulating themselves on a
season so markedly free from heavy
losses. They feel that the immunity
from loss has been due to two prin-
cipal causes partly to favorable sea-
son. but largely to a much better or
SANITATION for fire prevention than
has been attained heretofore. The
effectiveness of the organization is
shown particularly by the fact that
while there were in all approximately
2.26O fires as against 2,i70 last year
vet the area burned so far this year Is
only about 10000 acres as against
| ESQ. 600 acres in 1912, and 100000 In
| 1911.
4 single administrative district
/ which covers the intermountain re
gion of southern Idaho, western Wy
oming, Utah, Nevada, and western
! Arizona, gives an example of the mos
favorable situation. Only 4S fire
were encountered. 30 of which origi
mated in Idaho. The total area burn
ed over amounted to only $50 acres
which is considerably less than fou
one hundred -thousandths of the tota
area patroled by forest officers il
these safes.
California, Arizona, and New Mex
leo have suffered most during tn
Fast season.
The various causes of fires have no
changed greatly in their relative pro
portions Railroads and lightning hea
the list. with campers next. Their
has been. however, a marked decreaS
in the number OF fires caused b
burning brush, which according to tn
forest officess, indicates a closer &C
operation with the settlers in and nea
the forests and with timberland own
ers in fire prevention and control.
is still true, nevertheless, that larg
proportion of all fires started are du
to human agencies and may general
be charged against carelessness. Fir,
caused by lightning are of course nt
preventable. but the system of lool
outs by which they may be detecte
immediately after being set is great
lessening the loss from this source.

This is most wonderful external nelp

the tissues, makes them plant to readily
yield to natures demand for expansion
so there is no longer a period of pain, DIS
comfort, straining, nausea or other symp-

weeks of expectancy.
Mothers Friend prepares the system for
the coming event, and its use brings COM

of S. S. S., psoriasis entirely disap-
peared and there was never again the
slightest sign of it.
Like nearly all skin diseases. pso-
riasis is primarily due to impaired
blood
The skin is but network of fine
blood vessels. And it is a perfectly
natural consequence that any influence
in the blood that is a condition OF Ill
health makes it's first appearance IN
the skin. There is one ingredient IN
S. S. S. which peculiarly stimulates
cellular or glandular activity to select
from the blood or from this fine net
work of blood vessels in the skin, those
elements which it requires for re-
generation.
Thus pimples, acne, eczema, lupus,
or any other blood condition that at
tacks the skin or seeks an outlet
through the skin, is met with the an
tidotal effect of S. S. S.
This is why skin troubles vanish SO
readily and why they do not return.
You can get S. S. S. in any drug
store, but insist upon having it. TAKE
no chance by permitting anyone 10

to put aside the host of doubts and

sisters Nash-with George Fairfax

two nights which had spent in Lon

1t became clearly impressed upon
my mind that this mans life was
coveted by some one who, for mo-

to aim at It's destruction. 1t did not
