Forest Fires Do Little Damage

About average weather danger to
contend with, but total destruction
of timber by fire of only about mill
ion feet worth less than $4,000, against
the previous lowest record of 26 mill
ion feet in 1911, is the record Of the
Pacific coast forest protective associa-
tons which patrol over 90 million acres
from the Montana Rockies to northern
California, containing a fifth of the ma
TONS entire timber supply, according
to reports compiled to-day by the
Western Forestry & Conservation AS
ISOLATION for the season up to Septem-
Der 80, usually considered the end OF
serious fire danger. State and govern
ment protective agencies report equal
success. There has been practically
no loss in the national forests. Dam
age to logs and camp equipment by
slashing fires is also the lowest on re-
cord, being estimated at $4,000.

YOU CAN'T EAT
APPETITE POOR

Multitudes OF people lose their
appetite. Simply don't care for any
thing to eat. The dinner bell has no
interest to them. They loathe their
breakfast. They may nibble a little
OF this and a little Of that, but they
do not care for il.
Lunch has lost all OF its charms.
although they try to eat something
Dinner about the same.
There is something positively
wrong. Of course. but no disease that
can be named. Just out OF sorts
That is ALL
1t is in this kind Of q condition
that Peruna acts very beneficially
After using Peruna. interest in food
is revived. Beginning with a tea
spoonful of Peruna before each meal
will generally quickly improve the
appetite and help the digestion.
Thousands of people can testify to
this. Liberated from a slavery that Is
almost unbearable. The slavery OF
having no interest in life. All used
up. Yet one does not know exactly
why. Take Peruna before each meal.
Skies will get blue again. Fields will
look green once more and life will
be pleasant. You will feel that you
are good for something and the world
Is a good place to live in. Peruna
will do it. Not as an artificial slim
ulant. Simply tonic that stimulates
appetite in a natural way.
Those who object to liquid medi-
eines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

IMPORTANCE OF GOOD COWS
Poor Boarders Should Find No Room
on Any Dairy Farm-Plenty Of
Wholesome Food Needed.

None but good cows should be toler-
ated on the dairy farm. 1t does not
pay to have poor boarders. A COW that
Is well fed and cared for should pro-
duce 5000 pounds of milk con-
tanning 80 per cent. of butter fat. or
should make $50 pounds OF butter per
year.
The milk should be weighed at least
one day each month. and test made
for butter fat. This is the only accu-
rate way Of making comparisons
and finding out what the herd rs do
ing individually The COW stable
should be well lighted. veil ventil-
ated and kept clean. Give the cows
plenty of wholesome food. 1t is the
poorest economy to stint them either
In the matter of food or water Also
see that the salt is always accessible
to the cattle.
There is no.nicer place to milk cows
than in well-kept stable. Do 1t
quickly, cleanly and thoroughly. Cows
do not like unnecessary noise or de-
lay. Begin milking at the same
hour, night and morning. and
milk the cows In the same or
der. Wipe the cows TANKS and
udder to prevent loose dirt and
hairs falling into the milk Do not wet
the hands with milk A practice to be
recommended Is rubbing a little vas
cline on the hands. This keeps the
teats in nice condition and oyercomes
the objection nome have to milking
with dry hands. Nothing tends more
Yeauliy to drying uD the milk flow

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-James J. Hill
and Frank a. Vanderlip. were speak
ers Thursday night at the banquet
that closed the convention OF the In
vestment Bankers association of
America. Each sounded a note of
warning 10 the business interests of
the country.
MIR. Hill, whose subject was, Rail-
road financing OF the future" declar-
ed that the country is water-logged
with bonds. Confidence cannot be
restored" he said, until the name
bond has won back something Of its
old standard"
Mr.. Vanderlip said that congress
was in danger of saddling on the
country a ruinous policy Of fiat mon
ey. The senate, he said, was hesitat-
ing and fearful OF doing anything
against the wishes OF the house.
Mr.. Vanderlip speaking OF the
pending banking legislation said:
1.-The fatal defect of the Glass bill
is that 1t starts the country on an is
sue OF fiat currency. The notes pro-
posed are fiat notes. They have no
reserve, whatever, provided by the
government and they are to be lent
without limit to a number Of banks.
There is no case in all history
where a nation has started on an is
sue of fiat money that the result has
not been u complete breakdown of the
financial system of that country"
Mr.. Vanderbilt urged, instead of re-
gional banks, a single central bank
| owned by the people and under gov
eminent control Regional banks
were dangerous, as the same climate
and crop stresses would affect the en-
! tire region, bringing too heavy a
strain on the resources of the bank.
Competition for reserves among re-
gional banks and forced investment
/ by National banks in regional bank
securities were also fatal objections
