MUCH LOSS AvERTED.
By Rural Letter Carriers Reporting
Forest Fires.

The post office department has Just
repeated, in the current postal guide
supplement, the instructions through
which rural carriers are TO report forest
fires to the proper authorities during
the coming season. The instructions
were first issued in May. 1912, and dur
ing the past two years the cooperation
has resulted in the detection and sup
preston of many fires.
State and federal forest officers will
make special effort this year to get
even more value out of the service than
has been obtained heretofore, The usual
procedure has been for the state fire
wardens or federal forest officers to send
to the postmasters lists of local wardens
and patrolmen, with their addresses and
telephone numbers These lists are
given to the carriers with instructions
to report forest fires to men whose
names appear thereon, or to other re-
sponsible persons. This year special
effort will be made to follow up the
sending out of the lists by having the
patrolmen and wardens meet the car
riers personally and to take the initia-
tive in arranging such meetings, and
also to map out plan of action to be
followed.
Cooperation between the rural car
riers and the federal forest officers will
be effective in the twenty states in
which national forests exist and with
state forest officers in the twenty states
which have established their own fire
protective systems. 1t is expected that
the services of the carriers will be par
ticularly valuable in helping to protect
tile new national forest areas in the
southern Appalachians.

RIVER DISCOVERY
The National Geographic Society Scores
Foreign Critics of Colonel
Roosevelt.

! Washington, May 6.--Foreign geo
graphical societies may sheer at Colonel
[ Theodore Roosevelt, but the National
Geographic society will fight to the last
ditch in defence of the former pres
ident's claims to having discovered rivers
or anything else lying around loose in
Brazil, or elsewhere.
/ The society is aroused by the scornfui
declarations of A. Savage Lander and
other explorers that the colonel could
not have discovered river not al
ready captured and imprisoned on a
map.
Gilbert III. Grosvenor, director of the
society and editor of the organizations
magazine, stood it as long as he could.
He gives out the following statement:
| The officers Of the society are ready
to accept without question any state
ment that Colonel Roosevelt may make
regarding his explorations and discov-
cries.
Colonel Roosevelt has had 30 years
experience in exploring work, much of
| it in pioneer territory and all of it in
valuable to science, and it is unbeliev-
able that, with his thorough and scholar
ly preparation, he could be misled in
any report he may make of his recent
work in Brazil.
There is no map of the section the
colonel has recently traversed which may
be regarded as a map.
1t is interesting to note that the prom
inent British South American explorer
who has challenged Colonial Roosevelt's
discoveries was for many years the lead
err of group of foreign geographers who
discredited the discovery of the Antarctic
continent by the American naval officer
Wilkes. Practically all of Wilkes dis
coyeries have in recent years been con
firmed by Shackleton, Scott, Drygalski
and Mawson.

either. but she decided to go to the
congress in Belgium because she had
some practical ideas that had come to
her while. as an orphan girl. she was
doing the housework, and much OF the
field work. too, on a farm in Iowa:
and later as school teacher and
ranch woman in Colorado. She had
known bitterest poverty on a farm.
She knew from experience the hard
ness and the loneliness of the life.
She had ideas for tightening the bur
dens of farm women and for making
their lives happier. and she wished to
tell the farm women OF the world
about it.
Just before she departed for the con-
gress in Belgium she pruned with her
own hands 1000 cherry trees on her
farm near Manzanola, and then she
packed her trunk and went.

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Brights disease is one OF the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, il discovered early, SO it is well
to know the early signs of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by q
cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
q dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances Of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney. or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
Of neuralgia. rheumatism, gout, sciat-
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.

DR.. FRIEDMAN SAYS INDIANS ARE HONEST

Indian girl is brave enough to tell the
truth.
THE Indian is moral and instinct

tuition. in sense, but We have less

case were the students white. The In
dian girl is modest II marriage is
uppermost in her mind she does not

Tradition represents the Indian as
being indolent. l say that he is in

1t is supposed to be divided among
civilized people. The husband hunted.
fished and went to war.
THE wife remained at home cooked
the food of the family, and made such
clothing as was customary to be worn.
History is filled with the atrocities
of the Indians. The records we have.
however. were written by their white
enemies. The fighting of civilized ma
tions today is said to be much like the
fighting of the savages which we look
upon with horror. Scalping was in
part a ceremony. Armies all over the
world are now preparing to drop
bombs from the air on their adver-
saries. The Maine was blown up in
Havana. The scalping of man al
ready dead Is. by comparison. a hu-
name performance.
No one has ever heard OF an Indian
mother whipping her children"

MEMBER OF WAsHINGT0NS SENATORIAL SET

1t is not hard to find wives OF promi-
nent men. but 1t is not always the
case that such wife has materially
aided in the accomplishment of that
success. Mrs. Fall has.
And If all this is apparent after an
interview with Mrs. Fall, 1t is not be-
cause she is either boastful or talka-
tive upon the subject. 1t is learned
through little remarks dropped, direct
questions and diplomatic leads.
MY husbands success was not due
to chance" his wife claims. when he
started to practice, the first thought
we had upon taking a case was wheth-
er or not he could win 1t. The ques-
tion of fee was secondary"
That I'VE" was one of the remarks
dropped" and although Mrs. Fall is
not graduate Of law, the expression
was correct. She comes from fam
lily of lawyers. Her father was one.
Her cousin was Augustus H. Garland,
attorney general in Cleveland's cab
met And. 1t can be added, Mrs. Fall
learned to take an active part in help
ing her husband.
When asked the direct question as
to woman's ability to help her hus-
band, Mrs. Fall admitted 1t could be
done, but there were conditions.
"A woman can do much in inspiring
her husband. and can help him. She
Is sure to be of use to him If she takes
an active, intelligent interest in his
work"
That has been her motto. with en-
phasis on the intelligent. and as a re-
suit, 1t is safe to say that few have
been the cases handled by Senator
Fall of which she was ignorant.

CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace in Family.

1t is quite significant, the number Of
persons who get well of alarming
heart trouble when they let up on oof-
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals.
There Is nothing surprising about 1t,
however, because the harmful alkalui2

Postum, which is made Of clean, hard
wheat.
Two years ago l was having SO
much trouble with my heart" writes
a lady in Washington, that at times
felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
"The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something l had been
accustomed to. and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
81 remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart
So ! stopped coffee and began to use
trouble since.
"A neighbor OF ours. an old man.
was SO irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made 1t carefully according to direc-
tons.
"He drank the Postum and did not
know the difference. and Is still using
It to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee is better than 1t
used to be. 30 she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead Of coffee"
