Board OF Forestry.

A bill introduced by Senator Benson
confers more extended powers to the
State Board of Forestry. 1t authorizes
the appointment of forester who has
had not only practical but technical
training, and instead of limiting the
salary to $4,000, permits the board to
fix the compensation. He shall APP
point, subject to the approval of the
board, such assistants as may be
necessary, whose pay shall also be
fixed by the board. Authority is also
given to employ such labor as is neces-
sary to develop and protect State
reserves under their jurisdiction. In
addition to timber culture the practical
utility of water conservation is also
to be demonstrated Provision is also
made for tree planting and care Of
trees.

ELECTRICITY FOR FAT PEOPLE
Intense but Painless Contraction Pro
duced by Method Invented by Pro-
fessor Nagelschmidt.

With the awakening OF scientific
medical men to the great possibili-
tiles offered by electricity, striking de-
velopments are expected The "dia-
thermy treatment" of Professor F.
iNagelschmidt is applied in both medi-
cine and surgery-the medical form
being described as the passing of
electric rays Of high temperature
Through the diseased part, and the
surgical application is bloodless eau
terry in which the current reaches the
tissues through a kind of knife edge.
Two illustrations were lately given by
the inventor Of the process at the
London hospital. The first operation
removed a large blood tumor on the
inside of the cheek, and the second
took away a large patch OF lupus, or
tubercular skin. In the first opera
ton by ordinary means there would
have been risk Of fatal bleeding
while the other cure of the second
case would have required months An
other use of electricity by Professor
Nagelschmidt is in producing intense
but painless muscular contractions,
and. as the spare fat in the tissues is
thus used up, this gives a scientific
process for reducing obesity. 1t is
stated that 500 pounds OF superfiuous
fat has been lost by 10 patients on
whom the treatment has been tried.

SIGN CAME DOWN QUICKLY
But It Was Not at All FIatter-
ing to New Proprietors.

The new proprietors of little can
dy and nut shop in New York were
astonished to notice pedestrians on
the opposite side of the street stop,
gaze at their window for a moment
and then pass on, faces decorated with
broad grins.
This happened so often that one of
the proprietors determined to investi-
gate. He fastened across to the op-
posite pavement. What he saw there
caused him to scurry back to the shop
on the run. Below a large black and
white sign that bore the notice-"This
shop Is under new management" - a
careless clerk had hung an equally
conspicuous sign reading:
New crop of nuts now here"

FRIENDLY TIP.
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of indigestion
and its attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen
orally.
AN. Y. woman writes an interesting
letter. She says:
Three years ago I suffered from an
attack of peritonitis which left me in
most miserable condition. For over
two years l suffered from nervousness,
weak heart, shortness of breath, could
not sleep, etc.
My appetite was ravenous but
felt starved all the time. l had plenty
Of food but it did not nourish me be-
cause Of intestinal indigestion. Medi-
cal treatment did not seem to help. I
got discouraged, stopped medicine and
did not care much whether l lived or
died.
One day a friend asked me why
didn't try Grape-Nuts food, stop drink
ing coffee and use Postum. l had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friend l began to use both and soon
became very fond of them.
1T wasn't long before I got some
strength, felt decided change in my
system, hope sprang up in my heart
and slowly but surely l got better.

To Stop Pot Hunting.

Senator Mudd has prepared a bill
which concerns hunters for game for
commercial purposes. 1t prohibits the
sale within or without the State of
partridges, pheasants and woodcock
killed or otherwise taken within the
boundaries of this State The measure
is along the lines of the New York
game law and has for its object the
breaking up of pot hunting and the
preservation of game birds. There is
no interference with shooting by
sportsmen in season.
UNLESS some such law is passed, -
said the senator, these game birds
will be exterminated Already there
is a scarcity caused by the slaughter
by pot hunters who sell their feathery
victims here and elsewhere"
The law is to apply throughout the
State and at all times.

investigation Showed That Wind
Whipped Particles Against Strands,
Causing Filing Action.

Extending from Cairo to the pyra-
mids Of Gizeh is an electric trolley
line which is used chiefly by tourists.
The trunks Of huge palm trees serve,
as trolley poles to support the over
head conductor, and the contrast be-
tween the modern hurrying motor
cars and the peaceful, centuries old,
tombs Of the Pharaohs holds the in
terest of many a contemplative trav-.
eler. At one side of the trolley con-
ductor on bell shaped insulators are
run the feeders, which like the trolley
wire are OF bright, hard drawn cop
per. After these wires had been in
stalled it was soon found that they in
variably broke and fell within six or
seven months, the cross section being
much reduced at the point of frac-
ture- Investigation showed that the
desert winds which sweep across the
right Of way whip sand particles
against the wires, causing a filing ac-
ton which cuts away the copper much
like an artificial sand blast The
glass globes of arc lamps installed
along the road have exhibited the
same disastrous action. A similar eff
feet is observed with the incandescent
units used to light the way to the,
sphinx. These strings of lamps, be-
sides having to be moved at frequent
intervals to accommodate the vary
ing level of the shifting sands, are
rapidly eaten away by the etching &C
ton Of the desert winds. Thus far no
remedy has been discovered for this
destruction except frequent renewals.
