TIMBER IN HANDS
 OF A FEW OWNERS
Being Held Principally for SpeCuIa-
 tive Purposes.

; Washington, July 13.-Concentra- tion of timber lands in the United States in the hands of a few owners is discussed at length in the second and third parts of the report of the bureau of corporations on the lumber industry, submitted to President Will son today by Commissioner Davies.
 Two men hold forty-nine per cent. of the timber in southwestern Wash ington, the report says; five men hold thirty-six per cent. in western Ore- gon; six have seventy per cent in northeastern California; ten have more than half in the redwood area, and in north central Idaho four hold CTS have fifty per cent.
 "The control of our standing tim- Der in comparatively few enormous holdings, speculatively held far in ad vance of any use thereof, and the great increase in the value of timber, resulting in part from such specula- tive holding, are underlying facts that will become more and more important elements in determining the price of lumber as the supply of timber dimin- ishes, says the report.
 1894 Timber Owners.
 "The main fact shown is that 1894 timber owners hold in fee over one- twentieth of the land area of the entire United States from the Cana dian to the Mexican border Tn many states these 1,694 own no lands at all. Tn the 300 timbered counties investigated they own one-seventh of the area.
 These 1894 holders own 105,600,-
 
 the size of France; or greater than the entire state of California; or more than two and one-half times the land area of the six New England states. Sixteen holders own 47,8O0.- 900 acres, or nearly ten times the land area of New Jersey. Three land grant railroads own enough to give fifteen acres to every male of voting age in the nine western states where almost all their holdings lie.
 "Not all this land is suitable for agriculture. In the south and in the lake states and in part of the west a large portion of it can be used for agriculture after the timber is re- moved; but in many parts of the west the land is mountainous and adapted chiefly to reforestation. Much of the railroad owned land out side the timber regions is arid or mi-arid.
 ''In the upper peninsula of Michi- gan forty-hve per cent. of the land is held, mostly in fee, by thirty-two timber owners. In Florida f1fty-two holders (mostly timber owners) hold sone-third of the land, in the entire state. .. Y, I '.s Few Small Holdings.

FAY EXONERATED.
New York Man Freed of Charge OI
 American Car Company Robbery.

New York, July 13.-James Fay. who was arrested on June at a pool room which was entered by po- lice who were searching for certain persons suspected of connection with the robbery of two employees of the American Can company that occurred the previous day, has been exonerat- ed by police investigation of having any connection with the robbery
 It also appears that the statement that MT. Fay was held for connec- ton with the robbery was incorrect, as the charge against him was the technical one of violation of the Sul- livan law which prohibits the pos- session of weapons. The police in- vestigation gives Fay a clean charac- ter.

ditions were complied with. The government is now attacking some of these grants for alleged violation of the conditions imposed. &
 "The abuse of the general land laws in the past suggests that any lands restored to the public domain by these, or other, forfeiture suits should not be disposed of under the present land laws. To allow such lands to be taken up by private parties before the revision of the public land laws has been completed would be to lose much of the public benefits from their recovery"

Billy Baxter Was Great Favorite for
 His Old "Darky" Songs.

Chicago, July 13.-Billy Baxter, old time minstrel, who had played with nearly all of the leading minstrel companies of America and who had appeared before the royalty of Europe, with his banjo, died in a hospital here last night of cirrhosis of the liver. Born in Cincinnati in 1861 he turned early to the stage where his musical talent soon won him a place among the stars of ministrelsy. He made several tours of the world and on many occasions rulers of Europe re- quested him to play and sing the old "Darky' songs.
 few years ago he retired from the stage. He will be buried under the auspices of the Chicago Press club tomorrow.

Sugar Prevents Digestion.

OneU of > thee important reasons for
avoiding sugar is that when it is pres
ent: in a meal in. any .@appreclable
amount, lit checks: the isecretions OF
the digestive juices, in, the stomach
and thus reduces, the amount of all
the digestive fluids, from the stomach
down. This means that there is 60
ing to be an interference with the di-
gestion of the meal. If you eat con-
siderable amount of sugar with a
meal containing, for instance, meat,
you prevent the secretion of sufficien
digestive fluid to digest the meat;
hence the meat will decompose and
poison you. When sugar is present in
the stomach alone, no digestive fluid
whatever is secreted, so when you
eat candy between meals, it is not
digested

Sugar May Become Poison.

Another reason for avoiding sugar
is that it ferments very easily and IN
the process Of fermentation it be-
comes more of poison than a food.
Furthermore, as the sugar ferments
it sets UP a process in other foods,
and thus change a meal from food
poison.

Sugar Causes Digestive Troubles.

Sugar is frequently the cause, 4
rect or indirect, of many of our diges-
tive disturbances Sugar is an irri-
tant to the mucous membranes OF
the stomach and the bowels, ,and much
more irritating are the disturbances
formed as the undigested sugar fer
ments in the bowels. In this way sug-
ar may cause directly catarrh of the
stomach and intestines, and Indirect
ly it may cause constipation, bilious
ness, and the sluggish liver" Ner-
vousness, rheumatism, catarrh, too
much flesh and too little flesh are
some of the disorders that may be
caused by eating sugar in consider
able amounts.
