SAFETY FIRsT-cHECK THE PRO.
DUcTlON.
(The Southern Lumberman.)

(The Southern Lumberman)
The cyclone of war has burst upon
so suddenly and has produced con-
ditions throughout the world so abso-
lutely unprecedented in all history
that any mans opinion of the effects
on business in any line is as good as
another.
There is nothing to guide us. Moth
ing like present conditions have ever
existed before in the world. No man
knows what may happen even an hour
ahead or what may be it's effect on the
disturbed nations of the world.
Nevertheless, in every emergency
there is always one course safer to
pursue than any other. In the pres
ent crisis it shows itself so conspicu-
ously to lumbermen that no doubt
many have already adopted it and
have resolved to carry it out to its
utmost possibilities until they can see
further.
1t may be stated in few words. 1t
is simply to check production of lum-
Der. Nothing radical will be neces-
sary to effect this. Nobody need get
excited. The only thing necessary is
simply to go slow; to stop cutting
logs, and to plan now to shut down
after what logs are on hand have been
cut up.
No matter what may be the outcome
six months hence, three months hence,
or even thirty days hence, it will be
better for everybody to check the pro-
duction now; better for the banks, and
better for the lumbermen. Especially
is it better for the latter. They will
save their time and good hard labor,
and, more to the purpose yet, good
stumpage, against the time when they
can realize a good price for time,
labor and stumpage.
AS we have said, nobody can tell
what will be the effect of present con-
ditions on business even a few days
ahead. But it is more than likely, in
fact, it is altogether probable, that
for time at least the disturbed sit.
uation will cut off the consumption
of all kinds of lumber in this country
fully 25 per cent.
Export demand is entirely cut off
for the time being. 1t will probably
remain cut off for a number of weeks
at least. That it must be cut off for
some time is inevitable. There is
nobody to buy, no way to get money
here to pay for it if they did buy, and
no way to get the lumber to the man
who buys.
Probably the export consumption of

OF this. Human life is not to be meas

The man who has brought us to our
senses on radium more than any other
one person Is DR.. Howard A. Kelly,
the celebrated Baltimore surgeon. To
him, after Nine. Curie. the woman

marvellous cures by radium.
For ten years DR.. Kelly has been
carefully experimenting on radlum.
For ten years he and his associates
have carefully refrained from public
utterance of a sensational nature. But
now he is convinced Of the power Of
radium in disease.
1t is to save patients by the thou
sand, where he is able to save them
singly in his private hospital at Bal
timore. that has now come forward
He has already Interested many
wealthy men. especially Alfred I. Du
Pont Of Wilmington, Del The latter
has promised to cooperate with DR..
Kelly to combat the disease which
kills 100000 persons every year, 10000
in the United States. and $500 in New
York state alone.
This wonderful remedy is In danger
of being gobbled up by a trust Its
price has already been raised by
monopoly methods.

ALL SORTS OF HINTS.
IDEAS PASSED FROM ONE HOUSE
KEEPER TO ANOTHER.
For Quick Removal Of Ink staIns-To
Curl Feather Properly and Quick
iy-Eeonomical Substitute for
the Ordinary Starch.

To Remove Ink Stains.-Having
found out another method for taking
out ink stains. l pass 1t on to others:
Rub the ink stains on linen with a
ripe tomato cut in half. and the stains
will disappear when the article Is
washed. l also find tomato very good
for taking the ink stains out OF dark
cloth, sponging with cold rain water
after using.
How to Curl q Feather.-f you
would like to know how to curl g.
feather. you win find the following
very good: Sprinkle the feather with
salt, then shake in front of hot fire.
To Preserve Gas Manifesto make
gas nantes last longer and to give
them a more brilliant light when they
are new. find 1t very good to i'm
merse them in glass of vinegar for
al ute, and then hang them up and
thoroughly dry before using.
Baking Hint-Here Is q discovery
which has been Of great help to me:
When making fruit pies. to keep them
from boiling over. make a funnel OF
creased paper and place 1t in the CEN
ter of the pie.
To Clean a Mackintosh.-For clean
ing a macintosh l find the following
method excellent: Dip the garment
first in cold water, then with a scrub
bling brush and yellow soap proceed
to scrub it all over, having spread 1t
fiat on a table. When the dirt Is re-
moved, dip the cloak in repeated wa
tiers until free from suds, but do not
wiring 1t. When finished. hang 1t up
In the air to dry, or In an airy room.
but not near a fire.
To Remove Varnish Stains.-Hav-
ing made a discovery in removing var
nish stains from white goods, l pass
it on to others: Moisten the stain
with ammonia, then put on a few
drops of turpentine and roll 1t up.
When this is finished, leave 1t rolled
up for about Is or 20 minutes. Then
wash out with soapy water. rinsing
well, and dry in the sun.
For the Laundry.-Having discov-
cred a good substitute for starch that
will not stick to the clothes or rot
them. l pass 1t on to others: Wash.
and rinse the clothes as usual, then
rinse In skim milk.
