OVERLOOK RESPONSIBILITY.

Failure to heed the responsibility which rests upon the individual is con- stantly being revealed as the cause of many large and disastrous fires. The constant urging of fire prevention through the removal of conditions which would overcome an obvious menace is in general recognized as an excellent thing for the other fellow, but there are still too many instances where it fails to receive the proper at tention from those who most need it. This is no better illustrated than by the tenement house fires in Boston and New York, which were accompanied by the loss of eight and eleven lives, and the worst of it is that they were needless.
 While the construction of apartment houses is not liable to receive all the safeguards which are devised for the prevention of fire. it is nevertheless true that many of the fires would be prevented if there was the proper dis position on the part of the tenants, owners or those in charge to guard against them. That piles of rubbish should be allowed to exist in the base ment railways at the foot of stairs or dumb walters is the height, of negi- gence, yet such are the conditions which usually furnish the material for kindling many disastrous fires Rec ognition of the easy means of pre- venting such fires has doubtless re- moved glaring instances of fire danger but it is not necessary to have fire to see that they are not all removed, for that lack of responsibility in keep ing the fire hazard at it's minimum exists in the small as well as the large city, regardless of the long series of profitable lessons

COAL PRODUCTION.

The output of coal last year amount ed to 562 million short tons which In comparison with the o34 million tons of 1912 shows an increase of 2S mill lion, and while it was increasing in volume it also increased in value reaching the aggregate in money ig- ures of $752,0e0. 900. or Q gain of S.4 per cent The increase both as to out put and value applies both to anthra- cite and bituminous coal
 Coal production is a matter in which the general public has been forced to become interested, whether it has any natural concern in that direction or not. Growth and development in every line of production are always closely associated with business progress and are eagerly followed by many, but for the great army of householders what ever concerns coal concerns them. Thus when it is announced that there was more coal mined during the past year than in any previous year in the coun- try's history it naturally causes the consumer to look for results since lack of production and wage difficulties have in the past been the great excuses for high prices. When it has not been one it has been the other which has had it's influence upon the bill which the consumer has to foot and while the large production the past year would seem to indicate favorable conditions in that direction there still remains the matter of wage agreements to cause anxiety particularly in the bitumtnous field. The happy combination of large production and settled wage condi- tions have long been watched for in vain. They mix no better than oil and water.

Regular Bowel Movement From Infancy lnsures Good

We cannot all start life with the ad- vantages of money, but every child
 born is entitled to the heritage of good
 health. Through unfortunate ignor-

 a baby it's tiny stomach may become deranged. The disorder spreads to the
 bowels and before the mother realizes it the two chief organs on which the infants comfort and health depend are
 causing great suffering. If the con- dition is allowed to continue grave ail- ments often result.

OVERCOMING WASTE LAND.

Just at the present time forestation and reforestation are arousing much interest in the state of Massarflu- setts where all the trees that can be planted this spring have been of- Tered by the forestry department for use in the betterment of cape lands. This is the result of an ap- preciation of the value of forests and the loss which is sustained through the decrease in wooded tracts. Every state has sections which are ;n un- satisfactory condition, but which can be reclaimed and which can be turned to profit through the adoption of for estry methods. In many instances. and such is true of almost every town. lands which have been cut over are Of little or no value except to continue them in the same line of production. To leave this to nature alone means uncertain and less profitable results ana encourages an indefinite time fo. development
 Forestation can do for the denuded and uninlproved lands what the appli- cation of scientific farming can do for the rundown and unproductive farms. It means that proper attention will be given to the needs of the situation, that business methods will be applied to getting results instead of letting things go along in the happy go lucky sort of way which never shows progress and which leaves large portion of prop erty detriment rather than a help to the owner. The encouragement of the best possible returns from the wood lands means the elimination of vast amount of waste, and what Massachu- setts is doing in this direction is only what every other state should take cognizance of and profit by.
