Loss of Appetite.

Is the first signal of disorder and
decay. The usual loss of appetite
is often caused in functional distur-
Dances in the stomach. The stom-

the appetite is gone, and the body
suffers from lack of nourishmeQt.
Such a stomach needs to be cleaned
and sweetened. Meritol Tonic Di-
gestive is made especially to assist
the stomach to digest food, and pro-
mote a healthy appetite. This re-

CIRCULAR GIVES FOR
EST FACTS AND FIGURES

Striking facts regarding our forest
resources, their value and their
waste, are condensed in an eight-page
illustrated circular of the American
forestry association Just isued. The
$4,000 people, to whom are paid an
nually 1867 100000 in wages, the
worth of products being 1880, ,OOO,-
.000 The forests of the country COW
er 550,000,000 acres.
An average of 20 human lives are
sacrificed annually in forest fires, says
the circular, and a loss occurs of
S25,000,000. Damage from insects
and tree disease, which follow fire,
costs each year $50,000,000. The cost
OF destruction resulting from floods
is not estimated, but is given as
countless millions.''
But the circular expresses hope
more than pessimism. As well as the
colored pictures showing the forest
fire, the effects of the fire, and the
damage caused by floods, il shows al
so forests planted and grown under
intensive management, and the ma
tional forest ranger scouting for
fires on the mountain lookout station.
The effective patrol here referred to
low as one-tenth of one cent an
acre. 1t is pointed out that by
planting forests an annua, income
could be derived in the country of
$4,000, 900; and by preservative
treatment upon timber each year
Sl0O,O00,000 could be saved.
