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.
A N. 7. woman writes an interesting
letter. She says:
Three years ago I suffered from an
attack of peritonitis which left me in
a most miserable condition. For over
two years I suffered from nervousness,
weak heart, shortness of breath, could
not sleep, etc.
my appetite was ravenous but I
felt starved all the time. I had plenty
Of food but it did not nourish me be-
cause of intestinal indigestion. MedI-
cal treatment did not seem to help.

did not care much whether I lived or
died.
"one day a friend asked me why
didn't try Grape-Nuts food, stop drink
ing coffee and use Postum. 1 had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friend began to use both and soon
became very fond Of them.
1T wasn't long before I got soma
strength, felt decided change in my
system, hope sprang up in my heart
and slowly but surely got better. ]

Board Of Forestry.

A bill introduced by Senator Benson
oonfers more extended powers to the
State Board Of Forestry. It authorizes
the appointment of a 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 ap-
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.

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.

west of the river are raising
alfalfa, corn and fodder, milk
ing cows, raising horses and
stock and becoming rich. The
dairy industry has saved many
countries and it will make the
western part of this state the
richest and best and most valu-

eventually. Men do not attempt
to farm as they did twenty years
ago. There has been great
revolution in that industry, and
the rich soil Of the vast empire
