GENTLY ASSISTING nature

Those who find their breath bad in the
morning, bad taste in the mouth, a
coated tongue, mean feeling in the
head, will do well to try Pinklets, the
new laxative.
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. 1t is a condition which,
if not corrected, becomes chronic.
Even chronic constipation can be cor
rected by care in the diet and persistent
treatment with a gentle laxative.
The use of harsh laxatives, unfortun..
ately so common, gives temporary relief
but in the end a.gravates constipation.
Pinklets are dainty, sugar-coated pills,
hardly larger than a mustard seed and
they act gently, causing no nausea or
gripping. They aid digestion and are
good after-dinner pill, especially when
more food has been taken than the needs
of the body require. They clear away the
waste and prevent CONGESTION. With a
little persistence, which the result is well
worth, they really correct chronic con-
stipation. -,
Your druggist sells Pinklets or they will
be sent, postpaid, on receiit of price, 70
cents per bottle, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. Send

FOREST NOTES.

Wireless telegraphy is used in Canada
in reporting on forest fires.
The best excelsior is made from bass
wood, or linden. Aspen and cottonwood,
however, supply nearly half of the total
amount manufactured.
The King of England has given permits
sion to have a part of the royal estate
placed at the disposal of the school of
forestry at Cambridge University for
purposes of experiment and demonstra-
ton
William Penn, in his Charter of Rights,
provided that for every five acres of
forest cleared one acre should be left in
woods. Foresters today maintain that
on an average one.fifth of every farm
should be in timber.
Recent experiments indicate that
round timbers of all the pines, of Engel-
mann spruce, Douglas fir, tarnarack,
and western larch, can be readily treat
ed with preservatives, but that the frs,
hemlocks, redwood, and Sitka spruce, in
the round, do not take treatment easily.
This information should be of value to
persons who contemplate preservative
treatment of round posts, poles, or mine
props.
AS many as II different kinds of wood
are used in the manufacture of umbrella
handles, canes and whips in this country.
Authentic records show that cinders,
from a forest fire in the tree tops in
northern Washington this fall, were
carried a distance of twenty miles.
According to the latest available fig
ures, Pennsylvania stands fifth in the
production of wood pulp and is second to
West Virginia in the amount of slabs and
other sawmil waste used for pulp. Maine
stands third.
The better wood engravings are made
almost exclusively of lockwood, and the
large blocks are made of small pieces
glued together The engraving IS done

cote models. These have the style and
dash always associated with military
models, yet developed in quiet dark tones
they are not too pronounced for general
wear. Clothes trimmed with the pushes
that so closely initiate Broadtail and AS
trachan, are among the most popular
styles, while braid trimmings of all sorts
are lavishly employed for these gar
ments. Velvets and pushes and all the
ribbed cloths with velvet finishes are in
excellent vogue, making coats dressy
enough for almost any occasion, yet
practical for more arduous wear as we'll.
Innings are in matching tones, vivid con-
trasts or figured materials, brocades or
printed silks. 1t is all matter of fancy,
but for conservative wear the matching
or slightly contrasting lining lasts best.
TINsEL TRIMMINGS.
Tinse trimmings are decidedly modish
and often give just the needed relief to
too sombre effect, but these, like the
jets now so popular, must be used with
discretion or they are the reverse of at
tractive, for nothing looks so garish and
cheap as overdone ornament, especially
in metals. Braids are used in every
form, from the popular tailored bindings
to elaborate patterns wrought in fine
soutache directly on the material. Vests,
collars and cuffs, braided in pretty con-
trasting colors are among the most sue
cessful and inexpensive garnitures for
suits and costumes, if one does the
braiding at home, though like all hand
work, such pieces are expensive to buy.

"THE SPIRITS WORK. "

1t is surely an illustration where some
thing like to giant oak has grown up
from the planting of "little mite of an
acorn" The man who is responsible
for 1t all-good or bad, as the result may
be-is Hon. Job Herrick Montgomery
of Camden, Maine, who was born
upon Montgomery farm" across Penob-
scot bay from beautiful Camden among
the rugged rocks of Penopscot, Maine,
where so many other good men and beau
tiful women were born.
1t may be confessed here that Hon.
Job Montgomery of Camden IS respon-
sible for most of it-just now the ut"
being the beautiful little green-andgold
booklet, which has gone forth into the
world as 1.-The Spirits Work."
One can hardly praise or blame Mr..
Montgomery for having been born when
and where he was; or for writing some
very good verses about his birthplace.
Mr.. Montgomery never dreams his
birthplace will become shrine for pill
grims to visit-he practical, nonpoetic
"decent married man" who was never
conspicuous for any immortality or other
remarkable eccentricity, save that of be-
ing good citizen and paying his taxes
when they became due.
| What else than write verses could a
citizen, born under the Montgomery en-
vironment do? Across the bespangled
loneliness of Penobscot bay, under the
alluring beauties of the Camden noun
tains, scenery which has called Million
aire Curtis and Mr.. Edward Box from
the pursuit of millions in Philadelphia tt
the pastoral ease of Camden, Maine
does one wonder why Job Montgomery
now and then just has to spill verses
from the point of his quill?-Bangol
