A Imminent has just one use-to stop in
flammation. Some of these troubles are:
Muscular rhematism and pains in any
Of the muscles or sinews, cramps, colds,
sore throat, bruises, chaps, chilblains,
lameness, lumbagO, sore muscles, peu-
ralgia, sprains, strains, lame back, stiff
neck, and so on.
Old Doctor Abner johnson, q Maine
doctor, had q recipe for Q IMMINENT that
was q wonder. 1t seemed to get right at
the seat of the trouble and stop pains
quick. It was such q mighty good lini-
ment that people recommended it to one
another, until now they sell it most
everywh here that medicines are sold. 1t is
called Johnson's Anodyne Liniment.
Probably you've heard OF it before, but
maybe you didn't know it was q doctors

THE PROTECTING FOREST.
Important Part Trees Play In Prevent.
ina Serious Floods.

ing SERIOUS FLOODS.
1t has been shown that forests pre-
vent the rapid melting of ice and snow
and thus avert or modify floods in the
spring. Mountains also play an impor-
tant part with regard to floods. By in
tercepting drifting currents of moisture
laden air mountains are active agents
in precipitating rainfall, and unless
they are protected by forests the wa
tiers pour down into the valley in de-
structive torrents. The evergreen
trees, particularly the spruces, are es-
pecially useful in controlling these tor
rents Under all spruce forests there Is,
large deposit Of what woodsmen call
duff" This is composed of partially
decayed trees, bark, needles, cones and
MOSES.
This duff varies from one to six,fee
in thickness and has the power Of alb
sorbing and holding water like a
sponge. During the heavy spring rains
it becomes thoroughly saturated with
water, which gradually oozes down the
mountain sides into the streams in
summer The trees also protect the
snowfall from the rapid action of the
sun In spring. thus restraining foods
from that source also.
The protection of the forests there
fore is the surest and safest way in
which to prevent destructive inunda-
tons. They are really natural storage
reservoirs, not holding back great
masses of water in bulk. which may be
released by the breaking Of some dam
and carry terrible destruction before
them, but storing 1t in the capillaries
OF the spongy soil and yielding it gen
tly and continuously during the season
when most needed.-London Standard.

Cutting Down Expenses.

It is expensive enough to put on a
play and get the true artistic effects
without wasting money on unneces-
sary detail. AS an example Of this, a
manager tells the following incident:
A playwright was reading comedy
to the manager when he came to these
lines:
Have a cigar"
Thanks; don't mind If do"
wait" said the manager. III I'm
going to produce that play that second
line will have to read, No, thanks;
don't smoke That change will save a
good deal of money every season, for
an actor must smoke good cigars when
it is necessary to smoke at ali."-Kan-
sas City Star.
