P(JLlAR & NIVEN
SPARKS CAUSED s1e FIRES.
Over One-Half Occurred in Virginia
 Alone.


 Alone.
 Washington, Feb. 23.-Of the 5o3 fires reported by the forest service as having occurred in 1914 on the national forest purchase areas in the White Mountains of New England and the Southern Appalachians, 319 or sixty per cent. were caused by sparks from locom olives. More than half of these fires, or PIP, occurred N Virginia alone, and of these 227 were from locomotive sparks.
 Three hundred and seventy-nine of the fires were confined to areas of less than ten acres each, and 296 were extinguished before one-quarter of an acre had been burned. The total loss amounted to $2,192 and the cost of fire-fighting to $1,3OO, an tnfinitesima1 sum compared with the value. of the timber and reproduction protected. As the areas swept by fire were mostly cut-over, the greater part of the damage was suffered by young growth.

RADICAL CHANCE IN
 CATTLE QUARANTINE
Restricted Area for Foot and
 Mouth Disease En' aQcd.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 23.-Two
 orders just signed by the secretary
 of agriculture made radical changes in the quarantine regulations for the
 foot and mouth disease. All the ter
 ritory east of the Mississippi and
 north of. Tennessee is now included in the quarantined area and no ship
 ments of live stock, except for the
 purpose of immediate slaughter, will
 be permitted from this area to the
 south or west. Stock owners, how
 ever, in the states of Virginia West Virginia Vermont, Maine and the Dis
 trict of Columbia may ship out their stock upon affidavit that it has been on their farms for certain length of time and has not been exposed to any risk of contag agion.
 This step the authorities believe to be necessary for the protection of the south, southwest and west which have not as yet been affected by the disease. The recent discovery of a few cases where cattle shipped from areas where the disease had existed
 carried it to previously uninfected sections, such as four counties in Kansas, convinced the department that no precautions will make such shipments absolutely safe. The new measure, it is said, should confine the disease to the regions in which it has already made it's appearance and in which the work of eradicating it will be pushed as before All of the large slaughtering centers are within this area and very few shipm ents for inn mediate slaughter are expected to be made out of it.

Speaking of the visit OF the British
cabinet members to Paris, Lord

There have been other cominas and

The Independence Of seryia, he DE-

very important theater Of war This
was not the time to talk peace. They
had entered on n great struggle and

The pieasantest. most convenient

Simply put a few drops of Hyomei in

1t seems remarkable that so simple
a way of treating catarrh will effect
such quick relief, but the most i'm
