Don't Need Meat, Anyway.
OMAHA, July 16.-To the Editor Of The
Bee; How many people have attacked
A. B. Nickel MiclSle himself is the only
one who can say whether justice is being
done him. But there are some points
which are obviously for the good OF all.
Meat is not needed for the system and
one viii agree that vegetarian Is health

For many years ! had Rheumatism and
indigestion. but when my doctor advised
me not to eat meat. / quit, and at once
1 noticed Improvement Now, no meat
ever enters my home q am slngle). and
my health and happiness Is much better.
The women pick on poor Miclxle because
OF his 40 cents for tobacco. Some men
have smoked so much that to stop would
be fatal. Their nerves crave tobacco.
Mickle must be the kind or he would
not keep 4e cents each week for the
poisonous weed. At any rate 1t must act
as stimulus to him. Nevertheless. how
much better would It not be to spend
that on few picnlcs or such for his
family. for it amounts to 81 year.
These days when divorces are so easv
to set. Mrs. Mickle would get one unless
she were satisfied. and n she Is satisfied
why need those who have done so. rise
up to protest her verbally. not finan-
ciaily. A VEGETARIAN.

Is far better that Mr. Mickle should raise
family in the way he is raising them
and be able to have them at home with
him every night than to have them run
ming around the streets. He Is perfectly
right In not having them going to NOV
ing picture shows. running their eyes. and
eating candy, ice cream and frozen dain-
ties. which ruin their stomachs and
break down their health. OF course this
is just what the doctors are looking for,
and II there were not half 50 many fool

ing to pay the biggest part of their sal

ten years. A man working hard should

Mr.. Mickle spends too much for tobacco
when he spends 40 cents a week. and his

that is the time for good wife to sit

of having them running around the

Fire Report for National
Forests During Year 1914

r HE District Forester at Portland, Or,
j reports that for the season of 1914
there were 1900 fires of all classes on the
National forests of Oregon, Washington
and Alaska, OF this number 972 were
extinguished by rangers or guards be-
fore any appreciable damage had been
done. Each of the remaining 33S burned
over 10 or more acres.
According to the District Forester, the
1914 weather conditions were the most
favorable to the spread of fire since 1910.
Had the strong north and east winds of
1910 again prevailed, the season would
have been worse, since the forest cover
was drier. In spite of the extreme dry
ness which rendered the forests like tin
der, only about one-fifth as much timber
was killed as in 1910.
The success in keeping the timber loss
to a comparatively low figure is largely
due, says the District Forester, to the
fact that the service has six times as much
telephone line as in 1910, nearly two and
one-half times as much trail, and many
more high peak lookout stations. In
1910 the service had but few men who
had ever fought fire to any extent. In
1914 it had veteran fire fighters in every
locality, with well-thought-out and re-
corded plans for any fire that might oc-
cur. When a fire was reported there was
no loss of time. Men and supplies were
rushing toward it within a few minutes.
For instance, on the Fremont forest last
Summer the ranger at Silver Lake range
station received a telephone message of
a fire II miles away. In accordance with
a prepared plan, he went on horseback
three-eighths of a mile to Silver Lake,
where he collected a crew of 10 men and
took them to the fire in hired automo-
biles, arriving there as minutes after the
fire was reported to him. This would
have been impossible in 1910.
An analysis of causes shows that $50
fires were started by railroads or by 9TH
ers along their rights of way, 1927 by
lightning, 90 by incendiaries, 1877 by
brush burners. $40 by campers, nine by
sawmills, and PTS are charged to miscel,
laneous causes. The report calls atten-
ton to the fact that only the lightning
fire are unpreventable. Every one of the
others is due to thoughtlessness, lack of
Judgment or righteousness of man. Many
men through city habit unconsciously
throw away burning matches or tobacco,
and a forest fire often results. Emphasis
Is placed on the fact that the community
loses Sc to SIS in wages on every 1000
feet of timber destroyed. By this fact
over 81 100000 is forever lost this dis

Approyed WhiteWash,

The following recipe for w%hitewash is
furnished by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture:
Stake half a bushel of unslaked lime
with boiling water, keeping the lime COW
cred during the process. Strain it and
add a peck of salt, dissolved in warm
water. Put three pounds of ground rice
into boiling water and boil to a thin
paste. Add this, together with half a
pound of Spanish whiting and a pound of
clear glue dissolved in warm water. Mix
all the above ingredients we'll together
and let the mixture stand for several
days. Keep the wash thus prepared in a
kettle or portable furnace and when used
put it on as hot as possible with painters
or whitewash brushes.
