Forest Fire Protection.
democratic Congress Allowed the Neces.
sary Appropriation to Lapse.

SAasVSldllC congress AllOWeO tAlS NSSeS'
sary Appropriation to Lapse.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August 9. 1916.
The safety of millions of dollars worth
OF the nations timber supply has been
jeopardized by Democratic neglect.
An authorized appropriation of three
million dollars for preventing forest fire
and kindred purposes, provided for in
what is known as the "Weeks Law"
was allowed to lapse because of the care
less failure of the last Democratic Con-
gress to carry out the mandate of for
mer law.
The Weeks law was enacted to enable
the federal government to cooperate
with the States to secure protection
from forest fires. 1t authorized appro-
priations up to eleven millions to carry
Its purpose into effect. Based upon
carefully drawn plans. it provided for
the purchase of lands at the head waters
OF navigable streams, to aid navigation
and the regulation of stream flow, and
thereby promote forest protection.
"Fire destroys the soil covering in
Forest" says the forestry report on the
plan of the Weeks law. ''This causes
rapid run off on steep slopes and erosion
results. The soil thus washed out is the
chief source of sediment in the channels
of navigable streams. Forest fires,
therefore, cause irregularity OF stream
How and loss of navigahility. This calls
for active assistance from the federal
government, and section of the Weeks
law is designed to authorize this assist
ance"
The necessity for forest fire protec-
ton is shown by the official reports of
the vast destruction such fires cause.
'An average of 100000 acres is
burned over annually in the United
States, with money loss Of about
S25, 900, 0OO," says the Forestry Bur-
eau report. 1.-THE danger threatens
both northern and southern forests. In
the coniferous forests of the north the
destruction of merchantable timber is
frequent. In the pine or hard wood
forests of the south, the chief damage is
the repeated killing of young growth.
This is severe, because the young growth
has very great future value, and upon
it depends the permanency of the lumber
industry in the region"
The attention of Democratic members
of Congress was repeatedly called to the
necessity of giving formal approval to
the law formerly enacted and that with
out that approval the appropriation
would lapse and be no longer available
for forest fire protection. In spite Of
this warning, however, the Democrats
neglected to include the necessary pro-
vision in the law this year.
The result is that during the next fall
and winter, when the danger from for
est fires is at the maximum, the prote c.
ton that would have been afforded under
the Weeks law will either be lost or
must be provided for in some other way.

Your Brain Must Have Pure Blood.

No more important physiological discovery
has ever been made than that the brain re-
quires due supply Of pure blood. It is esti
mated that this organ receives as much as
one-tenth of all the blood that is sent from
the heart-a great deal more than any other
organ of the body. II the vitality of the
blood is impaired, the blood then affords the
brain an imperfect stimulus and there is mem
tai and physical langu or, sluggishness or mac
tivity.
Pure blood is blood that il free from hui
mors, it is healthy blood, and the term pure
blood as it is generally used means blood that
is not only right in quality but also in guam
tity. Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure, rich,
red blood. This is one Of the great truths
about this great medicine.

and their trimming is usually flowers of
some sort. Velvet hats have come in as
usual when the Dogstar reigns, and are
on the whole rather attractive as con-
trast with filmy gown if worn at the
shore, or somewhere where the thickness
of their fabric does not seem oppressive.
They are decidedly in line with the sum-
mer furs that one sees everywhere and
nearly as incongruous.

Maine Central's income balance deficit
of 1914, 700 for the year ending with

the report of President Hustis for gain
over 1914 of nearly two million dollars.
The deficit for the year was 1884, 462

ident Hustis points out that the gain
was obtained without neglecting mainte-
nance of way or equipment.

discussion, and voted, by slender mar
gin, to retain the party's identity "for

what the leaders of the party may vote
to do. The membership of the party has
gone back to the Republican ranks.
The administration continues to run
behind at the rate of about three quar-
tiers of million dollars per day. By
strenuous efforts to induce early pay
ments of income taxes and by urging
prompt remittances by collectors, the
Treasury Department was able to make
a book showing of balance of about
$82,000,000 on July l. That this was a
forced showing for effect at the close of
the fiscal year is now proven by the fact
that from the first day of the new
fiscal year, the expenditures exceeded
the receipts and the balance dropped
to about $67, 900, 900 at the close of bust
ness Saturday, July "a. On the CORES

ragged American women and murdered

perty in Mexico than they ever did. And
as for high tariff, it is to them as abb
horrent thought now as ever. Demo-
cratic solicitude is reserved for the Demo-
cratic party exclusively. 1t is rot the
nation, but the Democratic party that
seems to them imperilled. To save their

with all it's patronage, means everything

with no real intent in it, to convince the
