The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing it's work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Halls Catarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

MUCH timber LEFT
Chief Of the Office Of Wood
Utility Places Estimate on
Timber Left.

You don't hear so much these
days about the speedy exhaustion
of the American timber supply
perhaps because it has been hard
times in the lumber trade up to a
short time ago, perhaps because
concrete and other materials have
lessened the drain on the supply
But still there is very wide
spread impression that the timber
supply must be pretty near the end.
Well, it isn't. There's quite a
bit of it left, and there will be quite
bit left for some time to come.
H. S. Sackett, former chief of
the Office of wood utility in the
United States forest service, is now
employed by the National Lumber
Manufacturers association to teach
people not to worry about the fail
ure of the timber supply, and in a
recent speech he gave some inter
esting facts.
In 1892, Mr.. Sackett said the
census bureau estimated the stand
ing timber in the United States at
l ,4OO, 900, 100000 feet, fourteen
hundred billion feet.
About this time, too, began the
cry from the conservationists that
the supply was being exhausted.
And of course timber was being
used right and left. and appalling
quantities of it wasted.
But ten years later the forestry
service made more careful survey
and concluded that there was then
still standing in the United States
2, ZOO, 900, 100000 feet, two thous-
and billion feet. Billions of feet of
course, had been consumed in the
meantime, but still the report was
of remainder nearly fifty per cent
greater than the decade before.
But the most careful estimate
of all was made in 2912," said Mr..
Sackett, when congress ordered
the bureau of corporations to go
into the question in detail" And
the resulting report, twelve years
after the report of two thousand
billion and twenty-five years after
the report of fourteen hundred bill
lion, showed that there was then
standing timber amounting to g.
800 900, 100000 feet, twenty-eight
hundred billion feet; just twice the
estimate of 1892, after twenty-five
years of unbridled cutting.
Mr.. Sackett, figuring the annual
cut at sixty billion feet, says this
supply is good for fifty years, even
| if no more timber grew; but of
course timber is growing all the
time. Taking in the worlds sup
ply, he figures that timber will last
until the year 1850; and of course
few of US now living will need to
bother about what conditions will
be in the year 1851. when the tim
Der is gone.
A world of caution. While we
do not doubt these figures, they are
given out by man representing
numbering interests. These inter-
ests are concerned in abating en-
thusiasm for conservation; and
while perhaps Mr.. Sacketts pro-
paganda has no relation to this
point, still there is as grave need
for conservation as ever there was.
If sensibly conservative methods
are adopted, there will be plenty of
timber not only in 1850, but through
all time.

statute books in past score of

,
import of this new law. Just
as the new banking and cur
rency system gives TO the bust
ness men of the nation u most
elastic currency and great ia
cilitles for credit, SO the rural
credit act extends to the farm
ers of the country the same
quick credit that is now enjoy
ed by manufacturers and other
business men.
The essence of the new rural
credit law is in the establish
men Of uniform rate of inter
est for the farmers. 1t will
not help a lazy or shiftless
farmer, but it will remove at
once the hampering influences
that halted the progress of men
who have labored ceaselessly to
get rid of debt in the operation
of small and large tracts of
land.
No longer will there be any
gouging of the farmers, no mat
ter where they may be located.
No Federal land bank is per
mitted to charge more than 6
per cent per annum OH it's farm
mortgages loans, and if one Of
these banks pay only per cent
on an issue of bonds, it cannot
charge more than 8 per cent
for the next farm loans il
makes. Thus if those who now
invest their money in farms
mortage bonds receive only i
per cent on their Investment
they will have the satisfaction
of knowing that tho farmer is
paying only s per cent.
Farm lands, which are the
very Keystone OF the nations
prosperity, hitherto have not
been considered very good in
vestment by the average citi.
zen. To attract money to farm
loan field, however, the new
law provides II method whereby
those who have money to lend
can find safe investments in the
form of debentures of bonds of
small and large denominations,
ISSUED by tho banks and based
on the security of mortgages on
farm lands.
Not only by a method, but
an inducement is thus offered
for Investments in agriculture.
Much will depend upon the
initiative, shown by the farm
ers Tn emselves in the develope
ment of this new system. In its
general effects, il is not unlike
the building and loan associa-
tions which have grown up in
all large American cities and
which haue enabled so many
working people TO acquire their
own homes. The associations
which the farmers will form,
under the new system, virtual
ly will dominate the twelve
land banks which arc to be es-
tablished. They will pass upon
the reputation and reliability of
their own members. There will
be a new community of interest
among the farmers Of the coun-
try, and there should be n
strengthening and Improvement
in the agricultural resources of
the nation in addition 10 i'm
provement in the condition of
individual farmers.
In writing this new law upon
the statute books Congress has
performed a service not only to
the farmers themselves, but to
the whole country, whose pros
perity is based in such large
upon its agricultural
