GENERAL ASSAULT ORGANIZING.

The campaign has now developed to
the point where It becomes apparent
that a general assault on the public
domain is organizing. Already bills
have been introduced in the present
Congress which provide for turning over
TO western States about 9O,0OO,OOO acres
of public lands. This Is not a great area
when compared to the sOO.OoO.0OO acres
which still remain within the public
domain. But when 1t is considered that
perhaps half the public lands are of no
practical value, and that these proposed
grants would be selected from the good
lands, 1t becomes evident that con-
siderable inroad on the remaining ma
tional estate Is in sight.
For a number OF years after the con-
servation movement had gained strength
enough to command respect. there was
little effort at getting control Of the
public lands. But the last few years
have seen a decline Of interest In con-
servation measures. Something like a
shock was given to advocates of this
policy when the Senate Committee on
Public Lands reported favOrably a bill
by Senator Key Pittman of Nevada to
cede to his State 100000 acres of the
public lands within the state. The bill
ported the very next day. Then its
progress was checked and the other
day when it came up in the Senate there
developed discussion which made clear
that at least there will be a determined
effort to block the general assault on
the remaining national treasure.
Fourteen Bills in Senate.
This Pittman bill is one of fourteen
thus far introduced in the Senate. to
give public lands to the States. In the
aggregate they propose thus to grant
30, 10000 acres, on various preteXts. The
Nevada measure proposes that the pro-
ceeds from the lands shall be devoted
to the public schools. and the state
University.
Utah has had bill introduced by
Senator Smoot. to give 1t a million
acres: and ii is not unduly modest in
its request, for the measure permits the
governor to make the selections from
any lands within the State belonging
to the United States. whether such
lands be within or without forest res
ervations." This opens a wide possi-
bility of drawing a rich prize in min
eral, forest and agricultural tracts. The
excuse for this grant is that it is to
be in compensation for expenses of
Utah in lS65-6s, in suppressing Indian
disturbances.
Wyoming. Arizona. Colorado, Idaho.
Montana. New Mexico, Nevada. and
Utah are each to be given a million
acres, IL a bill by Senator Warren. of
Wyoming, shall pass. Under this meas
ure. the proceeds are to be invested in
road building and maintenance. The
good roads advocates are counted on to
push for this plan.
Another Colorado request Is repre-
sented by the Shafroth bill, to grant
100000 acres in that State. these to be
selected by the governor from any pub
lie lands. whether in or outside the for
est reservations

TOBACCO AS A
WAR BABY

A great many honest men believe
that tobacco is not a necessity, that
it is injurious to the human system.
Most women think the same way;
and yet tobacco is one of the "war
babies" and the governments at war
are furnishing their soldiers and sail
ors with ample quantities of it. The
largest tobacco transportation con-
tract in history has recently been
closed, and it provides for carrying
234, 100000 pounds from this coun
try to France during the months of
July and August. The tobacco
comes from Kentucky, and it will be
shipped in hogsheads, of which there
will be $4,000, the total shipment,
weighing 1i,700 tons. The tobacco
is shipped in leaf form to the French
Government. Very likely when the
next set of moving pictures comes
out, showing "How France Prepared"
this tobacco will appear in the films,
and the probabilities are that the pat
riots who prepare it for the French
soldiers to chew and smoke will be
the women and girls of the country.
A shipment of 5000 tons of the re-
cent purchase will be sent to France
during the first week of July, and
the steamship Kristen will be renam'
ed 'Lady Nicotine" in honor of the
unusual cargo which will be carried.

Some Folks Say
Sickness is Sin

They mean that sickness is the re-
suit Of some sin. The sin of over
eating-or over-drinking or perhaps
over-working. ANY of these causes
may be reflected in the condition Of
the liver.
It is over-worked-it clogs-it
doesn't strain the bile from the blood
as a result of being clogged. The bile
is carried to all parts of the body.
The tongue coats-the taste is bad
the eyes are clouded-the skin sallow
and you feel like you had committed
some great sin.
Over-eating is the one sin common
to all of us. Over-eating, over-loads
the stomach and liver. The liver
clogs, the bile is not taken from the
blood and the blood carries this bile
to all parts Of the body where it up
sets Nature-poisons our system
makes us sick. Then, sickness is sin,
or, rather the result of sin.

Iron In Water.

Half part to the million of iron in
water is detachable by taste, and more
than four or FIVE parts make water
unpalatable. In some mineral springs
iron is the constituent which imparts
a medicinal value to the water, but
ordinarily 1t is undesirable. More
than 2.5 parts a million in water used
for laundering makes q stain on the
clothes. Iron must be removed from
water from which ice is made, or q
cloudy, discolored product will result.
An iron content Of more than two or
three parts a million in water used in
the manufacture of paper will stain
the paper.

Made claarsttes the Fashion.

Laurence Oliphant, a man both of
letters and fashion, is generally cred
tied with having first introduced Gig
arettes into English society. They be-
came fashionable in about 1870 and
had a revolutionary effect on smoking
among women. Those OF the lower
classes had frequently been pipe smok-
ers, but in society the ladies, perhaps
for physical reasons, never took up
either pipe or cigar to any extent. The
cigarette offered them a milder and
more delicate means Of sharing mans
delight In the weed.

Start the Bile

To cleanse the liver requires good,
punchy medicine like Carlstedt's Liver
Power-an old-fashioned vegetable liv-
er cleanser that does not taste good
the children don't cry for it-even
papa and mamma frown as they take
it-but 1t cleans the liver-starts the
bile-and the frown turns to a big
broad smile as the body RECEIVERS its
old-time sparkle and snap.
A Csc. bottle of Carlstedt will prove
to you that the liver is the seat of bill
ious troubles. A spoonful OF the powd-
er dissolved in a glass Of water and
drank tonight will show you the diff
ference between a real liver medicine
and the mollycoddle kind.
