RECEIPTS
BREAK RECORDS
Almost Three Million Dol
lars Turned Into Ma
tional Treasury.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Receipts
from National Forests for the fiscal
year 1916 reached the high.water mark
of approximately s2,S2O, 900, according
to figures just completed. This is
s341,0oO above the 1915 total. which in
turn exceeded any previous year. OF.
ficials say that the gain was due to In.
creased demand for all classes of for
est products. er
There was decided growth In the row.
enue FRI m all sources, the largest be.
ing that of $203,0O0 In timber sales.
Grazing fees showed gain of $4,000.
Receipts for water power development
were over $4,000 more than for 1915.
Sales Of turpentine privileges and
charges for special uses were both
considerably in excess Of the previous
year.
Officials say that the National For.
ests are important factors In the pros
perity OF the regions In which they are
located. on account OF the large
amounts OF timber, range. and other
resources which they hold available
for use rs needed. Business condi-
tions are reflected in the receipts Of
the Forests. Consequently the show
ing for the past year is regarded as an
index of increased business activity
throughout the sections where the Ma.
tional Forests are found.

Some Well Water
Is Far From Pure
CASE OF TYPHOID SUSPECTED OF
HAVING HAD SUCH A
SOURCE

only one new case of typhoid has
been reported to the City Health de.
partment so far during this month.
This is the case OF a glass worker
who lives at sos Virginia avenue. The
patient has been under the observa.
tion OF DR.. D. P. Fitch for several days
and last night the diagnosis Of Is.
phoid was determined.
The source Of the infection has not
yet been termined but the Health
officials who are today working oil
the matter suspect the wells in the
immediate neighborhood.
While the city water at present
is In poor condition and to be abso.
lutely safe should be boiled before
drinking yet the majority Of. the wells
about the city are in worse condition
and most liable to transmit typhoid
Infection than the city water. SOD
Additional chlorine has been added
to the city water and 1t is thought that
the next analysis will show marked
Improvement in its condition.

GOVERNMENT SUGGESTS
SAVING OF OLD PAPER
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Is
SUES BULLETIN ON SHORT
AGSoF MATERIAL.

The great shortage in paper material
which the country is now facing, and
means Of combating this, are pointed
cut in bulletin just issued by the De-
Dartment of Commerce, hundreds of
copies of which have been received by
President T. c.. Hannah, of tie Hat
ties burg Commercial Club. Mr. Hannah
has been asked by Secretary William
c. Redfiel1. to post these bulletins
in conspicuous places throughout the
city, and to place copies of them in
the hands of al concerns having guam
;ities of old paper and rags.
The bulletin, which is headed by
Save your waste paper and rags"
says:
The attention of the Department OF
Commerce is called, by t!e president
Of large paper manufacturing COM
qany, to the fact that there is serious
shortage of raw material for the manu-
facture of paper, including rags and
old papers. He urges that the Depart
ment should make it known that the
collecting and saving of rags and old
paper would greatly better existing con-
iitions for American manufacturers.
Something like $4,000 tons of diff
ferent kinds of paper and paper board
are manufactured every day in the
United States and a large proportion
Of this. after it has served its purpose,
could be used over again in some class
of paper. A large part OF it, however.
is either burned or otherwise wasted.
This, Of course, has to be replaced by
new materials III the early history of
the paper industry publicity was Civ
en- to the importance OF saving gags.
It is Of scarcely less Importance now.
The Department of Commerce is GLAD
70 bring this matter to the attention
of the public in the hope that practical
results may flow from it. A little at
tention to the saving of rags and old
papers will mean genuine relief to our
paper industry and a diminishing drain
upon our sources of supply for new
materials
A list of dealers in paper stocks
can be obtained from the local Cham
Der of Commerce or Board of Trade.
