LOSS FROM FOREST FIRES.

A loss to the government of $780,
3S5 in timber, forage and young
growth was caused by fires on the
national forests in 1916, according TO
statistics compiled by the forest SER
vice Although there was more than
the average number of fires, the loss
is the smallest that has been sustain
ed from fires since the national for
ests we're established. A favorable
season in the regions where the most
severe damage is usually sustained is
given as the chief reason for the rel
atively small loss.
A total of 299,377 acres of govern
ment land was burned over. In addi-
ton to this, the fires covered acres
OF privately owned land in the nation
al forests where timber valued at
$2G,214 was consumed. About Al per
cent of the total area burned was To-
Gated in the national forests of Ar
kansas and Florida.
Of the 5,G55 fires which occurred,
Abb, or 70 per cent, were confined
to areas Of less than ten acres Many
of these small fires, according to the
forest service, might have developed
into serious conflagrations had they
not been extinguished in their incip-
iency.
The average cost of fighting each
fire was approximately half that of
former years. Lightning was the
chief cause OF the fires and was re-
sponsible for 23 per cent of all those
which occurred The cause of Is per
cent was unknown, while careless
campers started II per cent, There
was slight increase in the fires of
incendiary origin, as well as those
started by sparks from locomotives.
With the exception of those caused
by lightning. all the fires were due
to human agencies. One fire in Idaho
which burned 100000 feet of timber
was caused by the carelessness Of a
ton year old boy.

WASTE AND WANT.

In this age of the high cost of liv-
ing much is being said about the OK
pense of keeping the family larder
supplied and the rising charge OF
"the butcher, the baker, the candle
stick maker"
True, food is increasing in cost,
and the cost of living has increased
by leaps and bounds. This applies
not alone to food. but to everything.
But the American public, as rule.
is doing nothing to combat the in.
creased cost, We are living as we
did when things cost much less. We
eat as much and az good food But
the pinch comes in the savings ac-
count
Tho housewife can, in a large meas.
ure. reduce the living cost of the
family by using common sense and
having a modicum of regard for the
family income. The old popular say,
ing that the best is none too good
gives way to the saner, more substan
tial thought thar maybe there is
something that will do the work Of
the best hut cost less.
One large item of household OK
pcnse is in meats, which have in
creased alarmingly in cost. Peopl,

people know it. Liver isn't bad when
rightly prepared Anybody can cook
porterhouse steak appetizingly. But
the art Of housekeeping lies IN max
ing the cheaper articles of food pal
atable in times when the dollars are
steadily shrinking and the dimes
have almost disappeared.
Waste makes want and the average
American household is hotbed of
waste. Scraps, such as the thrifty
European housewives utilize advanta-
geously, are thrown to the garbage,
and it is estimated that only one
slice of bread wasted daily in every
house in America totals $4,000
pounds and costs $4,000 at the rate
OF eight cents a pound.

there seems peril that third will be
