nominated; and one would suppose that
he would be ready to praise primary
methods, he points out the danger to
which the commonwealth has been ex-
posed, by that bad candidate who might
have been chosen. He blames the peo-
pie and the system when his candidate
is defeated, but he does not credit the
people or the system when results please
him. And he never, never refers to
the constant stream Of bad candidates
which the old party convention system
produced, some Of whom were elected.

The lamber cut Of the nation for 1917
is placed at IS, 1871 ,239, 900 feet by the
United States Forest Service, based on
reports up to May Is. Reports were re-
ceived from 164OS sawmills out of the
248l5 mills believed to have been oper-
ated that year. It is estimated that
the cut in 1917, taken from the complied
figures, is about 10 per cent less than in
1916. Southern yellow pine produced
37.7 per cent of the total cut. The fall
ing off in lumber production during
the past year is attributed principally
to largely decreased private building
operations, the scarcity of labor in con-
nection with small operations, transpor-
tation difficulties, curtailment of de-
mand on the part Of woodusing indus
ties, and 8 more or less general dislo-
cation Of lumber distribution through
ordinary channels of trade A consid-
crahlc portion Of the total quantity
produced was utilized in meeting the ex-
ceptional demands for government con-
struction and other war emergency pro-
jects including ship material.

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

This war is to be won not by one man
or one thousand men, or one million peo-
pie. It is to be won by the united ef-
forts Of the individuals Of many ma
lions.
Every American citizen has an in
dividual duty to perform, an individ-
ual share Of the responsibility. The
more powerful and effective the
American forces are the shorter will be
the war, and the shorter the war the
fewer lives lost, the greater the number
of American soldiers who will return
home victorious.
Every American who economies in
consumption Of material, who increases
production, who saves and lends savings
to the government, does something to
help win the war.

Women all over the world realize more
and more that their work at home will help
the men at the Front. 1t involves great
sacrifices, hard work and unusual physical
strength. Women at home should study
nursing for war and for the home. A good
way to learn is to ask your druggist for a
copy or send SOC to publisher Of the "Med-
ical Adviser" 663 Main St., Buffalo,
N. Y, and get copy of their 1000 page
book bound in cloth, with chapters on

Wounded, Physiology, Hygiene, Anato-

Nobody, man or woman, can do good
work when health is impaired. If a
woman is nervous or has dizzy spells,
suffers from awful pains at regular or
irregular intervals she should turn to a
