Woodlot owners can not only get from
their woodlot without injury all of the
fuel that they need themselves, but pro-
vide an extra supply to sell at good prices
to those who will be unable to get coal.
In cutting fire-wood from the woodlot,
trees which have a timber value should
be saved, and the cutting limited to de-
fective or weed trees so as to make the
cutting a r. al improvement instead of a
detriment.
Every cord of wood that is cut and
used in the place of coal means the saw
ing of one-half to one ton Of coal. A
rare opportunity is presented to the
woodland owner in that he may not only
cut wood from his woodlands and sell It
at good profit, but the cutting, If wise
ly done, will be real improvement to
his property. To realize the greatest
benefit, the owner should limit the cut
ting to undesirable or Tweed" trees and
save such as have present or prospec-
tive timber value.
In determining how much WOOD Will
be required to take the place of coal it
can be said that two pounds of well sea-
soned wood is equivalent to one pound of
coal. A cord of seasoned hickory,
weighing little over 1000 pounds is e.
quivalent in fuel value to ton of coal.
A cord of oak is nearly as good; while it
takes two cord of chestnut to equal ton
of coal. Pine wood is between the two
extremes, ono cord being equal to about
two-thirds of ton of coal.
1t takes wood several months to sea-
son, and now is the time to cut it before
farm work is pressing.
Advice in cutting the woodlot, market
for cordwood and timber is freely given
by the State Forester, Baltimore, Md.

Low Rates To Veterans.

Railroads have been authorized by Di-
rector-G eneral McAdoo to grant rate
of one cent mile to members of the
Grand Army of the Republic and of the
United Confederate Veterans and their
families for their annual reunions next
summer. The Grand Army meets at
Portland, Oregon, and the Confederates
at Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"This may be the last time that many
of the soldiers can reunite with their
comrades" said Mr.. McAdoo, "and it
seems particularly desirable that they
should not be denied the opportunity
while their country is at war;"

Prohibition Amendment Wius
In the House by Vote OF
So tO52.


Maryland will ratify the national pro
hibition amendment.
This was to all intents and purposes
decided last Wednesday afternoon, wher
the House of Delegates voted 55 to At
to reject the proposition to postpone rat,
ification for two years in order that the
voters of the State might have an op'
portunity to exrpess their opinion on
the subject.
Thereupon the favorable report OF the
Temperance Committee on the joint
resolution of ratification was adopted by
a vote of SO to AZ, the resolution going
to it's third reading. On this roll call
three members who had voted for ref
erendum cast their votes for ratification
-Mattingly, of st. Mary's: Rogers, OF
Anne Arundel, and Wann, of Baltimore
city.
What turned the tide were the solid
votes of Frederick and Washington coun-
ties and the division of the delegations
from Allegany and Anne Arundel.
1t had been believed also that two OF
the Montgomery delegation would vote
against ratification and that three of the
Prince Georges men would do likewise.
Only two from Prince Georges voted a.
gainst ratification, none from Montgom-
cry, only two from Anne Arundel. and
instead of five or six from Allegany on
" three were found on that side.
The vets also expected some OF the
Frederick and Washington delegations
but got none. On the other nand, the
drys had claimed four or five votes from
the city, but got only that of Fox on the
test vote, although Wann had voted for
ratification after the referendum sug-
gestion was beaten and Custer explained
that while he would personally like to
vote for ratification he knew his constit-
uency was against it and he felt bound
to represent it in his vote.
The galleries and the chamber were
packed all the afternoon chiefly with the
advodates of prohibition and the result
of the test vote was greeted with great
applause.

When You Have u Cold.

1t is when you have severe cold that
you appreciate the good qualities of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Crocker. Pana, Ill.,, writes: "Our
five-year-old son Paul caught a severe
cold last winter that settled on his lungs
and he had terrible coughing spells. We
were greatly worried about him as the
medicine we gave him did not help him
in the least. A neighbor spoke SO highly
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy that
got him a bottle of it. The first dose
benefited him 80 much that l continued
giving it to him until he was cured"

About Constipation.

About Constipation.
Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese. teaiand boil
ed milk. On the other hand raw fruits,
especially apples and bananas, also gra-
ham bread and whole wheat bread pro-
mote a movement of the bowels. When
the bowels are badly constipated, how
ever, the sure way is to take one or two
of Chamberlain Tablets Immediately

Khaki Coiors Differ.

Considerable comment is being
aroused in official circles and else
where over the disparity of the khaki
uniforms worn by officers and privates
Some Of them are so faded that they
look almost white, while others retain
original coloring. A few cases have
been noted, states the Pathfinder
where the coat and breecheS of uni
forms have developed different hues.
One excuse offered is that the khaki
cloth is acquired from many manufac-
turers and the grades of it differ wide
ly sometimes. Thousands of young
men entering the officers training
camps purchase their own uniforms,
and this provides an opportunity for
difference in the quality of the
goods

council of the New Jersey State
Chamber of Commerce at dinner
given the New Jersey delegates in
Congress.
Prices, Mr.. King explained, would
be fixed by Government specitica-
dons through competitive bidding
among the States, the industries OF
each State having a representative
in a cetnral bureau at Washington
which would receive daily from the
Government statement of its re
quirements and keep the factories
informed. In this way, Mr.. King
said possibility of profiteering would
be eliminated, and all manufacture
ing plants, large and small. would
be placed on an equal footing with
the same opportunity to assist in
supplying the Government needs.

ten would declare offhand that he

recovery very slight.
