EASY TO BLAME "0VERWORK"

4 doctor Of very wide experience has
noted this phenomenon: every day
men come TO him, broken down in
health; and almost invariably they
inform him that the cause is "over-
work"
"Yct, on further questioning. this
doctor finds that virtually none Of his
patients work as hard rs he does. Yet
he IS well and they are sick; he is
strong and able to do his work without
exhaustion. and they can do little or
no work any more.
This is his deduction: that their
breakdown was not due TO work, hut
10 a terrible load OF psychological and
physiological habits they had been
carrylng-a load so great that a very
little work in addition overtaxed their
waning strength.

nUSSlA'S RICH TIMBER LANDS
Systematic Expectation Would Have a
Great Effect on the Markets
OF the World.

An article in current magazine by
A. j. Sack presents statistics on Rus
sa's forest resources as Il means of
paying the billions Of dollars due to
home and foreign creditors.
The astonishing statement Is made
by this writer that Russia, Including
Siberia has 1,125,0 100000 acres of tim
her which Is 63 per cent as much as
the whole world possessed. This re-
source is being set aside by Russian
economists ms a fund TO pay the coun-
try's debts.
The effect on Americas business
should be duly considered, observes
Hardwood Record in discussing the ar
ticle, Except oak ii continues, which
is generally known in the market as
the Japanese oak, It Is not probable
that much Russian timber will reach
the United States; but it will compete
with American lumber in other mar
keis, notably those of western Europe.
and perhaps those of eastern Asia,
western South America and the Pacific
islands.
ITO that extent" says Hardwood
Record, "our lumber business may be
hurt by the food Of forest products
from Russia, In normal times Ger
many received 4S per cent Of It's lum-
ber imports from Russia and Eng
lands per cent Of timber imports from
that source was nearly as large.
Lumber shipments from Russia will
come from the Baltic, from the Arctic
coast Of Russia proper and Siheria
aud from the pacinc coast Of the lat
ter country. The principal lumber
markets OF the world can be reached
