Permits for Camp Fires.

AS result of the extremely disas-
trous fire season this summer, and
as a further precaution against the
starting of fresh conflagrations, the
secretary of agriculture has, for the
month of September, extended the re-
gulation hitherto applicable only to
the Angeles National Forest in Calf
ornia, making it unlawful to build a
camp fire on the forest without permit
from a forest officer, to all national
forest land in the states of Idaho and
Wyoming. Campers upon national
forest land in Idaho or Wyoming
should see the nearest forest officer
for permit for building camp fires
during September. Violations of this
regulation, which is made necessary
by the existing fire conditions, will be
theoretically prosecuted.

Nothing Did Mrs. Sather Any
Good Until She Took
Tanlac.

az spent more than three hundred
dollars during the past year for treat
ment and medicine for my wife, but
she didn't get any relief until she
commenced taking Tanlac," said Ole
H. Sather, who lives at Hubbard, Ore
gon, while in the Owl Drug Store in
Portland few days ago.
Cup to the time my wife began
taking Tanlac," continued Mr.. Sather,
"she had not been able to do her
homework for about two years. She
had been suffering from indigestion
and stomach trouble all the time, and
although she was under treatment,
and had taken many different kinds
of medicine, the trouble just seemed
to get worse all the time. Finally, she
came to Portland last spring and I'M
derwent thorough examination and
went under special treatment, but it
didn't do her any good at all. Every
time she ate anything she would suf-
fer something awful with gas and
cramping spells afterwards. Some
times she would be so nauseated that
she could hardly retain what she ate.
She was very nervous, too, and never
slept well, and would get up in the
mornings feeling tired and worn out.
She seemed to lose all her energy
and strength, and finally got so weak
and run down that she was about
ready to give up all hope of ever get
ting any better.

FrIontrui Experience.

"What was my most thrilling expe-
rience?" mused the exploit. "Ah! I
could never forget 1t. It was bright
starlight night, but the lurid flashes
around us obscured all else az We
sped through the air. The advancing
enemy was hard upon us, while all
around we heard the weird, savage
music so terribly familiar, and the
'thud as Of thousand falling meteors.
We dived, looped, corkscrewed till our
senses were numbed. I felt sharp
pain in my right foot, a dull weight
in my side-I was falling, falling
and knew no more till found myself
lying on the ground badly smashed
some hours later"

UNABLE TO ANALYZE DRUG
Intoxicating Principles Of Powerful
Narcotic, "cohoba," Remain 4
Mystery to Chemists.

When Columbus arrived at the H.
land Of Haiti he and his followers
were interested to observe q curious
practice Of the natives, who were a.
customed on ceremonial occasions 70
make use Of narcotic SNUFF produc-
tive Of 4 sort Of hypnotic state, with
vision supposed to DO supernatural.
The tribal wizards, or priests, while
under the influence Of the drug, were
accustomed to hold communication
with unseen powers, and their NUT
terings were construed as prophecies
and revelations Of hidden things.
The snuff was called "cohoba," and,
In the form Of fine powder, was in
hailed through forked wooden tube,
the forks being inserted in the nos
trils and the lower end of the tube
buried in little heap of the snuff,
which was held on tray Of carved
wood. Sometimes large snail shells
were used for snuff boxes.
The mimosa-like tree from which
the snuff is obtained is plentiful along
the banks Of the Orinoco and the
Amazon. 1t grows In Haiti, Porto
Rico and other islands Of the Antilles.
The seeds yielded by It's pods are
dried, roasted and ground to powder,
which is sometimes mixed with lime
from calcined snail shell.
Only recently has this tree been
identified by DR.. w. p. Stafford Of the
government plant bureau as the
source Of the SNUFF, the origin Of which
has hitherto been puzzle. The
chemical properties Of the drug are still
unknown and so its intoxicating prin-
ciple remains a mystery.
