of possibility.
One cannot fail to be impressed by
the possibilities of plywood as a fac
tor of utilization. Not only would it
make possible the saving Of a large
percentage of present woods and mills
waste, but it might revolutionize pres
ent milling and grading practices. Sc
lect and clear material, the value OF
which is now lost in undersizes or dis
counted by low-grade classification,
could be utilized and valued as are
now the more valuable hardwoods.
From the standpoint Of satisfactory
service, there seem to be no limits to
the possible substitution of plywood
for most forms of solid wood.

Fox SQUIRRELS, Nests.

In the South, instead of living in
the hollow trees, the fox squirrels build
big nests in the tops Of the pine and
other trees, usually Of Spanish moss,
says the American Forestry Magazine.
In these they sleep. also carrying to
them the pine cones. In the hardwood
forests Of the North, dry leaves take
the place Of the Spanish moss, and a
conspicuous nest is built with an en-.
trance hole at the side.

These insects, which are abundant in
France, Spain, Sicily and Russia, are
collected in great numbers and killed
by being plunged into strong vinegar.
They are then dried and ground to a
fine powder. This powder is soaked in
chloroform and the mixture distilled.
The result is cantharidin.
This cantharidin makes the hair
grow by causing tiny, invisible blisters
to form underneath the skin. These
blisters contain blood-serum - the

BEWAREOF
LAXATIVES
If You Are Constipated and Have
Malaria In Your System
Read The Following

The only way to overcome consti-
patton and the resultant ills is to get
your liver in good working order. By
taking just laXatives you do not touch
the liver. One man of our acquain-
tance was a sufferer from constipa-
ton for years. He had taken salts,
oil, pills and various laxatives until
his skin was like parchment. The man
actually looked twenty years older
than he was. He had gotten in such
shape that he never had a natural
bowel movement and even the
various laxatives that he was, using
had to gradually be increased to get
any effect.
He was never well and yet could,
if asked, point to no special illness.
He was victim of general ills-all
caused from one trouble-if he had
but known it. It took only one bot
tie of PLANK'S BLOOD MEDICINE
to give this man a new lease on life
and after six bottles he is now as
fat, rosy and health as he was when
he was boy. The secret of his Won
derful recovery is in the action of
this scientific preparation on the liv-
er and blood. He never takes a lax
ative now and the bowels are regu-
lar. The digestion is good The lin
ing of the stomach and bowels are
now able to absorb nourishment from
the food which had been passing out
of the body unassimilated.
This grave condition was due to
LAXATIVES which do not ASSIST
NATURE, but instead sap the life
from the walls of the stomach and
bowels.
PLANK'S BLOOD MEDICINE is
now carried by Nathan Murray,
druggist, and all good drug stores.

What Was Behind That Miraculouj
Painting in the Hacienda Chapel?
THE hacienda consisted of clus-
ter of buildings erected in diff
ferent centuries. They were connect
ed by arcades and tunnels, bridges
and galleries. The original structure
belonged to the time of the Spanish
conquerors, tradition said. The ex-
quisite chapter with its miraculous
portrait, was the chief glory of the
place. Until Certeis had taken pos
session of the property, the chapel
had been place of pilgrimage for
tourists in Mexico. Like Lourdes
and st. Anne Beaupre, it had it's his
tory of miraculous cures.
Originally, it had been a small pri-
vate chapel designed exclusively for
the use of the owner and his family.
