NEWSPAPERS HAVE VITAL INTER. EST IN FOREST FIRE PRE-
 VENTIoN.

Denver.-A burning cigarette butt beside a woods-road in northern Maine may mean much to the business man. agement of the Texas Daily Bugle. Sounds like a joke, but is it? The Daily Bugle, say specialists of the forest service, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, represents the newspaper industry dependent on for ests for its existence; the smoldering cigarette portrays forest fires caused by human carelessness. Newspaper is made from wood. Fires destroy and lessen the supply of raw material with a resultant increase in the price of pa per stock. Hence, the relation between the cigarette butt in Maine and the newspaper in Texas.
 This is the day and age of news papers. Newsprint is a 100 per cent forest product, but few persons see their next years supply of newspapers in a grove of trees. They do not con- meet the passing of the penny paper with the burning of the forests.
 With only fifty million cords of spruce left in the regions of centrali- zation of the pulp and paper industry and about five and half million cords ground into pulp every year, the prob lem is simpler than How old Is Ann?"
 In spite of everything, within the next ten years, the pulp mills will be hard put to secure wood to keep their mills and machinery busy, if. And that is where we all come in. 'If'' we do not burn up any of the present supply, it will last that long. In this national forest district, S7 per cent of the forest fires are caused by mans careleSsness-bonfires, camp fires left burning, cigar and cigarette butts, hot pipe ashes, engine sparks, etc.

DOG CAUGHT HIS OWN FISH
Sportsman Given Authority for Re- markabIe Story That Appears in
 London Periodical.

The London "zoO" fishing cat which so steadfastly refuses to show itself except at meal times-has a rival in the fishing dog, says London Answers.
 A sportsman was on the west coast of Madagascar, when he observed a dog come out of the thick bush in front of him and trot briskly down to the edge of the sea. When it had got a little way into the water 1t stopped and remained perfectly still, as a heron might when fishing at home. Its glance was never once taken off the water.
 Suddenly 1t thrust Its head into an Oncoming wave, and reappeared with a large fish in its mouth. Quickly talk ing its capture ashore it sQuatted down and made a hearty meal. After a while the fishing operation was re- peated, and 1t was evident to the wit ness of the incident that the dog made a regular practice of 1t.

pea Drops From Plane.

Rantoul, nl.-'Bing," a fox terrier, made a descent of 1,5OO feet in para chute from an airplane at Chanute field. When 'Bing" landed he worked himself free from his harness, over came another dog sent to prevent his onward journey and ran to headQuar- ters with a message carried in a pouch suspended from his neck. The per formance was to show the practica- bility of using dogs to carry messages when an airplane is unable to land.

Thousands Have Kidney
 Trouble and Never Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview on the subject, made the aS- tonishing statement that one reason why 90 many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is 90 common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica. tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & O., Binghamton, N. r., for sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL

NEW YORK, Nov. Slower re- discount rates posted by federal re- serve banks-in some cases pre-war levels-impelled a remarkable change in the securities markets this week a shift of operations from stocks to bonds.
 These significant signs of relaxed credit conditions were not entirely of domestic origin. as evidenced by the reduction of the Bank of England rate and that of the Danish National bank.
 The one deduction drawn in re- sponsible financial quarters from these developments was that defla- ton in this country at least finally had fallen to a level which promoted freer use of funds for constructive purposes.
 This theory was offset in a mea- sure, however, by complaints eua- mating from mercantile interests that time money remained firm and all most unobtainable, save for the shorter maturities.
 Purchases of bonds were most ex- tensive in the United States war iS- sues, particularly the various Liberty 4A's and both issues of Victory notes Extreme advances of one to fully three points in these securities, witt Victory 4A's at par, exercised { strong sentimental effect.
 Many foreign bonds underwritteI for war expenditures, notably Frencl and Belgian issues, participated sub. stantially in the advace. Domesti, railway and industrial bonds wer only moderately responsive, although strong in the main.
 Stock market operations called fo little detailed comment. The turn over was fairly large and diversified but net results were unimportani except among shares susceptible t special influences or under pool con trol.
 While leading foreign exchange moved within narrow limits, furthe severe depreciation of German mark and almost all other remittances t central and eastern Europe revive figures of impending financial an other economic readjustments there
