FOREST FIRES TO BE DISCUSSED AT
 STATE CAPITOL

The forest fire conferenc which is to be held in the Capitol at Hartford ct 10 a. m- on the 10th bids fair to be of unusual interest. The great damage done by fires this spring has aroused the public and especially the land owners to the seriousness of this problem. There were fourteen trelne endous confiagrations which burned over 1000 acres each. Alto gether thirty-fiye serious fires burned half of the area covered during the season and accounted for somewhat more than half the damage.
 Governor Lake will open the meet ing if his other duties permit. The governor has long been interested in 1 forestry matters Col. H. S. Graves, formerly chief forester of U. S.. will ence. His subject is Reducing the Tire Menace" Col. Graves is the
 originator of the movement for 9 national forestry policy, and it is well known that he believes that the pub lie has certain rights which must be placed above private privilege. It Is expected that his address will be full of suggestions of practical value in eliminating fires in the future. The question of railroad fires is al- 1 ways an important one This year 1 fires in the state, and with the excep-
 ton of nine which were set by the Central Vermont R. R., all the rest
 were due to the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. | burning ties at time when this
 should not be allowed; a few were
 probably due to the fremen throwing
 hot cHnkers from the engines. but
 most of them were due to defective
 locomotives. In the Adirondack re-
 zion the railroads are required to op- | crate oil-hurning locomotives. This
 may be the solution of the problem
 in Connecticut especially on such | lines the Central New England R. | R., where alone tIirty-two fires burn
 ed over 17s5 acres this spring. Present l prices of coal, with the increa asing diff | ficulty of obtaining it, have removed the advantage which coal formerly had over oil locomotive fuel. The | only obstacle to it's general use is the cost of equipping the locomotive for this purpose. Engineer Maintenance
 of Way, W. J. Backes, will present the N. Y, N. H. c H. R. R. at this conference and tell what plans his
 company has for meeting the fire problem.
 F There will be ample opportunity for general discussion, and it is ex- pected that many constructive sug-
 gestions will be brought out by those lpreSent.

About months ago my father was very sick with his stomach, which had been troubling him for several years. Three doctors said he had cancer and one said 1t was gall stones-an agreed an operation necessary, but on account of his age I was afraid to risk it. l told a friend about it who said his wife had been through the same trouble and had been cured by taking Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. I at once bought a bottle for father and he is now as strong as a bear and can eat more ham and cabbage than any 8 men," It removes the catarrhal mus sous from the intestinal tract, and a1- lays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and in testinal ailments, including appendi- citis.

 CRACK AT THE BRITISH

Dundee, Scotland, Aug. 12.- 'If Englishmen have laughed at me, by gosh I have made them pay for it, said Harry Lauder at a city reception
 "When they were laughing" he continued, "I was knocking the sixpence out of their pockets.
 "I have saved some of the six pence I have given some of them away. I think I have lost some of them, but we Scotsmen are all right.

ITS \ QUEER WORD!

Los Angeles, Cal. Aug. 12.- Southern California ranchers had a new worry today. They were trying to figure out what is a lemon-the kind that grows on trees, of course
 Dr. W. P. Rfngle, of the Kansas State Normal school, says Q lemon is not a fruit by q berry. Then he supplements that statement by adding that 9 berry is not a ber- ", but fruit.
 But Dr. Geogre Clements head of the horticultural department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, says:
 "why not say a emon is a cherry, which is just as sensible ss to call it a berry? A lemon IS fruit wher it has reached such a degree of cultivation as to make If edfbie. otherwise lemon"
