find a wide use in all parts of the East
Any ,ne who has used bamboo
handled broom will appreciate Its
llghtness and the smooth finish to Its
surface, while the split strands of
bamboo are SO stiff and elastic that
they have been used most successfully
In broom mnking-they may even COM
pete with the brOom-corn straw for
broom manufacture.
Who knows but that the paper sup
ply of the future may come largely
from bamboo. Paper Is made from
the young stems In both the East and
West Indies and In China.
1t seems as II q bamboo could be
found for many kinds Of climates.
The bamboo is found In India, China,
Japan and In Africa and tropical
America. There are about 200 vari-
eties. Many species do well in Eng
lish gardens. The extensive cane
brakes Of southern United States are
a kind Of native Observation-Disclosures
Macros-perma. In short, 1t Will ap-
parently grow freely anywhere In trop-
ical and subtropical climates.
Every angler with any pride In his
tackle has a split-bamboo rod. 1t
makes no difference whether he is dy-
caster or balt-caster. II he Is both,
he has two split-bambo0 rods. The
bamboo is Imported and the rods are
made in this country. At rod making
the American leads the world. 1t
would be no small matter II the bam-
boo for these millions OF rods were
grown In this country.
While these are a few of the OBJ
vious uses which will probably be first
Investigated by Americans, II Is incon-
ceizRble that the ingenuity of the
American win not find new uses for
SO unique raw product as the bam-
boo. The grove at Savannah may
play a most important role In the edu-
cation OF the people Of this continent
in the uses and beauty Of this re-
markable plant.
Surely, with the Increasing depletion
Of our forests aud the exceedingly
high cost OF lumber and timber In
many places where the local supply
has been exhausted, the possibilities OF
the bamboo are well worth thorough
investigation. Doubtless It may not
be as good as our natural woods, but
It is likely that It can be used as a
fairly satisfactory substitute.

fore. grove OF bamboos is worthy
Of the widest popularity, and parks
and open places through the South
should plant them. 1t Is difficult TO
imagine a more wonderful place for
little children to play in than bam-
boo grove.
But there are other and more prac-
tical reasons for the distribution Of
the bamboo throughout the South. Its
young shoots furnlsh one Of the most
delicious of early vegetables. Prop
erly cooked, 1t has a freshness and
favor somewhat like sweet corn, but
Its texture is firmer. 1t comes into
the market In April and should quick
ly win Its proper place on the Amer
lean menu, where vegetables are always
desideratum.
To speak OF the timber uses Of the
bamboo Is q good deal like speaking
Of the timber uses of the pine, except
that the qualities OF the two are en-
tirely distinct. The peculiar proper
ties OF the bamboo come from the fact
that the trunks are composed of short,
hollow cylinders, making them the
lightest tlmbers for their strength Of
any known,
The fibers run from end to enl,
making II possible TO split bamboo
pole into strands or strips more eas-
lily than any other wood. These fbers
are among the strongest. most elastic
known. and II Is the bewilderment OF
occldentals visiting Japan to see how
many are the uses Of this peculiar
timber.
For ladders. their lIghtness and
strength render the poles remarkably
well adapted: there are no fruIt-pick-
Ing ladders which compare with them.
For fishing poles. the small canes
are imported by the millions from ia

OF which we use $6.00O.000 worth ev-

In 1902 he became interested in the
possibilities Of the cultivation OF the
JApanese bamboo In America. Plants
were brought back TO this country and
planted, and the result In few years
was iuxuriant grove. said to ber the
only one In this country. The bamboo
mas been used for decorative effects in
landscape gardening In the United
States.
A bamboo grove is strangely differ

dense, deciduous tropical forests Of
Java and Sumatra, the evergreen Or
and spruce forests OF Canada, the
eucalyptus-covered plains Of Australia,

date-palm groves OF Egypt and the
fern.tree forests OF Hawaii, are all
different from one another. but they
have this In common--the trees have
trunks, and above them are the spread

The critical time Of woman's life
usually comes between the years Of
45 and 80, and is often beset with an
noying symptoms such as nervous
ness, irritability, melancholia. Heat
flashes or waves of heat appear to
pass over the body, cause the face to
be very red and often bring on head

Another annoying symptom which
comes at this time is an inability to
recall names, dates or other small
facts. This is liable to omake woman
lose confidence in herself. She be-
