I'd his attention throughout the even

He did his best, but suddenly, as he
was playing the role to the limit Of his

distress, and with tears in her eyes
'he looked up and said: Give been

Countrys Wealth in
Timber Being Wasted

II any proof was needed that we
are a wasteful nation 1t could be
found in the way we handle our wood
resources. A leading lumberman Of
the West states that more timber Is
destroyed by decay than by fire. A
prominent entomologist declares that
insects destroy more timber than is
lost by fire.
According to the best available
data forest fires destroy 100000 feet
Of timber annually, more than the
state Of Pennsylvania uses. II as
much timber is lost by decay and as
much by insect attack as Is lost by
fire, we have three times as much as
is burned, or 6,750OOO,OOO feet. This
represents about one-elghth Of the
timber used in the United States an
nually. In other words. we lose every
year a 45-day supply or a one-year
supply every eight years.
In addition 10 this, greater
source Of waste exists In the methods
Of manufacture. II is estimated that
the possible salvage Of timber each
year under better known processes Of
production would amount to the
growth which 100000 acres Of our
average forest land produces annual

Panama, or yellow-neck Amazon,
bird which arrives all green from

ever. II begins changing its plumage
and It's head turns yellow. Its home
is not Panama, as its name implies,
but Nicaragua. This parrot, when
given schooling while young, is de-
clared to be the most intelligent Of all

ing II, however, is the Mexican "dou-
BILE yellow-head," a bird known as
"the human note talker." and which
may he bought for SIS in most any
market. Ordinarily, parrots speak in

Elections. the dealers say, but the
Mexican double yellow-head" comes
as near initiating the human voice as
any bird known. Neither the red head
nor the dwarf brought from Mexico

Applicants for Insurance Should

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. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, il
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement hat one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is sc
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not ven suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root 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..
