What To Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne- ceaadty of being compelled to go ofter during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swwnp^Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most dis tressing cases. If you need a medicine yon should have the best.

Neglect of Yellow Pine Forests. In many parts of the country the most progressive men of the lumber Industry have felt the greatest necessity of adopting better methods of protecting their timber holdlmgs from fire but In some places there still remains much to be done. This is particularly true through a part of the great yellow pine belt of the South upon which the naval stores industry of the world Is largely de pendent. A timber owner of Florida, in writing to the Forest Service at Washington, talks of the matter as follows: “Speaking of fire protection: There is absolutely nothing being done. The turpentine people, to protect their turpentine timber, rake around the trees during early winter, and then burn the woods. This is dohe to keep off the forest fires of early spring. These fires are supposed to be set by the cattle interest, for the purpose of burning off the dry grass, so that the young grass will come up, on which the cattle feed. In do ing this, they destroy millions of young pines that have Just started to grow and are too small and tender to stand the heat of the fire. "If these fires could be stopped, it would solve the problem of re foresting, as far as Florla Is con cerned. I have thought for a long time that a no fence law would go far toward . stopping the burning of the woods. As it is now, there is bo regulation. “What I mean to say is, that if you own a small piece of land, say 40 acres, and had 10,000 bead of cat tie, you are at liberty to graze your cattle on my 10,000 acres of land, or on my neighbor’s 20.000 acres of land, and we cannot help ourselves. If we would catch you firing the woods and had a witness to prove It, we could prosecute you, but this is hard to do. If we bad a no fence law, you as a cattle owner, would be compelled to keep your cattle in an quantities are consumed la the manu facture of insulating materials, metal polishes, and cheap perfume.

For more than a year I was subjected to attacks of this com plaint. My kidneys failed to work properly and from the excessive uric acid in my system, i felt languid and tired, suffering a great deal from rheumatic twinges all throughout my body.

The thing that is ne cessary to make the trees healthy and vigorous goes up in smoke every year. “What I have mentioned,, and the many destructive methods being practiced in the cutting of timber in the forest and in the manufacturing of it, is costing the South millions of dollars of which she is taking no account, and the present low prices of lumber and naval stores will add to the destruction, for the reason that many of the owners of timber are being sent all over the world, and in the majority of cases we are not making expenses out of our com modity, with a total loss of our tim ber which is really valuable enough to bring a good, liberal stumpage. We are selling our turpentine at 35 and 36 cents per gallon, and it will cost 31.00 per gallon to reproduce the forest from which it is being taken. The same thing will apply to rosin. We are giving the world our crop of lumber at an average of about $15 per thousand feet that will cost us from $40 to 50 per thousand feet to reproduce.” Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup is used nearly every where, because it not only heals irritation of the throat and stops the cough, but It drives the cold out of the system throught it laxative principle by as- been correctly Injected, this plan has suring a free and gentle action of the bowels, and that is the only way to cure a cold. You can’t cure It so long Pine Oil and Its Use*. A striking example of a seemingly useless waste product of the forest , whicn has developed Into a market- j able commodity of no small import ance, is what is known as pine oil. probably given the best results. It is true that a great many piles treat ed with creosote have been attacked by marine borers and destroyed, but in such cases there is usually a good reason to account for the failure. For instance, the use of timber of such density that the preservative cannot be forced into It, the use of green timber, the lack of sufficient preservative, or the use of a preserva tive of Inferior grade may prevent the treatment from being completely successful. Along the Pacific coast, particular ly in California, large quantities of yellow pine are found. This timber embodies all of the characteristics of a good pile timber, with the one exception of durability. Western yellow pine is open-grained, and lends itself readily to a successful preservative treatment with creosote. Tnere is no good reason, therefore, why this timber should not be nsed to replace Douglas fir wherever the yellow pine can be obtained at a reasonable cost.
