The sawmills have deemed it important to utiliza thin saws instead of converting an unwarrantable mount of good material into sawdust. This tendency to economize in the manufacture of lumber is the suggestion that the end i3 in sight. Thoughtful people who are inter ested in forest lands as well as those who derive on income from the products of the forests are giving heed to the REFORESTING OF LANDS which have contributed to the demands of civilization. If an economical wood preservative will add 50 per cent to the efficiency of timber the demands on the forest will bo correspondingly decreased, and those who use as well as those who provide are much interested in the progress of this feature in the bureau of forestry. We do not anticipate and practice these economics because timber lias been ABUNDANT. We are, however, passing through a period of transition, and the admirable work of the bureau of forestry in co operating with the different states to achieve results which will mark a new epoch in forestry will be to the lasting benefit of future gener ations. Along with the accomplishment of reforesting we should not be unmindful of the TREMENDOUS WASTE AND PERMANENT DESTRUCTION OF THE SOIL RESULTING FROM FOREST FIRES. Concerted action must bo insured for the CAREFUL WATCHING AND SUCCESSFUL PREVENTING OF FIRES IN THE FORESTS.

By the Rev. HERBERT S. JOHNSON of Botlon. CITERE is no more potent influence for good in the modern community today than feminine fashion. Not only are the ever changing fashions of women ONE OF THE CHIEF DELIGHTS OF CIVILIZED COMMUNITIES, but it is a safe statement to make that we have today no more CONCLU SIVE KEY TO A WOMAN'S MENTAL AND MORAL DE VELOPMENT THAN THE CLOTHES SHE WEARS. Much has been said of the high cost of living. The immense sums of money spent annually in this country on apparently useless articles of women's personal decoration are cited as arguments in favor of American extravagance, when as a matter of fact this ITEM IS ONE OF OUR SMALLEST NATIONAL EXTRAVA GANCES. A girl or WOMAN WHO IS SELF RESPECTING WILL ALWAYS DRESS FASHIONABLY AND WELL. Tho hobble skirt, the poach basket hat, high heeled shoes and all the thou sand and one foibles of the feminine sex are entertaining and products of good. . A GIRL WHO, ON THE OTHER HAND, DOES NOT CARE ABOUT DRESS AND LATEST FASHIONS IS NOT A NORMAL GIRL. THE YOUNG MAN WHO CONTEMPLATES MARRIAGE NOWADAYS MAY FIGHT SHY OF THE GIRL OF FASHION, BUT HE MAKES A MIS TAKE. HE MAY BE A GAINER AT FIRST FINANCIALLY, BUT IN THE END HE PAYS A TERRIBLE PRICE FOR HIS SHORTSIGHTED NESS. THE GIRL WHO IS LAX ABOUT HER PERSONAL APPEAR ANCE IS LAX MENTALLY AND MORALLY". She is not made of the stuff that turns out self respecting children. She is cither a visionary and as such an unreliable clement in a com munity or she is downright LAX AND SHIFTLESS. In either case she is NOT A SAFE PROPOSITION FOR THE ORDI NARY YOUNG MAN. I'mu ..i t uil.i 's lui'.y Wii! Sl.opp was an Oiiuilia l :.ssen ier on No. 1." this n.omiug. I. W.
