In the succeeding decade ended In

curing such materials with Increasing

Public Forests Solution.
The eventual solution of the prob
lem presented by an active foreign
trade Is identical with the remedy for
depletion through domestic consump
tionnamely, not to restrict tlio use,
but to Increase the production of tim
ber by getting all forest-growing lands
at work. This remedy, however, will
not entirely meet the need throughout
the world for timber of high qunllty.
As a rule such material cannot be
grown In less than 150 years, and even
If every acre of denttded land In the
United States were planted today, a
long time would elapse before tho de
pletion of high-quality stumpnge which
hiiH been cut so freely from our vlrglr
forests could be made good.
Furthermore, the prlvnto lnml own
ers can seldom afford to carry timber
crops during the long period necessary
to produce material of high quality.
The most effective means of overcom
ing the shortage of high-grade timber
Is the creation of public forests, which
enn lie utilized to the extent necessary
for the production of largo thither ot
of special products.

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is thnt bo ninny products that arc ex
tensively advertised, nil at once drop out
of sight and arc soon forgotten? The
reason is plain the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for

nnd never hesitate to recommend, for in

No other kidney remedy has so large s ,

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swotnp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
