Why That Lame Back?
Morning lameness, sharp twinges
when bending and an all day back-
ache; each is cause enough to suspect
kidney complaint. If you feel tired all
the time and are annoyed by diz?.y
spells, headaches and irregular kidney
action, you have additional proof and
should act quickly to prevent more se-
rious kidney trouble. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills, the remedy that is rec-
ommended everywhere by grateful
users. Ask your neighbor!
A Texas Case
W. V. Beneon, re-
tired farmer, Granger,
Tex., says: "I would
get an attack of back-
ache and stiffness
through my muscles.
If J stooped over it
would catck me in the
small of my back and I
could hardly straight-
en. My kidneys acted
irregularly. I began
taking Doan's Kidney
Pills and they have
never failed to cure '^eryPktiai

HE forests of the Pa-
cific coast states com-
prise our last great
body of coniferous tim-
ber and contain prac-
tically half of the re-
maining saw timber in
the United States, ac-
cording to a report on
timber depletion made
to the United States
senate by the forest service of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The development of the lumber
industry of the region, however, has
already progressed far. Within the
last year shipments to eastern markets
have largely increased, and points for-
merly supplied by yellow pine have
been invaded up to the very boun-
daries of the yellow-pine-produc-
ing territory. Approximately three
and one-half times as much timber is
bejng taken from the Pacific coast for-
ests as is produced by growth, while
for timber of saw timber size the de-
pletion is nine times the growth.
Large Virgin Stands.
The commercial forest area of the
Pacific coast states, the report says,
has been reduced to approximately
57.5S6.000 acres. "A large percentage
of this, about .39,370,000 acres, is in
virgin stands." Not all of this, how-
ever, is accessible high-grade timber,
for there is a large percentage of rel-
atively inferior and inaccessible areas.
"This is an important factor which is
usually overlooked in the considera-
tion of the western timber supply."
Second growth of saw timber size cov-
ers about 5.292,000 acres, and smaller
second growth of 6,425.000 acres, while
non-restocking forests cover 6,500,000
acres.
The present stand of timber is esti-
mated to contain about 1,141,000,000
board feet. Of this amount, Oregon
has a total stand of nearly 494.000.000,-
000 feet, Washington lias 334,000,000.-
000 feet, and California over 313.000.-
000,000 feet. More than one-half of
the total, or about 686,000,000,000
board feet, occurs in the Douglas fir
belt ol western Oregon and Washing-
ton. Douglas fir comprises approxi-
mately 558,000.000,000 feet, and of this
505,000,000.000 feet, or nearly one-
fourth of the remaining saw timber in
the United States, is in Washington
And Oregon.
Cut Over Area Large.
Already there is a cut-over area of
Approximately 6.125,000 acres, the re-
port. states. Of this amount about
two-thirds is in Washington and Ore-
gon, and a very large percentage is
west of the Cascades in the Douglas
fir belt. The area burned over annual-
ly in the three Pacific coast states is
found by the forest service to amount
to 450,000 acres, and the loss in tim-
ber to about 600,000,000 board feet.
The annual drain on the forests of
the Pacific coast states is estimated to
be about 11.330,000,000 feet, accord-
ing to the report. The total annual
growth of the forests is equivalent to
about 2.100.000,000 board feet. Deple-
tion of the forests, therefore, approxi-
mates three and one-half times the
growth, while depletion of saw timber
Is approximately nine times the
growth of the same class of material.
One reason for the comparatively
small amount of growth is, of course,
the fact that very much of the terri-
tory is occupied by virgin stands.
In spite of the tremendous supplies
of timber, in certain localities a large
proportion of local timber has been
cut and logging operations are being
pushed back to the less accessible tim-
ber in the rougher mountain regions,
the report points out. "The exhaus-
tion of local supplies is a vital mat-
ter to local prosperity and develop-
ment. It means the cessation of a lo-
cal industry, the abandonment of itn-

provements, rapid depreciation of in-
vestments. and other losses which the
industry, the community, and the con-
sumer must shoulder."
Being Cut Rapidly.
The timber stand in California is be-
ing cut at the rate of about 1.500,000.-
000 feet annually. "Practically all of
the cut, up to the present time, has
been in the most accessible stands,
whereas a considerable part of the re-
maining timber is comparatively in-
accessible." the report says. "Logging
operations are removing annually a
little less than 2 per cent of western
Washington's and less than 1 per cent
of western Oregon's timber. Yet the
reasonably accessible timber and that
in private ownership is going very
much faster; and, with decreasing
southern pine production, enormous
pressure to increase the cut may be
expected."
As an example, the situation in
Gray's Harbor county is cited: "About
20 years ago there were in this coun-
ty 750.000 acres of timber and only
about 75,000 acres of cuttings. Novv
there are 355,000 acres of stumps.
One-sixteenth of the county's private
timber land is being cut over annually.
In 25 years the supply of privately
owned virgin timber will be gone."
It has been found that in western
Washington about 85,000 acres annual-
ly, and in eastern Washington 39,000
acres annually were cut over from 1909
to 1919. All things considered, it is
expected by an authority on the lum-
ber supplies of Washington that the
privately-owned virgin timber supply
of the state will be virtually gone in 20
years unless forest policies are
changed.
Local Consumption a Factor.
Forest depletion in Washington has
proceeded much further than in Ore-
gon. the report says; and while an ex-
pansion of the industry in Washing-
ton under the increased demands from
eastern markets may reasonably be
expected, by far the greater part of
the expansion may be looked for in
Oregon. "The reason for the slower
development, in Oregon lies in the in-
accessibility of its Douglas fir stands.
Many operations now being seriously
considered for Oregon will require
transportation and other investments
running into the millions of dollars be-
fore any timber can be taken."
Local consumption must be taken
into account in considering the de- j
mand upon the forests, the report
points out. The situation in Califor-
nia is cited as an example. That state
has been an important source of ex-
port material from the earliest days.
Large quantities of 'umber are still ex-
ported from it to the east and to for-
eign countries, but the state's popula-
tion and agricultural and industrial
development have more than kept pace
with the output of lumber, so that it
is doubtful whether production has
exceeded consumption since about
1875. "The per capita lumber cut of
the state has been approximately
equal or slightly in excess of the av-
erage per capita consumption of the
United States since between 1869 and
1879, while the average consumption
of the state is probably somewhat
greater than for the country as a
whole." the report says. "In 1919,
southern California alone used the
equivalent of about one-half the total
cut of the state, a per capita consump-
tion of at least twice that of the whole
United States."
Big Increase In Cut.
It can be expected, according to the
report, that the lumber cut for the Pa-
cific coast states as a whole will In-
crease very materially during the next
ten years. It says: "A gradual rise
in logging costs is Inevitable as the
more accessible stands are cut, and It
becomes necessary to extend opera-
tions to the more mountainous logging
chances. The timber resources of the
Pacific coast states are very large, but
it would be very unwise to overesti-
mate them, for much less than the to-
tal stand is readily available. Exist-
ing transportation facilities to the east
are already overburdened with pres-
ent traffic, and they will have to be
very materially increased to meet-the
probable reduction in eastern and
southern lumber cut during the next
ten years."
Although the Pacific coast states
have large amounts of timber, the re-
port points out that they will be called
on to supply increasing amounts of
lumber for the whole country. The
danger is that, like other forested re-
gions, they will be considered "inex-
haustible" until'it is too late. While
the government has established-a num-
ber of national forests in these states
which are devoted to growing timber,
other measures are necessary to pre-
vent depletion of the Pacific coast for-
ests.
Relieves Bees of Labor
Metal Honey Comb Helps Industrial
Insects to Lay Up More Honey
For Their Owner.
"Comb foundation" (originally the
Invention of a woman) i: a familiar
commercial product nowadays, being
made of beeswax and turned out by a
simple machine that somewhat resem-
bles a clothes vyinger. ;
Rectangular slteets of this material
are placed in the frames of the bee-
hive, and, being already laid out with
suitable foundations for the cells,
they relieve the bees of just that much
work, the industrious insects having
only to build up the walls to such
ueight as the spacing of the frames
permits.
A new idea, said to have proved en-
tirely successful, is that of making the
foundation siieets of aluminum instead
of beeswax. When the metal has
been brushed lightly wP melted wax
it serves the purpose just as well, the
bees being quite content to build upon
it. One advantage of the aluminum
sheets is that they are not fragile.
Safety First.
Preparatory to showing Charlie his
new sister, his father said. "Whai do
you say to getting a new baby at our
house, sonny?" Charlie thought a
moment and then said. "We'd betler
be careful, daddy; let's just rent one
till we see how we like it, for Billy
(Charlie's chum) says he Is tirvj of
his; it yells all the time."

PLAYING UP TO THE TEACHER CLERK MEANT TO GET EVEN
Indianapolis Youngster Had a Pretty
Shrewd Idea of What He Was
Doing, After All.
John Arthur is a pupil in a Jeffer-
•sonville departmental school, and had
?o write an essay on Woodrow Wilson,
among others. He evinced such a high
regard for the president, especially in
his managment of the world war.
as to express the view that he war*
even greater than Washington or Lin-
coln. He said they made a fine show-
ing in the little wars they had to han-
dle, but could hardly, he thought, have
got through the big one. His father,
seeing the essay, ventured the opin-
ion that the writer was too positive
in his statement, although admiring
Wilson himself. John Arthur showed
he was perhaps something of a dip-
lomat as well as an essayist.
"Oh, well." he remarked, "the teach-
er is a Democrat, anyhow."—Indian-
apolis News.
Losing a Favorite Theme.
"Tm kind of sorry to see this votes
for women question so close to settle-
ment." remarked Mr. Meekton.
"Don't you approve of votes for
women ?"
"Yes indeed. But I've heard Henri-
etta talk on the tariff and the League
of Nations and most everything and I
honestly think a suffrage speech is the
best thing she does."
If you take care of the pennies the
dollars will probably be blown by your
heirs.
Of Course Congregation Could Get
Away, But He Had the Minister
in Tight Place.
There was had blood between the
parish clerk and the minister of a cer-
tain country church. Neither of them
ever missed a chance of getting a bit
of his own back.
One Sunday the clerk had a special
invitation out to church with a friend
after"the evening service, whereupon
he asked the minister if he would
mind keeping his sermon short.
It was too good a chance to miss.
The minister took a few deep breaths,
and preached for one hour and a quar-
ter hy the clock.
By this time the old clerk's wrath
was at boiling point. He hardly wait-
ed for the preacher to resume his
spat before springing up and announc-
ing loudly:
"Psalm one hundred and nineteen.
Fro' end t' end. He's preached all
evening, and we'll sing all neet!"—»

Seeking a Variation.
"Did you know people are talking
about the wav you misquoted the
piece of poetry you introduced in
your speech?"
"I did It on purpose," replied Sena-
tor Sorghum. "I thought It would
be desirable to do something, however
slight, to shift the argument."

who do not happen to step in front
