An area half as large as (he staU |
af Rhode Island is stripped of its i
spruce every year to make wood
pulp. Wood has been stripped from ,
the lulls eagerly and trees have not j
l»een planted to take its place. Kvery
material interest is threatened b.v
the present wasteful methods."
These statements from a leading
paper trade journal seems extrava
gant on first reading, but their au
thenticity receives good support in
the report of the t'nited States for.
[*.st service, that the publishers of the
country are using more than three
and one half million cords of pulp
wood each year. Further support
to the statements is given by the « s.
timates which show that a big New
York daily, one of those with vari
ous morning and evening editions
which are said to have an aggregate
daily circulation of nearly a million
copies, used 77,<W3,*7"> pounds of
•vhite newspapi r last year. This is
an average of illl,s7'! poun'ds a day
The large Sunday edition is <.-ti
mated to require riO per cent of the
paper used each week, while the
week day editions take up the re
maining 70 per cent.
Figuring the composition of this
paper requires approximately 11,5
acres. These ligures allow a stand
of nine cords of wood to the acre,
which is considered the average for
a large area, although certain small
stands can be found where the yield
is much heavier.
The amount of wood used by this
one New York paper seems to afford
a good excuse for the white paper
scare, which is making publisher*
cut down the size of their papers or
take the other alternative and raise
the price. Experts say, however, j
ihat the final solution of the wood j
pulp question will have to come
from the adoption of a system of for-,
est management by mill owners to- !
gether with the adoption of less!
wasteful methods in working up]
their products and the study of thei
utilization of woods other than j
spruce for the manufacture of pulp.
The annual meeting of the
stock holders of the First National
Bank of Onshore was held Tues- j
day. The following gentleman were!
named as board of directors: John j
O. Reecer, Samuel Cole and F. Q. !
Sylvara, of Onshore; Fisher ami j
Lincoln Wells, of Wyalusing; S. O. \
Sterigere, New Albany; J. J. Han-j

"People do not have the whoie- i
some fear of grip they should have." :
says a well known physician. ~I»r Ip
is dangerous, but in almost every i
instance could be avoided by a few
simple precautions and epidemics a
vcrted by complete isolation of the
patient. Ijuick weather changes
cause colds often, but are not respon
sible for grip other than when a per- i
son is suffering from cold, swollen
and irritated mucus membranes, he
or she is perhaps more susceptible to
the attact of she grip germ. There :
fore if you have a cold be very care
ful to keed away from grip infected
homes.
"Grip with its complication ofliii
affect the nose, eyes and ears serious
ly, and often permanently. Scarce- i
ly a case of pneumonia but what has
its beginning in a case of grip and
when it has its origon in grip it is
one of the most stubborn diseases
which the physicians have to com
bat."
