Children are the most precious heritage of the common- wealth, and the neglect of their physi- cal well-being is today a source of the “Justice to the greatest waste of our national re- sources.” Dr. Schaeffer also declares that many of the counties are so large and the schools so numerous that superin- tendents cannot give them the super- vision they require. etl WATCHED FIFTEEN YEARS. «For fifteen years I have watched the working of Bucklen’s: Arnica Salve ; and it has never failed to cure any sore, boil, ulcer or burn to which it was ap- plied.

This question has been asked over and over again, this summer, by readers of the accounts of the destructive fires which have been raging in all parts of the country 4 Campers and locomotives, is the usual answer. Many of the other things which start blazes in the forest are forgotten. It is true that perhaps one-half to three-fourths of the forest fires do begin as a result of the care- lessness of some camper, or from sparks flying from locomotives, but there are a number of things which set the woods afire. A complete report of forest fires on the private forests of the country and their causes is not kept by anyone. “Uncle Sam.” however, is most careful to account for the damage done by the blazes on the timberland under forest administration, aggregating about 168.- 000.000 neres. and each year the total area butned over, the timberland burned over, the amount of timber de- stroyed and its value, the cost of fight- ing fires. and the causes of fires are carefully checked up. These reports are made at the end of the eanlendnr year, and the announcement of this year’s losses will therefore not be known for more than two months. Last year’s figures, however. give =» good idea of the things which cause fires in forests. Of the 1,355 fires dis- covered on the National Forests, last year, all of which were checked by the rangers before they had burned over fourteen hundredths of one per cent. of the National Forest area, campers caused 348, while railroads followed next with 273; lightning came next, with 178; donkey engines used in lumbering operations, fourth, with 65; careless brush burning hy homestead- ers clearing land, 34; fires caused by incendiaries and those set by herders and hunters, 30. For more than 400 of the fires the cause is not known. This is not strange when it is remembered that a fire may smolder for days, if the air is too thick to permit the smoke to be seen at a distance before it breaks out when fanned by a wind so as to re- veal its presence to the watchful forest officer. While campers caused, more fires than locomotives, last year, there are many seasons when the railroads hold undisputed claim to first place. f Forest fires started by both are mostly un- necessary. If campers would exercise care in starting camp fires and be sure that they are extinguished before they are left, and if the railroad companies would use the most modern and ef- ficient spark arresters, it is reasonable to think that the annual forest fire loss could be reduced more than one-half. Lightning ranks third among the causes of fires, and, of course, man has no greater responsibility in this case than to put the fire out as | possible after : disco y Careless nesteaders and soon as | always prevents the development of pneumonia.

Tue way to build up a community is for every person ‘no it, who can, io pu’ some money into industries that give the people employment, and push the industries to success. Industries that last all the year romnd are the best; but those that last part of the year are better than nome. The most valuable power orn earth ‘is hu- man power, and when it is not em- ployed, it is not only lost, but it also consumes part of what others earn. Work creates wealth; work sets money in motion; work pays debts; work is the vital power in prosperity, and that city, that community, and that nation whose people are idle, are poor, and poor in proportion to the number that work and the time they work. Heaven's greatest earthly bless- ing to any people is to give them honest, remunerative work. : vitals of the when spider roosts in the THE BLANKS WE KEEP.
