A western manufacturer has brought out a new phase of the much discussed movement for the conservation of natural resources. In a letter to the National Conservation Commission, parts of which they have made public, he points out that not only ought pru- dence to be used in the consumption of the country’s natural products, but that the possibility of a double saving lies in working up these raw materials and exporting the manufactured ar- ticles rather than the original iron or wood or other unfinished products. “Broadly stated,” he says, “the propo- sition is this: When we were in new country ‘and our industrial life was that of .a:colony, it was quite feasible to ex- port the riches that nature had treas- ured up on this continent. Our peopu- lation has increased enormously, and we must aim to get into a position 'where we ean export labor instead of products. Every child that is born in the country brings two hands with it, but its presence dods not add to the stores of nature. When we export pe- troleum, lumber, iron and other ma. terials, we are taking something from the wealth of the country. In export- ing highly finished produets containing quality labor, we are placing into the foreign markets the labor of our people that increases direotly with every in- ¢rease in population. I have heard professors of politieal economy in Ger- many say, ‘Let as buy our raw mate- rials abroad and export them in a high- ly finished state. We shall then gain a double advantage, the one in that we do not deplete our natural stores, and the other in this, that then our people will be able to rise to a higherstandard of living, for those who do quality work | are better paid.’ ’* This idea is along the same line of | vation have been argument that the advocates of conser- | presenting—that | proprietor. waste consists not only in misuse of natural resources, but just us much in the failure to utilize to the fullest ex- tent economically possible—but it rep- resents another step in that line. The man who makes the suggestion is the treasurer of a big Indiana man- ufacturing company, which has Leen making threshing machinery and engines for more than half a century. His long business experience has given him a first-band knowledge of the progress of the manufacturing industry in this country, and he has supplement- ed this knowledge by observations abroad. “In our own business,” he says, “we are feeling the dearth of lumber and anxiously looking around for substi- tutes that do not, however, furnish us with what we need for our separators and hullers. The increasing prices of this material will hamper us, especially in foreign competition. “I wish that I could tell you in dollars and cents what the floods of recent years have cost us. One flood at Kan- sas City, where we had a six-story warehouse, cost usin actual cash $9,730, not to speak of the loss of trade. This year’s high water at that place did our business damage amounting to prob- ably more than $35,000 or $40,000. We must have some regulation of the waters of the country, so that elements of uncertainty and loss will be elimi- nated from business. “But there is a further consideratien that calls for the extension of navigable waterways wherever that is feasible. Thirty or forty years ago our raw ma- terials were at our doors. Lumber was cut two miles from our factory. Now our lumber comes from Louisiana, and some of it even from the Pacific Coast. Our products used to be sold in the immediate vicinity. Now, they they go thousands of miles across the continent, and the item of transporta- tion has become an -important one in the cost of our business. The time is just coming when we can enter the South American markets to advantage and dislodge the European manufac- turers who have commanded their trade for the last fifty years. We can do this if we get a waterway from Chicago to the Gulf, and thence by the Panama Canal into the Western half of the South American continent. If the Chicago to St. Louis big waterway is built, the Central Western states in ‘the district around Chicago will be- come the greatest manufacturing cen- ter of the world, but to compete with England and Germany, we must have water freight rates. “During six years’ residence in Ger- many I saw how much is being done there toward the preservation of for- ests, and watched with keen interest the effect of the canals that were built by the Prussian government upon the development of the industry of the country. The rise in land values alone would have paid the cost of digging the canals, twice over. The effect of making‘the Mississippi navigable to its tributaries would be to bring all the adjacent lund within touch of the world’s markets. Farming would be more profitable, and the value of American lands would be enhanced. “Water power as a source of energy will have a determining influence upon our national life in the future. Its passing entirely out of public control would cause much hardship during tre generations to come.” A PERSONAL APPEAL.

Tabulation of the popular vote for President has been completed. Taft polled 7.637,676 votes, and Bryan 6,393, 182. Taft's plurality oxer Bryan, there- fore, was 1,244,494. The other eandidates polled the following tetals: Debs (Socialist), 449,651; Chafin (Prohibi- tion), 241,252; Hisgen (Independence), 83,186; Watson (Populist), 33,871; Gil- haus (Soc-Labor), 15421. Taft had a popular majority exer all his apponents of 423,113 in a total vote of 14,852,239. It is therefore appareatthat Taft was the favorite not only of a majority of the states, which alone would have insured h's election, but also of a mijofly of all the individual voters of the country. The fact that lhe ran a million and a quarter votes ahead of his nearest eom- petitor, Bryam, is added proof of the widespread popularity of the Pres® ident-eleet. MRS. McRANEY’S EXPERIENCE. Mrs. M. McRaney, Prentiss, Miss, writes: “I was confined to my bed for three months with kiduey ahd bladder troable, and was treated by two phy- sicians, but failed to get relief. No hu- man tongue can tell how I suffered, and I had given up hope of ever get- ting well until I began taking Foley's Kidney Remedy. After taking two bottles I felt like a new person, and feel it my duty to ted suffering women what Foley’s Kidney Remedy did for me”, Elk Lick Pharmacy, E, H. Miller, 1-1 GOOD HOME RECIPE. Home and Try it, Anyway. Get from any prescription pharma- cist the following: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce ; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well ina bottle and take a teaspoonful dose after each meal and at bedtime. The above is considered as the most certain prescription ever written to re- lieve Backache, Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder and all forms of Urinary diffi- culties. This mixture acts promptly on the eliminative tissues of the Kid- neys, enabling them to filter and strain the uric acid and other waste matter from the blood which causes Rheuma. tism. afflictions may not feel inclined to place much confilence in this simple mixture, yet those who have tried it say the results gre simply surprising, the relief being effected without the slightest injury to the stomach or other organs. Mix some and give it a trial. It cer- tainly comes highly recommended. It is the prescription of an eminent au- thority, whose entire” reputation, it is said, was established by it. A druggist here at home, when asked, stated that he could either supply the ingredients or mix the prescription for our readers, also recommends it as harmless. Wood Still Principal Material Used in Building Construction. Great as the advance in fire-proof construction has been during the last ten years, there has been no let-up in the use of lumber, and both architects and builders find themselves so depend. ent on wood today that they are com- pelled to admit that the forests of the country are likely to be the chief source of building material for many years tO come. “The use of cement, terra cotta, brick and stone, with a framework of steel will make it possible soon to do away with wood entirely,” is a remark often heard, and, indeed, when one stands on lower Broadway and looks up at the towering skyscrapers, the statement seems to contain much truth. As a matter of fact, however, the popular idea that fire-proof materials will do away with the need of using lumber in a comparatively few years is a very erroneous one. All of the various fire- proof materials going into the approv- ed construction of the more substan- tial building are used in greater quan- tities now than the world dreamed of a few years ago, yet the heavy demand for lumber continues. That wood predominates is shown by the annual building records. Of the permits used for buildings erected last year, approximately 61 per cent. were constructed of wood, and the remaining 39 per cent. of fire resisting material, according to a report issued by the Geological Survey on operations in forty-nine leading cities of the country. These figures are the most significant when it is realized that they only rep- resent the building activities in the largest cities; they do not take into ac- count the construction of dwellings, stores and other buildings in the thou- sands of small cities and towns scatter- ed over and not included ’in the forty- nine cities on which the reckoning is made. In towns and small cities wood is usually the predominating building material, and it is safe to say that if all places of whatever size, the percent- age of wooded construction would haye been mueh greater. These figures, as a rule, are only for the corporate limits, and the suburbs of these cities have each very large amounts to be added. The cost, also, is relatively higher in the cities than in towns nearer the base of the supply. Piead Guilty of Murder. Shandor Foreas, of Windber, last week plead guilty of murder when his ease was called for trial, at Somerset, Foreas struck Andy Bundy, also of i Windber, with a clab, some months ago, inflicting an injury from which Bundy died in a short time. A grudge existed between the two men, it is said, and: Forcasts*said to- have walked up to. Bundy and struck. him without thse. slightest warning. If all reports are true, the tragedy. which eonstitutes murder in the First degree. The Court has fixed upon Jan, 19th, 1909, as the day for the testimony to be heard and the degree of murder to be decided upon. Good Advice from the Sage of the Savages.
