If
As a result of luvesUgattous re
cently made by C. J. Humphrey,
pathologist in the Department of Ag
riculture, it has been found that dry
rot in "mill constructed" buildings
in Washington and Oregon Is due, in ,
all tho cuses reported, to Ignorance
and gross negligence on the part of
the users of wood as structural ma
terial. It has been found that timber In
telligently used under normal con
ditions will not rot, and furthermore
that dry rot is easily preventable. In
99 per cent of the cases reported, the
cause was insufficient ventilation In
the building or around the timbered
joints. A lack of froh sir and heat
creates a motet mid musty atmos
phere conducive to the growth of
fungi. It is well known that decay
often starts in a dnnip cellar.
Sometimes lumber becomes Infect
ed with dry rot In the yard or shed of
the mill, and is then ignorantly or
negligently sold for building pur
poses. Yard infection is usually
caused by Improper piling of the
lumber. Tire lumber Is not piled so
thut there is a free circulation of air
throughout, or with sufficient slopo
to permit the rain to run off. In the
shed the Infection Is generally caused
by contact with a moist floor.
Mr. Humphrey's study has un
doubtedly revealed the fact thnt dry
rot Is not only preventable but unnecessary.

John Dolan received a letter the
other day from his nephew, Capt.
P. H. Mullay, who is serving his
country in the Philippines. The let
ter is dated at Batangas, P. I., Sept.
7, and is as follows:
Camp McGrath, Batangas, P. I.,
Sept. 7, 1915. My dear Uncle
Many and many u time I have
thought of writing to you, but it
seems to be the hardest job In the
world for me to write to any one.
Yet in the office I write a great deal
every day. I am reglraentaquar
termastcr and post quartermaster
here. We came down here about
tho lBt of March last, and the time
hns just slipped by. I can hardly re
alize that I have been in the Phil
ippines 11 months. One day goes by
like tho other. I get to the office at
7:30 a. m., and am there until 1 p.
m. Then I go to headquarters for
orders and home for lunch. The
paper comes just after lunch and I
read that and study the war. About
3:30 p. m. I go back to the office and
am there until nearly 6 p. m. Then
I play tennis, for we are required to
take so much exercise, nntil about
0:45 p. m. Then we go to someone's
house for a cup of tea . and then
home to bathe and dress for dinner
at 8 p. m. People take things much
easier here and life Is not nearly so
Rtrenuous as In the states. But one
must take things easier and keep out
of the fierce glare of the midday sun
co under.
We have school just now, for this
Is the rainy season. I am In the post
graduate section, which consists of
all the older officers and our work in
writing out solutions of various mili
tary problems. This work I have to
do at night. It looksc aa if the
whole world will have little peace
for years. Everyone, I believe sin
cerely hopes we will not get mixed
