A beef heart cooked the same way is splendid. Waste In Lumbering Southern Appala chian Forests. The forests of the Southern Appala chian Mountains have been cut so eagerly for the valuable hardwoods they contain that very little virgin tim ber Is left and about 85 per cent of the area Is second growth. I The drain on these forests by many Industries Is Immense. The lumberi men are going over the land for thu third time. First they took only the prime oak and poplar saw timber. Next they took the oaks that were suited for barrel staves. Now they are after whatever merchantable trees are left, such as birch, chestnut and gum. Moreover, these forests have been, and still are, logged very wastefully. Nearly three-quarters of the timber cut for ties Is wasted. Double ,or evoh treble, the number of ties now cut' could readily be secured from the same area without Injury to the for est. By simply taking all the suitable trees, 125 ties could be cut from an acre which now yields only i(), and If all of the wood in the trees were fully utilized, fully 170 adltlonal ties per acre could be secured. With mine timbers the story is the same. Fully 40 per cent of the tim- ber handled In procuring them Is en tirely wasted. Finally, fires are Injuring the pro ductiveness, of the Appalachian forests by running over the ground and kill ing the young growth. Old Lady Are you traveling for the good of your health?

The Commissioner of Health of the City of Chicago has recommended that open trailers be run on the street lines of that city as a means of preventing the spread of pneumonia and other diseases, a fact which leads to the reflection that if people would live more in the open air and less in over heated and ill-ventilated quarters, pneumonia would be much less preva lent than it is during the fall and winter months. To stop that pain in the back, that stiffness of the joints and muscles, take Plnules. They are guaranteed.

Hot Water as a Remedy. Headache almost always yields to the simultaneous application of hot water to the feet and back of the neck. A towel folded, dipped in hot water, wrung out quickly and applied over the stomach acts like magic in cases of colic. 1 A towel folded several times and dipped in hot water, quickly wrung out and applied quickly over the seat of pain will in most cases promptly re lieve toothache and neuralgia.

Raisin bread, which is made like or dinary white bread, with the addition of one-half cupful of raisins to a small loaf, is appetizing for Sunday night supper. White summer shawls, made of soft wool, may be cleaned by rubbing them in several changes of magnesia and flour, mixed. To brown a meringue on a pudding or pie, an ordinary are shovel heated red bot and passed over the surface until the desired color is obtained is as good as a regular salamander. Care is required not to allow it to scorch. Vinegar will brighten copper. Vinegar and brown paper will heal a bruise or "black eye." Vinegar and sugar will make a good stove polish. Blood Poisoning. This may result from the most tri vial wound. A very weak mixture of carbolic acid and water, such as a druggist or physician who deals in drugs can furnish, should be kept on hand to prevent danger. It should be poured on a cloth and wrapped round any such wound after first washing it carefully.
