A CUKE FOK RHEUMATISM.
Each recurring. attack of rheuma
tism makes tho disease harder to
control, but tho fact that it is not
In itself dangerous causes peoplo to
neglect It, awaiting a change or a
settled condition of tho weather for
relief. It is often only after tho dis
ease has become so serious as to In
terfere with business that tho suf
ferer will seek more than temporary
relief. Chamberlain's Liniment is a
remedy for rheumatism which any
one can apply. It not only gives
prompt relief from pain, but in a
largo majority of cases it brings
about permanent results. Tho first
application will surprise and delight
you as immediate relief is almost
sure to follow. For salo by JOHN

SUPPLY OF COUNTRY LAST?
GOVERNMENT PLANS TO TAKE A
CENSUS OF THE FORESTS AND
OBTAIN ACCURATE FGURES ON
STANDING TIMBER.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Tho
National Conservation Commission
has caused tho first comprehensive
attempt at a census of tho standing
timber in tho United States ovor un
dertaken. The Forest Service has
for years been eager to tako such
consus, and tho Bureau of tho Cbn-
sus has expressed Its willingness to
co-operate, but tho funds have never
beon available. Tho Conservation
Commission, howevor, needs tho in
formation to help completo its In
ventory of the country's natural re
sources, which it will lncludo in its
report to tho Presldont, and since
that report is to bo submitted on the
first of next year, it needs tho in
formation at once. In consequonce
tho work of tho Census has been
started with a rush and Is now under
full headway.
Xt may bo a slight exaggeration to
speak of a consus of timber, for of
course It is impossible to count tho
individual trees in tho forests; oven
tho moset ambitious plans of the
Forest Service and tho Bureau of the
Census did not contmplato that. But
a trained man can with great ac
curacy "cruise" a tract of forest and
estimate tho number of board feet
It contains. Large portions of the
country, Including practically all the
National Forests,' havo been estimat
ed at various times, but these figures
havo never been brought together
and no organized effort has over been
made to gather them into one total,
nor to supply tho deficiencies whore
hitherto no estimates have beon
made.
As a result, tho guesses as to the
amount of standing timber in the
United States, rango all tho way
from 822, G82 million to 2,000 bil
lion board feet a difference ot
more than a trillion foot in tho esti
mates of tho best qualified authori
ties In the country.
In tho bplnlon of tho Forest Ser
vice, tho most carefully propared es
timates ye't made aro thoso by Henry
Gannert, published by tho Twelfth
Census in 1900. These placed the
total stumpago at 1,390 billion board
foot. Mr. Gannett, it so happens, has
beon chosen by the President to com
pllo all the Information gathered for
tho Commission, and with his previ
ous acquaintance with tho subject of
forestry, ho Is at work now enlarging
tho knowledge of forest areas al
present available.
Tho importance of. this consus lies
largely In tho fact that it will glvo an
accurato basis for computing how
long our timber supplies will last.
Through tho co-operation of tho For
est Sorvico and tho Census Bureau
tho country's annual consumption of
wood Is known with tolorablo accur
acy, although even hero there are
somo discrepancies, becauso a large
amount of wood is used for posts,
fuel, and domestic purposes, for
which no satisfactory data has yet
beon collected. But tho consensus of
opinion among thoso equipped to
judge is that tho present annual con
sumption is about 100 billion board
feet, or something moro than that.
One leading authority has placed It as
high as 150 billion feet.
Assuming a stumpago of 1,400 bil
lion feet, an annual uso of 100 bil
lion feet, and neglecting growth in
tho calculation, the exhaustion of our
(timber supply Is indicated in 14
years. Assuming tho same uso and
stand, with an annual growth of 40
billion 'feot, wo havo a supply for 23
years. Assuming an annual uso of
ICO billion feet, the first supposition
becomes In 9 years, and tho second
13 years. Assuming a stand ot 2,000
billion feet; a uso of 100 billion feot,
and neglecting growth, wo havo 20
years' supply. Assuming tho same
conditions, with nn annual growth of
40 billion foot, wo havo 33 years' sup
ply. WlUi an annual uso of 150 bil
lion feot, theso estimates become, re
spectively, 13 and 18 years.
It Is apparent from theso compu
tations why the Natlonnl Conserva
tion Commission consides tho cen
sus of timber so essential to tho
preparation of Its Inventory.
Tho chief dlfforonco betweon the
methods now being omployed by the
Consorvatlon Commission nnd thoso
tho Bureau of tW Consus would uso
aro, that whllo tho Bureau would
nd out enumerators to make per
sonal visits to all parts of tho coun
try, tho Commission is aiming at tho
samo results through a tromondous
amount of correspondence. For In-J
stance, 3,000 lottorB have gone out
to County Clorks, asking for state
ments of forest areas In Jo'cn?
LUMBER
and tlmberland owners have been
asked to supply similar Information.
In all nearly 150,000 letters have
been sent. Theso letters also ask for
a wide variety of Information be
sides tho area and capacity of forests.
They touch upon all phases not only
only of the lumbering and milling In
dustries but of all others which are
oven indirectly dependent upon the
uso of wood. Tho purposo ot the
Commission Is not merely to learn
how much wood Is growing now, but
how long It may bo oxpected to last
and how tho supply may bo prolonged
by economy.
All government Departments and
bureaus which have any information
about forests, a3 well as many largo
corporations, such as land grant rail
roads which hold big forest tracts In
somo states and havo crulsod them
carefully, havo turnod It ovor to Mr.
Gannett.
The Forest Service naturally has
tho largost fund of information, and
it is gathering moro constantly, either
lndopondontly or with tho help of
the Consus Bureau. Tho Depart
ments of War, tho Interior, and Com
merco and Labor can turn over tho
amounts of timber standing on mili
tary, lighthouse, and other reserva
tions. The Bureau of Corporations
of tho Department of Commerce and
Labor has sent out an extensive
schedulo of Inquiries t'o Its spoclal
agents which, it is hoped, will add
to tho present Information concern
ing tho manufacture of wood. All
tho states of tho union aro co-operating
and will furnish statistics con
cerning forest lands.
