u If 1 I i Wasting THE FOREST FIRES Away. MORE DAMAGE RESULTED IN I OREGON THAN SUPPOSED, Lack nf fat in the fnnr! 5s the .... , .. W. T. Cox, Detailed by beginning of a wasting con- ment Estmales the dition. So many people that I close to $3,oou, ooo. , . we meet are thin and keep getting thinner. Perhaps there are some in your own family. Look for the cause ,. and it is more than likely you will find that such people do not eat the fatty portions of their food. They either will not or cannot eat fat, and yet it is the absence of this ele ment in their ordinary food that causes a wasting con dition. For such people we offer Scott's Emulsion as contain ing in the most palatable and easily digested form the element of fat they need. It supplies, and more than sup plies, the lack of fat in ordinary food. A small quantity (a teaspoonful for a child and a tablespoonful for an adult three times a day) will enable the body to get the strength and proper fat supply that it needs. Scott's Emulsion is cod liver oil so prepared that all of it is utilized by the system. Raw cod liver oil is not only repulsive to the taste but only a part of it is taken into the system the weakened organs being unable to digest it all. The emulsion passes almost immediately through the stom ach and into the blood. The stomach is scarcely aware of its presence there. It shows itself first in the nourishment it affords and the new strength that it gives. The weight gradually increases and the flesh becomes firmer. It is the return to health ; the stop ping of the wasting condition. Scott's Emulsion has supplied the elements of fat that the body needed. It is not a question of how much you eat or can eat or even of appetite. It is rather what becomes of the food. Does it contain the proper nourishment and the right proportion of fat ? If the food does you no good it does you harm, for digestion is work, and when the body is in a wasting condition the stom ach must work to some pur pose. Scott's Emulsion saves a great deal of this work, and what is more makes it effec tual. We piace on every package of Scott's Emulsion our trade mark label of a man with a big fish on his back. It is our personal guarantee that the emulsion is right in every respect. If this label is miss ing you are not getting the genuine Scott's Emulsion, which means that you are not getting the full value of the oil or the kind of a prepara tion you need. We'll send you a sample free upon request. SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl St., New York. the Govern. Damage at Press Bulletin No. 2, United States Dopartmont of Agriculture. Bureau of Forestry. The bureau of forestry has received a report from one of Its agents which shows that the damage caused by forest fires In Northwest ern Oregon and Southwestern Wash ington during September, wns much greater than has been generally sup posed. After a careful trip through the regions devastated by the fires, Mr. William T. Cox, who was de tailed by the bureau for this work, in a conservative estimate places the damage In Oregon and Washington at $12,707,100. Of this, $3,910,000 is in Oregon, and $8,857,100 In "Washing ton. This Includes all losses caused by the fires to farm property, saw mills, manufactured lumber, standing timber, etc. This estimate Is based on personal observation in the burn ed districts, both In Oregon and Washington, conference with lumber' mon, farmers and settlers, and other trustworthy sources of information. Owing to Its nearness to market however, much of the damaged tim ber In the burned regions of Oregon will be saved, nnd the net loss will be smaller than the foregoing figures. In Washington a portion will also be saved, though a smaller percentage owing to Its being less accessible to means ol transportation. Much of the area burned over was covered with virgin forest, mainly of Douglas spruce, cedar and hemlock. Besides the great loss of property, 18 persons were killed and many more injured. Much of the large and small game in these regions was destroyed. In his report the agent of the bu reau of forestry included not only the loss of life and property, but also the causes of the fires, the methods used in fighting them, the damage to tho soil and the outlook for redemption of the fqrests. The burned districts were also mapped. The Oregon Fires. The area burned over, while not so great as was at first reported, was, very extensive. Fully 170,000 acres in .Multnomah and Clackamas coun ties are blackened by fires. Of this area about 50,000 acres were either cut-over lands, lands that had been cleared by settlers, or burned over b), previous fires, and hnd little mer chantable timber upon them. As near as coilld be ascertained 8fi families were left homeelss as a re sult of thpse fires. Two hundred other settlers suffered a partial loss of property. The following list of farm proierty destroyed was propar ed by Mr. Cox after personally exam inlng a great deal of the burned conn try and carefully comparing what Is believed to be the more tnis;worthy estimates for portions not visited Farm Property Destroyed.

Total $149,000 Leaving out the 50,000 acres of cut over lands, farm clearings and old burns, the remainder of 120,000 acres contained 17,700 feet, II. M per acre figuring on what has been considered tho average for Western Oregon This Is a very conservative estimate, for some districts along the Clacka- mas would have yielded 8,000.000 to 10.000.000 feet to the quarter section or 50,0000 to 60.000 feet per acre. Computing 120,000 acres at 17,700 feet per acre gives 2,124,01)0,000 feet as the amount of standing timber killed by the recent fire in Multnomah and Clackamas counties. The value of tho standing Dougles spruce, considering It to have had a stumpage valued at $1 per thousand was ;z,i:h,uuu. .Much of this is a total loss, though If promptly lum bered a gTeat deal can still be utillz ed. Wore the district less convenient to transportation, the loss would be much more sovere. As It Is, logging roads will be hastily built into the heavier timbered portions, nnd by rushing operations much of It will he saved.

Upon thousands of acres not a living tree remains to seed the burned areas. In some places enough Douglas spruce remains to bring about reproduction, but cedar and hemlock, being less resistant to fire, were Invariably killed.
