"It It hlsh time."' iiaya M. O.

Compare, for Instance, thn smooth resilience of Fifth' Avenue, Now York (paved with sheet asphalt, with tho rough, gritty and flinty sur faces, Tho saving In tiro costs alone would pay tha difference In construc tion costs In many Instances." According to J. K. l'ann hacker, former chlot uconomlst for tho Unit ed States bureau of public roadi, de termination or JUNtlflanlo outlay for tho proposed Improvement' of ro.ids and strnots from anticipated service should call for at least a careful a survey and ostlmato as tho engineer now provides for thn construction work llseir, "It Is suggested that for tho potonllnl local traffic," says Mr 1'cnnybackor, "u xono bo blotted to Includo tho torrltory which might logically bo served by tho highway after Improvement.

LOST GERMANY WASHIN'OTON, Aug. 13 He- cnusc of tbo war, Germany lost about 21,547,520 acres of land e,x cluslro'uf plebiscites. This was un doubtedly u serioas national 'mlifor- lunn to Germ any. Tho United States, during tho period 1916-1920, 'Inclu sive, burned up 66, 4 88,307 acres of our forested area over 2V4 times as much as Germany's entlro loss an area eroatcr than New York, and Pennsylvania combined, or of. Min nesota, Kansas, Idaho, or Utah. Whllo It is Imposslblo to trite tbo origin ot all forest fires, tha Mcordi of the forest scrvlcb of 'tWwnlted Htates department 'Of. ..agrlfjitture show that a large number originate through tho carelessness of nappy go-lucky tourists. Tho forest ser vice Is anxious to encourage ttto uso ot tho national forests as recreation grounds. It cooperates with plans for building flno roads through tho forests, and establishes numerous freo camping grounds, 'where bolt-. or, water, and firewood may be ob tained. Many of these caranr are located, on main automobile .high ways and aro easily reached. Home statos provide tourist guide maps to' tho forests and camp sites. About C, 000, 000 pooplo, it is estimated, uno tho forests each year during the va cation season. At Eaglo Camp ground on tho Columbia river high way in thn Oregon national forest, 132,000 tourists registered last year Some of tho camper, bowoycr, do not scorn to appreciate tho pleas ures and privileges afforded to tho touring public. Thoy dlcflguro the scone ry with rubbish and filth, they disregard gnmo laws and polluto straams. but their worst and most froquontly recurring offense, accord ing to forest officers, is tho starting of destructive forest fires by car- leasoeu either with camp fires or with smoking. A lighted cigarette thrown Into dry -leave or needles, may start a tiro that will spread for. miles. A ramp flro not tull extinguished may be the means of destroying valuable timber which has taken hundreds ot years to reach maturity. The re ports o' forest rangers aro filled with dramatic accounts ot tho work In volved In controlling such tires, and also; In detecting and bringing the culprits before a Judge aftor follow ing tha mty slight clues obtainable in ii deserted camp site. Somotimcs an old bottle or a pocket handker chief will reveal tho original pos sessor who did not put out his flro. Somotimcs a particular make of automobllo tiro can bo traced for miles and tho caroloss camper has been brought to justice. No finos, howevor, on the part ot the local magistrate, will restoro tbo burned area. Whllo tho forest rangers aro vigilant and alert to catch carclcsjuess and prevent in cipient fires, tho real need, tho fort esters guy, h for the development of moro conscience on the part ot tho puhllc which uses the National Forests. , It is greatly desired by the Forest Sorvlco that all the 147 National Forests, from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Oulf to Border, be 'used and enjoyed,' to tho fullest extent by as many people as possible. This involves- universal adoption of tho slogan, "De sure your fire Is out!" , C. of C.

Wh'en It fades,' turns gray,, and looks streak' ed, Just a few applications ot Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances lta ap pcaranco a hundredfold. Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare tho recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottln ot "Wyeth's Sago and Sulphur' Com' pound," which Is merely the old time rcclpo Impro ed by the addi tion ot other Ingredients. Thou sands of folks recommend this ready-to-uso preparation, becauso It dark ens tho batr beautifully; besides, no one can possibly tell, as It darkdns so naturally and evenly. You moisten a spoogoor soft brush with It, draw ing this through the balr, taking one small strand at .a time. I)y morning the gray hair disappears; after an other application or two its natural color Is restored, and It becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger.
