The economic aspects of the world

The most intense heat produced by

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS CURED
WHEN DOCTOR'S FAILED.
Mr. M: A. Morrison Suffered From
Kidney Disease for Five Years—
Dodd's Kidney Pills Cured Hint.
Tarbot, Victoria Co., C.B., June
12th (Special.) — Cured of Kidney
trouble of five years' standing and of
which three doctors failed to cure
liim, Mr. M. A. Morrison, a well
known resident of this place has no
hesitation in stating that he owes his
health to Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"I was so weak I could not walk
a quarter of a mile'and to -day I am
able to attend to my work as well as
I was twenty years ago," Mr. Morri-
son says. "For five years I suffered
from Kidney Disease. I was treat-
ed by three skilful doctors but got no
benefit.
"Then a friend advised me to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I went to the
druggist and got five boxes. Before
I had used four boxes I was com-
pletely cured.
.. "I advise anyone suffering from kid-
ney disease to use Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Anyone who wants to ... know more.
aboub my cure has only •to. write' to
me and I will tell them all about it."
Dodd's Kidney Pills are no experi-
ment. They have been curing kidney
di;,ease in all parts of Canada for a
quarter of a century. Ask your
neighbors about them.
FOREST PROTECTION.
How Enormbous Areas of Timber May
Be Saved From Destruction.
Twenty-two of the leading Boards
of Trade of Ontario have made repre-
sentations to the Ontario Government
for a reorganization of its forest. pro-
tection system.
The Boards have specified two re-
forms: the reorganizationof the
rangers so as to provide for super-
vision and inspection, both in the head
office and the field; secondly, that the
government should make some effort
to keep down the thither damage re-
sulting from settlers' clearing fires.
For the latter purpose, it has been
suggested that a system of "permits"
issued by fire rangers to settlers in-
tending to burn slash in the neighbor-
hood of forests, should be tried out
in a few localities, so as to determine
the best procedure. The permit system
has been successfully operated in Que-
bec and British Columbia for several
years. It 'has not antagonized the
settler, while saving enormous areas
of timber.
The widespread demand for a gen-
eral reconstruction of Ontario's forest.
protection plan is finding sympathetic
consideration by the Minister of Lands.
and Forests, who during the past year
has been exceedingly busy with other
special duties. The present forest
guarding system of the province has
been retained for a, great many gears
practically- without. alteration. It is
complained that the rangers, while
numerically sufficient, are left to
their own devices and, as with a body
of artisans in a factory, cannot and
do not perform their. fair duty in the
absence of strict discipline and a guar-
antee of permanent employment.. For-
est ranging, according to modern prac-
tice, requires skilled men and skilled.
'FOOD overseers, or the expenditure of pub-
lic money is considerably wasted. The
proposals of such bodies as the Com-
mission of Conservation, the Canadian
Forestry Association and their: stip-
porters, is that the forest guarding
system of Ontario be placed under a
special qualified officer of the depart-
ment, who will have authority to re-
build the present service.
The second proposition, as outlined
by the Boards of Trade, is' that the
ruin to valuable timber tracts caused
by settlers' fires should be put. under
some form of control. British Colum-
bia and Quebec now prohibit a settler
in a forested distritc from setting out
a clearing"fire until •eine ha's consulted
a forest ranger. The ranger is'nearly
alwa;•s• close at hand and advises the

the district are kept alive. Ontario
now has no means of preventing
wholesale destruction of precious pine
and spruce and hardwoods from set-
tlers', fires and the losses to the pro -
evince annually are great.
Timber • destruction in all parts of
Canada is going on at a rate which,
if unchecked, must lead over 5,000
wood -using industries; into serious dif-
'aculties. Ontarioalone has 2,000
wood -using industries and 82 per cent.
of their wood requirements are ob-
tained within the province. These in.
dustries, 'distributed in nearly every
town and city, are 'no more secure
than their foundation of forest ma-
terials. It is just as imperative that
the ' living trees, which are intended to
uphold. Ontario's industries and pay
sheets should be insured by govern-
ments .Against the plague of fire as
that buildings and plant should be in-

When it is considered that the limit
holders mutual associations in Quebec
Province have , built up efficient sys-
tems of forest protection at a cost of
about one-third of a • cent. per cre
for fire protection, an efficient system
in Ontario would involve little, if any,
additional cost. A third of a cent an
acre for'protection makes a very min-
ute showing beside -a magnificent pine
forest reduced to charcoal for lack of
decent .care. It has been estimated
that forest fires in Canada, mostly
preventible, destroymore wealth than
would pay the annual interest on the
last Dominion loan of 100 million dol-
lars.
A RIVER OF HORROR.
No White Man, Exploring its Riches,
Ever Has Returned.
There is a river of mystery and
horror in Peru, and the legends of
rich rubber regions and untold wealth
in gold are accompanied by tales of
those who went up it never to return,
Casimer Watkins, ' a naturalist, re -
recently returned from South Amer-
ica, tells of the stream.
"This river," he said, "is the Colo-
rado River, the richest river in Peru,
Great groves of rubber trees lie along
its course, and gold has been found
in it. But the Mascos, a tribe of
cannibals, infest it. They still prac-
tise cannibalism and will kill a man
on sight. Expeditions have been fit-
ted out and been heavily armed to
go exploring for rubber and gold, but
none of them ever has returned: The
savages have killed ` the men and
eaten them and turned the canoes a-
drift. They have roan down the
river empty, bottoms up, or filled with
supplies which the savages did not
care to remove."
A PATHETIC INCIDENT.
Npt long ago a gentleman who had
been living fairly well and was
thought well of, suddenly died. As
was natural, one of the first things
after his death, was the straightening
up of his estate, and when matters
were looked over and an inventory
taken of what he was supposed to be
possessed of, it was found that ib
would take almost every available
cent to pay the outstanding obliga-
tions. which he had contracted, with a
result that his family would be turned
out upon the street.
It was heartrending to see them en-
deavoring to retain some articles of
furniture most dear to :them. It look-
ed as though the house which they
had been accustomed to live in would
have to go, bub in packing up and
rummaging through some of the fur-
niture what was their relief when they
came across a policy for $5,000.00
which the• late husband had been
carrying unknown to his family in the
Crown. Life Insurance Company of
Toronto.
Notice of the death was sent the
Company and a cheque was promptly
issued.
The mortgage was paid off, the fur-
niture was safe and there was a con-
siderable amount left over fon: present
needs.
This is an object lesson which should
appeal to every one of us and one and
all can make the same provision for
the family by insuring in the Crown
Life.
Yet They Were Useful.
The office boy had been detectql
in a lie. It was not one of the ordin-
ary prevarications of the everyday
world and moreover, to make the
crime more grievous, he had :persisted
in adhering to his orginal mendacious
statement. "Do you know, my lad,"
asked an elderly clerk, "what becomes
of young lads who trifle with the
truth?" '"Yes," was the assured re-
ply, "the boss often sends them out
as travellers when they grow up."

An Astonishing Temperature.
A private soldier had had pneu-
monia, and had been for some time
in a hospital where he had been so
well treated that he was by no means
ready to be discharged as "cured."
One day the doctor was taking his
temperature, and while Tommy had
the thermometer in his mouth the doc-
tor moved on to the next bed and turn-
ed his back to the first patient.
Tommy saw his chance. He pulled
the thermometer out of his mouth and
popped it into a cup of hob tea, re-
placing it, however, the moment he
saw the doctor begin to turn back to
his bed. When the physician exam-
ined the thermometer he looked first
at Tommy and then back to the ther-
mometer and gasped:
"Well, my man, you're not dead,
but you ought to be!"
No Connection.

Mary's Needlework Guild wish to dis-
claim any connection with a chain -
letter which is being circulated in the
name of the Guild by the New York

way touches the Canadian Branch, the
ladies here regret that such a method
of obtaining money for the Queen's
Guild has been resorted to, and that it
has gob into this country, as the
chain -letter system has long since
