New England self-supporting in
lumber twenty years ago, now has to
import one-third of the amount used.
It has $300,000,000 invested in wood

A Kentucky man “got mad” at a
judge when sentenced to jail, and be
came a candidate for the judgeship.
He defeated the judge, although still
in jail, and the county is wondering
what he will do if the judge ever is
unfortunate enough to be brought
fore him.
WHAT ARE
Do You Step Out with Snap and
Vigor? Are You Able to Get
Things Done?
Don’t Stand in Your Own Way
1
People with Thin, Weak Blood Have
A Hard Time of It. They Should
Take Pepto-Mangan.
Look at the facts of your health.
So much depends on having red
blood. If you stand up in front of
your work with half-starved blood in
your system you are standing in your
own way. You are blocking your own
progress.
Thin blood makes you dull. It
makes you pale. You take no enjoy¬
ment out of your work. It is only
half as good as it should be.
You can remedy that condition so
easily. Begin taking that fine tonic,
Pepto-Mangan, today and keep it up
for awhile. Your blood will become
nourished. Pepto-Mangan makes red
blood corpuscles. You will get energy
and strong power of resistance. In¬
stead of standing in your own way,
you will push yourself ahead because
of greater vitality.
But be sure you get the genuine
Pepto-Mangan. It is put up in both
liquid and tablet form. Ask for
Gude’s” and be sure that the name
is on the package. The tablets or the
liquid have the same medicinal val¬
ue.—Advertisement.
O
Preparations For Christmas.
The house is cluttered up with spools
and ribbon, lace and thread;
There’s it makin’s” piled upon the
floor, the bookcase and the bed;
Mysterious lists are lying ‘round of
of members of the clan.
And “business ft seems better than
sinee ever time began.
Della’s making lanzheray with
flowers, knots and bows,
Granma’s knitting woolen .socks with
double heels and toes;
Clara's making something out of
pink^ satin goods,
Jess is painting pictures of the
brooks and fields and woods;
Auntie’s making handkerchiefs with
colored threads pulled through,
Mother’s got the cook-book out to
see what she must do
To make her dinner better than it’s
been in other years,
And pay the tribute asked of her by
grocer profiteers.
Ralph is reading all the ads to see
where he shall buy
The gift to make his little sweetie
smile and blush and sigh;
Willie’s counting up his pennies on
the kitchen floor,
Wond’ring if there’s coin enough to
give the kid next door
A little doll with eyes that close, and
buggy for it, too,
While Ethel writes to Santa Claus to
bring her something new.
But dad just sits and figures with
the bank-book in his hand—
And though the winter winds are
cold, he sweats to beat the band!
—Charles Frederick Wadsworth, in
The Publishers’ Auxiliary.
