A reinforcement for the world de- mand for lumber is preparing in Brit- ish Bast Africa, where there are be: tween 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 acres of ; woodland to draw upon, and a new in- dustry, very infantile at present, is ex- pected to grow so rapidly that:the gov: ernment Is now considering plans to fmprove the harbor facilities for ex- porting the forests. The best wood is suitable for wheel makers and wagon - builders and the making of wood block paving, raflway sleepers, bridges, ox yokes, and ax, pick and tool handles. It also makes good.flooring and lining boards. The builder, however, must needs be of & patient disposition if He postpones building until these ‘British East African .woods are avallable. Meantime there are new sounds in some of the African forests, gthe rhythm of the w oodsman’ s ax, the buzz of the sawmill, and the pufljng of un- dersized locomotives on the narrow gauge tracks that' are penetrating from the main line of railway into the woodlands. And many a workman, no doubt, will some day work with tools whose handles grew in an African for- est.

What a Prescrlptlon Really Does For You When you are “sick,” that means that nature has been unable to “carry on" as she should.® If nature has sufficient reserves she- will ovéercome any sick- ness. She will work hard to kill off germs, or to overcome a waste of energy.. . This tendency is what gives so-called mind cures and other fakes their working ground, even tho a germ is an actual visual fact \mde_rA the microscope. The prescription which a dactor writes for you is based upen a knowledge of what has happened to nature. The doctor kn_ows from printed ‘Tecords and from personal experience that a grain of this or a dram of that will do certain thmgs te help nature work again. After studying you yourself, he finds that perhaps you may need a little more of this, or less of that, than ordinary. He finds what’s wrong, where help, is needed—and knows whlch dmg wili brmg assxst-‘ ance. ..Then we slmply yfollbw his orden—-exactly. Barker The Dmu'ut : - Measuring Earth’s Circumference.
