Washington, April 7. The
Forest Service has just begun to
advertise the twelfth large lots of
National Forest timber offered for
sale within the past nine months.
Altogether it has advertised since
July 1, 1912, the beginning of the
present fiscal year, about 2,500,
000,000 feet, and has closed con
tracts for the sale of 1,700,000,000
feet. The latest advertised sale is
of approximately 52,000,000 feet
of saw timber i n the Rainier
National Forest, about 35 miles
from Tacoma.
In offering National Forest
timber for sale the Government
first makes an estimate of the
quantity of timber on an area
which would naturally form a
single logging unit, and which
offers attractive opportunities for

the lumberman. The probablle cost
of logging and manufacturing by
a capable lumberman is then esti
mated. On the basis of these esti
mates combined with the figures
for market values and freight
charges the timber is appraised
and then advertised for sale, with
the appraised value as a minimum
price.
The minimum prices set for the
Rainier timber vary from 50 cents
to gl. 50 per thousand feet, accord
ing to the kind of timber. These
are stumpage prices that is, the
purchaser buys the trees on the
stump and does all the logging,
but pays according to the board
foot measure of the logs. The
Government aims to allow 'the
manufacturer a liberal profit on
the basis that lumbering involves a
good deal of business risk, and the
minimum stumpage prices are fix
ed accordingly. Often, however,
competitive bids raise the price
above the advertised minimum.

To cuit
One of the provisions o f the
contract which the successful bid
der for the Rainier timber will en
ter into will be that if market
prices advance materially the
Government's Chief Forester may,
after the sale has run three years,
require a reasonable readjustment
of the stumpage prices up to an
added 50 cents per thousand. The
object of this stipulation is to pre
vent loss to the Government that
is, to the public and an undue
profit t o the purchaser through
long-term contracts entered into
on a rising market. Provision
against such speculative profits is
regarded as especially necessary
in view of the long-term sales now
sometimes made to get purchasers
for large bodies of inaccessible
timber.
From the Rainier sale the cut
ting period allowed is only five
years, since the quantity of timber
involved approximately 52,000,

National Forest sale made this
year was for 800,000,000 board
feet and the purchasers were allow
ed a cutting period of twenty-two
years besides a preliminary two
years in which to build a rail
road. Usually purchasers must be
gin operating the year of purchase
and cut a stipulated amount each
year.
The latter provision is simply an
example of a fundamental prin
cipal that is applied in all National
Forest timber sales. The primary
object is described as being not
profit for the Government but be
nefit to the public. Nowhere is the
policy a strictly commerical one.
The corditious of cutting are care
fully prescribed from the stand
point of present as well as future
needs. The highest bid for the
contract may be rejected, and is
rejected if it appears that to give
the bidder the contract would
tend to facilitate timber monopoly
and so subject the consumer to a
hardship. In other words, the
Government foresters consider that
they should not only make the
forests grow as fast as possible but
also make them as useful as pos
sible to the, public.
If a paper entitled "Some
Theories on Seasickness," read by
Dr. E. S. Goodhue at the annual
meeting of the Medical Society of
Hawaii and, made public recently,
is correct, formaldehyde and other
strong microbe-killing disinfect
ants will repluce epsom salts in
the treatment for seasickness
In his learned treatise Dr. Good
hue claims to have discovered that
seasickness is due to a microbe
which he has discovered and nam
ed the ' bacillus aquatahs maris."
This germ, he says, floats in mil
lions upon the surface of the sea,
scarcely leaving it when the water
is quiet, but when a storm arises
they are carried about and scatter
ed by the waves and wind and so in
vade the decks of ships, the dining
saloon and the staterooms so that
the passengers are soon affected.
Dr. Goodhue displays the fact
that he possesses a rare vein of
humor in writing on this form of
disease and he has taken pains to
ascertain through interviews with
Mrs. Noah, Samuel Johnson, Lord
Sandwich, Cleopatra, S h e r 1 o c-k
Holmes and William Shakespeare,
that even spirits who are without
stomach and brains have become
seasick when voyaging in phantom
ships between island in the Terri
tory of Hawaii.
Dr. Goodhue states that he is
working on an antidote for sea
sickness which he intends to chris
ten "Anti Mikahala."
In writing of his discovery of
the seasickness germ, Dr. Good
hue, says:
For the past ten years I have
been making extensive and most
searching macroscopic and micros
copic investigations and I have
been rewarded by the discovery of
the germ that gives the world so
much pilikia. I have named it
bacillus acquatilis. maris, a s i t
thrives in the sea and is one of the
bacterial family. Str nge as it may
seem, it makes its home on the
surface of bodies of salt water,
especially large bodies. When the
sea is quiet, these germs float in
millions upon its surface, scarcely
leaving it; bnt if a storm arise,
they are carried and scattered
about in the waves, spray and mist
by the wind. The decks arc often
splashed with foam, from which I
have taken drops swarming with
bacili. At this time, I found the
germ in specimens taken from our
stateroom, table service, luggage
and from the air which passed over
the ship. In fact, as would be ex
pected, everything on board was
saturated wi th germ carrying
material, and with germs as well
I found the bacilli even inside oi
an empty gin bottle I happened to
have in my valise. The bottle was
corked, too, but evidently had
sometime been opened during the
voyage. This germ contains a large
per cent of phosphorus in its make
up, and what was considered due
to phosphorus alone, viz: the
phosphorescent glow o n certain
waters seen beautif ullv after night
in tropical seas, is due to the move
ment ot billions of these babilli.

I have somewhere seen it ob
served, that we should make the
same use of a book that the bee
does of a flower; she steals sweets
from it, but does not injure it.
In many city schools physical
culture is a part of the regular
curriculum, but too often it l s
neglected in the country schools
Indeed, where one teacher is doing
her best to teach all the grades,
from the primer to t h e eighth
grade, it is hard to find time for
anything but the required studies.
But poise, or one's bearing, has
so much to do with one's success
in life; while developing the mentul
poise by no means should the
physical poise be neglected. How
often we sse boys and girls from
little tots on up slumping around,
never standing entirely erect,
throwing themselves out of shape
in order to find a muscle a little
stronger than others to support
them. This is all habit and a very
serious one, too. What is the re
sult? Crooked, bent, unbalanced
forms, muscles and nerves out of
place, unable to perform their
functions properly, consequently a
weakened body. Our muscles
must support us a n d carry us
around, then why not use the pro
per muscles to keep us upright and
perfectly balanced? They arc just
as easily trained to do their work
as the set that holds us up in a
crooked attitude.
Country children usually get
more exercise than their city
brethren, often getting too much
of certain kinds, making them all
the more apt to slouch in order to
rest over-wearied muscles.
First of all, teach them to stand
well. What is more beautiful than
a well-formed body, nicely poised
and balanced, moving along with
grace and freedom? Have them
stand by their desks, back straight
chin up and in line with toes, chest
raised. T h e y should feel the
muscles all along the body almost
lifting them to their toes. Then
balance lightly o n toes, Those
who clutch at the desks or move
their feet to regain their equili
brium are not balanced properly.
Their muscles are stiff and not un
der control.
This is the main exercise for
correct standing, so practise per
sistently until pupils are able to
poise on toes naturally and easily.
While so poised, have them swing
arms to show thev are perfectly
limber, then still balancing on toes
sway from side to side and back
wards and forward to see if mus
cles are under control.
Another a n d more difficult
exercise is to balance on toes, step
forward on right foot, throwing
hands above the head stretched
arms at the same time transferring
entire weight to right foot, lifting
left foot slightly from the floor.
Hold a moment, step back to posi
tion and repeat with left foot.
This exercise may be modified
by having pupils clasp hands light
ly behind back and walk on tip toe
taking as many steps as convenient.
No doubt the teacher can add
many exercises to these. Teach
them the importance of a correct
carriage. It will give them self
possession and the ability to appear
well in any company an asset not
valuable in a social way, but one
that is strong advantage financial
ly. Reading maketh a full man, con
ference a ready man, and writing
an exact man.
Books are faithful repositories,
which may be awhile neglected or
forgotten but when they are opened
again, will again impart their in

A good book is the precious life
blood of a master spirit, embalmed
and treasured upon purpose to a
life beyond life.
Better than men and women, friend
That are dust, though dear in

Through these they speak to us

mind;
All their royal souls possessed
Belongs forever to all mankind!
