Wide publicity is being given to Secretary Wilson's statement regard ing the long foretold lumber famine. v 'ihia famine is no longer an object of merely future dread; it ia here. In Boston, says the Transcript, builders say it now costs 30 per cent more to build a frame house than it did six or seven years ago. Like conditions doubtless prevail in other cities. A man in Washington bought . a suburban lot and Dusied himself with plans for the house, allowing for " an outlay within his means. As months passed, however, timber prices rose and continued rising, thus ' necessitating the drawing and redraw ing of these plans on a constantly diminishing scale, that they might be kept within the limit of expense orig inally fixed. Famine, of course, is a relative " rather than an absolute thing. Food famines occur and recur in India. Their existence does not imply the to tal absence of food from a country, but only its scarcity. In the worst famine' some favored ones are as un conscious of existing conditions as was Marie Antoinette when she in quired why the people who could not get bread did not, instead, eat cake, Some go on short rations, some con trive for a" time to keep body and soul together, while multitudes per ish outright. With the timber famine, ' the case Is already similar. Men of ample means can buy what they want. Inconvenience, however, is already felt; and, as wood becomes scarcer, more and more people will feel the pinch; more and more businesses witt be hampered and, in greater or ltfss degree, an effect similar to that ac companying a crop failure or a moiiey panic will be felt. Passed Examination Successfully. James Donahue, New British, Conn., writes: "I tried several kidney rem edies, and was treated by our best physician for diabetes, but did not lm prove until I took Foley's Kidney Cure ftAer the second bottle I showed Im provement and five bottles cured me completely. I have since passed a rigid examination for life insurance." Foley's Kidney Cure cures back-ache and all forms of kidney and bladder trouble. For sale by The Ireland Pharmacy.

Torrance county is in need of additional teach ers to supply its vacant schools. The dearth of suitable teachers has caus ed much regret to the territorial and county superintendents of schools.

Adams, the general merchant, Is selling out his stock of dry goods and shoes preparatory to enlarging his store and, going Into the grocery business only. He will have an up-to-date grocery establishment when his improvements are completed. A good many Estancia valley farm ers are taking advantage of the winter months to erect houses and to do other ranch improvements. R. C. Wagner north of town is among the many who are constructing substan tial, homes.
