It may surprise some people to know that there are between 2,000,000 and 3,000.000 acres of what is known as forest land in Indiana and that there are very few varieties of hard woods that are not found In these. Neither are the woods pastures included in the estimate of forest acreage. These forests are still included in the resources of Indiana and are an important consideration in connection with manufacturing promotions in the state.

WORTHY OF HIGH RANK CHEF NOT USUALLY ACCORDED HIS PROPER POSITION. When One Comee to Think of It, the Preparation of Food Plays a Tremendous Part In the Work of the World. ' Hail to the chef who fn triumph advances!” Why not chef, Instead of chief? Nobody ever gives enough credit to the cook. We all enjoy a good dinner, but after It is eaten, and the dishes cleared away, how seldom we think what lias been the effect on humanity of the kind of meals that have been eaten three times a day (sometimes less, rarely more) for centuries! Cooking is one of the principal forces in civilization, and it has played a tremendous part in bring ing mankind to the high plane it now holds. The principal reason for cooking our food is to destroy disease germs. For many ages no one knew what caused illness, but now nearly all maladies are traceable to these tiny germs, many of which are found in food, and can be destroyed only by the heat of cooking. Man, owing to the very complicated machinery of his body, falls a prey to disease more Easily than the animals. Consequently food which an animal can take without harm may kill a man. Cooking destroys a large proportion of the parasites, microbes and bacteria in food, thus giving man a chance to digest a diet that otherwise would kill him. Frequently one forgets that cooking is primarily not intended to make food more pleasant to the taste, but to make it easier to digest. But when a dish is toothsome it makes the mouth water, or, in other words, it causes a great deal of saliva to flow, with the result that the saliva and food go down into the stomach together, and the food is more easily made available for digestion. If, however, the cook is anxious to tickle the taste of the man who is to eat her food and thinks more of satisfying the palate of an epicure than of the digestibility of the meal, she is only storing up trouble for the eater.

In order to achieve the best results in the destruction of bacteria, and in the increasing of digestibility, meat and other foods should be subjected first to intense heat, so as to form a retaining skin, as is done in roasting or broiling. Then the heat should be reduced and kept on for a long term, during which the juices gradually soften the muscular fibers. This acts as a deathblow to the millions of bacteria which would otherwise have found a place in the stomach of the man or the woman who was to eat it. From this point of view, therefore, the cook is one of the most important factors in the upward progress of the race from brute to man. Cooks have been as much a benefactor to the race as a whole as they have been a boon to the hungry. It is the cook who has borne the banner of progress through all the ages. Perborate Powder Prevents Infection. The very latest treatment for wounds, cuts or broken blisters, in which there is contamination or suspected contamination from the soil, is to powder them with sodium perborate. This salt, when mixed with blood or pus, liberates large quantities of free oxygen and keeps this up for about twenty-four hours, according to Dr. A. G. R. Foulerton, who contributes to the London Lancet an exhaustive study of the effects of the perborate. The bacilli that cause tetanus and those that produce gaseous gangrene are killed-and prevented from sporing by the oxygen. Doctor Foulerton says that washing out thoroughly with peroxide of hydrogen is the method to use when this treatment can be applied quickly, but it is not always possible to do this, ’while soldiers can carry in their tlrst-aid package a small parcel of the perborate and can sprinkle it on their wounds themselves. Naturally Colored Photos. How can I make photographic prints in the true colors of the original subject? This question has been asked by every inventor In the photographic field for many, many years. And it remained unanswered until recently, when Frederic Eugene Ives, the American inventor of tho half-tone process of printing and sthe three-color halftone process, took 1 out patents on this new photographic method. The taking of photographs in colors, as invented by Mr. Ives, is said to be so simple that any intelligent amateur can master it. Mr. Ives has also Invented many devices in the field of applied optics. Leaves From a Book of Dreams. I had rather be deaf than know that your voice <Hd not soften, sweet as the drone of bees, when you mentioned my name. I had rather the width of the world lay between us than that our hands could touch without being thrilled by each other. ' I had rather be dead, and He alone in the darkness, than know, if I lived, that your love were given to another. —John Hanlon in the Smart get. y

THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS Keep Your Promises and Be Up to the Minute, Is Advice Worth Heeding. Young men all people, in sact —who are to be counseled like to have the advice re enforced by anecdote, or by a page of autobiography disclosing personal experience, provided the story Is not told just because of personal conceit. If men who have worked hard and at last reached tho place thoy sought were polled on the question of their success, moat ot them would not ascribe it to any very elaborate, intricate program They would attribute it probably to one or two simple habits which anybody whose brain is alive may discover and acquire. One of these habits is, no doubt, that of being not merely up to the minute, but on the minute. He who is prompt may be forgiven a few cins of several kinds unrelated to the passage of the seasons and the precession equinoxes. Did you ever go to a place taking It on faith that others would be on time, and then stand watting with surreptitious dives into the watch pocket while the others took their own time, and yonrs too, assembling? Rudest and most offensive of all ts the conduct of the public entertainer, woman or man, who does not hesitate to keep an audience waiting twenty minutes or half an hour. At the latter rate, a thousand people means 500 hours, or nearly twenty-one days. What right has anybody to be a thief of time to that extent? If it is sociable and fashionable to keep all those people sitting and palavering in expectancy, then it Is time a n?w Catonian censorship of polite conduct were established Many a young fellow has ruined bis business chances by frequently promising to be "on deck” on the dot, and then failing to live up to his pledge. The reason does net particularly matter. The fact remains, he wasn’t there, and whatever the woe and the dust he raises afterward, it is unavailing. In this world of grim, unmitigated fact, you are or you aren’t, yon do or you don't. The coroner and the undertaker are overworked unless the dead past is allowed to bury Its dead. Business has no time for nost-mortems. Tomorrow camps there on the rim of the hills in the flush of the morning, and yesterday is older than the hills themselves. Tears and Smiles Some gills have such little April faces and dispositions! One can almost see the reflection Os every passing mood in their pretty eyes Perhaps the day has begun well with sunshine, and everything pleasant and happy. Thon Miss Sunshine Gits from room to room, doing her tasks with a gay heart and a smile like a golden ray of brightness.

But alas! the blue sky suddenly becomes overcast. “He" has not written, as he so faithfully promised, or the new frock has not come, and so there will be no eagerly antiulpa'.ed evening of amusement and delight. Away goes the sunlight from the blue eyes, and down comes the pathetic little shower of tears of disappointment and unhappiness Miss Sunshine no longer lives up to hor pretty name; she feels that she cannot do so. But she must take heart, for«the world cannot do without her, any more than it cun do without thq Howers and the other lovely things >f nature. After tho tears there must be smiles, as after the rain the sunshine. For that is the way with a little maid, and for it she is loved and welcomed. —Exchange. Waterproofing for French Uniforms. Lanolin, the fat extracted from wool in the process of cleaning it for manufacture, is being used by the French authorities for waterproofing the clothing of their soldiers in the field. The wool fat Is reduced to a liquid by the use of a suitable solvent, such as chloreform or carbon bisulphide, and then diluted with a volatile hydrocarbon, like benzine, naphtha, or gasoline. Garments soaked for a short time in this liquid dry quickly when hung in the open, leaving the fibers impregnated with lanolin and almost perfectly nonabsorbent of water. Neither the color nor the fabric Is impaired by the treatment. —Popular Mechanics. Centenary of “Lalla Rookh." “Lalla Rookh,” which figures in the bill of entertainment at the Shaftesbury theater in London in aid jf the wounded Indians' fund, has just attained its centenary, for it was in 1816 that Tom Moore set himself to produce his Oriental romance. The poem, says the Pall Mall Gazette, was the subject of one of the ■most curious agreements ever made between poet and publisher, Longman undertaking to pay Moore three thousand guineas for an eastern poem and to take it for better or worse, at any time that suited the author’s convenience, and without any power to suggest changes or alterations. Sandals Worn by Mexicans. Wooden sandals are now being worn to a great extent by the laboring classes in Mexican cities and by natives engaged in farming, in place of the old form of leather sandals used by the Mexicans for many centuries. They are befag substituted for tho primitive homemade leather sandals because of the scarcity and high price of native tanned leather, because of the sear<ity of sheepskin thong* for lacing and because the native Indian is becoming more particular about the appearance of bis feet
