PREVENT FIRES.
Recent investigations show that
more than one third of all forest '
fires can be traced to the careless- j
ness of campers and smokers in the
woods. Another third is due to reck
less land clearing methods. Railroads
come in for their share of respon
sibility with twenty per cent while
miscellaneous sources such as in—
cendiarism, lightning, and so forth
account for the balance. , 1
What a reflection are these figures 
upon those who profess to love the 1
woods and travel every year into the '.
heart of the wilderness to spend their
vacations. For they are the ones 1
v/ho are accountable in no small de- ;
gree for the havoc wrought by fires. !
Much has been written and said
on this subject in recent years, and 1
unquestionably all of this education- 1
al effort has produced results, but
the fact remains that far too many
people are unconscious of the devas
tation their carelessness may cause. (
Far too few stop to realize the mean
ing of a little thoughless deed that
f-ets loose a raging fire.
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
If you hold a penny close to your
•eye it will obscure your entire view
of the universe. Likewise if a busi
ness man sees only the dollar ex
pended for every project, he will lose
his perspective on the ultimate pos- (
sibilities of his business.
This natural human failing—this
inability to see things in their larg
er significance,—stands in the way
not only of individual prosperity but
of general community progress. Men
who are constantly looking only for
immediate profits are incapable of
building either an active and enter
prising business or a progressive,
high spirited community.
One must occasionally spend mon
ey for things that have no immediate
value in order to realize the great
est ultimate value possible.
In this respect Forest City is fortu
nate. The majority of our local busi
ness men are interested in the wel
fare of the town, and are willing to
devote money and effort to every ,
project designed to make ours a
more active and more satisfying com
munity in which to live. We have a
large number of citizens who can and
frequently do say: "Well, this won't
mean much to me or my business di
rectly, but it will unquestionably help
the town and anything that helps the
town helps me indirectly."
We commend this sort of spirit
and hope that it is sufficiently con
tagious to permeate the entire com
munity in the near future.
SUGAR LICKER IS
HARMFUL STUFF
SAYS SANDERS
found a Substitute So Strong
That It Floats An Iron
Wedge, He Says.
This old sugar licker that most
of our heretofore honest and honor
able blockaders are now making is
enough to kill a fellow, it is said by
those who drink it. Used to be that
folks made good licker, in a copper
still, from sour mash, and a fellow
could drink it without sitting around
foi a while to see whether or not he
was going blind or become a victim
of Jake paralysis. But since licker
makers use the sheet iron stills and
use sugar instead of meal, and rush
the stuff through without any regard
for its quality, we have taken it up
on ourselves to find some remedy
for the situation.
I Our solution is that of drinking
COFFEE instead of licker. It is
better for you, providing it is good
coffee, and not merely colored water.
Of course, it takes water to make
COFFEE, but when it is all over, it
ought to be COFFEE and not hot
water. In other words, the water
used ought to be made into COFFEE, j
Any woman who has poor coffee to
set before her tired husband is
right, there and then courting the
I divorce courts. When one makes
COFFEE, they ought to make COF
FEE, and when they—have water,
it ought to be water.
So in our usual manner and
method of doing business yte went
on the search for COFFEE, a coffee
what is coffee, and that doesn't cost
a fortune to buy. We found it. We
told the folks who roast and distrib
ute this coffee that we know more
coffee drinkers than anybody else in
the county, and if they would sell us
exclusively in this county, and at ;i
price that we could afford to push
iu that their coffee would soon be in
every cupboard in the county.
Well, as usual, again, we talked a
right smart and a right big thing, in
our boastful, bragging manner. The
.coffee people took us up, and began
j shipping this COFFEE which we are
I selling at 35 cents a pound. Now,
! you just think of it—a real COFFEE
ht 35 cents a pound is something
tHt ought to interest every coffee
lover in the county. Most of the
people have been buying this cof
fee and when they buy it once, they
come back for more and more of it. J
One man in Forest City said that
he took some of this Sanders Coffee
; home, and his wife put the usual
amount that she had been using in
the old coffee pot, and when it was
done, he said it was so strong that
he laid an iron wedge in the pot, and
it floated on top of the coffee. After
that, the woman did not use so much
coffee in the pot, Jbut, Great Gosh,
how good it was!
Suppose you try a pound of this
coffee —just 35c or 3 lbs. for SI.OO.

S" lOUP holds, and deserves,
the honor of opening the

sands of American homes.
Than a perfect soup there
is no rjore delicious dish. Than a
poor soup—watery and tasteless —
there is no more ruinous prelude
to what otherwise might have
'proved a thoroughly SDUI and ap
petite-satisfying repast.
To avoid the disaster of a really
poor soup is not difficult. Fairly
good results
— are easy to at-
Pjffj f-v , tain. But to
Prepare the

That is indeed

offers as its reward the heartfelt
appreciation of all the Miners at

Potage a ia Creme d'Epinards—
