Britain Needs Timber. The demand for timber In Groat Britain Is so great, owing to tbe war, that the export of this matnrial from Newfoundland, which has been prac lically abandoned of late years. Is now being revived. Until about ten year* ago there was a substantial an nual export of deal and sawn lumber, but about that time the possibilities of the Island for pulp and iaper-mak-!ng were emphasized to such an ex tent that large enterprise* along these lines were established In Newfoundland, with the result that a large quantity of tags that had previously been exported In the form ot lumber are now utilized and manufactured Into pulp and paper on the spot. Now. however, the war lias brought about new condition*, and the Increased price for lumber has stimulated a revival of the exporting trade, the vari oua concert:* throughout the Island which hitherto have been operating entirely for tbe local trade, having decided Ibis summer to go Into the export butlnraa on an extended scale, as th<> romi>en*ation.

American Bluejackets Best Fed of All Fig O UR bluejackets are tbe best-fed fighting men In the world, and If d has any leanings toward enlistment In the nation's defense, be will a no mistake by casting hie lot with the men sfioat. He ms; have a b for terra firms, but It must not be forgotten that the army Is outdistanced by the navy when It comes to the matter of dietary. The dally Issue of food ZxR either to the soldier or the sailor, out of which three meals are made, is officially called a ration. This allowance for the army costa Uncle Sam be- , tween 34 and 25 esnu, but last year . the average cost of subsisting one man for one day In tb* navy was 90.866. Jacky being the higher liver by the purchasing power of nearly 12 cents more than his soldier fellow in the national defense. It Is ac stating the case to say that the major part of the fleet's efflden.'y I contentment of the men is due, either directly or indirectly, to the gi and varied provender which Is now given them whether the ship be In port I or plowing her way thrqpgh stormy seas. There was a time, not long ago, I I an tinned foods were extensively served on board our naval craft, but the I m is using less and leu ol these all tbe while. Upon this point Admiral McGowan, chief of the bureau of supplies:* accounts, has recently said: “There are certain things that It is f necessary to usa as a part of a ration. For Instance, there Is r«neJ beef, which la so well understood and so well liked In the navy t>*t t, to a certain moderate extent Is not only welcome, but most welroasM men—they like 1L Then canned tomatoes and a few other staples; « fruits and some vegetables canned are very serviceable and are s ' along.
