WASHIINOTON, D. C.—Coun
wide interest is being roused by the
recurrent reports that Secretary of
Agriculture Houston is the moving
spirit behind the agitation for the
transfer of all- national parks from
the interior department to the agri-ul
tv.ral -department. It is worthy «1
note that while Secretary Houston has
not gone so far as to come out openly
and advocate legislation placing the
parks under the control of his dc
pr.rlment , in recent official state
ments he has suggested as much.
The administration of the forest
a* rvlce and of the national park ser
vice is conducted along lines which
overlap. Secretary Houston has sid
ed. Both are administered for I he
b> oefit of the public, and differ chi-s'ly
ip the fact that the attractions of the
parks from a recreational stundpoin
ate more notable. But this is no.
always true, the secretary stated
1 COMMON ERROR
The Same Mistake Is Made by Many
Alaskan People.
It's a common error.
To plaster me aching back.
To rub with liniment rheumatl.
joints.
If the trouble conies from the kidney*.
it's time to use Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is convincing proof of merit.
P. S. Kane, railroad engineer, 710
Seventh St., Sacramento, Cal., says: ‘T
injured my back and was afterward sub
ject to a dull, tiresome acne across my
loins and in my kidneys. The jarritt*.
and jolting from riding on the engln.
aggravated the trouble. It was hard foi
me to get up after bending over, owing
to the pain and lameness in my back
My feel and limbs swelled, which showed
mat my ktdmys were the cause of the
trouble. Doan’s Kidney Pills gave me
prompt relief. A box or two now and
men keeps me feeling all right.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's
Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Kane

I Thu time honored stages are to be

Several of the parks are Inferior in
their natural features to portions of j
tin forests.
"The need of drawing a clear din- 1
tinction between national parks nnd
national forests and of a- definite pul-’
icy governing their relation Is In
creasingly evident," was a recent
pi Inted statement of the secretary of
Agriculture. "The protection of the
< enic features and the development
f the recreational use of the land is
i cing taken care of in the national
forests," he continued.
After recounting confusion which
ai Ises la the administration of the
itiks and forests from the fact that
.hey are under different executive do.
I»rtments. and citing cases In log
g‘ng, road-building, grazing, recrea
tional, and other similar activities
where both were handicapped, Sec
retary Houston In effect suggested
the transfer of the parks to the de
portment of agriculture control by
stating: “While there 13 an effort
to cooperate, nevertheless difficulties
a' ise which could be wholly avoided
if they were under one department.
Unquestionably the administration ot
the forests should remain In the de
partment of agriculture, because of
the close relationship of the work of
the Forest Service to the activities of
ether bureaus of the samo department,
such as the Bureau of Plant Industry,
Bureau of Animal Industry, Office of
Public Roads and Rural Engineering,
Bureau of Biological Survey, and the
Bureau of Entomology. Obviously,
there are in the forests many pro
blems relating ,to live stock, plant
giowth. predatory animal and Insect
control, soil conditions, and roud and
trail work. These great bureaus are
diieetly and Intimately concerned with
these problems. If the forests were
transferred to another department,
that department either would have to
duplicate these bureaus in part, or
would have all the difficulties of co
operation with another department
which seem to be Inherent,”
