streets wandered off indefinitely. Their e

cancelled. The board last Eight referred
the matter to the insurance committee

believe in changing the rule. He thought
that ha0 contributions ought not he col

Intelligent Forestry

The Boston Herald had the following
editorial under the title of "Intelligent
Forestry = At the meeting of the North
eastern Lumbermen's Association, the
formation of which is an important step
toward the better regulation of lumber
interests, Mr.. George b. James spoke
the right word in his address of welcome,
when he said that 1.-THE thoughtful own
er of spruce forests will only cut the
larger and ripper specimens, leaving the
younger and smaller trees to increase
in size and quality in years to come.
The recognition of this principle in for
estry by practical lumbermen means a
great deal. The practice in former
years has been too much the other way,
and since wood pulp has rapidly increas-
ed in demand the danger has been that
the future supply of spruce timber would
be seriously diminished MIR. james
points out that it is for the interest of
the owners of spruce forests to protect
them in evey possible way from destruc-
ton. If other forest trees are used for
wood pulp, the demand for spruce will
ED lessened, but its use for building pur-
poses is so universal that it is wise To
take every precaution to preserve these
forests from future injury. Mr.. james
looks to the diminished slaughter of the
forests with the tariff removed from
lumber, and the Lumbermen's Associa-
citation will not only regulate the pro-
duction of lumber by the law of sup
ply and demand, but do something 10
keep prices uniform in the market. His
address embodies nearly all that we have
contended for in opposing the destruc-
ton of the forests.

81 WOULD RATHER DIE!

On the third floor of an ordinary lodging
house in The City of Brooklyn was found
the body of lodger, with revolver by his
side and bullet in his head. In his pocket
was found book in which was written;
81 am tired of life because am suffering from

while have no hope OF getting better.
What commentary on our boosted civil
izationi A poor wretch, suffering from
what he supposed was an incurable disease,
snuffs out his Pickering life with bullet.
Where did he get the idea that his disease
was incurableg From an old-time theory
which modern investigation has exploded.
Many diseases may be considered incur
able, but that does not make them So.
During the past few years scientists have
discovered, In the tuberculosis germs, the
cause of consumption. Their inyestiga-
tons have found cnre for the mllldy, In
Ozone and Guaiacol. These agents de-
stroy the germs which produce the disease.
Compounded with pure Cod Liver Oil, they
form Ozomulsion, which is sold by all Drug
gists This remedy cures consumption and
all lung troubles. 1t first destroys the cause
of disease-the poisonous germs which pro-
duce it-and then restores the patient TOT per
feet health. The Ozone and Guaiacol kill the
germs. The Cod Liver Oil provides the flesh
and strength. Thatis the principle on which
this medicine works. 1t is both rational and
reasonable; and tits doing more for the cure
of lung troubles than any other preparation.

The NorridgewOck's Bell.

George j. Narney, in the current num-
Der of Donahoe's Magazine, gives the
romantic story of the old Norridgewock
bell which in the earliest days of Names
history used to summon the faithful to
prayers in the little log chapel where
Father Rasle said mass for his dusky con-
verts. The bell was sent to the mission
from France, and when the village was
attacked and destroyed by tie English in
1924 it went down in the ruins of the
building and was buried in the embers
Here it was found few days later by an
Indian lad, an acolyte of the church,
who dug it out and bore it away into the
forest. Later, when few scattered
families returned and rebuilt their wig
vans, they searched for the bell in the
ashes and were surprised and disappoint-
ed when it proved to be missing. The
boy finally told them that he had taken
it away but refused to disclose its hiding
place, though he sometimes said "Mayi e
Indian hear ringing mathis some moon
for big village 1t was not until after
the war of 1912 that a wood chopper saw
something that looked like the top of a
kettle protruding from the roots of an
uprooted tree. 1t proved to be the bell,
rust.eaten but unbroken, which had
been hidden in the hollow trunk of a
tree for over century. 1t was brought
down to Norridgewock and later taken
to the medical school at Brunswick,
from which it finally passed into the
keeping of the Historical society at
Portland.
