FORESTRY BENEFITS
APPRECIATED AND PRACTiCED
BY THE LUMBERMEN OF
THE COUNTRY.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Wilson Attend a Meeting of the
Society Of American Foresters at
Washington-Prosperity of Homes
by Preservation of Forests.

Washington. D. c., March 27.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Wilson
OF the department of agriculture, were
among the members of the Society of
American Foresters, who attended the
weekly meeting of that association at
the home of Clifford Pinchot, chief
forester of the department of agricul-
ture last night. The president remain
ed about half an hour. He made an
interesting talk to the assembly on the
general subject of the preservation of
forests and of forestry as a profession.
He said that the object of the forestry
policy was to make prosperous homes
and to see chat they were kept so.
Homes, he said, could be made tenn
porarily prosperous through forest de-
.struction, but could not be made per-
manently SO except by the preserva-
ton of the forests. Forestry, he de-
clared was the preservation of forests
by a wise use Of what they afforded.
The professional forester, he said, had
as wide a field Of usefulness as men in
other professions, such, for instance,as
medicine and law, and they should fit
themselves for it by thorough study
and by a wide point of view. The most
hopeful sign in the for st situation,
the president believes, is that the lum-
bermen r approaching the benefits
Of forestry and are practicing it. The
pr esident touched on the subject Of
irrigation and in this connection de-
clared that forest preservation is ne
cessary to the successful operation
of this means of assisting the farmer
in arid regions.
81 believe there is no body of men,"
said President Roosevelt, who have
it in their power to accomplish more
than those engaged in scientific in
vestigations, and this is especially
true Of those engaged in practical and
scientific forestry. You can not at
ford to forget for one moment what is
the object of the national forest pol
icy. Primarily that object is not to
preserve the forests because they are
beautiful, nor the homes of willy
creatures, but because it IS essential
to the making of prosperous homes
and a part of the traditional policy of
the home making in our country. The
Of home making depends in
the long I'll in the wisdom with
which the nation cares for its forests.
You must keep your high ideas and
seek to realize them in a practical
way"

Typhoid Fever.

Typhoid fever, which is unfor-
tunately common at all times of the
year, is unusually prevalent at pres
ent in an unusually violent form. We
present few facts that our readers
ought to know about typhoid fever
While not the most deadly Of diseases,
modern medical practice having re-
duced the percentage of mortality to
about 6 per cent, it is extremely de-
bilitating and often attended by very
serious and lasting complications. 1t
is a germ uIsease, and lis commum
cable so far as we know in only one
way. The germ must be taken into the
system in food or drink. The germs
exist in drinking water, which has
come in contact with the sewage OF
communities or with old wells that
have been tainted by being too near
dwellings. The poison is mitigated by
various acids, but it is surely killed by
great heat. The lest way to insure
against the disease is to boil the drink
ing water Some people say that thus
spoils the flavor, but it requires a nice
palate and one skilled in tasting
water to detect the difference in
flavor and bouquet between boiled
water and water that has not been
boiled. Milk and oysters are occasion
ally sources of infection. Remember
that the germs must be eaten or
drunk, and a person that drinks only
water or milk that has been boiled,
and refrains from eating raw oysters
or vegetables, is in about as much
danger from typhoid as he is from
death by lightning. Immunity from
the disease even during epidemics de-
ponds upon the exercise of very
small degree of caution-Collier
