PRESERVING THE FORESTS FROM

CRUSADE HEADED BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO PREVENT
FOREST FAMINE AND FLOOD RAVAGE.
RICHARD HAMILTON BYRD.

Reserying forests in the west from
monoDolization for private gain is a
government policy with which the peo-
Die Baye become somewhat familiar,
orr national forest reserves amounting
now to nearly sixty million acres but
the idea of applying this prinelple 70
the older forests in the eastern states
NAV be new to some people and yet
is becoming a prominent one. Moth
ing is giving 1t popularity and import
ance SO much as the great interest
manifested by the President IN the
subject.
There are proposed great national
reservations in the Southern Appala-
chan forests, in the White Mountains,
in Minnesota, and in other eastern
states, entirely separate and apart from
the great reservations in the west
President Roosevelt is an arch dlscl-
pie of forestry and the great proml-
nence into which the subject has
jumped may be Indicated by the
growth of the Bureau of Forestry
from a small office, few years ago,
employing half a dozen people, TO an
institution with annual appropriations
of half a million dollars, employing
hundreds of trained foresters In the
field, and having the supervision, &C,
tual and tentative of nearly hundred
million acres of forest.
If there ever was a national ques
ton it is forestry, and the people oil
the country are wise in waking up, OF
fortunate in being Weakened up, to Its
overshadowing Importance before If
revocable damage shall have been
done.
The largest of the proposed eastern
forest reserves is that in the Southern
Appalachian Mountains and that its
establishment is a matter OF national
concern was dwelt upon with empha'
sis by President Roosevelt in his adj
dress at Raleigh, N. c., on October 20
He pointed out how vitality southern
forests affect southern indus
tries and thus the entire coun-
try. The entire soUth-the territory
east of the Mississippi and south OF
the Ohio rivers-is affected by this
proposed reservation of some -four
million mountain acres in which rise
all the rivers which water this area
The President said:
81 want to say a word to you on
special subject in which all the coun-
try is concerned, but in which North
Carolina has a special concern. The
preservation of the forests is vital to
the welfare of every country. China
and the Mediterranean countries offer
examples of the terrible effect of de-
forestation upon the physical geogra-
ply, and therefore ultimately upon
the national well-being of the nations.
One of the most obvious duties which
cur generation owes to the generations
that are to come after us Is to pre-
serve the existing forests. The prime
difference between civilized and un-
civilized peoples is that in civilized

MAS Tasting the Real Article.
The power of suggestion is not
merely a phrase; it really is a power.
1t has the strength to deceive men in
the matter of cigars, wines, whiskeys
and what not. 1t is force in medicine
as every doctor knows. 1t is an agent
in therapeutics. The power of sug-
gestion and the force of example are
intimately related. But to illustrate
the pranks which suggestion may play
with ones palate the following story is
told on Bishop Potter, reverend gen.
tleman of ecclesiastic note and recent
Subway Tavern fame:
In the course of his diocesan ram
bles he called on an old friend from
the South. 1t was evening, and the
bishop was invited to supper, not din
ner, for as people of the South know
the appropriate time FOR dinner is mid
day and the meal after candle-light is
supper. One of the dishes served was
cottage-cheese or as it is more often
called in the language of the olden
time "smear-case." This Is often eaten
under a plentiful dressing of cream
and sugar. The bishop elected to have
a mess" of "smear-case" but his ap'
petite craved little grated nutmeg as
a favor. This was embarrassing to
the hosts wife at the foot of the sup
per table, but she said to Aunt Dinah
who waited on table, Aunt Dinah,

"Well, ask Mrs. Tomlinson. next

"She amt got none. She done use

reported Aunt Dinah.
"Well, then, run down to Miss Bet
sy's and see IL she's got nutmeg, "
said the troubled hostess, who talked
with augmented vivacity and ANNA
ton to make the time pass quickly till
that nutmeg should be brought Soon
Aunt Dinah came in, her black face
wreathed with triumphant smiles, and
placed before the bishop the mess OF
'smear-case" generously sprinkled
with grated nutmeg.
"Ah," said the bishop, speaking with
that tone of complacent assurance
coming from a consciousness of a per
feet familiarity with his subject

brides that the neighbors might not
charge her with neglect OF maternal
duty. or her baby with an evil DISPOSE
ton. Yet another reason for the calm
and placid habit and orderliness OF the
papoose as compared with his fair
brother is that the darker little saw
age has no cradle, crib or go-cart to
sport and gambol In, but is either
packed tightly in basket or strapped
to a board. In this position he finds
kicking and squirming uncomfortable
