PRESERVING THE FORESTS FROM
DESTRUCTION.
CRUSADE HEADED BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT TO PREVENT
FOREST FAMINE AND FLOOD RAVAGE
RICHARD HAMILTON BYRD.

RcServing forests in the Yves from
monOpolizalion for private Z, ! is a
government policy with which me peo-
pie have become somewhat familiar
our national forest reserves amounting
now To nearly sixty million acres; but
the idea of applying this principle 10
the older forests in the eastern states
may be new 10 some people and yet
is becoming Il prominent one. Moth.
ing is giving ii 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 diSci-
pie of forestry and the great pr0mi-
ncnce into which the subject has
jumped may be indicated 10y the
growth of the Bureau of Forestry
from II small office. few years ago,
employing half Il dozen people, to an
institution with annual appropriations
of half Il million dollars, employing
hundreds of trained forcStcrS in the
field, and having the supervision, ac-
tual and tentative of nearly hundred
million acres of forest.
If there ever was national ques-
tion ii is forestry, and the people of
the country are wise in waking up. or
fortunate IN being Weakened up, To its
overSladowlng Importance before IT.
~reyocahle damage shall have been
done.
The largest Of the proposed eastern
forest Reserves is that in the Southern
Appalachian Mountains ANA that its
establishment is n matter of national
concern was dwclt upon with cmpha-
sis by President Roosevelt in his adj
dress at Raleigh, y. c., on October -.
He pointed oul how vitality southern
forests affect southern indus
tries and thus the entire coun-
try. The entire south tic 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:
Il want To say Il word TO YOU on Il
special subject in which all the cour-
try is concerned. hut in which North
Carolina has 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
forcstation upon tile physical gcogra-
ply, and therefore ultimately upon
the national wcll-bcing 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

BLACK WALNUT NUTMEGS.
Bishop Potter Was Sure That He
Was Tasting the Real Article.

The power of suggestion is not
merely a phrase; 1t really is a power.
1t has the strength to deceive men in
the matter of cigars. wines, whiskeys
and what not. II 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.

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 a little grated nutmeg as
a flavor. This was embarrassing to

Aunt Dinah came in, her black face

that tone of complacent assurance,

In the Indian papoose child nature
is essentially the same as in the eau
casion babe. though there is a strik-
ing contrast In their manners, due to
maternal treatment, or as a student of
child nature might say, to environ
ment. The chief differences, really.
between the little Indian and the little
white is that the former is less a cry
baby than the latter. The reason for
this Is that the white baby usually gets
what he cries for If 1t be within moth
ers' power tosprecare it, Learning this
from experience, for every mother
e knows how wise and shrewd the baby
is, whenever he feels that a certain ar
ticle would conduce to his content

papoose, so far from being encouraged
an this vocal exercise, Is repressed. His
mother Is unresponsive and the baby
