CHOSE TO DIE ON CHRISTMAS
Prominent Boston Physician
True to Cynical Philosophy.
IBy Telesr8ph to The Tribune.


Boston, Dec. 25.-Carrying out his
cynical philosophy to the end, Dr. Albert
Reeder, a prominent Back Bay physi-
clan, planned his death SO that his body
was found early this Christmas morning.
Dr. Reeder. who was ffty-five years
old, was one OF the best known physi-
clans in the city. He and his wife did
not live together, and of late years the
physician had grown morose and cynical.
He appeared TO be greatly offended at
any one laughing or enjoying themselves
near him. and is said To have declared
that the most appropriate time for death
was when there was the greatest happi-
ness.
DR.. Reeder made careful arrangements
for his own DEATH which was by gas
Word was left for his housekeeper to call
him late in the morning. Ii was she who
found his dead body.

BRITISH VIEW OF OUR NAVY

Britain has fallen short of the tradltlondl
criterion.
Admiral Mahan has published recent

OF the American people being the preset

hinted that should the British navy be
urpassed bv a foreign power the Unitei
States would have good reason to regard
that power as useful friend in time OF

Admiral Mahan's suggestion Is per
haps more to be noted as indicating the
view taken by the most learned and
acute of naval students with regard TO
the relative positions of this country
and Germany than as political fore
cast. In any case the presence Oh lhe

this critical period may well serve to re-

Money and expense are not essential to
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform a crude, mar
tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart
ment.
Really it is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice much as money.
Wall paper is expensive-it costs money
to buy it, to hang it and again to re-
move it. With the use of the alabastined
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material-any one can brush it on-and it
is not necessary to wash it off the wall
when a fresh coat is required.
1t is very easy to mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti
full A whole house can be done at just
a little more than the cost of a single
room when ordinary materials are used.
And this is true, that now that we have
so much better materials for use in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
wash, talow candles and rough hewn
floors. Mere money is no longer an es-
sential in good housefurnishing in artistic
home making.
The new materials and labor-saving ma
chimes are most welcome to us all-and

who cares for her home, is quick to utilize

-Four Million Acres Of Land to
Be Taken From Reserves.

Washington, Feb. 10.-More than
four million acres of land will be
stripped from the forest reserves of
the United States in the near future
and restored to the public domain for
homestead settlement through the gov.
ernment's policy in carrying out Gif.
ford Pinchot's idea as to the classified.
ton Of forest lands.
THIS is the initial result of Presi
dent Taft's approval Of q plan jointly
submitted to him few days ago by
Secretaries Wilson and Ballinger for
the Redistribution of these lands.
The lands involved are those not
suitable for forest purposes and rep
resent more than per cent of the to
tai forest area. As three-fourths of
the forest domain still is unclassif1ed,
it is difficult to estimate what will be
the total elimination when the whole
area has been mapped out
1t cannot be- stated at this time what
Withdrawals will be made, as the sub
ject is under consideration.
