vented? Cannot human ingenuity
caution, and wealth devise some means
of making such horrors impossible?
These questions have been asked
by thousands of persons throughout
the country in the last few weeks
ever since the first bad fire began
The Idaho disaster has given an add
ed insistence to these appeals for in
formation, appeals that indicate a
hope that some preventive system

In response to these questions Gif.

and Henry s. Graves. the present chief
forester. return the same answer:

Such fire. they say, is to be classed
with the great Chicago conflagration.

San Francisco earthquake. the Gal.

can neither be foreseen nor dealt with
in line of ordinary human endeavor.
This fire, according to Mr.. Pinchot,

OF circumstances. The main causes
were the exceptional drought and the
high, steady winds that prevailed for
a long period preceding the outbreak

But ordinary forest fires can be pre-
vented. Thousands upon thousands
OF them are prevented every year by
the forest rangers and forest guards
But they are ordinary fires, which, IL

the Idaho disaster. Just how many

Just as eternal vigilance is the price
OF peace. so eternal vigilance is the
price of safety from forest fires. As

THE APPENDICITIS PUZZLE.

Twenty five years ago the man who became III from what was then known as inflammation of the bowels had slight chance of recovery. Today, when the seat of trouble is known to be in the appendix, the case taken in reasonably good time yields 70 a sim pie operation and rarely results fa- tally.
 Physicians have been studying ap- pendicitis now for some years. Its bac- teriology has puzzled them. At last they believe they are on the verge of discovering the secrets of the disease.
 Typhoid and pneumonia are known to be caused by the same germ. Ap- pendicitis is observed to occur fre- quently after influenza, typhoid, pneu- monia and diphtheria. Bacteriologists have now established a relation be- tween the germs of these diseases and expect to connect appendicitis with the same germ family.
 It is even possible that eventually they will find perfect antitoxin to cover the entire meteorological connec- ton, and the human race will become immune, such a discovery would mean an annual saving of more than 100000 human lives in this country Journal.

General Fridge spent Monday after

The Jackson squad was the first on
the range, and will be followed by
other detachments up to and includ-

beeen made. and the target practice
is being participated in by every com
pany in the Third regiment
Major Shipton, commander of Jack
son Barracks, New Orleans, made an

and signal corps, while Major Ash
brook inspected the infantry. The
officers commended General Fridge
and the officers in charge for the ex

General Fridge will spend much Of
his time during target practice at the
range, and expects to return to Vicks
burg in a day or two.
