Canada Sends Warning Dreaded Euro
pean seourse Has Crossed Sea.
The serious potato blight known as
"black scab," "warty disease and 'po-
tato canker," which has ravaged the
potato fields of Europe for thirteen
years, has appeared on the American
continent. in Newfoundland. Farmers
in the United States are warned to
look for it and to m~akeRevery eff
fort to stamp it out at the first sign
Of it's appearance. The extraordinary
rapidity with which the potato canker
has spread yer nearly the whole Of
Europe and the v%irulence Of the dis

department Of agriculture fearful lest
the infected seed. imported from across
the sea to Newfoundland, should find
its way southwark and give the canker
a foothold on lower Canadian and
American soil.
This disease, wherever it is permit

Eating Black Beef.

The meat question in its relation to
high prices has brought about many a
fling at black and overripe beef. The
assumption is that people take risks
for the sake Of economy and that
dealers take advantage of the times
and put out beef unfit for the table.
Now, every housewife knows that at a
certain stage beef is 'just right" II
cooked too soon after it comes from
the block it is tough because ''too
fresh" The butcher knows this the
best Of all. He is honest in saying
that he let's beef age before bringing
it to his own table. For particular
customers he selects beef in the '.just
right" stage, confident that it will go
on the fire at the right time-that is.
before it gets overripe.
Cold storage brings up a serious
problem in the proper aging Of beef.
Meat from cold storage may deceive
the best judges and cannot be handled
in the kitchen the. same as air and
sun cured meat. So, while black meat
may be poisonous, meat may be black
and still wholesome. If black meat
passes the cooks eye the ultimate con
sumer will do well to reject it on gen
eral principles.

A Definite Forestry Policy.

A timely and encouraging note ia
sounded in the announcement by the
interior and agriculture departments
Jointly as to the future policy in ham
ding the forest reservation. Secretary
Wilson and Secretary Ballinger first
agreed upon a plan which received the
approval of the White House. In
effect the policy assures to the public
the use of all stretches Of land not
especially important for forestry pur-
poses and the reservation Of lands of
superior value as protective forests.
The aim will be to protect water
sheds and to plant open lands suitable
for tree culture except where their
permanent value may become greater
under cultivation than in forest.
Lands not suitable for tree culture or
not needed for protective purposes will
be eliminated from the national forests
except in special cases. This is true
conservation, to safeguard the natural
resources for the use Of the people.
Agriculture and settlement will be en-
c%ouraged, and the necessary water
sheds to serve them will be created
and preserved.

New Discovery Has RevoIutionized
 the Treatment of Skin Diseases
 Nothing in the history of medicine has ever approached the success of the marvellous skin remedy known as pos lam. which, it is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin dis eases than any remedy ever offered for these ills
 The success of poslam IS not at all surprising when it is considered that even very small quantity applied to the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks. The acne, herpes, letter, piles, salt rheun, rash, crusted humors, scaly scalp and every. form of itch. yield to it readily. Blem1shes such pfInples, red noses, muddy and inflarned skin disappear al- most immediately when poslam is ap- piled, the complexion being cleared overnight
 Every druggist keeps both the 5O-cent slze tor minor trOubles) and the $2 Jar, and either of these may be ob- tafned in Bridgeport at Jennie Hamil- tons Pharmacy as well as other re1i- able drug stores.
 But no one is even asked to purchase posiam without first obtaining ex- Per1menta1 package which will be sent by mail. free of charge, upon request, by the Emergency Laboratories, g West Twenty fifth street, New York City.

 London, Oct. 2s.-F'or fear that there will be wholesale invasion of the British Isles, by exiled members of Portuguese religious orders, militant Protestants in England to-day are urging the government to take steps to prevent such a situation In the last year, it was pointed, England has received nine-tenths of the monks and nuns driven from France. They have settled all over the country and built large naonasteries- and eonYents. The ultra-Protestants see in this Catholic increase in the population, an enormous increase in the Pope's power in England, and. quite apart from re- Hgion, English Protestants, have great fear of an overthrow.
