G.-The recent forest fires with their attendant loss of life and money are the subject of the Lake States Forest Fire confer ence which began here today Pub lie sentiment has been aroused to such an extent by the great loss of life and fortune in these condagra- tions and its demands for preventive measures is so insistent that every effort will be made to inaugurate pre- cautions against a repetition of the disaster.
 Never before has such an exhaust i've inquiry into the causes of forest fires been hold. Not only are means of insuring life and property against further loss receiving the attention of the members of the conference. but an attempt is being made to unearth the causes of the last fires Recently it was charged that the blaze which destroyed Spooner and Baudette. Minn., and laid waste thousands of acres of land, was caused by sparks from a passing locomotive. Officials of the accused railway vehemently denied this accusation and in turn laid the blame for the confagration upon the settlers. This matter will be thoroughly thrashed out before the conference closes tomorrow.
 The program for the conference was made up by J. E Rhodes, presi- dent of the Minnesota Forestry asso- ciation, and he succeeded in inducing many prominent men to come to St. Paul to discuss the causes and pre- vention of forest fires. At the open ing session Governor Eberhardt of Minnesota talked ou "The States Duty in the Preservation of Its For ests;" Governor Warner of Michigan on "Michigan's Forestry Policy" and Governor Davidson of Wisconsin on What the Forests Mean to the Peo- pie"

ARKANSAS SYNOD
 REDISTRICTED

At meeting held in Little Rock of the synodical commis- sion on home missions, composed of members from each of the four presbyteries of the Presby- terian Church, U. s. A., in Ar kansas, the State was redistric- ted in accordance with the union of the two branches of the Pres byterian Church, effected four years ago and recently upheld by the Supreme Courtof this State.
 Formerly the two branches of the church were known as the Presbyterian Church, U. s. A.. and the Cumberland Presbyter- ian Church. Under the provis- ions of the union the united church retains the name of Pres byterian Church, U. s. A. Many new churches were taken in as a result of the union and this made 1t necessary to readjust the dis tricts, When the State Supreme Court recently declared that the action of the two general assem- plies of the church in voting for union was valid and binding the work of readjustment was accel- erated.
 This city and county is includ- ed in the Little Rock Presbytery and the following counties em- brace the balance of this Presby- tery: Polk, Sevier, Little River, Miller, Hampstead, Howard Pike, Montgomery, Garland, Hot Spring, Clark, Nevada, Colum bia, Lafayette, Union, Ouachita, Cal houn, Dallas, Grant, Saline, Pu laski, Lonoke, Jefferson, Cleve- land, Bradley, Ashley, Chicot, Drew, Desha.

Mr.. Runciman testifies that it used
to be a saying among the Turks in
Constantinople that, whenever man
was drunk, it was conclusive proof
he was an Englishman. That re-
minds one of the story current in Ok
ford some years ago that in certain
eastern country the populace would
cry COX! Ok" after an inebriated per-
son-the explanation being that an
august native had brought the habit
home with him as the most visible re-
suit of his English university training.
There is phrase of our own which is
almost as bad-'as drunk as lord"
Probably that was not intended in
reprobation of the peerage. but sim
ply expressed the envy of the
humber Englishmen in less sober
days than those toward class who
could afford continuing to do what he
would if he could.-LOndon Chronicle.

EJaiN OSTRICH LOSES BRIDE
Pa.tc Because She Couldn't Cook
Steaks So They Would
Scratch His Throat

st. Louis, Mo.-Terrace O'Grady's
fondness for glass, tacks, tenpenny
nails and other dishes of which he
partakes when performing his "hu-
man ostrich" stunts on the stage, has
parted him from his bride OF two
months and landed him in the hands
of the police. His brides cooking did
not please him and his persistent COM
plants led to quarrels which culminat-
ed in a separation.
Mrs. O'Grady likes juicy steaks and
milk toast. The human ostrich" can
not eat piece of meat until it has
been cooked so dry and hard 1t lacer-
ates his gullet when he swallows 1t.
Milk toast also is to him an abomina-
tion. When he has toast 1t must be
done to a brown or black and be as
hard as fire can make 1t.
Coarse sandpaper for desert is an
other dish which Mrs. O'Grady never
could learn to prepare for her husband
or enjoy herself In fact. the tastes
of the two were found to be so far
apart that they simply we're irrecon-
cilable. The understanding here is
that when Mrs O'Grady served ice
cream to her husband he threw the
cream out the window and ate the
saucer with relish, and that caused
the first quarrel.
Friends of Mrs. O'Grady also say
that another cause of complaint she
has against her husband is that he re-
turned home one night feeling hungry
and went to the sdeboard, ate three
cut-glass dishes which she had re-
ceived as wedding presents. and com
pleted his repast by eating a hand
painted plate which she priced highly
because it had been painted by a
schoolgirl friend who has died since
the wedding.
These accusations may be over
drawn, but that there was something
radically wrong with O'Grady's appe-
tite was asserted in the Central dis
trict police station. O"Grady and his
bride met casually in the street. They
resumed their debates on gastronomic
questions. Finally O'Grady said
things which made his bride angry
and she had him arrested.
Why. he wants steak cooked so
hard you have to break it with an ice
pick" Mrs. O'Grady told the desk SER
geant. "He says he gets so used to
eating glass and tacks that he isn't
happy unless his food scratches when
he swallows it. When ! tried to make
toast for breakfast he would stand
at the fire and burn If hard and crisp,
so pretty nearly starved"
O"Grady was discharged after he
had told his side of the story.

Alcohol and Health,

There can be no room for doubt
concerning the general soundness Of
the statement that alcohol is no
strengthened of the human constitu-
ton. In every country statistics show
that mortality is much greater among
drinkers than among non-drinkers.
When alcohol is taken habitually it in
Injuries the whole constitution; all It's
sues and organs and especially the
blood, suffer sooner or later a patho-
logical change, with which the sus-
ceptibility to disease is greatly in
creased. The bad condition of the
blood, the weakness of the changed
heart muscles and the sunken energies
of the nervous functions all combine
to. give bad course to every disease,
and corresponding high mortality. 1t
is scientific certainty that alcohol
and health are not friends. but the bit
terest of enemies.

How Shakespeare Spoke.

Shakespeare " ould find his lines as
recited by the actors of to-day almost
unintelligible. according to Daniel
Jones, who gave an address before the

To prove his contention Mr.. Jones

The effect was a hotch-potch of doz-

FUDGE FATTENS GIRLS.

Says Food Expert Wiley.

Chicago. DR.. Wiley, who is United
States Pure Food Commissioner, and
the man who knows more about food
than anybody else, in a discourse on
food, what to eat and what not to cat,
said:
Fudge is harmful. 1t makes girls
Tat. owing to its excess of carbon hy-
drates, which produce adipose tissue.
College girls and high school girls are
round. roly-poly creatures instead OF
the slender maids that the country
used to know before the fudge craze
seized the nation. Fudge has become
a national feminine habit. Not only
do the college girls and the high
school girls eat fudge but it is made in
vast quantities in the country where
girls cannot buy candy except of the
worst grades. might almost say that
fudge is becoming a national menace.

Easy Enough for One Who Has
Learned by the Touch Method.

The typewriter who has learned to
typewrite by the touch method does
not need to look at the machine In
working It. BY this method the
learner begins and practises on a
machine whose keys have no letters
on them. simply blank tops. while
in front of the learner is placed
reproduction of the keyboard. with
all the letters and characters printed
on a sheet OF paper The beginner
learns the keyboard of the machine
from the printed keyboard. and
when she has once mastered this she
is able to keep her eyes on the notes
or copy she is transscribing and keep
all the time pounding away on the
machine without looking at the key
board at all. The training that she
has received prompts her every time
to strike the right key.
1t is a very familiar fact that peo-
pie play on a piano without looking
at the keyboard With our eyes on
the music in front the fingers in
stinctively seek and find the right
keys It is precisely the same In

HOSPITAL IN A TREE TOP.
Medical Mssionary's Plan for Curing
Phthisis In Persia.


Urbana. Ohio.-A cottage hospital
for the treatment of tuberculosis, each
cottage to be built in a tree top, was
announced as the plan of DR.. Arthur
Funk, medical missionary of the
Presbyterian Church. for eradicating
the disease in Persia DR.. Funk OBJ
tanned his idea from d. o. Steinberger,
a resident of this city, whose home is
in the branches of a giant oak.
When the Steinberger home was
constructed its owner was a victim of
pulmonary trouble. He now claims to
be fully recovered and asserts that his
life eighty feet above ground is re-
sponsible for his good health.
Dr. Funk and his wife are stationed
at Hamadan, a city of 5000 popula-
ton, about 200 miles west Of Teheran.
They are confident that the tree-top
plan will materially reduce the num-

MADE A BARITONE
BY HYPN0T|SM
Boys Voice Changed From Fal.
setto After a Year in Boston
Hospital
WAS TAUGHT DEEP BREATHING
Relaxation Of Nervous Spasm Sought
by Showing Proper Work Of Dia.
phragm--Expert Gave Him Psychic
therapeutic Treatment.

Boston. Changing boys voice
from falsetto to deep baritone by sug-
gestive hypaotism is the feat just ac-
complished in the Boston City Hospi-
tai. The success of the operation has
led Alice Nielsen, the opera singer, to
put herself upon record as having long
favored the use of magnetism in
voice training. A boy Of IA presented
himself for treatment at the City Hos
pital more than a year ago. He had
contracted a severe cold and by lack
of attention had lost his voice. The
case finally came to the neurological
department, of which DR.. Philip
Coombs Knapp is the head, and it
was turned over to DR.. Abraham N.Y.
erson, one of his assistants, who, al
though young man. has already won
a big reputation as a specialist in
psychotherapeutic treatment OF the
throat
Tho boy" says DR.. Myerson. had
been examined by the throat depart
ment and sent to the nerve depart
ment with the explanation that there
was nothing in his throat or nose to
account for his lack of voice. He was
not able to speak above a harsh whis-
per, and this trouble was diagnosed as
hysterical in origin. At the end of
two months of varied electrical treat
ment he ceased to call at the hospital
and did not again appear for several
months. He had neglected all treat
ment and his voice had ceased to be a
pure whisper, but had in it tinge of
a thin, high-pitched squeak like the
whistle of an old-fashioned peanut
roaster.
"The treatment used was simply di-
rected toward a relaxation of the
spasm. The patient was divested of
clothing and placed in reclining posi-
tion on table, where he was shown
how to use his diaphragm in breath
ing. After fifteen minutes instruc-
tion he managed to do this fairly well,
and next he was given instruction for
the control of his expiratory. At the
first treatment these were merely
vowels, and the instructor helped to
Offset the tendency to spasm by hold
ing down the larynx with his finger.
He made progress so rapidly that
after the third treatment he was dis
charged as cured. To-day his voice
is a good and constant baritone, which
at first startled him on account Of its
depth"
