Rockland, Me-, Had Been
Destroyed
SUSPECT FIREBUG, AS
SIGNAL CORD WAS CUT

District of the
Place

HEAT MEANS HEALTH,
Warm Days Have Beneficial Effect
on Your Spinal Marrow.

Warm Days Have a Beneficial Effeoi
on Your Spinal Marrow.
Kansas City Star: Heat should
mean health. OF course the death
dealing heat that sometimes smites
down humanity in the big cities or the
malaria, steamtng heat of some parts
OF the tropics cannot bring health. But
ordinary summer heat ought to put
you IN good condition to stand all the
Wlntry- blasts that are in store.
Hippocrates, the wise old Greek
physician who lived four centuries be-
fore Christ, has this to say about the
relative virtues of cold and heat:
cold is inimical to the bones, the
teeth, the nerves, the brain and the
spinal marrow, but heat is beneficial
from this statement may we not
draw the inference that heat brings
health to the marrow of the spine, the
braln' the nerves, the teeth and the
bones? And if all these constituent
parts of the body are in healthy con-
d1tton because of the heat, shall we
not be glad that it exists and rejoice
in it?
1t is fact that the body expands to
the healing influences of blandly warm
weather. If you walk out on an early
summer morning you unconsciously
sun, the soothing touch of the fresh,
mild breezes that seem to have swept
over miles of sun n-bathed fields and
trees and lakes. Your brain is washed
clean of cobWebs. Your lungs expand
and behold your spinal marrow, your
bones and the rest of you is toned up
and refreshed
Jerhaps you are one of the fortu-
nate persons who can don layer of
clothes two or three or four inches
thick, and then put on a sweater,
muttler, a coat and an extra pair of
gloves, and walk forth in a sprightly
fashion to enjoy the exhilarating caress
of a tWenty-mile wind when the mer-
curry is flirting with the zero mark in
the thermometer.
If you are such a person, doubtless
you suffer like a stole through the
warm and health giving days of sum-
mer. It's joys are not for you. They
are for the person who is not quite
grave enough, perhaps, to enjoy the
crisp cold of January, not quite enough
OF an optimist to wade uncomplaining-
~ through the winters snow, but who
knows that health and comfort and
ease and expansion go hand in hand

WHAT WORRIES FRANCE,

The proportion of births to deaths ir
France is improving. Thanks. probab-
ly, to laws giving a premium on child
.Fbearing. and for better sanitation. the
number of births has increased and the
deaths have decreased. In 1912 the
births were 75O.651 an increase OF
8,537 over 1911. though still below the
fiye-year average.
The far greater gain was in the
deaths, which were reduced $4,000 in
1912, so that for that year the net pop
ulation gain was nearly $4,000. But
while the number of births may con-
stantly increase, the decrease in the
death rate is believed to have about
reached the limit, as the saving of in
fant life and prolonging Of adult years
necessarily ha sa practical fixed limit
alton. .....',
s@ss So while France sees cause for con-
graduation, this is while it's thought is
fixed at home. When it looks across
5 the border into Germany and considers
the German mothers, it finds less cause
for comfort. In 1912 the German pop-
.Mlatfon increased nearly 100000 and
staht of Austria and Italy another 5oo,-
900 each.
IT'S one genuine consolation ia that
with this great lighting force addea
leach year to the triple alliance, the
triple entente balance is still kept by
Z Russia where race suicide has not be-
come a fad.

SELECT THE SEED.

In this issue will be found some
practical advice, from the agricultural
college on the selection Of seed corn,
which The Forum believes, should be
e.Eiven the widest publicity among the
farmers of the state.
g. North Dakota has raised some splen-
did corn crops in the past few years,
considering the fact that only a few
Wears ago it was the prevalent opin-
ion that corn could not be matured in
the state. This year Is expected to be
the banner year in corn growing. The
weather has been ideal, and owing
to the national corn shortage, because
of the drought in some of the big corn
states. corn will be particularly val
liable crop
1t is well known fact that North
e Dakota grown corn is much better for
seed than southern raised corn, be-
cause Of the fact that it has to a GER
tain extent become acclimated. It has
been proved that corn matured in the
north will produce a quicker matur-
ing corn than the southern grown
variety.
Because of this, and in view of the
excellence Of this years crop, every
farmer who has grown field of corn,
should pay close attention. to seed
selection. 1t is something of a knack,
this picking out good seed corn, and
the advice Of the experts is worth
needing.
Proper seed selection is one Of the
prime necessities in successful farm
ing. 1t is one Of the features of mod
ern farming on which special stress
is laid, and this is true, not alone of
corn, but Of all other grains A little
special care at this time Of the year,
will add greatly to the value of next
years crop.

BANKERS AMENDMENTS
: OF CURRENCY BILL

New York Journal of Commerce:
country were fairly and fully repre-
sented at the conference held at Chi
cago at the end of last week 1t was
we'll for their representatives, while
recognizing the earnest wish of the
administration to give a wise law to
the country, and expressing a pro-
found desire "to cooperate in eVery
way, to set forth fully and candidly
the changes which they believed
should be made in the pending bill. 1t
was better than offering to make con-
cesslons or proposing compromises,
and 1t enabled them to give the special
force of unanimity to their conclusions.
1t does not follow that they expected
an, or even the most important of
these conclusions to be accepted by
congress or that the committee of
seven sent to Washington will insist
upon anything of the kind. as condi-
ton of giving support or withholding
opposition to the bill. Some of the
suggestions are such as should be ac-
cepted, and can be so without impair
ing any of the essential features of the
measure. There are certain ones which
would not only strengthen its support
but would improve It for it's avowed
objects.
The bankers may be right in prefer
ring one reserve bank or reserve asso-
citation to several, but it is certain that
they cannot obtain SO radical change.
and it is rather more than doubtful
whether they can have the number
limited to mot more than five" This
seems to be virtually acknowledged In
the other proposals, for they apply
chiefly to transactions between dis
trlcts and reserve banks, which imply
larger number They are right in
recommending that the membership of
national banks in the proposed system
should be optional instead of compul-
sorry. It should be made to the advan-
tage of both national and state insti-
tutions to belong to it, Coercion is
undesirable and would be likely to re-
suit finally in weakening rather than
the system. The holding
Of United states bonds, which are liza
BILE to depreciate, would deter with
drawals for a time, but duress of any
kind is poor way of sustaining pub
lie credit. If membership in the re-
serve banks is made advantageous
they will hold the national institutions
and attract those of states. In that
case the suggested reduction of the in
VeStment of each member in the capt.
tai of the reserve banks from 20 to 10
per cent of their own capital stock
might be feasible f.ye ~ 81

WILSON AND MEXICO,

r. Undoubtedly there. will be much OF
2 tcriticism expressed regarding the atti-
j tude President Wilson has assumed to-
ward Mexico. as expressed in the mes
Usage that he personally delivered to
fcongress yesterday. Wilson will be ac-
: cused of being too easy, of lacking in
&, backbone.
The Forum believes. however. that
the president never has shown more
backbone than in the stand he has
taken in this instance.
T 1t would be the easy thing, the pop
uIar thing to throw the army into
= Mexico and. no matter what the cost
to restore order there, and
3protect American property. It
!. is the hard thing, the un-
popular thing, to take the higher
stand that the president has taken.
and which he has so ably expressed in
the following paragraph:
The peace, prosperity and content
ment of Mexico mean more, much
more, to us than merely an enlarged
lneld for our commerce and ENTERPRISE
3They mean an enlargement of the field
! of self lf-government and the realization
of the hopes and rights Of q nation
with whose best aspirations, 50 long.
suppressed and disappointed, we deep
( ly sympathize. We shall yet prove to
the Mexican people that we know how
! to serve them without first thinking
Ehow we shall serve ourselves"
1t takes big man to say a thing
like that. It takes bigger man to
prove he means it by his actions.
President Wilson is proving to be a
mighty big man.
