Boston Traveller and Evening
Herald)
Former Gov. Albert w. Gill
christ of Florida has accepted the
Invitation of Gov. Walsh to at
tend the annual Governors con-
ference, which will be held in
Boston this year, Aug. "a to 81,
inclusive. Gilchrist will speak at
the conference on "The Techni-
calities of the Law"
Gilchrist is candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate in his State,
and to judge by some of his cam
paign literature" which was re-
ceived at the Governors office to-
day, he will be one of the "char-
acters" of the conference. He
describes himself as follows:
Height, 6 feet 2 inches. "
Weight, one-tenth of a long
ton. "
"Ageg Unmarried, yet hope
full"
Following are other excerpts:
"The votes of the unmarried
and those who have been unmar-
ried will almost elect him.
"He wants the votes of Phohib-
the Suffrage-to-gets, Lo-
cal Optionists, Corporationists
and Ants, the Rich and Want-to-
Bes, the Poor and Don 't-Want-tc
Bes, the Good, Pharisees, Publ
cans and sinners.
While Governor he blew the
horns of the 46 or Al counties in
his own state; he has now to blow
his own horn.
"Iis mother told him that his
father wanted to be Governor of
Florida. He decided he would
try to go to the Legislature, try
to be speaker and try to be Gov
ernor. One of his ancestors was a
United States Senator from South
Carolina, about 1896. He is now
trying for the senate. Two of his
relatives were Presidents, Wash
ington and Madison. In the CUB
conferences he held his
own. If he lived in any but a
southern state, he would have
tried for the presidency. Nothing
like modesty."
He was Governor of Florida
from January, 1909, to January
1918.

THE VALUE OF THE
NATIONAL FORESTS
TO THE FARMERS
Destruction of Woods Means Loss
of Markets
FOREST SERVICE ARTICLE
Details Given and Instances Cited
in Proof of Contention
States in which are Nation
al Forests.


Washington.-ln regions where
timber is the most important nat,
ural resource permanent forests
managed with view to sustained
timber production are absolutely
essential to the continuance OF
agriculture, according to an ar
ticle in the Year Book of the De-
partment of Agriculture just pub
lished. The result of exploiting
the timber without thought of the
future is the final disappearance
of numbering operations and
therefore the withdrawal of an
important local market for farm
products. In addition, forest fires
often ravage the cut-over lands
and thus preclude the develop
ment of new local market by the
resumption of numbering; for af-
ter fire there is no chance for a
new crop of trees.
From a region where produc-
tive timberland has been convert
ed into barren waste, the farm
ers usually have to move out,
There are parts of the United
States in which cultivation of the
soil has ended with the cessation
of local numbering, or at least
shortly afterward, because with
the withdrawal of the woods
workers went the farmers mar
ket for meats, vegetables, hay,
and grain. There are other re-
gions where the stability Of local
agriculture is absolutely bound up
with forest protection. This is
strikingly true in parts of the Ap-
palachian mountains Of the East /;
it is no less true in many of the
national forest regions of the
West.
A few years ago, continues the
article, more than a hundred farm
ers in Montana petitioned against
the then proposed elimination of
their section from the Kootenai
National Forest. Its elimination
they knew, from the history Of
adjacent land outside the forest,
would mean that it would at once
be taken up by timber spectators
and lumber companies to be held
for years without development.
They knew also that if this came
about, neighbors could not be OBJ
tanned or roads and schools be de-
veloped in the county as rapidly
as if the land remained under gov
ernment control, by which the
portions really more suitable for
agriculture than for forest pur-
poses would in time be entered by
permanent settlers under the For
est Homestead Act.
In 1911, an association of Colo
RADIO farmers, who irrigated their
farms with water form the North
Platte River, sent an urgent re-
quest to the government to re-
strict timber cutting on the North
Platte watershed, so that, as far
as possible, high spring freshets
could be prevented and more wa
ter made available for irrigation
during the summer months, when
the crops were most in need. They
said that they had relied upon the
national forest, within which the
watershed lay, to ensure steady
flow of water for their crops.
The national forests, says the
article, besides being the Ameri-
can farmers most valuable source
of wood, which is the chief build
ing material for rural purposes,
are also his most valuable source
of water, both for irrigation and

ENTHUSIASTS ON
SANITATION ARE
FAKERS' VICTIMS
In Many Instances Where Term
is Misused
NO ONE ABSOLUTELY SAFE
From Contact With Disease
Germs Outside a Vacuum Case,
Fed With Sterilized Air, Food
and Drink.

In these modern, strenuous days
many splendid movements for thu
body or soul unlift of mankind il
general or in particular, degener
ate to the level of fads. The NOR
al influence is excellent on tht
amateu" faddist, for he, or she
imagines that he, or she, is really
useful in this much demoralizeo
world, but on the victim the re
suit is damaging.
The magnificent ideas involved
in the prison reform movement
or in the reform of the prisoner
have been perverted to the serious
injury of the prisoner himself by
these short-sighted enthusiasts.
The doctors have been preach.
ing for years from the text Of
lower sick and death rates from
better sanitary personality and
surroundings. Fakers have used
the word sanitary to advertise
their wares and the people have
believed and bought-in short,
they have been :" stung". Cleanly
people have absorbed the idea
that such things have virtue in
them because the manufacturers
say they have, they pay their
good money and consider them
selves safe.
No one can be absolutely safe
from contact with disease outside
a vacuum glass case, fed with
sterilized air and food and drink
We know there are certain dis
ease organisms always in the air,
at some times more than others,
and it is the resisting power Of
the individual that enables him to
fight successfully their attacks.
This is illustrated by the many
times repeated occurrence in
which two persons are alike ex-
posed to pneumonia or other dis
ease. One with low resisting
power gets it. The other escapes
because of his resisting power,
due to good health and high ply
sical condition.
In other words, the best pro-
lection Of the individual from dis
ease is in his resisting power. This
is attained and preserved by per-
sonal cleanliness, by vigorous,
elastic physical condition which
comes from an absence of worry
and overwork, backed by clean
surroundings and personality.
The man who gets up in the morn
ing tired and unrested by sleep,
is an easier victim to disease than
the man who is ready to fight as
soon as he gets into his clothes.
While health teachers by n
means deprecate of depreciate the
value of caution, of real sanitary
precaution, there is a certain men,
tai condition into which people
work themselves by constant ap-
prehension of disease that makes
life a burden and robs them of the
highest enjoyment of the desira-
bic things that the Almighty put
into the world for us all to enjoy.
There is vast distinction be-
tween Indifference and overcau-
ton about sanitary matters, and
one is almost as harmful as the
other. The middle ground be-
tween is what the sanitarian
wants to teach and reach. He
wants to warn against the numer-
Gus fake devices which, misusing
the word sanitary, are construed
for the purpose of sepa-
rating the public from its money.

Hair Don't Use Soap

contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle
The best thing to use is just plain

and entirely greaseIess. It's very
cheap and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces You can get this
at any drug store. and a few ounces

pamphlet containing a history of the
pOlicewoman movement and stories of
human interest from Miss Corning s
experience The foreword is written
by the Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon, the
originator of the plan of employing
women in police service
Since policewOmen were first en-
ployed in Topeka, many other cities
have adopted the plan and the move
ment has spread from coast to coast
and from Alabama even into Canada.
Chicago employs twenty-five police
women
Il received so many letters from all
parts of the United States asking in
formation about pOlfcewomen and the
work they do, 1 decided it would save
time for me to write book instead of
writing letters. Incidentally I expect
to receive a little money from the sale
of the copies Miss Corning said
