Christmas Trees No Loss

Persistent endeavor on the part of
the advocatestof conservation of the
timber supply, says the Providence
Journal, has greatly reduced the loss
es reported during the holiday season
in the northern forests.
In the Adirondacks, for example, it
is stated that the cutting of Christ
mas trees valued at 100000 has
caused no damage, because judgment
was exercised in the selection of the
evergreens to be marketed. Instead
of denuding large areas, as in pre-
vious years, only the young growth
that interfered with the development
of the largest and best trees was re-
moved. The systematic selection of
Christmas trees thus benefited the for
ests by giving more light and air to
the more valuable timber
It is regretted that the simple and
sensible rules now being followed in
the Adirondacks were not observed
many years ago. Millions of good
trees have been lost through ignorance
and carelessness of the owners Of
woodland. At Christmas time the GUS
tom was to strip the ground-there
was no thought of the future. The
lumbermen were no less destructive
the mature trees were sent to the
saWmill, while the smaller growth
was cut down and burned lust to
get it out of the way" The reform
was late in coming. but it is fortunate
that at last there is appreciation Of
the practical benefits Of conservation
in the woods.

A man who has hunted deer every
fall since he was boy, didn't go to
the woods this year on account of the
fact that his back was so painful that
he preferred the hospital instead.
There he was carefully examined by
most competent physicians and sur
geons who were unable to find any
thing in the back to account for the
pain and disability. Following the
modern custom of the best physicians
and surgeons, however, these doctors
didn't confine their examinations to the
immediate location of the pain and dis
comfort. Instead, they pinched and
punched every part of his exposed
anatomy from the top of his head to the
soles of his feet. They landed on two
or three rotten teeth and had them re-

moved. Four or five days later, the
patient left the hospital with only one
sore spot, and that was due entirely to
the close of the deer season.
Chronic Bright's Disease is, or has
been, supposedly, an incurable disease.
Nevertheless, Mrs B. of Milwaukee had
it Enthusiastically and has now recovered.
Her physicians found several defective
teeth and pair OF badly diseased ton
sils. For the sake of prolonging her
life for a few years, rather than with
any hope Of curing her, he had these
diseased teeth and tonsiIs removed. To
the amaZement of everyone, the albu-
men disappeared from the urine, blood
pressure was lowered to normal range
and the patient can now pass an insur-
ance examination.
The son of prominent Wisconsin
family had never had much "pep."
AS baby, he had persistent fever
which it was feared was due to Tuber
culosis. During the past year, he had
frequent "upsets' accompanied by
fever which required confinement to
bed. His tonsils were suspected but
did not appear uncommonly large nor
subject to disease. Nevertheless the
family physician had him referred to a
nose and throat specialist suspecting
that the tonsils might be responsible.
The specialist found evidence of disease
not easily discernible and the tonsils
were removed. After removal, the
tonsils when cut into were found to
contain many small disease pockets.
1t is now believed that these were
sufficient to have kept up more or
less constant poisoning because the
little patient gained five pounds during
his first week after the operation.

Modern PoIiteness.

Where the crowds rub elbows, the
polite man is now too often one who
has something to sell. He is suave,
bland, conciliatory, and compliment

that the poorer the article, the smooth
er must be the salesman. A grotesque
situation-this assumption Of the un-
natural for purpose clearly visible
to the one it is desired to influence
often by the concealment of truth
