A TRUE RELIGION.
(Anderson Mail.)

The various subjects discussed by
church conventions and the methods
suggested for their adjustment argue
encouragingly in favor of the times
Those engaged in the discussion may
differ as to ways and means, as an
exchange suggests, but the sincerity
of their motives and the honesty OF
their convictions are not questioned
Good comes of it all.
Occasionally, however, conven'
ton of one, when the right man is
in the pulpit, gets down to the meat
of the situation so effectively that the
principle advocated seems capable OF
almost universal application. The
Mobile Register speaks approvingly
of one of this kind.
"a minister told the crowd at the
Richton fair the other day that he
had no patience with a farmers re-
Ggion if it failed to make him bet
ter tiller of the soil. He meant that
good farmer lived the high princi-
pie of farmers with his lands, his
stock and hiS family"
Somehow, this gets back to Cali
lee. Ponderous times by the early
fathers were written indoors about
things that belong to the light of day.
Most of these volumes have been re-
legated to the gloom of the closets,
where they: belong. The original
teachings and admonitions were de-
livered in the open-on the noun
tains, hi the plains, by the seashore-
where men congregate. The leisure
Of the fair grounds, with all kinds
brought together, drawn aside for a
time to rest, would seem suitable
place for a return to the simple and
direct method that once prevailed.
Nor was the word far wrong. True
religion is living and not a phil
osophy or a school of thought. It has
to do with the here and now, rather

Pisgah Forest
y United States
Game Preserve

Asheville, N. c., November o.
Pisgah National Forest in Western
North Carolina near BlItmore, which
was purchased from the George w,
Vanderbilt estate, has been made a
Federal game preserve by procla-
nation Of the President of the Unit
ed States, and deer, wild turkey, and
other game that are said to be plen-
tiful in this>tract, which is regarded
as. one of the most interesting places
in the "Land of the Sky" will be
protected by the Government. This
Is the first Federal game preserve of
its kind to be created east of the
Mississippi River. Pisgah Forest is
easily accessible from all parts of
the South, being reached by main
lines of the Southern Railway from
and Spartanburg, S. C.
Owing to the protection. against
hunting which has been afforded the
tract for number of years, the
game has not been killed out, as is
the case in most places in the south
ern mountains. AS game preserve,
no hunting will be allowed in the
Forest, and as deer and other game
increase on the area it is expected
that the overflow will drift out of
the Forest and gradually re-stock
adjacent lands. A movement now is
on foot to place a herd of elk and
one Of buffalo in the preserve this
winter.
Regulations governing the camping
and fishing privileges have been
drawn up in cooperation with local
citizens and sporting clubs, and will
be issued by the Secretary of, Agri-
culture. It is understood that regu-
lated fishing will be allowed, but the
number of permits issued the first
season will be purely experimental,
since the capacity of the streams is
not known. ~

HEAT WON'T HELP MATURITY
Pesult Of Columbia Professors Studies
Conflicts With Former
Views.

Children do not reach maturity in
tropical climates more quickly than in
temperate climates. This remarkable
conclusion, which runs contrary to a
widely held belief, has been reached
by Prof Franz Boas, professor of an
thropolcgy at Columbia university.
Professor Boas, fresh from participa-
ton in a scientific survey of Porto
Rico, has just made his report to the
New York Academy of Sciences, which
undertook the investigation.
''The first of our anthropological in
quiries had for it's object the study Of
conditions of growth of the body in a
tropical environment" Professor Boas
says. cit is generally assumed that
heat has the effect of accelerating the
physiological development so that in
warm climates children reach maturity
earlier than in temperate zones. Our
inquiries do not substantiate this view.
The material has not yet been collated,
but from the general character of the
data l venture to say that they will be
of the greatest Importance for prac-
teal measures relating to the hygiene
of childhood and for the management
of schools"

Leprosy in Boston.

A case of leprosy was discovered in
Boston few days ago. This makes
two cases within five weeks. The
latest victim is a sailor, about seventy
two years old. He was born in the
United States and has followed the
sea for many years, having visited
Asiatic ports, where he evidently con-
tracted the disease. 1t is said that
his present illness began about ten
years ago, but that he never before
applied for treatment in Boston. When
he appeared at one Of the local hos
pitfalls the case was recognized and
was reported to the health depart
ment. The other case of leprosy, that
of dishwasher, was not diagnosed for
seven months, though the man was I'M
der treatment much of the time at
the same hospital.

SMALL MAN WINS HIS SPURS
Trenches Make Him Better Fighter
Than the Larger Soldier, 1t Is
Now Said.

"Bantam Corps now is organic
ing in British Columbia. 1t may not
be easy to explain why, but the fact
is that energy and pugnacity seem TO
become intensified as the physicai
bulk diminishes in all animals, lncluo-
ing man. The capacity for enduring
physical hardships generally dlmin-
ishes as the size and weight increase,
so that the idea of a Bantam Corps
is one of the most practical and valu-
able of the suggestions offered IN COZ
nection with recruiting.
Among the many cherished but now
fossil delusions of militarism that nave
been for centuries regarded as axl-
omatic this one of coupling power OF
endurance with size of frame is the
most obstructive of progress. Hun
dreds of thousands of eager recruits
have been rejected because they were
a trifie below the prescribed d1men-
sions, or for slight defects of eyesight
or teeth.
Trench fighting has revolutionlzed
the prevailing ideas about war IN THIS
as in other respects. A small man may
endure the strain of trench work bet
ter than large man, may be a better
sniper, is a less expansive target for
the enemy's bullets and is likely to be
less expensive to maintain. In the
old style of fighting, which was large
ly a matter of charging on foot or on
horseback, weight might tell in favor
of the heavier man, but there is COM
paratively little of that sort OF light
ing now.
