Since the announcement. that the

un;mproved lots, including those be-

southwest part Of town. tense situa-
ton has developed out there, for those
lots have already been assigned SO
MANY times that the owners are in
distress to determine priority Of
claims.
About half Of the lots now have
gardens growing on them. The others
have been assigned, and several are
IN dispute. At first thinking that there
would be small demand, the owners
gave people living in that vicinity per-
mission to promise lots to their neigh

themselves, and suddenly discovered
that more promises were out than lots,
and now comes the threat that the
garden director intends to seize
them. Mundy & Scott today say that
the garden director is welcome to the
lots. if he will assume the prior liens
as liabilities and give bond to satisfy
all the gardeners. Mundy & Scott are

through hog cholera, tuberculosis, and
the infeStation Of the animals, especial

says: Fear confirms your weakness

worrying over your past mistakes you
open the way for more. You bring to
YOU the very experiences YOU desire

They arc fed and kept alive by the at

them large place in your conscious
ness and they begin to assume large
influence upon your life--n much larg-
cr influence than they deserve.
If YOU will turn your thoughts away
from these shortcomings, stop trying
to judge yourself too exclusively by in
tcllect alone, open wide the door to
faith and hope and love and courage
and confidence, fix your attention on

How French Forests Are DepIe


France is beginning to figure out
how to meet IN anticipated shoStage of
lumber and firewood after the war.
The destruction Of forests by shell
fire and the heavy demand for lumber
for barracks and rond construction
combine to make deficit OF 100000
cubic feet annually.
Beyond the range Of shells, on both
aides Of the front, the military woods
mems axes have drawn heavily on tim
hers, from the North sea to the Swiss
frontier. The consumption Of lumber
will increase during the war at the
rate Of 100000 cubic feet a year,
and for several years after peace is
made the demand will continue for
the repair and rebuilding OF devastated
regions.
The solution Of the problem is con
sidered to be question Of transporta-
tion and Of forest exploitation in the
colonies. Specialists have calculated
that French equatorial and western
Africa, Madagascar, Guinea and Indo-
China possess $4,000 square miles Of
virgin timber land, which could amply
supply France and several other coun-
tries with fuel and lumber.
Stock companies. organized for
the exploitation of these resources are
already engaged in road making and
other necessary preliminary work.

Pigs Kept Under Sanitary Conditions

tween the two diseases can only be
made by the most careful bactesioog-
fcal tests, and by employing the assist
ance olcrcd by fully equipped lab
oratory. However, sanitary preventive
methods which are found beneficial
with one Of these diseases will prove
equally cfiicaclous with the other.
Ihcre are q few fundamental facts
which the breeder must remember If
he Is to avoid losses through hog chol-
era or swine plague. The first is that
they are specific diseases caused by
germs, and the contagion cannot be
spread from one animal to another or
from one herd to smother except
through the agency of these minute or
gansms. They may be carried in a
multitude of ways-by the hogs them
selves. on the clothing Of persons, on
vehicles, In feed by birds, dogs, and
other animals, or by streams. The
breeding or feed Of Il hog cannot cause
either disease, although bad methods
may so weaken the constitution and vi.
! tally that the animal becomes more
susceptible to them than would other
wise he the case. Since these diseases
can only arise from the presence of
their specific causntlve agents, 1t can
readily be seen that dcntltiton and the
presence of supernumerary teeth or
black tusks cannot, as has been sug.
gested by many, play any part in their
development. A second fact to be borne
