Is Your Home Protected :?

This matter Of lightning rods should
be personal one with you.
Is yoar home protectedl $
If not, can you afford to take the
chances of its destruction1
You may have been spared up to
this time, but give it a moments
thought and see whether it has not
been through your good fortune rather
than through your good management.
You have no assurance that light
ming will continue to spare you.
1t has visited your neighbors. Your
turn may come next. If it should
visit your home, it means certain de-
struction Of property. 1t may mean
sudden death to you or to some men,
Der Of your family.
You cannot shift the responsibility.
1t is a matter for you to decide.
Face the issue squarely, and ask your
self the question whether you are
playing the part Of the prudent man
in neglecting to guard your home and
dear ones from the lightning stroke
which may come at any time.
You have the highest assurances

Cleaning Up Bagdad.

Paved streets, electric street lights,
municipal sprinkling carts, modern
fire department; these are all in old
Bagdad now. Or, rather, they are in
new Bagdad, for the slumberous city on
the Tigris has assumed new aspect
since the British drove out the Turks
sixteen months ago. Nothing now re.
mains of the filth and squalor of the
Turkish regime. The place Is still
Oriental, but the Oriental atmosphere is
less odoriferous. Dead cats are not lef,
to decompOse In the middle of the mar.
row streets.
England has wonderful Ny of leav'
ing Orientalism unspoiled while making
it reasonably clean. The British soldier
cannot abide filth. His sanitary squads
penetrate the remotest news and the
most deeply hidden cesspools, and the
news and cesspools cease to offend. The
natives soon discover that cleanliness Is
not q horror. The Arab Is not natural
ly vile, but he has fallen into the ways
of his Turkish masters.
Bsgdad Is as interesting as ever, and
ever so much safer. After the war
many British tourists will visit the
ancient Abbasside capital where ruled
the mighty Caliphs, and will note with
interest the British benefits bestowed on
the city that Wilhelm und Gott once
picked as the far goalpost of Nit

tenn Of lightning rods does give pro-
lection.
1t is a reasonable system. The
demonstrations put its effectiveness
beyond question.
The position that the insurance
companies have taken in the matter
should have great weight with you. s
Their interests, are to preserve
property. They have no personal in
terests in Dodd & Struthers.
Your interests are the same. You
want to preserve your property-and
your life and the lives Of your family.
The insurance companies are en-
couraging you to protect your prop
erty. ~
But they cannot force you to act.
It is 2 question for you and a question
Of NOW.
After awhile may be too late.
Will you answer the question to
your own best interests.
Then if in doubt telephone to A.

ton, and estimate on your buildings.

New BasteenS flaaiosal Hoessts.
President Wilson not long ago Issued
. proclamation establishing three new
National Forests In the East,-the White
Mountain, In Maine and New Hampshire,
the Shepandoah, In Virginia and Wess
Virginia, and the Natural Bridge, IN
Virginia.
Proolaiming the Forests Is tho anal
step In carrying out the Law for building
mp eastern National Forests through the
purchase of lands In the mountains.
Ever since tho law wssa passed in 1911
the Government has been engaged In 60
curing lands about the headwaters OF
principal rivers, both In New England
and In the Southern Appalachians. As
the lands are bought or contracted for
they are put under rehabilitation -
s'Purchase Areas" pending the time
when their accumulation has reached .
point justifyipg the proclamation which
gives the land their anal ststus. The
Pisgah National Forest, In North Caro-
lins, and the Alabama National Forest,
in Alabama, are the only eastern areas
which had received this status before
the new proclamstions were issued.
The White Mountain National Forest
is located in Grafton, Carroll, and Coos
counties, N. a., and Oxford County,
Ne. The Government has actually
taken title to about 267 900 acres and In
addition about $4,000 acres more have
been approved for purchase, making Q
total OF about 891, 900 acres under FEEDER
al protection. This forest protects In
part the watersheds OF the Androscog-
gin, Saco, Come ,ticut and Ammonoosuc
rivers. The White Mountain region,
long famous as one of the most impor-
tant recreation grounds of the Nation and
located al It Is In close proximity to the
most depsely populated portion OF the
country, bas great value not only for the
protection of streamflow and the pro-
ductIou of timber but also as public
playground and is administered with q
view to it's use for all three purposes.
The Shenandoah National Forest is
situated in Rockingham, Augusta, Bath
and Highland counties, Va, and Pendle-
ton County, W. Va. The Government
has acquired to date slightly In excess Of
100 600 acres, and an addionsl. area OF
approximately 65, 900 acres has been ap'
proved for purchase, making total OF
approximately 1875, 900 acres under Fed
eral protection. The Forest is for the
most part on the watershed OF the
Shenandoah River and It also protects q
portion of the watersheds of the Potomac
and the James. On the area and still In
tact are trench systems constructed dur
ing the Civil war under the direct super.
vision of Stonewall Jackson.
The Natural Bridge National Forest is
situated in Rockingham, Nelson, Am.
herst, Botetourt, and Bedford counties,
Va. The Federal Government has
actually acquired title to little over
Is 900 acres, and an additional area OF
approximately $4,000 acres has been ap-
proved for purchase. The Forest,
which protects portion of the water
shed of the James River, does not in.
clude the Natural Bridge, but this scenic
feature is within three or four miles OF
the boundary. 1t is expected that visit.
ors to the region will take advantage Of
the opportunities which the Forest af.
fords for recreation and outdoor life IN
