FORESTS OF FRANCE.
The Problem of Reforestation Which
Confronts the Nation.

Except in the Vosges and the Pyrenees
the forests of France were carefully
guarded preserves. Each big woodland
was a named "foret," each little grove
was designated "bois." The state was
careful that these fragments of wood
land be not destroyed. Humble people
gathered firewood from the. ground, but
the trees were not cut.
Ii has been held by military experts
that the 'forets" and "bois" Of northern
France won the war for democracy. In
the final rush of the Germans toward
Paris, the woodlands were the points Of
vantage which the defenders most stub
bornly held and which the aggressors
most diligently sought 10 capture. Ii
was in the Belleau woods that American
valor first made itself vitality felt as
determining factor in the world war. It
was in the st. Gobain forest that the
Germans made their most determined eff
fort to check the tide of the allies adj
vance, and it was in the great forest of
the Argonne that the German retreat
was most stubbornly contested by the
beaten enemy of civilization.
Now many of the forests Of northern
France are a memory. Where the war
swept. the forests vanished Worse than
this, the French willingly sacrificed the
far greater forests of the Vosges and the
Pyrenees and the great pine groves of
the southern coast Wood was a great
necessity for the winning of the war, and
France gladly accepted the services of
experienced American and Canadian for
esters who comprised special forestry
regiments and whose sole duty was TO
transform French forests into war ma
terial. Though these regiments never
came within range of German bullets,
they did an important work.
Now France is confronted with the
problem of reforestation And she is 90
ing about the work in the characteristic
systematic French manner When il was
question Of war TO be won, the French
gave their lives and fortunes without
question and without repining. Now that
the war has been won, they are display.
ing the same spirit in the work of re-
pairing wars rayages. Whever there was
forest before the war, there is to be a
new forest. The French may be mercuri-
al and effervescent, but when 1t comes TO
matter of the netherlands welfare
there is no more practical people on the
surface of the earth.
On a far vaster scale America raked
her forests for war material. She cut
millions Of the Douglas spruce of the
Northwest, and throughout the country
she selected the walnuts for special use
in aviation. There is as yet no satisfac-
tory indication that the nation ia pre-
pared to remedy the damage Of war.
From French frugality and from
French foresight America may well learn
a lesson. Not only to repair the damages
of war, but also to compensate for the
inroads of American industry America
should have an eye to the future. Where
forests have disappeared new forests
should be planted and reared under the
eye of the government. Conservation is
coming TO be an accepted gospel, but at
present restoration may be sven more
important than conservation. Cleveland

FACTS ABOUT CANCER.
Cancer Is unauestionably in.

Cancer Is undueStlonably IN
creasing throughout the world.
= At the beginning cancer is usu-
ally painless and difficult TO de-
tect.
At its first small growth it can
be safely and easily removed by a
competent surgeon,
Cancer is not a Constitutional,
or blood" disease.
Cancer is not contagious.
Cancer is, practically speaking,
not hereditary.
Every lump in the breast should
be examined by a competent doc
tor.
Persistent abnormal discharge
or bleeding is suspicious.
Sores, cracks, decorations, humps
and ulcers which do not heal, and
warts, moles, or birthmarks which
change in size, color, or appear
ance, may turn into cancer unless
treated and cured.
Probably go per cent of cancers
of the reetum are first regarded as
piles. Insist on thorough med-
cal examination.
Continued irritation in some
form is the usual cause of cancer.
1t rarely results from a sudden in
jury.
A doctor who treats suspi-
cious symptom without making a
thorough examination does not
know his business.

A Silver Grey Fox Farm for Vermont.

Plans are underway to establish sill
yer grey fox breeding farm in Chhten-
den, The site is to be, near Chittenden
dam and those interested in the proposi-
tion include Frederick Barstow, son of
w. s. Barstow, president of the w. S.
Barstow company, who finance the Rut-
land Railway Light and Power company
enterprises. The company, however is
in no way connected with the fur produc-
ing project. An expert who has looked
over the ground considers the surround
ings ideal for breeding the silver grey
reynard, which is phase of the red fox
and likes northern conditions As live
foxes of the type wanted sell at $1,000
to $500 pair and often for larger
hgune, considerable capital will be re-
quired to finance the business, but it is
understood that plans are rapidly ma
turing to raise the necessary money by
selling stock.
Mr. Barstow, jr., and his associates
are endeayoring to secure from the Rut-
land Railway, Light and Power com
pany by purchase tract of about IS
acres of land on the Chittenden road,
about mile south of the dam. This is
largely pasture land If the transfer is
made, and it is understood that the di-
rectors are inclined to favor the sale,
an expert from Long Island will come
to Rutland and suggest proper fencing
methods and other steps towards start
ing the farm.

DISCOVERS ANOTHER COMET.
Rev. Joel II. Metcalf Finds Second New
One in Three Days at South Hero.

South Hero, Aug. %. Discovery Of
second new comet in three days by Rev.
Joel H. Metcalf was announced Monday
by the Harvard college observatory. Aft
er picking up the first, on Aug. 20, Mr..
Metcalf reported that on the night Of
Aug % at II O'Clock, he found in Bootes
constellation another uncharted body,
more conspicuous than the first. He said
it could be seen with small telescope.
Verifcation of Mr.. Metcaf's latest find
came in an announcement from Paris of
the independent discovery of the same
body by H. Morielly Of Marseilles the
night after Mr.. Metcalf found it.
The two discoveries were both made
at South Hero, where Mr.. Metcalf is
spending vacation.
This is the sixth comet which the for
mer Burlington pastor has to his credit.
