CURRENT COMMENT
Vermont Forests.

The Reformer publishes in this issue
statement on the forest situation in
Vermont by the state forester that
should receive the attention of all Yer
monters 1t is reassuring to know that
the timber supply of the state is not
being over cut, or that the immense
amount of 100000 900 board feet and
100000 cords of timber are grown in
the state each year This growth is
made on approximately 100000 acres
of land and shows growth of 100
board feet and ne-half cord per acre.
The statement that this growth is
only % per cent as large as it should
be shows the opportunity for develop
ing timber growth on the best timber
lands of the state. These lands are
largely owned by lumbermen and they
should develop the timber thereon. To
make the timber growth and harvest Of
the state four times as large as il now
is would greatly increase the annual
production of wealth in the state. APP
psrently the lumbermen of the state
should in their own interests improve
the growth Of timber on the good tim
Der lands of the state
The state forester shows the folly Of
removing sugar naples from land that
will not produce merchandise timber
and his warning should be Needed His
statement also shows there is about a
million acres of nonproductive land in
the state that might be proftably
planted to timber trees.
The forester's statement presents to
the people of Vermont the opportunity
OF developing the wealth and industry
of the state in a practical and mex
pensive way II remains to be seen
how generally they will accept the op.
portunity and begin the construction
OF bigger and better lumber industry.

The jingoists in Japan are seem.
ingly in the ascendancy, judging by
the belligerent attitude alleged to have
been taken by the government with
reference to Japanese exclusion legis.
lation In California. The assumption
of such an attitude is poor psychology
on the part of the Japanese because
they ought to know that threats,
yelled or open, will have no effect on
the United States government or any
component part of the United States.
The United States reserves to itself
the right TO determine what people
shall be admitted, albeit, there may
be some question about the propriety
of states taking drastic action along
that line.

just as much entitled to protection. A
better remedy, perhaps, would be to
place the power of selection of deposit
tories for state funds in the hands of
commission rather than in the hands
of single person, as has been the
case in Massachusetts, recently. A
commission of three or five men could
be relied upon to make a more salts
factory selection than one man who
happened to be vitality interested or
who was BIASED in his views. The
depositing power should not be vested
in one man. Remedying of that evil
would tend to do away with improper
placement of state funds.

PATIENT A SUICIDE.
Patrick o'Brien Threw Himself Into
the Water at Brattleboro.

Brattleboro, Sept. 24.--Seized with q
sudden impulse TO throw himself into
| the water, Patrick O'Brien, patient
at the Brattleboro retreat, ran away
| from his attendant on the retreat farm
yesterday and dashed into the overflow
| from the Connecticut and West rivers
on the retreat meadow and lost his
life by drowning.
O'Brien was resident of North
Walpole, n H., and came to the re-
treat about two weeks ago, suffering
from melancholia with suicidal ten
denotes. He had not been at all vio-
lent since coming here and had been
past the meadow several times with an
attendant.
Yesterday he enjoyed smoke and
asked to take a walk, so he and an
attendant and two other patients went
north on Linden street. On reaching
/ the farm O'Brien suddenly made a
break for the water, followed by the
attendant. The latter could not swim,
but he followed the patient as far out
in the water as he could He was I'M
able to overtake OBrien, who began
swimming under water.
Numerous people gathered around
and tried to locate O'Brien in the
weeds and underground. They used a
boat, but were unable to find him for
some time. When taken out of the
water he apparently was dead, but the
institution secured a pulmotor from
the Twin State Gas & Electric Co. and
tried artificial respiration, but without
success.
OBrien was So years old. He leaves
a sister in North Walpole.

BOUNTY ON RATS.
France Is Determined to Get Rid of
the Rodents

Paris, Sept. 24.-War to a finish has
been declared against the rat by the
hygiene commission of Paris The com
mission was aghast to learn from a
report read to it by Prof. Bordas, that
there were 100000 rats in the city.
The determination of the rats is to
be accomplished by all the weapons
known in rat warfare, and the cam
paign will be both offensive and defen-
sive The offensive weapons are the
following:
Use of bacterial products or deadly
microbes likely to cause epidemics
among the rats, poisons, asphyxiating
gases in the sewers for several hours
at time repeated at intervals and
traps,
In this connection Prof. Bordas
warns rat trappers not to smoke before
setting traps as the rat holds tobacco
in adherence. A premium of two sous
is to be paid for each rat killed by
hunters.
The defensive campaign will be con.
Quoted by rat proofing houses and by
setting the garbage cans on the side
walks only a few minutes previous to
the arrival of the garbage automobiles,
so that rats cannot feed on their con-
tents over night.
Many pessimistic voices were heard
in the hygiene commission as to the
chances of success in Kidding Paris of
the rat nuisance, especially after Prof.
Bordas had explained that the Paris
rat could boast OF a family tree dat
ing back to the early centuries of the
Christian era, having emigTated -
France from the near east with $e
early crusaders.
Such arstocrats are bound to put
up stiff fight for their privileges,
said houmorous member of the COM
mission.

its passing into law would in some de
gree give recognition to that church

ligious significance.

NEW INCENTIVE
TO BRING BACK
v. |. STRICKLAND

A reward OF 5000, offered by Pinel-
las county and reward Of $3.50 Of
lered by the state, are expected to
furnish new incentive to bring back
10 this county for trial W. l.. Strick-
land formerly deputy sheriff who Is
missing. The county commissioners
and Gov. Cats today are officially
advertising that the rewards mer-
toned will be paid to those who SO
cure the arres. and conviction of
strickland. It is hoped that the
money will cause private detectives
or citizens to 60 after the missing
man who is accused of embezzlement
OF county funds and the theft Of jew
elry from a couple who were as
phyxiated here lastwinter.
Citizens here had previously raised
a fund Of $500 to be paid to the per-
son or persons who arrested and con-
Ucted Strickland and this reward still
stands, so that to get Strickland Is
worth $3.50. County authorities have
rot yet arrested Strickland though
he was indicted early in February on
two charges. = st, Petersburg indie

The disease travels very rapidly,
leaving the liver, kidneys and intes-

sufficient nerve power to combat the
ailment.
Statistics show that this ailment is
far more prevalent than the average
individual would suppose. It Is sim.
ply self-destruction to let this trou-
BILE sap. your. health. and. comfort
away. It wears its victim down until
he becomes weaker as the disease
gathers force, nourishing itself on thu
victims very life blood. 1t is more
than probable that there is at least
one member in every family who "a
affected in this way, and these are the
people whom I want to know about
the new root and herb remedy, Dreco,
which is without a peer for diseases
arising from stomach disorders, de-
clared the Derco representative re-
Gently.
"My wife has certainly been helped
by taking Dreco, declared Mr.. Hor-
ace l.. Clayton Of Chattanooga,
Tenn, who is in Florida for his
wife's health. Her stomach seemed
to be full of hot gurgling water
which would belch up sour and burn
like fire. Her bowels were consti-
pated and she often had splitting
headaches. Dreco put stop to al!
her troubles, and she is as well to-
day as ever in her life"
All good druggists now sell Dreco
