Forest Fire Hazard.
(RutIand Herald.)

With the grass, leaves, brush and
other dry material as intiammabe as it
Is at this time. it behoOves campers and
trampers to exercise the greatest care
with fires, thrown matches and tobacco
embers.
A camp fire not definitely extinguished,
a match Tipped from a ear or on break
ing camp, a cigarette thrown down and
not certainly stamped out-any of these
may very easily start a forest fire that
VIII do many thousand dollars worth of
damage.
The experienced camper rakes out his
hre. blows out his match or brushes il
IN his fingers. smokes a pipe and watches
where he puts the ashes. or if he must
smoke the pesti$erous cigarette, care
fully grinds it into the ground when he
throws it away.
Fire in the woods today, with every
thing like finder, fairly keen breeZes ev-
cry day and forest protection as casual
as 1T must be under the munificent ap-
preparation of the legislature, is a mighty
serious matter. No one can appreciate
what it means until he has seen the fury
OF such fire and taken part in the tre-
mendous effort it means to extinguish
the same.
Vermont has suffered like all more or
less forested states, from careiessly
started and neglected forest fires Today.
the man or boy who starts such fire
not only can have no excuse. but, if de-
tected, ought to be punished with the
utmost penalty under the law.
1t is true that the state maintains a
skeleton organization for fire fighting,
with enough fire wardens to cope with
most emergencies of this kind The
trouble is that most fires are not detected
until they get a very dangerous start.
and the business of notifying the fire
warden never seems to appeal to the ayr
erage man in time to do much good.
The safe plan is not to start fires in
the woods unless you personally see them
carefully stamped out.

EXERCISE FOR CHILDREN

Physical training as conducted in the
average modern school does the pupil
more harm than good. This opinion was
expressed by DR.. Joel Goldthwaite of
Boston. before a meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Medical society.
According to the doctor, who has made
extensive study of the subject, slender,
sensitive children are more common in
our schools today than those who are
sturdy and robust. The physical exercises
in the schools are to blame, he says, be-
cause they partake too much of the ma
ture of those used in training the pro-
fessiOnal athlete, and are ill-suited to the
Trailer endurance of the growing child.
He would substitute education in cor
rect posture, proper breathing and mild
exercise.
The experienced athlete knows that
entertaining is as fatal as under-train-
ing. He avoids the one as sedulously as
the other, trying out various forms of
activity, choosing those whose result is
wholesome development and avoiding
those which deplete his energies. The
processes of childhood, properly, are all
of the building-up nature. The child's
natural activity is great, and if to this
is added unsuitable athletic activity the
result must be depletion. The thin-faced
highly nervous child is the product.
If the schools generally are fostering
such an error as this, the doctors warn
ing is timely and fortunate.

Let's Find Out.
(Rutland News.)


Why-and how-are the prices of
foodstuffs tripled between the farmer
and the city consumer?
| Who gets t.theus difference-and for
what?
What share of this increase is due to
necessary costs of distribution, TO fair
profits by middlemen, and what part
represents useless costs and excessive
profits?
c. 7. Fairfield. former publisher of
the Rutland News, propounds these per-
tinent questions in substance in a letter
published several days ago in this news
paper.
These questions, often raised but never
settled to the satisfaction of either
farmer. consumer or dealer may find
an authoritative answer if the special
congressional commission for agricultural
inquiry, proposed by a concurrent reso-
luton now pending in congress, is APP
proved.
The resolution has been favorably re-
ported by the senate committee on agri-
culture and approved by the rules COM
mittee of the house
Its passage, declares C. S. Barrett,
chairman of the national board of farm
organizations, viii be assured if pro-
ducers and consumers will unite i'm q de-
mand on congress for its passage.
The farmer ought to know why he
only collects about IS cents for every
dollar his products bring when sold to
the ultimate consumer" says Barrett.
On the other hand, the consumer
ought to know why he has to pay on the
average nearly three times as much as
the farmer receives
The creation of this commission would
give some reason to believe the answer
would be found. If the commission be in
earnest and its investigation be thorough,
1T should be able to put its finger on the
persons and institutions that have been
collecting unjustly.
