While endeavoring to recover from
the ravages Of war the forests of
France are also struggling from the
rayages of parasitic growths which
seem to be especially disastrous to the
oaks. These are the country's most
valuable tree, constituting nearly 80
per cent of the forest area This tree
seems to suffer especially from the fun
gus Oidium, which appeared in the
province Of Champagne about 1907,
and is doing such damage that the ex-
termination Of the oak in France Is
foreseen. Young trees-particularly
coppice shoots Of the current year
are most susceptible to attack, though
seedlings up to ten years Of age have
been destroyed. No remedy has yet
been discovered.

SALVATION ARMY CHRISTMAS

Picture Christmas to children with
NONE of the joys which the world at
large is accustomed to associate with
this holiday season.

So much a Yuletide institution has

become, that in many cities the citi-
zens begin to look and ask for Santa
Claus Chimneys and Kettles to be set
up on the corners when Christmas
shopping starts in earnest.
This voluntary donation of the pass
erby is the only street solicitation
made by the Army during the year,
and the funds thus collected go into
buying the food for family baskets and
toys for the children
II you ever packed one Thanksgiving
or Christmas basket for a poor family
you can appreciate the spirit of love
that superintends the packing of the
thousands that go out from The Saliva
ton Army each year to the needy
1t is to the needy that they are sent,
for when name is sent in or a person
applies for a Christmas basket, a Sal

hat home and makes report on the

History relates that Croesus was
given entertainment on one occasion
by a Lydian named Pythius supposed
to have been a distant relative Of
Croesus. During the entertainment
Pythius informed the king that when
he heard Of his approach he had made
careful count of all his ready money
that he had on hand in gold and sill
yer, $24,OOO,OO0, and that he wished
to present 1t to the king as a token
of regard.
The king hesitated about taking his
money lest Pythius might be reduced
to want, but Pythius replied: MY
lands, estates, slaves and income-bear
ing property are still untouched"
This sum Of money was simply cash
on hand which he had not yet invest
ed. At the rate Of 10 to in modern
purchasing power, Pythius had ready
money eQualing $240,OO0,000.

The study OF anatomy is indispensable part OF
the preparation Of physician for his life work and
knowledge Of it is good for other people.
Every medical student. bordering his Gray's
ANATOMY is told that really learns that
massive text book until ne has forgotten it three
times. As a further crumb Of comfort he Is inform
that Gray himself failed on his first examination
in anatomy AS a means of knowing anatomy the
dssecting room is a recognized adjunct TO the work
OF the class
1t is said that the average medical student, when
he once gets fairly into his anatomical work be-
comes incapable of meeting and conversingN with any
human being without thinking. while he talks how
this particular person would cut up. That is the
sort Of mild obsession which the same student
undergoes when he thinks himself possessed of all
the diseases which he studies about.
That stage of learning passes And that is for
tunate Long before a medical student becomes
physician he is able to meet his friends without
mentally saving their bones hacking into
tissues. But medical students not the only peo-
pie who thus apprase humanity is easy to think
OF men in terms Of the tons of coal they can mine
cubic yards Of earth they remove, or other
wise as economic units.
1t IL indeed necessary that there should be men
who are hewers of wood and drawers Of water and
it is proper that they should times considered
in their relation to the they are capable OF
performing But human life is than material
for dissection. II is than so much muscular
energy applied to gainful pursuits.
The first and final estimate of and women,
and of all things relating human life, is in
not OF economic production, but of Joy pain, of
hope despair. of development or DETACHMENT Of

THEY WHO ARE AFRAID TO

They who are afraid to fail,
Never venture very far
Fear hurricane or gale
Keeps them safely where they are
Timidly their lives are passed
Dreaming dreams which quickly
die.
Answering glory to the last
With terror stricken cry.
Glory crowns the pioneer,
Fame rewards the man OF might.
And in time the throngs will cheer
Men who venture for the right
But the timid only see
Dreadful dangers that assail,
And they question fearfully:
What if We should chance to
fail?
I'VE might have to start anew.
We might lose what now we own.
Here we know what we can do,
44AEAE LlAI udASN4o d4E uuhuOWns
Glory would be sweet TO win.
But the bonds OF failure chafe.
There are pits to tumble in,
Here We know that we are safe"
Boy Of mine. IN safety lies
Only what is commonplace:
They alone 10 splendors rise
Who meet failure face TO face.
Ask from life no guarantee
That you shall not suffer pain
Risk the loss. whate'er It be,
For the Joy you hope TO gain.
Be you brave enough 10 try
For the goal your heart desires.
Keep your hopes still mounting high
Even though your body tires;
Fall and rise once more to dare
Fortunes battlements TO scale
What though failure waits you
there?
Never be afraid 10 fail.
