CHRISTMAS TREE HISTORY ISSUED BY
 FOREST SERVICE
Interesting Data Prepared from Early Times
 to Present

Historians point out that the love of trees and the custom of bringing green boughs into the house is an ancient one. The Christmas tree is a vestige of the sun-god religions when trees were associated with .sacredness. Long before the Christi mas Era, people of Egypt were cele- brating the shortest day of the year by bringing green date palms into their houses as a symbol of life triumphant over death When the Romans observed the feast of Sa- turn, they raised aloft a bough of evergreen. Greece and Scandinavia held the fire tree in reverence. In Druid lore, green boughs in the house meant eternal life; in Morse mythology they symbolized the re- vival of Balder, the sun god. In rustic superstition evergreen branch es above the door kept out witches, ghosts, evil spirits.
 Although early Christian churches drowned upon such pagan IancleS, ceremonial use of trees did not die. Since the era of Christianity the Christmas tree has become a symbol of hope. life, and merriment The custom of lighting and decorating the tree came from Germany Hes sian soldiers in the time of the Am erican Revolution are credited with introducing trimmed trees into the United States Only in compara- lively recent times, during the past century or so, has the idea spread to other countries.
 The decorated Christmas tree has become an integral part of the Christmas celebration in the Amer ican home. Half a century ago trees were trimmed largely with red ap- pies and strings of popcorn. Today, a vast industry supplies factory made ornaments.

 Species Used

Practically all evergreens are used as Christmas trees. Most popular are the frs and spruces, next the pines and cedars. Accessibility is usually the deciding factor in the choice of one over another.
 The Eastern States strongly favor balsam fir. The balsam has a beau- tiful pyramidal shape, and the fairly rigid branches are well adapted to supporting light, decorative tinsel, ornaments, etc. Also in a warm room it retains the lustrous dark green needles longer than most other spec ias. Again, the balsam emits a characteristic fragrant odor nob found in other conifers.
 Tradition has it that the Lord sent his three messengers, Faith, Hope and Love, to seek a tree as high as Faith as eternal as Hope, and as widespread as Love, and which bore the sign of the cross on every bough. They chose the balsam fir.
 The Pacific Coast uses principally the Douglas fir as Christmas tree. In Alaska the most widely used species are logepole pine, west ern henlock and Sitka spruce.
 Preserving Tree
 Christmas trees when cut even tually lose their moisture and con- seuently their needles. Moisture loss, however, can be retarded by waxing the butts or by placing them in water, and by keeping the trees in a cool, damp storage place.
 One home method of preserving the Christmas tree fragrant and green for the holiday season is to set the tree in a wide mouth bottle or crock that holds about gallon of water Mix 5 grams of citric acid and 6 grams of malic acid or pectin in quarts of water When the tree is set up in the crock and supported with small wires or other suitable supports add Is grams of calcium carbonate to the acid solu- ton and pour the whole solution into the crock. As the tree uses up the solution add water.
 These chemicals are inexpensive and this formula should serve the purpose for most species used as Christmas trees. Hemlock, however

A COLD CATCHES ONE IF
HE is NOT UP TO MARK
1t Is Important to Keep AS Phys
ically Fit AS Possible

Prefacing some seasonable advice
on common sense ways of avoiding
colds, with the remark that it is a
mistake to say you catch a cold, DR..
R. H. Riley, director of the State De-
partment of Health, added GAS mat
ter of fact the cold catches you when
you are not up to The mark, physical
ly. Therefore:
1. Keep yourself as physically fit as
possible. Eat nourishing food. Have
your meals at regular times. Avoid
rich, indigestible combinations. In
clude plenty of milk, other dairy pro-
ducts and fruit in your diet. Remem-
Der to drink plenty of water-several
glasses during the day, every day.
2. Dress according to the weather.
Add a sweater to your outfit, or a
heavy coat when the frosty days come.
Avoid sudden chilling. Don't expose
yourself unnecessarily to draughts
Don't sit around in wet clothing. If
you are caught in a drepching down
pour, change to dry clothing, includ-
ing shoes and stockings, as soon as
possible.
8. Take some outdoor exercise every
day. Be out in the sunlight as much
as possible. If you have job that
keeps you indoors most of the day,
you will find it pays to spend few
minutes two or three times q day, at
an open window, flushing your breath
ing apparatus with fresh air. Hold
your head up, and learn to breathe
deeply.
4. Get plenty of sleep. Have good
time, but don't have it too strenuously
Strike a balance between work and
play. Don't fool yourself into think
ing you can play around at all hours
of the day or night, day after day;
snatch few hours sleep, and be en-
tirely fit, physically, and ready fol
your profession, your job, or fol
school, or household duties, wher
morning comes.
5. Colds are spread by the dis
charges from the nose and throat
Every time the victim of cold has q
coughing spell, germladen droplets OF
mucus are brought to the surface and
spread around. Every sneeze throws
germ-laden spray into the air. Avoic
these hazards. Don't mingle unne'
cessarily with persons who have colds
You can show your sympathy in other
ways.
6. The careless cougher or sneezei
sprays his germs all around the place
and leaves them on everything hi
touches. Don't use common drink,
ing cup. Have your own towel ant
wash cloth. Always wash your hands
before eating.
7. If you happen to be Overtaken by
a cold, show as much consideration
for your neighbor as you would like
him to show to you. Don't be trans
mitter. Don't broadcast your germs
Sneeze or cough into your handker-
. chief. Use paper handlserchiefs that
can be burned or otherwise disposed
of. The quickest way to get rid Of
a cold is to go to bed; eat very lightly
and drink plenty of water. At the first
indication of fever send for your doe
tor, and then follow his advice"

Protestant church leaders, represent
ing twenty-one denominations throughout
the country, recently conferred with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, urging him to collaborate
with other States to convene world con-
ference to ID remove the cause of war,
(2l facilitate economic intercourse between
nations. CD to build agencies to maintain
order and promote peaceful change, and
(4l to reduce and limit ornaments.
In general, the people of the United
States are in thorough accord with the posi-
ton of the church leaders and would be
very glad to see some successful effort to
accomplish the detectives mentioned. How
ever, it ought to be apparent to everyone
that unless certain nations in the world are
willing to change their stated attitudes,
there is no chance whatever of any sue
cesSful conference.
OF course, the United States can do
nothing by itself to promote either of the
detectives mentioned. Every one requires
the cooperation of other powers. When it
is perfectly plain that this cooperation is
impossible. there would seem to be little
sense in initiating negotiations.
