WASHINGTON', Sept. 22.-Ifurcrt Civritiurit station will soon be c laMMicd in a iuidiIht of the National Foret htiiu- of th Vcl according to pliiiH which have jut Wen om olctrd' by the United State Forest Service. These new (atioii arc e j tx'Cted In do the name for the lf- vcliipint'iit of American forcits us ntf riuiltural rxprrimciit nation have (lone for the Improvement ff the country's farm. A a firm trp in tliU work ait ex prriiuont Million hat already bent e I;ili1iticd on the Coconino National Forot in the Stitli-rt. with head quarter at I'laiftnfT, Arizona. Sta tion in other National Forest will be entablithed later, and it is the in tention ultimately to have nt least one experiment Mation in each of the nil vicult lira! region of the Wcit. One of the mont important parts of the work of the new experiment Ma tions will be the maintenance of mo del forest typical of the region. These area will furnish the limit val uable and instructive object lessons for ihe public in general, for profes- - sional foresters, lumbermen, and own er of forest land, and especially to the technical and administrative of ficers of the National Forests. In the recently established , station on the Coconino National Forest one of the first problems to be taken up will be the study of the reproduction of western yellow pine and the couses of its Mtcccs and failure. A solution of this problem of how to obtain sat isfactory reproduction of t lie yellow pine is of the greatest practical im prtauce to the South-west, since the jellow pine, which is by far the most valuable tree there is in. many cases not foriniiig a satisfactory second growth. The study will be carried on largely by means of sample plots, which will be laid out for future ob servation to determine the effects of graxmKi of the different methods of cmiiiiK and disposing of the brush, and other factors on the success of i reproduction. t;licr studies which will be taken up soon are a study of the light re quirements (jf different species at dif ferent altitudes and the construction of a scale of tolerance which will be based on the actual measurements of the light intensity, and not only, as has hitherto been the case, on gener- OTITin ro 0 HI U al observations alone; the taking of meteorological observations to deter mine the effect of the forest upoi' temperature, humidity, melting of snow, wind velocity, etc.! a study of the relative value of the germinating power of seeds from trees of differ ent si.es, ages, and degrees of health; and similar studies of value to the re gion. A complete collection of fhe flora of the forest will be made to form a herbarium, which will be kept on the forest and will be available for reference at any time. The stations will carry on scientific experiments and studies which will lead to a full and exact knowledge of American silviculture, and the indi rect benefits of the forests will deal particularly with those problems of particular inportance to the regions in which they are located. While work of this character is new in this country, it is not without pre cedent abroad. The value of the sys tematic organization for forest re search work was officially recognized in Germany in WO, when th fir-t West experiment, statio,. was estab lished in D.'Hcn, in connection with the Tolytccknikum at Carlsruhe. Half a dozen of the German states follow ed the example, instituting main ex periment stations in connection with . forest schools, and branches in var ious forest districts. The work dmie is intensely scientific, and the policy of forest experiment stations is stead ily growing in favor, , , - r J ii India, where after half a cen tury of administration the state of the forest is hardly better than in the United States at present, the work at research has been almost wholly ne glected, and the result Is apparent in the poor progresj of technical forest ry. Very lately, however, the need, has been recognized by the govern nit'iit, and an Imperial Forest Re serve Institute and College has been created at Dt-linra I'un, with a facul ty chosen from the Imperial Foret Service. In the United State considerable research work has already been done in connection with forest problems, but the chief trouble so far ha been the lack of pcrsistance and perm'" nence which has characterized the work, and failure frequently to con sider all the factor which arc involv ed. The new system provides for the permanent assignment in a given re gion of specially trained men who will have an opportunity to become thoroughly familiar with their region, and the work will tliun be conducted with the greatest effectiveness and leant expense. The work will be not only scientific in character, but will also be ex tremely practical, and will aim in every case .i solve problems of most importance to the lumberman , the orester, and the people a a whole. Valuable results will undoubtedly be obtained in this way which were not possible under the old system of gen eral observation. Not 80 Funny After All. .

That Painful Affliction Keeps Other Miseries Out of the System and I a Promoter of Long Life Blessings of Colds and Smallpox. To be struck down by disease seems A most undesirable thing, yet there are many Uvlng today In t&e fullest en joyment of very excellent health who but for an attack of some disease would have lived a life of almost per petual misery. These people were, first of all, vic tims of Indigestion In It worst form, and only those who havo experienced It know what true indigestion is. Btruek down by typhoid fever, they came through the trying ordeal cured of Indigestion, for one outstanding ec centricity of typhoid la !Mt if you pass through an attack safely It gives you a new stomach. In fact, after an attack of typhoid the victim is usually left with a stomach like an infant. That Is the grand chance offered to one who has suffered, it may be, for long years from acute Indigestion. If only ho takes care, after an attack of typhoid ho need never know indiges tion again. lie It nmieinlxired that any one trou bled with severe Indigestion Is not ad vised o go hunting around for typhoid fever. That might prove to !m a disas trous course to follow. A chronic rold Is Just ono of those things which none of us want, yet even a chronic cold has Its good point, more tupeoiully If you happen to be up In years a bit not too old, of course. People who are up in years and who suffer from chronic bronchitis seem to get remarkably well. It keeps the blood in good circulation, for. of course, the victim have !: rough, and that gives tho heart n Jerk nml semis the blood coursing nicety thr.-ytgh the veins and arteries. If the cold lie not too acute, otd peo ple derive considerable benefit. An acute attack, on the other baud, vnny cut off an old person In a day or two. It Is the chronic type only which yields beueflt. Smallpox is a dreaded scourge, so much so that If it be reported that a esse exists In a neighborhood a thrill passes through the whole community. Yet those who suffer from smallpox and recover usually live to a green old see. It teems to renew life in some mysterious way by thoroughly purify ing tho blood. If, however, you desire to attain to a ripe old age, you cannot get on at all without rhcumatlom. Consider the hosts of old folks you encounter hob bling atiout, grumbling all the day about their bones and Joint. In all probability these old people would have been In their graves years be fore but for this very rheumatism. Tho reason is that if rheumatism Is In tho system It keeps other Ills out It makes a grand fighting force and keep most other enemies of the hu man frame nt bay, especially those of the germ type. Very naturally If you have such a grand friend at band you have to pay something for aid rendered, but the pnln of rheumatism, If shockingly se vere at times. Is not deadly, nnd thnt Is why one gets so little sympathy when suffering from rheumatism. Hut tho plain fact Is that a slight malady always benefits yon, even If indirectly. As an example of that, say n very bad spell of weather comes along, cold and wet. nnd you contract a slight chill. What do you propose to do? Why. to take the greatest care of yourself nnd make ns certain as possible thnt your cold gets uo chance of develop ing Into anything worse. Now. did Hint very slight cold not mnko Its ap pearance and cause you to be ex tremely careful of what you did there Is no saying what might happen to you any day during a spell of evil, cold weather. You might have exposed yourself bo much that a severe chill would have seised you. followed by Inibimmittion of the lungs.
