BE CAREFUL ABoSt THAT FIREP FOREST fires nre beginning to Appear as daily items. The great est tragedy nature faces is the forest fire. Many of them are unavoWable ami spontaneous ; hut many are (bie to the careless ness of heedless folk. The picnic season is beginning and it is a good time to make a hearty resolution that nature suffer nothing from your fault tlys summer. Fire, whether in a city or at sea or in the forest, s a very terrir hie thing, annihilating in its progress, nftst difficult to control. It sets no bounds to its destruction other than the consuming of everything its flaipes can feed on. A match thrown to the ground can begin it; a cigarette stub or pipe plug can do it; an uncovered camp fire often does it. For years there has been a steady campaign educating the American people in the preservation of their woods and forests. Still there are fires, for the hardest thing in the world to teach the human race is self-protection and the most difficult defect of char acter to remedy is carelessness. Those who enjoy nature should be the first to care for her and the last to destroy her.

RipplingfihijrriQS 'wait REALISM. TN NORTHERN Kurope writers toil to show how peasants live and die; their books are often fragrant of the soil, and of tho barnyaril and the sty. A wrinkled woman with n hoe wades slowly through some chapters ninie, and, all she talks about is woe and griefs that don't take in their sign. The wrinkled crone has seven sons, tall men wil;h sandburs in their hair, and they are always packing tons of fhitilo burdens here and there. And everything they do is vain, no harvests follow when they sow, their mules are mired down ln the lane, their cows go dry, tin 'ir pigs won't grow. Their livt's don't know a lighter side, disaster frustrates all they do; n man may marry, but his bride turns out next day to be a shrewl A girl may marry, but the gent who loads her to the village kirk, soon shows ho cannot make a cent, although his life is nnade of work. And so, these dreary people trail through turgid pages sad and gray; the only thing they do is fail and do it iji a dismal way. There is lio humor in fliesc books, ami if yoti take one in your hand, and read it in such inglenooks as yon may have at your command, you will not have a sprightly boor, unless you gloat o'er fruit less lives, exult in sorrow stark ml dour that haunts the peas ants and their wives.

Krroiicoiis Ideas The usual conception of insanity is a manifestation in language or con duct of disease or defect of the brain. liut the law draws a sharp line be tween sanity and insanity, thus: (1) A criminal is Insane if he does not know the nature and quality of his act or if, knowing .the nuturo and qual ity of his act, ho dues YMgftjffL. 1-r t-ih'ht or wrong. Ajm, :JrVr (2) A testator is f rX insane If his mind. memory or under standing Is unsound. (3) In a lunacy examination, made by a commission of physicians expert in that line appointed by a court of record on application of a relative or other person directly concerned. the individual is insane if he Is inca pable of managing himself, and his af fairs. These points of dfferencft be- j tween the common idea of insanity and the interpretation of insanity. in law should be known to everybody. A purely medical Interpretation of insanity permits no such clear divid ing line between sanity and insanity. Medically a great many persons who are sane by these legal tests are as certainly insane by the test of common sense. It is not at all unusual for a paranoiac to win his freedom from nsylum prison by convincing a court of his sound judgment and intellectual integrity. The legal definition of in sanity fails to compass monomania delusion upon one subject. This per mits some very dangeiuUn persona to remain at large. People generally havo only vague, and usually erroneous notions about tho causes of Insanity. Some of the wrong notions are in themselves harm ful. In another talk, to avoid confu sion, we'll consider the true cause of insanity. Here I am going to men tion only some erronebus idens people have about the causation of insanity. (1 ). Pxcessive smoking, particu- ; larly cignretes. is perhaps a common (stigma or sign or symptom of a de fective brain, for everybody knows j that morons aro the chief offenders 'in this respect, but there is no reason to Imagine that it is a cause of in sanity. 1(2). Indulgence in alcohol or the cultivation of drug habits is likewise rather an insane net, a manifestation of an unsound mind, in the majority of I cases, although we know that chronic alcoholism, at least, not rarely lend 'to actual insanity in adult or mature life. (3) . That overworked notion of "overwork" with its attendant hokum nbout "a breakdown,'' so often utiliz ed to conceal the facts from the, cu rious public, has nothing to do with the cnuse of Insanity. An individual who is already Insane may have cer tain fixed delusions nbout his work, business cares, debts and other things which would not worry him in his right mind, . ( v' (4) . Insomnia Is ho more a cause of insanity than neglect of exercise is. Here, again, a not uncommon symp tom in certain types of insanity Is popularly taken to be a cause. In nine cases out of ten, insomnia is a temporary difficulty and the victim is mentally sound, but now and then the nocturnal restlessness of some one who is insane makes such .an Impression upon the lay mind as to ernse the com forting observation that It meant nothing liko that in the other nine cases. 9 (M.

D About Insanity. lidotic individuals, but are rarely if ever the cause of insanity or idocy. (6.) The absence of any Instance of Insanity in one's ascendants is no as surance that one is not insane. Quite ns Important as cases of frank insan ity, in the inheritance, are cases of such heredity equivalents as epilepsy, hysteria, chorea, neurasthenia (what ever that may be), somnamulism, mi graine, alcoholism, drug habits, crim inality or perversion. Qt'KSTIOXS AM) AXSWEII& I was astonished to read the article in which you said that one's diet does not affect constipation. I spent the (winter in Florida and ate. a great deal of oranges and grape fruit, and while I was there my bowels never were bet ter. (D. H. R.) Answer. I am astonished to read what you said I said, for I said noth ing of the kind. I simply asserted that no wholesome or proper food or ar ticle of diet is constipating or binding, and I added that certain foods are more laxative than others, so you see you must have mlsundorstood what I said or else the printers have been moro careless than usual. What we eat largely determines constipation. Send us a stamped self addressed en velope and ask for Kules of Breaking Cp the Constipation Habit. ' Please do no clip this, but just ask for what you want. I cannot send the rules unless you tell mo that you need them. Plucking KyebrowH.

Only now have we learned thift she had cancer of the throat, and we are terribly frightened. (J. F. C.) Answer. There is no occasion for any anxiety on that score for cancer Ii snot communicable anyway. Ky clash Culture. For quite a while I have been put ting vaseline on my eyelashes and rub bing it on the edges of the lids every night, hoping to make my eyelashes grow long. Lately I have been hav ing some trouble with my eyesight. Mother thinks the vaseline is the cause, and she would like to know before tak ,lng me to an oculist, j Answer. It Is silly to imagine that you can Increase nhe growth of tho eyelashes by applying anything to them or to the eyelids. The petro leum jelly Is not likely to bo the cause of any trouble with the eyesight Of course, you may have Infected your eyelids if the .petroleum jelly Was in an open can. Any such medicament should be kept in a collapsible tube, for protection ngainst contamination, or if It is kept In an open container then it ought to be sterilized by boll j ing or other means every few days,, The feltow who has ho time for his health today will have no health for his time tomorrow.

I "During the last twelve months the economic condition of Europe, has materially improved. And the most satisfactory fenture of this im- provement 1b tho fact that it has been firm and steady, not vio- lent and spectneu-j lar," so declares PhMlp Snowden British statesman, in a recent article. He goes on to say: "The foreign ex changes liave made a great ad vance toward sta IdlHy. The move ment of the ex changes is probably the best baro meter of the economic condition of tho world. By this test the coun tries of Europe may be said to have passed out of a state of high fever Into a condition of normal tempera ture, though enfeebled constitution. "The stability of the exchanges and of currencies is the essential condition of trade confidence. When the currency of a country fluctuates violently from day to day, or from hour to hour, nil sense, of security Is destroyed. A spirit of reckless ness seizes everybody, and trade and finance becopie a gamble. All ..the ordinary motives of Industry are undermined. , "The curses of Europe in the years aftor the armistice vast inflation, depreciating and fluctuating curren cles and exchanges, budget deficits if no( wholly removed have been vastly mitigated in the last twelve months. . Germany, Austria, Hungary, Po land and Russia have reformed their currencies, and these new currencies arc maintaining stability. There are at present no signs of any reaction. Dawes Plan. JIcliw Centr,? Europe. Whatever may bo or.? ' views of the ultimate practicability of the Dawes plan, there can be no doubt that the Immediate effect of this settlement of tho troublesome repa rations question has ; been to .very materially help the economic-and fi nancial restoratoin of Central Eu rope. "As was the case before the war, Germany must still be the main spring of the economic machinery of Central Europe's trade. A prosperous and stable Germany will revivify tho surrounding countr!est and their pros perily will react on' world trade. "The main benefit to Gormany, and to European reconstruction, from the establishment of the Dawes plan is that It has put the budgetry posi tion, and also the currency and fiscal systems, on a sound basis. The fixing of reparations payments at n definite sum has removed the feel ing of uncertainty ns to what might be demanded from her which pre viously existed, nnd which was fatal to effort on the part of Germany to restore her economic life. Poland Gains Proud Place. "Tho great work of tho League of Nations in promoting the recon struction loans for Hungary nnd Aus tria has had a most beneficial effect, not merely on the countries directly concerned but upon the condition of Central Europe generally. In Hun gary in particular, a marvelous transformation has token place. The budget position Is satisfactory. For eign trade Is much more active, and railway traffic returns have Increas" ed to the extent of putting the rail ways on a paying footing."
