Too much coddling of the body in-doors, over-eating or Indulgence in food not adapted to the needs of the body, with failure to protect the body when going out-doors, probably lie at the seat of most of the ail- ments that have their origin in the respiratory organs or digestive tract--and the combination is often most serious in its effects.

FOREST FIRE LOSS, The Dominion Forestry Branch has recently fssued an interesting gnd valuable report under the cap- tion. "The Forests of Canade." It presents in considerable detail the story of forest activities in the do- m¢nion. The' forest wealth of Can- ada is indeed abundant, but there is a grave danger that it will mot fong remain so unfess some drastic and "far-reaching methods are soon adapted, The annuel loss by fire, fungi and insect pests runs into the millions each year, while indiscrim- inate cutting and the lack oY refor- estation methods is seriously deplet- ing our natural resources in this re« spect. We owe it to future genera- tions, no less than to ourselves, to adopt more stringent laws in regard to forest preservatioon. All of this the report, of course, points out, and adds: "Though the loss of merchantable timber by fire and disease has been very greatly reduced in recent years as a result of the organization of forest-protective services, it still constitutes a serious drain on the forest resources. The annual con. sumption of standing timber for usa amounts to- about 2,600,000,000 cuble feet. At a very low estimate, fire destroys annually about 800, 000,000 cubic feet of merchantable timber and the young growth cn 1,300,000 acres. During the last ten wars the destruction occasioned by the spruce bud-worm has averaged 1,845,000,000 cubic feet.per an- num besides the injury from bark- beetles and other insects, The loss due to fungl is not known but is undoubtedly large. It may be safely estimated that the forests of Canada are being depleted at the rate of up- wards of §5,600,000,000 cubic feet per ennum. With about 475,000,000 acres of potential, but at present un- merchantable, forest land, aver- age increment of 11.5 cubic feet per acre would supply this amount, but in view of the destruction of young growth which occurs and the de- terioration of the foresls and the soil, caufed by repeated fires, there is little ground for the hope this increment Is being produced." oy ---- -- -- a in moderate quantities and protec | ter season probably lies in the ten-| that | more and more education for (he i people. | No one, he says, who wants a higher education along humanistis, | as well as along vocational or pIo- | fessional lines, should be demiel it for lack of resources. After regret:- | ing the present over-crowding of colleges, he asserts that "in some ! way we must continue to provide the | opportunities of liberal 'education | for the average man. We must train leaders, we must give the best to the | best; but democracy needs not simp- | 1y a chosen few, but the elevation of | the, standards of life and thought | among the masses of the people 0 | the fullest extent practicable." The benefit that a student gets from a college training is, of course, hard to estimate. It may be true that it is sometimes a handicap to what 1s usually known as success in life, not only because it delays one's entrance into the. actual affairs of the-world but because {t sometimes arouses interests that conflict with one's main aim in life, Education, in that view, is luxury for those that have leisure. But that is a private phase of education. It also has Its public aspect. The attitude of those who would | restriot college attendance is that of the two great English universi- ties a century ago. The opportuni- ties for a higher education were then limited, more by custom than by law, to the ruling classes. Even with this restriction, England was assured of the training of her pub. lic men. | In this country authority rests with the people. Bach citizen should have all the training possible to make him acquainted with the problems of the nation and of the world, It is only through education that real democracy can continue.

IL 13 a natural desire, for such an out- let would put her in touch more di- rectly with the outside world. Her present connection is roundabout, through the Black Sea, the Bos- phorus, the sea of Marmora, the Dar- danelles, into the Aegean Sea, and thence into the Mediterranean Sea, where the route is through the Suez Canal and the Red Bea, or west through the Straits of Gibraltar into the Atlantic. fifths of the Bulgars are farmers raising barley, oats, rye, wheat, to- bacco, fruit, as well as goats, asses, mules, pigs, horses and cattle. There is also gold, coal, copper, lead, iron and silver. If she had her own self only to consider, and the desired out- let to the Aegean Sea, she would be prosperous. Perhaps one can say none of them is free.

That the govern- ment would listen fs certain, but that it would be able to act is not as certain, for relations with Bulgaria's neighbogm are in le - equil- brium. Some one is alwa ust on the point of "spilling the beans." Roumania and Jugo Slavia do not stand high in the estimation of sev- eral travellers who visited those states recently. They declare there is a great deal of graft, that officials are untrustworthy, and that the com- mon people are uncertain as to their government--do not understand the law and are suspicious of its justice. Many of these people were formerly subjects of Austria-Hungary. They do mot like either the Roumanian gov t, or that of Jugo-Slavia. They do not fit in with the new order of things. It would seem that nature had been gemerous with Roumania, and that her ills are all human in origin. Her soil is rich, some say the best in Furope. That in itself should be a guarantee of financial stability. In 1919, her wheat crop was upwards of one and a half million tons, She has 12,000,000 acres of forest; she grows maize (corn), wheat, rye, oats, flax, hemp, tobacco, melons, fruit and grapes. No one should be in want in a "land that floweth with milk and honey." But besides this, there are oll fields employing 50,000 workers, and salt, coal, lignite, gold and mica mines. If its government rules fair- ly, and outside interference nil, Rou- mania should be a happy land. Its population is 17,000,000.
