SYRIA, TURKEY'S GREEN SPOT. INTIMATE NATURAL HISTORY.
Land of Patriarchs and Prophets Will
be a Mandatory.
Syria is one of ,.the small nations
whose disposition is a Peace Confer-
ence problem. This region, extending
from the Taurus Mountains to Egypt,
and from the desert to the Great Sea,
is the land of the patriarchs and pro-
phets and apostles—"the Holy Land,"
Its population numbers about three
and a half millions, of Semitic origin,
speaking•the Arabic language, and yet
with so many races intermingled
through the centuries of the various
conquests and occupations that the
people cannot claim any'line race as
their man.
Greek, Roman and European crusa-
dor have all blended with the ancient
Semitic stock to produce the Syrians
of to -day, whom Lord Cromer, in his
memoirs, termed "the cream of the
East."
In Syria was the one green spot of
Turkey—the Lebanon mountains. In
ancient times the mountains were
everywhere covered with forests.
The cedars of Lebanon not only fur-
nished timber for the building of Solo-
mon's temple in Jerusalem, but the
kings of Egypt annually floated large,
rafts of logs from the Syrian coast to
supply the demands of the cities of
the Nilo. This constant demand from
foreign lands, together With the lack
of any system of reforestation, has
practically denuded the mountains of
the whole land.
Once more to cover the mountains
and hills with pine and cedar and oak
would be a simple task If carried on
systematically. The chief enemy to-
day of •reforestation by nature is the
herd of goats, which every spring
roam over the whole country and de-
vour- every green thing. The little
seedling trees suffer ospeciaily.
In 1860, because of massacres, the
European powers insisted that these
mountains be made autonomous. And
following that date this little district
became a living demonstration of
what good government will produce
aiid"of'wliat the people of the land are
capable of becoming.
•The steep mountain sides were ter-
raced to a height of 4000 feet and
planted tp olives, figs and vines. Taxes
were' low, safety to persons and pro-
perty secured, good roads' built and
kept in repair. The people constrdct-
ed more comfortable. homes and sent
their sons to schools and college.
The story of the achievements of
the Lebanon during the sixty years
of autonomy would be a thrillink nar-
rative in itself.
It is not the men who are doing
the talking 'who are solving our
• problems, but the men who cue ab
work: When they talk, they know
what it is about,
Tho roan who does better and
more prouctive work to -day than he
did yesterday is a social reformer of
the highest type, Ho is doing some-
thing genuine. He is squaring his
own account with the world, .and
helezing others to •square theirs.
incident in the Journey of An Explorer
in Abyssinia.
That the adoption of European dress
among the native Africans causes dis-
comfort -and physical harm is the be-
lief of Maj. C. H,Sti and In Ab s-
igTo Y
snia Through an Unknown Land, the
explorer, who was studyng the•Iang-
nage of the natives, says he had ar-
rived at one of the Abyssinian out-
posts, and had stopped to rest his men
and animals when this Instructive in-
cident'occurred:'
The people were under a shunt, or
civil chief, and I lost no• time in pay-
ing him a call. The shunt himself
could not write, and he went through
the vocabularies I had made out on
ally jom'ney and suggested new words
for me to write down. Several of the
natives sat close against me in a
most friendly way and said:
"Has he such and such a word?
Write it down for him."
One of them said, "Has he got kun-
cha down?"
Lreplied, "No! What Is kuncha?"
"Oh, write it down for hint; he
ought to have kuncha. Show him what
kunchel, is."
My instructor forthwith opened a
fold of his ehamma, and out hopped
about twenty fleas.. He casually re-
marked. "These are kuncha. I will
.write it down for you."
At that I said I was afraid I must
be,going; to which they replied:
"You have not got kimal yet. Let
me write that for you. Show him a
Icimal."
All those present began hunting in
•their clothes, and a very brief search
sufficed to produce a few brace of
kimal—an Insect to wbich I trust my
reader,has not. yet heels introduced.
I bade ;them a, hurried farewell and
departed. Subsequent -examinations
of my clothes afforded me further op.
portunities to study the natural his,
tory of the kuncha and the kimal, "'

help him by .actual experience.
Ile started hiin In business by keep-
ing a grocery store in the attic of their

ing, selects his goods and keeps a
stock on'hand. The mother buys her
supplies from him at the regular price
and he keeps the profit for hie awn
spending money.
The father insists that ho koop his
own ledger and keep it accurately or
the business will, be stopped.
The boy enjoys the Idea of the store
and his own responsibility, so has eag-
erly learned from his father the way,
to buy and sail, make change, figure
profits and keep simple accounts. The
result is shown by his interest las,
arithmetic at school and by much
higher marks. He has greatly -iMif-
proved in the school work, besides
getting valuable training for business,

place it takes a hpndrecl years, let us
say, for a seedling to grow into a re-
spectable tree, fit for the eaw, The'
trees we are now cutting`are on the
average mucb older. The time to
start our now forests, therefore, is
now—not a hpndred years_ from now—
for otherwise we slsould have a long
period during which we should be
without adequate supplies 'of timber.
Io the second place, tildes who argue
that no present action is necessary
oyerlook one of the most'vltal facts in
the whole forest problem, namely,
that the destruction of forests in any
one locality, district, os' region has a
distinctly adverse influence on the
prosperity of the country as a whole.
The forest problem is essentially a
local problem.
Conservation for Consideration.
It is a fact admitted by thinking
farmers that through negligence or
misplaced frugality In not providing
covering for implements of agricul-
ture, when not in use, they get about
half the years of service from them
they should. The loss from exposure
is greater than the deterioration that
follows through legitimate use.
We will assume that the necessary
equipment required to work a farm
costs 81,000 and that with care the
equipment may be used for ten years.
Without care these implements would
be scrapped in five years. The de-
duction to'be made from these figures
is that an implement shed built and
in use in five years is equal to $500.
It does not cost half that sum to
:build a good implement shed, but how
many farmers, otherwise up to date
and progressive, fail to provide pro-
per care for the tools with which they
work?
Life Is Worth the Living.
Life is worth the living
If but for Nature's song.

Life is worth the living—

For Just one friend that's true;
Seek but to find its gladness,
And it will come to you.

A. National Conference on Infant
-Welfare will be hold in London, Eng-
land, on ,July lst, and and 3rd, 191.
Problems related to the medical,
social, racial and industrial aspects of
infant and child welfare will be dis-
cussed. The Conference is being
called by the National League for
Health, Maternity and Child Welfare,
the officials of wbilch urge that similar
conferences' be organized in other
countries during 'the present year.
Then in 1920, an International Con-
gress is planned to bring together the
results and findings for further de-
talled discussion.. It is hoped in this
way to carryout the plane of the

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR
Make this beauty lotion for a few
cents and seed for you,rseif.
What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating,
and should be mixed with orchard
white this way: Strain through a line
cloth the juice of two fresh lemons
into a bottle eontaiuing'about three
ounces of orchard "white; then shake
well and you have a whole quarter
pint of sk,cln and complexion lotion
at about the cost one usually pays for
a small jar of ordinary cold cream.
Be sure to strain the lemon juice so
no pulp gets into the bottle, then this
lotion will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face, neck, arms and hands It Should
help , to bleach, clear, smoothen and
beautify the skin,
Any druggist will supply three
Oriilees of orchard white at very Ilittlo
cost and the glocier has the lemons.
