' At a recent conference of Foresâ€" trv Branch officials at Ottawa, the inspectors of Dominion Forest Re- serves unanimously agreed ' that thousands of acres of young trees on these reserves have been de- stroyed by rabbits in the last couple of years. The bark of popla-r,rjack pine and spruce seems to be equalâ€" aly acceptable to these rodents, and in many places so completely have the trees been stripped of bark at the base of t-he‘trunks that they have the appearance of a white- washed forest. Especially do the rabbits like the young tender tree- seedlings in the forest reserve nur- series, and in one instance some thousands of green ash transplants were entirely consumed in one night. It is hard to realize the great numbers of these rabbits in the West in some seasons, yet the rapidâ€" ity with which they increase seems, strangely, to be one of the reasons .for their periodic decline in num- 'bers, for the western Indians state that the disease which almost ex- ‘terminates them carry seven years .or so is due primarily to starva- tion through lack of sufficient food. The Australians were put. to the necessity of building a wire fence almost across their continent to protect their crops from the rabbit plague there. The Forestry Branch has a similar problem in protecting the forest crops in the West from devastation. It was once proposed to put a little wire fence around each tree planted, but a forest is not anhorchard, and some more practicable preventive will have to be found for the annual destruction caused by rabbit-s on the thirty-six thoiisand square miles contained in Dominion Forest Rese’rves.

While a building was in course of demolition at Newton Row, Bir- mingham, England, part of the up- per floor gave way. One man, luck- ily, got clear, but two failed to es- cape, and one of them stood over the kneeling form of the other and supported as much of the huge mass of masonry as he could from falling on to him. If he had not had the presence of mind to do this his mate would have been killed at once. Thus, with this stupendous weight You his shorilld-ei's, with ~blood trickling into his eyes from a severe wound on the forehead, the brave man grasped the windowâ€"sill with his hands and waited assistance. This was some time coming, for the work of rescue was difficult and dangerous, and there was also the danger of the hcrogiving way under the terrible strain. But eventually he was released, and directly the rescuers freed him he fainted from sheer exhaustion, and an examination revealed, not only his head wound, but a dislo- cated collar-bone. W4 Liquid Cough Mixtures Can’t Cure Bronchitis But the Healing Fumes of Catarrh- ozone, Which are Breathed to the Furthest Recesses of the Bronchial Tubes, Being Quick Relief and Sure Cure. Every sufferer from coughs, colds, bronchitis and all throat and chest ailments needs a soothing,_healing medicine which goes direct to the breathing organs in the chest and lungs, attacks the trouble at the source, disperses the germs of dis- ease, and cures the ailment thorough- ly. And this medicine is “Catarrh- ozone.” The germ-killing balsamic vapor mixes with the breath, descends through the throat, down the bron- chial tubes, and finally reaches the deepest air cells in the lungs. All parts are soothed with rich, pure, medicinal essences, whereas with a syrup the affected parts could not be reached, and harm would result through benumbing the stomach with drugs. “I have been a chronic sufferer from Catarrh in the nose and throat for over elght years. I think I have spent four hundred dollars trying to get relief. I have spent but six dol- lars on Catarrhozone, and have been completely cured, and, in fact, have been well for some time. ca. tarrhozone is the only medicine I have been able to find that would not only give temporary relief, but win always cure permanently. Yours sinâ€" cerely (Signed), WILLIAM RAGAN, Brockville, Out.” For absolute, permanent cure‘ use Catarrhozon'e.
