BLUE MONDAY
Little Talks on H:iallh and Hygiene by
Samuel G, Dixon, M, D,, LL, D., D, Se,
Commissioner of Health,
Is it a habit of yours to get out of
bed on the wrong foot on Monday
morning ? Do you start for the cffice
with a frown on your face and a look
in your eye that sets the office boy
hunting for au errand outside and
starts the whole force on a grouch that
lasts for the belter part of the day?
Falesinen who make use of pay-
chology iu their business are very apt
to postpouve their Monday calls until
after lunch. By thst time the stmos-
phere has clesred a little,
When you come to think of it the

familiar to all,
With many people it ia not because
their daily tssks are distasteful or thst
their real attitude toward their sssoci-
ates is aggressive ; it is more a matter
of rather ill conceived ideas what con-
stitutes rest or diversion,

A strip of almost solid forest, ap-
proximately 55 miles long and from
two to eight miles wide, has been coy.
ered by topographers of the Pennsy-
Ivania Forest Service id the most ao
curate survey of Pennsylvania's forests
ever made. The area extends in a
northeasterly direction from the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad
near Petersburg, to within five miles
of Mifflinburg. It embraces parts of
Huntingdon, Centre, Snyder, MifMip,
and Union counties, and takes in sl
most 170,000 acres Htate Forests, and
twice the size of Montour county.
The purpose of the surveys is to se-
cure data on which to base plans for
the future developwent of the State
Forests. Maps of the areas surveyed
are beiug made up ss rapidly ss pos-
sible, and show every detail of topo-
graphy. Hprioge, roads, trails, fire
lanes, streams, camps sites, and eleva-
tion can be shown for every acre.
On the basis of these maps the For-
eats will be divided into com part-
mente, corresponding to the fields on
a farm. Each compartment, like
each field, ean then be given treat-
ment its condition demande. 7 bis
will make possible a system of inten
sive forest management very much
like the system which bas made Ger-
man’s forests ao productive,
The surveys will be continued until
the whole million scres of State For-
est have been covered. As soon se
mspe are made up, small scale copies
will te placed on sale at nominal}
prices. The only maps available now

ALWAYS A SIGN OF DEATH
Flag at “Half-Statt” Sure Indication
That the Dread Visitor Hae
Been There.
Nearly every one speaks of a fing,
when being flown at a distance from
the top of the pole, as at “half-mast.”
This 1s not the correct expression.
Buch flags are at “haltsetaff” because
they are flown in this manner whether
on land or sea from the flag stafr,
To see a flag at halfetaff means
death. It may mean, on an Incoming
ship, that one of the passengers or
crew died at sea. Many a little fish.
Ing vessel comes into Gloucester and
T whart in Boston every season with
a flag at bhalf-staff, and this means
one of the fishermen, or more, has met
death, generally being swept over
board.
This custom of flying flags at half
staff originated first as a token of de
feat. That is, when an army was de-
feated, its flag was lowered down the
stall to give room for the victorious
army to place its flag above that of
the defeated army.
From this the custom grew Into fly.
Ing the flag at half-ataff when an of
ficer, army or navy, dled, Later it was
adopted by civilians as well, and to
day, when a man of prominence dies.
regardless of whether he was sallor,
soldier, or civilian, the flags are hung
at half-stafy Whereas, in the olden
days, when the custom started, the up.
per epace was left to indicate that the
victor could put his flag there, now it
Seems that death is the victor, and so
the apace is left. It is, of course, a
mark of respect to the dead person to
have flags at half-staff for him.

The following advertisement of a
Tokio bookseller is worthy of the most
progressive vender of printed wares
“The advantages of our establish
ment: 1, price cheap as a lottery: 2.
books elegant as a singing girl: 3
prit clear as crystal: 4, paper tough as

mpanies; 6, articles as plentiful as
in a library; 7, goods dispatched as ex.
peditiously as a cannon ball; 8, parcels
dome up with as much care as that be
stowed on her husband by a loving
wife; 8, all defects, such as dissipa
tion and idleness, wlll be cured in
young people paying us frequent visits,
and they will become solid men; 10,
the other advantages we offer are too
many for language to express”
Great indian Poet Arrives
India seems at last to have pro
duced a great poet, and there have
been very few since the days of the
Mababharata. Mr. W. RB. Yeats, who
knows good poetry when he sees it,
and even writes occasionally, says of
the lately published volume by Rabin
dranath Tagore: “I have carried the
manuscript of these translations
about with me for days, reading it in
railway trains or on the top of omni
buses and In restacrants, sod | have
