interest in tho occasion. IIo has writton
as follows:
10 tho County Suporintendents of

approved February lG, 1903, has directed
nthat tho free public schools of this
State shall observe the third Friday in
November of each year as Arbor Day,
and on that day tho school officers and
teachers shall conduct such exercises and
engage in tho planting of such shrubs,
plants and trees as will impress on tho
minds of the pupils tho proper valuo and
appreciation to bo placed on flowers,
ornamental shrubbory and shade trees"
Until tho observance Of this day in our
schools has become an established Gus
tom it may be overlooked, unless spc-
cally brought to the attention of tho
teachers. You will therefore urgo upon
all tho teachers of your county to ceIc-
brato tho day in their schools.

Baby's Comma.

Nature intended that evory woman
should look forward to tho coming of
hor baby with Joy and hope, unclondcd
by anxiety. Almost painless parturition
is quito tho usual thing among unoivil-
lied people. Even in our own, country
it occasionally happens with women in
robust health and good condition. 1t
ought to bo the rule instead of the oxccp
ton; and 1T is q fact that very large
proportion of tho usual pain and suffer
ing may bo avoided by looking after
tho mothor''s general health, and specially
strengthening tho particular organs con.
cerned in parturition.
Many mothers have boon brought
through the trying. timo aln1osS pain
lessly by the aid of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
prescription. 1T propars the9systeni for
delivory by imparting the organic
strength an elasticity which tho mother
specially needs; shortons tho time of
labor and Of confinement; promotes the
secretion of abundant nourishmcnt for
tho child and fortitios tho entire CON
stitution against the after period of do
preston and weakness. Its use should
begin in tho early months of gcstation-
the earlier tho bottor.
