Citizens Urged TO Plant Trees.

Governor Stone has issued proclama-
ton designating April and Is as arbor
days. The proclamation states that the
recent floods show the need OF forest
preservation in Pennsylvania. 1t follows:
"The growing demands of our indus
tries have in recent years brought about
such a rapid drain of our forest that it be-
came necessary to take actvie steps for
thur rehabilitation.
"The forestry department of Pennsyl-
yania is rapidly acquiring forest lands
and establishing foresty reservations and
efforts in this direction will be product
i've OF great good, but if the ends sought
are to be accomplished it is of vast i'm
portance that trees be planted upon the
unproductive lands of the Commonwealth
in order that the damage already done
may be in part at least repaired.
The recent floods have again empha-
sized the danger in further reducing the
wooded areas. Ii the unproductive lands
OF the State were adequately protected by
trees the heavy rains would pass into
the streams more slowly and the loss to
the Commonwealth would be infinitely
less.
"owiug to the frequent floods and res
ultant muddy and impure water. the
cities and towns of the State are fast re-
alizing the necessity of obtaining their
water supply from the head waters of the
streams. Almost all the towns in the
State can have pure water if forest areas
ara maintained at the source OF suitable
streams.
"These conditions make it the duty of
every citizen to all in this benefcient
work, which affects not only the State at
large but each individual in the Com
mouwealth.
"In order that our citizens, both young
and old, may have an opportunity to con-
tinue to contribute their share in this
laudible work.
~, William A. Stone, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in &C.
cordance withal, do hereby designate and
proclaim Friday, the 4th day of April
and Friday, the 18th day of April, A. D..
1902, to be observed as arbor days
throughout the Commonwealth.
1.-Two days are set apart for the OBJ
servance of this custome inasmuch as the
climatic conditions may render one of
these days more favorable for the pur-
pose intended than the other, the selec-
ious section of the Commonwealth"

TIE Senate's blind chaplain, the Rev.
DR.. W. II. Milburn, was first elected
chaplain of Congress in 1915. Represen-
tative Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois nom
mated him. That was ten years before
John Sherman and Justin S. Morrill, took
seats in the House. "In those days"
says D.. Milburn, zone chaplain offered
the PRAYER at the opening Of each branch
of Congress, and the only way this could
be done by one man was to have the Sen
ate clock kept ten minutes slower than
the House clock. After offered the in
vocation in the House page would take

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and bv constantly failing to cure with
local treatment. pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh TO be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. j. Cheney Il
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a

The greatest danger from colds and la
grippe is their resulting in pneumonia.
If reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all
danger will be avoided. Among the tens
of thousands who have used this remedy
for those diseases, we have yet 10 learn of
a single case having resulted in pneu-
monia, which shows conclusively that It
is a certain preventive Of that dangerous
mplady. IL will cure a cold or an attack

To get the best prices for eggs one
must rot buy them to sell. but must
have enough hens to supply the de-
mand. All eggs should be collected
daily and should not be allowed e
remain unsold over t~wenty-four
hours. No stale nest-eggs should be
used, and every precaution must be
taken that each customer may never
be disappointed. When the conf
dence OF customers il secured the
matter of good prices will be settled,
as the majority of persons are will
ing to pay an extra price when they
know that the eggs purchased are
fresh. As one can make a speciality
of supplying fresh eggs unless he
carefully avoids those eggs found in
stolen nests or in out-of-the-wly
places. The reputation for supplying
choice fresh eggs must be made and
no mistakes must occur at any time.

they have faith and reliance in him
