FOREST FARM FOR BABY SON
Estate to He Formed by Indiana Man
For One-year old Child.

A forest and sheep farm of 420
acres is the estate to be formed by Z.
J. Elgenmann, president of the Rock
port Trust company, for his son, now
one year old, says n dispatch from In
dianapolis, Ind.
w. III. Freeman, secretary of the In
diana state board of forestry, in his
talks before farmers institutes recent
" has tried to impress on his hearers
the value OF using their broken sandy
clay land for forest preserves. Mr.
Eigenmann became so interested in the
plan that he has decided to turn 400
acres OF broken, denuded sandy clay
land at Bradley's Crossing into forest
and sheep farm and hopes that by the
time the boy, for whose benefit the IN
vestment Is made, grows up this prop
erty, now valued at about $40 an acre,
will be very valuable.
In speaking of the experiment Mr..
Freeman described the soil as about
six feet deep, underlaid with soapstone
clay, which formed an impervious
stratum for water When exposed and
denuded, said Mr. Freeman, this land
becomes barren and badly eroded.
This sort of land can be made valua-
ble," he said. "On the loose, sandy
clay black locust trees will be planted
eight to twelve feet apart. In the
harder clay soil chestnut trees will be
planted at similar distances,
wherever locust trees are found
there you will also find fine stand Of
blue grass. The locust tree is legumi-
nous, not dense of shade. Its roots
rapidly network the soil and prevent
erosion, and few years will see a
dense, luxuriant growth of blue grass
These trees afford just enough
denseness of shade to protect such land
from the suns rays, conserve the
moisture and stimulate a growth OF
grass, and the seeds, leaves and flow
ers, because of their leguminous prop
critics, act as fertilizer. Thinning of
the trees and the grass will follow as
necessity demands. 1t Is after a good
stand of grass is obtained that the
stock will be allowed to Craze over the
land. Meantime the trees will be pro.
tected from the stock.
THE objects aimed at will be accom-.
plished. Grazing for sheep and cattle
will be afforded, and valuable forest
estate Of posts, telegraph and telephone
poles and railroad timbers will be OBJ
tanned. l can think of no more prac-
tical way to provide for that one-year-
old SON"

WAR ON TATTOOlNG.
Miss Helen Gould Said to Be Tryina
to Stop Practice In Navy.


to Stop Practice I'm Navy.
1t has recently been learned through
letters received at Cincinnati from the
navy yard at Norfolk, Va, that Helen
Gould intends using oil her power to
stop tattooing in the United States
navy, says a Cincinnati special dis
patch to the Washington Post 1t Is
known that Miss Gould has always
been much interested in the welfare OF
Uncle Sans tars, but the new move
is a surprise. In the navy among the
first things a recruit does is to have
the American eagle or flag tattooed on
his arm. He is told by old salts that
he could never expect to get further
than the forecastle unless he was prop
erly tattooed.
Miss Gould, however, thinks the hab-
II pernicious and offers substantial
prizes to sailors who will remain In
the navy five years without being tat
tooed. The prize, it Is said, consists of
$50 I'm cash and an order for $50 worth
OF clothing. The first to enter the
competition is Edward Hauser of Cir
cinnati. When he entered the navy
some months ago he refused to be tat
tooed, and only a few days ago he
heard of Miss Gould's offer He says
he has gone through the worst of the
business now and he will stick ii out
five years and get the reward.

beneficial to the system? If SO, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys
tenn TO purify the blood, and elimi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of health? IF so,
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
the skin, which is the sewerage of the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process of renovation
