ARBOR DAY ANNUAL ISSUED.
AdVice Regarding Trse-Planting Sent to the
Schools.

New York City.-The Arbor Day
annual for Friday, May 8, has been
sent out to the schools of the State
by the Education Department at AL
bany. The pamphlet is illustrated,
some of the cuts showing how the
happy natural location of a country
schoolhouse may be improved by sys-
tematic planting.
A letter from A, S. Draper, Com
missioner of Education, to the schools
is contained in the annual, and there
are chapters on trees and shrubs for
school grounds, the forests of New
York, and description OF the Fair
view Garden School at Yonkers. In
discussing tree-planting, the annual
says:
During the past eleven years there
have been planted on the school
grounds of the State Of New York
1859 trees From the establish
ment of Arbor Day in 1889 until
1895 there were planted 1924
trees, making a total in the past
eighteen years of 31S,920, There are
over 10000 school commission dis
trictg in the State. This would give
more than thirty trees to every dis
tributed.
Since the establishment of Arbor
Day practically every district has at
one time or another reported the
planting of some trees. An inquiry
recently addressed to the school COM
missioners revealed the fact that
there are over 1000 districts in the
State with absolutely no trees or
oh, h Ic
many others with only few stray
Cling trees. Further than that, a
very small per cent. of the whole
number of districts give any sort of
attention to the care of their grounds.
Apparently, there is more need
for the care of trees and shrubs than
there is for actual planting. 1t is
easy enough for an enthusiastic
teacher to work up appropriate cere-
monies for Arbor Day, but toe often
| the teacher finds no practical re-
spouse from the patrons of the school.
1t ought to be understood by
school officers everywhere that mere
sentiment will not arouse the patrons
of a school district to beautify their
school grounds. The whole matter
must in some way be put before them
on plain business basis. They must
see that it pays, as in the end it most
certainly does, to paint the school
house whenever it needs it, to plant
and care for trees and shrubs about
the grounds, and give the whole place
an inviting air of cleanliness and re-
spectability that commands the re-
spect and admiration of the stranger
and teaches an invaluable lesson to
the home cOmmunity -

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrOwth Of the
OId-time household remedies.
In the early history Of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD IT'S HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, Bit
tcrs, Iaxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, COm-
pounded by the housewife, sometimes
assisted by the apothecary or the fam
lily doctor. Such remedies as pfcra,
which was aloes and quassia, dis
solved in apple brandy. Sometimes q
hop tonic, made of whisaxey, hops and
bitter baris. A score or more OF pop
ular, homemade remedies were thus
compounded, the formulae for which
were passed along from house to
house, sometimes written, sometimes
verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, Old-time custom. In the begin
ming some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these home made remedies, would
take it up, improve it in many ways,

Pcauna was originally one of these
Old-time remedies. 1t was used by
the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, be-
fore it was offered to the public for
SALE. DIR. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL
COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of
Mennonite origin. First, he pre-
scrfbed it for his neigflbors and his
patients. The sale of it increased,
and at last he established manufac-
tory and furnished it to the general
drug trade.

ment, and to rely ON his remedy, Pc

What this country of ours needs to-

the conversational powers. Mr.. Car

our profanity and our exaggerations,
our weather drivef and our personal

our brutalities. We need a doctor

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
The President Appeals to the School Children
to Observe 1t Thoughtully.

Washington, D. G.. - President
Roosevelt issued kind of personal
proclamation to THE school children
Of the United States" 1t contains an
appeal to them to observe Arbor Day
in thoughtful spirit, with the pur-
pose of preserving the forests for
future generations. This is the
Presidents appeal:
To the School Children of the United
States:
Arbor Day (Which means simply
tree day"} is now observed in every
State in our Union and mainly in the
schools. At various times from Janu-
airy to December, but chiefly in this
month of April, you give day or
part of day to special exercises and
perhaps to actual tree planting in
recognition of the Importance of trees
to us as nation and of what they
yield in adornment, comfort and use
full products to the communities in
which you live.
1t is well that you should celebrate
your ArboP Day thoughtfully, for
within your lifetime the nations need
/ of trees will become serious. We of
an older generation can get along
with what we have, though with
growing hardship; but in your full
manhood and womanhood you will
want what nature once so bountifully
supplied and man so thoughtlessly
destroyed and because of that want
you will reproach us not for what we
have used but for what we have
wasted
For the nation, as for the man or
woman and the boy or girl, the road
to success is the right use Of what we
have and the improvement of present
opportunity. If you neglect to pre-
pare yourselves now for the duties
and responsibilities which will fall
upon you later, if you do not learn
the things which you will need to
know when your school days are over,
you will suffer the consequences. So
any nation which in its youth lives
only for the day reaps without SOW
ing and consumes without husband
ing, must expect the penalty of the
prodigal whose labor could with diff
Guilty find him the bare means of life.
A people without children would
face a hopeless future; country
without trees is almost as hopeless;
forests which are so used that they
cannot renew themselves will soon
vanish and with them all their bene-
fits. A true forest is not merely a
storehouse. full OF wood, but, as it
were, factory of wood, and at the
same time reservoir of water.
When you help to preserve our for
ests or to plant new ones you are
acting the part of good citizens. The
value of forestry deserves, therefore,
to be taught in the schools, which
aim to make good citizens of you. If
your Arbor Day exercises help you to
realize what benefits each one of you
receives from the forests and how by
your assistance these benefits may
continue, they will serve good end.

We Kin Too Many People.

During the first eight weeks of the
present year about 175 people were
killed in railroad accidents and about
4G5 were injured. We Americans
are very calious about our annual
list of the dead and wounded travel
ers and railroad employees. The
minor casualties make little impress
sion on the public mind, though they

big accidents are more effective tn

APPENDICITIS
Not at all Necessary to Operate il
Many Cases.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare
some people before they are hit.
Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch in the bowels. Starch
is hard to digest and clogs up the d.
gestive machinery-also tends to
form cakes in the cecum. Chats the

pendix).
A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but
lived on milk for awhile-then Grape
Nuts and got well without an opera
ton.
She says: Give years ago while
at school, / suffered terribly with
constipation, and indigestion" (Too
much starch, white bread, potatoes,
ETC., which she did not digest)
Soon after left school had an
attack of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived on milk and water.
When recovered enough to eat solid
food there was nothing that would
agree with me, until friend recon-
mended Grape-Nuts.

115 lbs. The distress after eating
left me entirely and now am like a

Some Object in Nature Should
Re Given puHilS TO Study

Ithica, N. Y.-Several weeks be-
fore Arbor Day some object in nature
should be given to each pupil to

study of trees of the neighborhood.
Have each pupil select a tree, meas
ure its height and girth, examine its
bark and manner of branching, and
it's leaves and their arrangement.
Drawings of the trees before and
after the leaves appear may be made
and the grain OF the wood, the COM
mercial value of the tree, it's beauty
and strength described. Children of
the primary grades may SOW seeds in
little pots or boxes in time to exhibit
the plants on Arbor Day.

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand ap-
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
spoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this r o d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches.
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this gre a
change may be expected.
