PUBLIC SMOKING ROOM?

The railroad company ought to pro- vide Agent Ryan at Still River with baseball club that he might whack over the head those men and boys who persist in smoking their vile pipes in the presence of ladies Tn the waiting room at the station, notwithstanding a sign conspicuously displayed which says: "No smoking allowed" On Monday night while waiting for the 5.45 p. m., train north, five or six men sat placidly smoking their nasty pipes, notwit hstanding the presence of half dozen ladies. If these men don't know the alphabet of decency and good man. ners the writer suggests Manager Breinig start an evening school of Good Manners" where lectures and instruction should be given for the benefit of the barbarians.

 Bladder troubles almost always result from a Arrangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. Ifyou are feel. ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
 It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, and oyer- comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night.

TREE PLANTING.

In no section of the country is the
problem OF reforesting dennded lands
likely TO be given more serious con-
sideration in the future then iD the
lake states. where so mrch Of the
land has already been made bare by
wasteful numbering and forest fires.
That well directed planting Is sure to
do much for this region Is proven by
many who have already had success
In the work
One of the interesting accounts OF
recent experiments IN planting forest
trees has just been given by cor
respondent Of the United States for
est service living In Lac Qui Parle
county, Minnesota, This planting
was done with the principal object In
view of establishing shelter belts for
the protection of farm buildings and
stock, and the results will doubtless
interest many farmers of the northern
prairie region.
The first planting WAS done In April,
1906, and consisted OF two forest plan
tations, one OF five acres and one Of
one and one-half acres. Both Of these
plantations are located on level. deep,
upland soil The first comprises an
equal mixture OF green ash and white
elm planted In rows six feet apart
with the trees four feet apart In the
rows 0ne-year-old nursery-grown
seedlings. Inches high. we're used.
The smaller plantation was of west
ern yellow pine planted In rows 10
feet apart with the trees eight feet
apart In the rows. Young transs
planted trees OF foot or more In
height were used. Thorough and care
full cultivation has been given both
plantations with small-shoyeled.
one-horse cultivator. There have been
no losses at all In the ash and elm
plantation and the trees now average
about six feet high. The stand OF
pine is 9S per cent perfect and the
trees average about 20 inches high.
II is likely that the spacing OF the
nine plautatioR will be found too

We All Eat 700 Much.

AS the result of his exhaustive ex-
periments with a squad Of United

most people eat TOO much. -

They were called the Starvation

look like those of starving men, rather
like those of competent gymnasts.
Says Prof Chittenden In his recently
published Physiological Economy In
Nutrition" Our results 80 Jus

man under ordinary conditions Of life
are far below the generally accepted
dietary standards, and far below the
amounts called for by the acquired
