Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish III curing rheumatism,
pain In the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.

effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis

This subsidized forest of nearly nine million young
trees that have survived is scattered all the way
from Red River to the Rocky Mountains. 1t is not

with trees to unlimited extent, but to distribute

the prairie, and makes excellent fenceposts.
No trees sent to cities or towns, because they
are likely to be cut down to make room for

and Medicine Hat. prairie towns that desired trees
with which to start parks.
One result of this Government cooperation in tree
planting has been to interest school children in
forestry. A number of schools have started tree
plantations that cared for by the pupils. The
Government always supplies schools with trees when
an application is properly made out and signed by
the school board
So popular has this branch of the Forestry De-
partments work become that the nursery of one hun
dred and sixty which was started soon as
the limited facilities of the experimental farms
outgrown has been doubled in size. Experiments
are being made now with great variety of trees in
order ascertain if any varieties may be profit
ably grown under prairie conditions of soil and
climate. There four million young trees at the
nursery which will be ready for distribution this
spring. 1t has been found that the total cost of
growing and distributing trees averages dollar and
forty-two cents a thousand.
Besides getting tree plantations started on the
prairies, the Forestry Department takes of ex
listing timber in Eastern Canada. For this purpose
seventy-four rangers employed to guard against
fire and timber thieves. Incidentally, they per-
form the functions of fish and game wardens also,
and are empowered to call out additional help to
put out bad fires. This service last year cost
twenty thousand dollars.

of 1907 two million trees sent to fourteen

here that the happy phrasng of a compliment is one
of the rarest of human gifts, and the happy delivery
of it another. In that other chapter mentioned
the high compliment which he paid to the book,

THE LOGICAL WOMAN.

Someone has said that a woman
has no logical Views, that her very
temperament has such bearing up
on her ideas that she continually al
lows her mind to natter in the most
erratic manner from one view to
another, and usually permits others
to influence her in argument. True,
there are women of this type though
there are women with logical minds
and philosophical views that some
might emulate, but never attain.
There is less crying need for women
with brain and influence to turn the
tide of common events than there is
for women filed with human kind
ness, sympathy and good feeling OF
comradeship for all persons. What
is logic If IL does not include sym
pathy: and what is II If it does not
spur q woman on to the completion of
her highest attainments in the most
womanly manner? One may have
correct reasoning, and at the same
time be stoical to the point of in
difference. A broad-minded person
may be possessed of liberal views in
one direction and narrow in another;
consequently the logical woman is
not to us the one who has mastered
higher studies or reached her various
degrees in college, but she is the wo-
man of liberal views that realizes
the weaknesses of human nature, is
sympathetic and reasonable i'm her
line of life, let it be what 1t may
There Is woman of beautiful tenn
perament who is logical, though
weak in philosophical views becaus,
she is lenient to those who continue

disposition. She realizes it but, be-
ing a woman, let's the womanly side
predominate, but the logical view:
