ing large quantities for their nav
les. In response to repeated warm
ings the Government finally took
steps to grow timber for its own
use.
Young oaks were planted on the
Santa Rosa lands. Difficulty was
experienced in inducing young
trees to grow. The successful
transplanting of the oak is not
easy, unless done at the proper
time and in the right way. The
plantations at Santa Rosa were
generally unsuccessful; but large
quantities of acorns were planted,
and fair proportion of them grew.
But the chief efforts were directed
to pruning, training, and caring
for the wild trees. Thickets about
them were cut away to let in air
and light.
What the ultimate success of the
forestry work would have been can
not be told. The civil war brought
a complete change in war vessels
by substituting iron for wood.
Forestry work stopped. The tim
Der reserves were neglected. Squat
tiers occupied the land. After a
number of years all the reserves,
except some of the Florida land,
were opened to settlement.

duly signed, but the most saliant
features of the document were cut
out. One of the provisions insert
ed by the Winton boys, was that
the money was to be put up in the
hands of the umpire on the grounds
at the game. The Fire boys want
the money in the bank as forfeit
in case the Wintonities fail to live
up to their agreement. AS the
Ely boys have games and can Sc
cure others for that date, this is no
more than fair. The outlook just
now appears to be that the 500
game between Ely and Winton will
not materialize.

Special Rates to State Fair

Special rates will again be in or
der for the Minnesota State Fair,
Sept. E to IL, as was the case last
year. At recent meeting of the
Western Passenger Association it
was decided to grant a one and one
half rate on round trip business to
the State Fair from all points in
Minnesota and also from all points
in Wisconsin within radiue of so
miles.
The Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and 500 lines do not be-
long to the Western Passenger As
ISOLATION and has not as yet decided
to grant the special, rates for the
State Fair, but there is every rea-
son to believe they will do so some
time before the fair opens.
The special-rate tickets sold to
the Minnesota State Fair this year
will be good from Sept. to 10, in
elusive, returning Sept. Is, and the
of the special rate once
more should have considerable to
do with making the Twin Cities
more than ever convention point
for Minnesotans during State Fair
week.

The game was for the benefit of

AS TO THE STREETS.

Has it occurred to you that Pales-
tine has about reached the point in
growth where it can no longer be
satisfied with or depend on the COM
mon 6iStastreets Of the past? If it has
not impressed you, it Is crrrre you were
making mental note of the fact. We
are now at the place in our develop
ment when we must pass up the
ways of the country town, and move
forward to the means and measures of
the city. If it was ever all right to
depend upon the sandy and muddy
streets, it is not right or possible any
longer. And it is time that some one
was putting thought to a plan to
secure for the city the needed better
streets. The Herald has no very posi-
tive ideas in the premises, further
than to criticise the old way-the
way of raking the sand from the curb
ing to the center of the street, to be
washed back again by the first rain.
This is a perpetual waste Of money,
time and energy, and if repeated for
two thousand and ten years would
never result in good streets. There
is no big fund at hand or in prospect
to do big things in street work at any
one time. No big paving jobs can be
undertaken on the residence streets
until the city has more revenue. But
small things can be done in sub
stantial way. If the Herald had a
suggestion to make, and one that had
any standing with the city commits
sioners, it would advocate the employ

TOWNS WITH THE HookwoRm.

While Rockefeller is giving literally
to provide for the eradication of the
hookworm in the south, some other
phtlanthropist would make undying
fame for himself by devising a means
and providing the funds for the aid
of hookwormed municipalities. For
tunately there is little need for such a
move in Texas, where the cities have
neither hookworm, pellagra nor appen-
dicitis, but there are a few
These towns with grouches are to
be found in every state. They suffer
from malnutritioe and anaemia. The
stranger within the town can readily
diagnose the disease by the Uttered
streets, the poorly patronized local
paper and the resentment of the ma

travellers. A party Of autoists travel
ing through Texas struck one last
week and were charged five dollars
for the services of a pilot to show
them the road to the next town.

Daily Helps to Health
and Happiness
By GEORGE F. BUTLER. A. M.Mp.

The natural, safe, and efficient
means of correcting all nervous
arrangements, is to give more
rest to the parts deranaed or
disturbed, and so to change the
modes of life as to send out the
nervous power constantly being
generated in the system through
other channels, thus giving
those which are overworked
time for recuperation. 1t would
be the same if a man were dying
with excessive physical exertion.
Let the body rest, and give him
something to engage his
thoughts pleasantly; send the
nervous system out of the body,
through the brain. Next to
over-induIgences as a cause of
nervous disturbances, is an I'M
perfect assimilation of food; the
blood, therefore, is not of good
quality and the nerve cells are
poorly nourIshed. To cure
nervous prostration, there must
be first, rest, change, reorea-
ton; second, richer blood, which
can be supplied by improving
the digestion and assimilation of
food, fresh air, sunshine, cleanIi-
ness; in word, proper hygiene.
To give drugs to stimulate the
nervous system, is only the
stimulus OF the lash to an em-
hausted donkey; it either kills
outright, or induces an unnat-
ural effort, which can only be
exerted temporarily, with the
certain effect of falling into
greater exhaustions.

Priscilla Bag---Silk
Bedroom Slippers

The girl who has time for a little
fancy work at home. either making
things for herself or preparing for
Christmas. should start work on the
butterfly handkerchiefs.
They have been sold In the shops for
some time. imported from Paris and
costing quite bit of money.
A girl can make them at home If she
is clever with her needle. IL she has
been doing any of the butterfly ap-
plique in underwear which has been
the fashion this season she will be ex.
pert enough to start on this other
work.
The foundation is a sheer fine hand
kerchief with tiny hemstitched edge.
Either one or several butterflies are
cut from sheer colored silk null and
applied to the linen.
They can be all of one color or in
different colors and embroidered at
the edges and up the center to give
the coloring of real butterfly.
Some girls may prefer just one but
terfiy with widespread wings in faint
color, such as lavender. pink. yellow
or blue.
If she makes a set for a Christmas
gift 1t will be pretty to put different
colored one on each handkerchief.

a sewing bag. as it is easily folded and
can be carried in a small hand bag
when she goes visiting. One yard and
a quarter each of plain pink taffeta and
Dresden silks are required. Both silks
are cut on the bias and divided into
three pieces. then sewed together alter

then pink. and so on. The. foundation
of the bag is a circle Of soft cardboard
five inches in circumference. This is
covered neatly with pink taffeta silk
on both sides. for which quarter yard
of pink taffeta silk is required. After
base is covered gather silk and sew
on to base. This forms the bottom Of
bag. To make top. turn in silk about
two inches from the top and stitch
down neatly, then make another row
of stitching one-half inch above this
row. This forms a place through
which the running string is run. One
yard of narrow soft taffeta ribbon Is
used for running string.
