 noble forests of white pine and hem lock in Connecticut and the State Forestry department had planted on
 it's preserves tracts of these trees which were making vigorous growth. The white pine was delicate in it's infant stage and the State start ed it in nursery beds. MT. Spring ad- vised the planting of trees for timber and other purposes using for this pur- pose land good for nothing else. He said that in reproducing our woods we should make more use of seed lings, as second growth or growth from the stump, had a progressive lessening of vitality. Regarding the chestnut tree blight he said it was a fungus growth spread by birds and insects as the spores were too heavy from dampness to be carried by the wind. An infested tree could be treat ed so as to remove the disease, but of course such treatment on a large scale was impracticable and so, speaking in a commercial sense. there was no remedy for the disease. It did not however, injure the wood un- til the process of actual decay began and therefore he would advise chest nut grove owners not to be so un- duly scared as to sell the timber at a sacrifice,

Trial Package Sent Free to Prove It
 People whose faces are covered with pimples, liver spots, blotches and blackheads certainly have an awful time of it. They're always self-con- scious, always worrying about the bad impression they create among friends or strangers.
 There's nothing so Nnsightly as a face all broken out," yet it is a mat died. All you need to do is to clear the blood with the proper agents, and when the blood is pure the skin is clear. -'----~r
 Stuart's Calcium Waters contain as their main ingredient Calcium Sul- phide, the most thorough blood puri- fer known, Then there's little Quassia, Golden Seal and Eucalyptus just the things needed to put the blood in perfect conditionV7just the things every doctor prescribes hun dreds of times year for skin erup- tions and poor blood.
 Stuart's Calcium Waters work all most like magic-severe eases of skin eruptions have been known to disap- pear in five days. For pimples, black heads, acne, letter, eczema, bOils, spots and any skin eruption, you'll find them almost magical in their results; a few days time showing remarkable results.
 You can easily prove the truth of what we say about these wonderf"I Waters, for we will send you a trial and address. Address, F. A. Stuart Co.,, 175 Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.
