RIVER BOULEVARD
MEETS APPROVAL
Project Heartily Endorsed by
West Richmond Improve
ment Association.

1t is believed that there will be little
or no opposition offered by residents
of West Richmond to the construction
of the Riverside boulevard, the reso-
luton for which has been passed by
the board of public works.
At the meeting of the West Rich
mond Improvement association last
evening at the Baxter school building
the members of the organization again
went on record as unanimously in fav-
or of the proposed improvement. A
resolution was passed instructing the
civic beauty committee of the associa-
ton to meet with the board of public
works and to urge the board to make
the order for the construction as soon
as possible.
The boulevard will extend from the
Main street bridge to South E street.
According to the improvement reso-
luton passed by the board, the road
way will be macadamized, cement
sidewalks and curbing will be con-
structed on the west side of the drive
and fence will be erected on the east
side of the drive.
The opposition against billboards
throughout the city and on the West
Side in particular has been dropped as
far as the association is concerned as
nothing can be done to secure the
abolition of the boards.

TAXES AND TORTURE.
The Duke of Alva's "Tenth Penny"
That Caused Riots In Spain.

The Duke Of Alva's tenth Penny
That Caused Riots In Spain.
One of the most absurd and tyran-
meal measures of taxation that were
ever imposed upon a people was that
ordered by the despotic Duke of Alva,
prominent in the history Of Spain up
to 1852, when he died.
For six years he was governor gen.
eral Of the Netherlands and levied a
tax called the tenth penny" or 10
per cent, upon every article of mer-
chandise. to be paid as often as it
should be sold. He assessed real and
personal property 1 per cent. to be
paid instantly and collected once, and
on every transfer of realty he exacted
per cent.
Every one in the land, excepting
Alva himself, perceived how utterly
ridiculous a scheme it would prove,
but he persisted in enforcing the rule
The towns rebelled, and examples by
dozens were made of refractory sub
jects, who were tortured to death, but
to no purpose.
Finally Philip II, the Spanish king
was petitioned. and a temporary com
promise was effected by which the
towns were to pay 100000 an
nually for the two succeeding years
until August, 1911.

A WEAK WOMAN
AND Her STORY
In Floral, Ark, Lives a Lady Who
Feels That Her Strength Was
Restored by Cardui.

Floral, Ark.-T must speak a good
word for Cardui," writes Mrs. Viola
Baker, of this place.
"About a month ago was in very bad
health. was so weak and nervous that
was not able to do my homework.
"My husband bought me one bottle OF
Cardui, the Wonlan's tonic. took it &C
cording to directions and now | am in
good health.
81 think Cardui is fine tonic for weak
women"
And you are not the only lady who
thinks so, Mrs. Baker.
Thousands, like you, have written to
tell of the wonderful benefit Cardui has
been to them.
Cardui contains no minerals, or other
powerful drugs. 1t contains no glycerin
or other Misunderstanding ingredients.
1t is just a pure, natural extract, OF
natural vegetable herbs, that have been
found to regulate the Womanly functions
and strengthen the female system.
All druggists sell Cardui.
See yours about it.

Since then they have wandered around

In April and May When the
Sap Is Flowing the Trees
Bleed too Much and
Can't Take Paint.
BY JOHN r. THOMPSON.

The best time to trim trees is from
about midsummer until late in the
fall, or after their period of annual
gr1wth Most deciduous trees have
finished their growth both in height
and diameter in July. Early in March
is also a good time for this work. In
April and May when the sap is, flow
ing freely the fresh wounds bleed so
much that it is impossible to paint
them because the paint will not stick.
Whenever a fresh wound is made on
tree at any time of the year, it
should be covered with some kind of
,antiseptic to keep out fungus spores
which are being blown about by the
wind These fresh wet wounds are adj
mirable places for disease germs to
lodge in for they not only furnish a
place for them in which to grow, but
food as well.
Every tree is covered completely
with an epidermis, not only the trunk
and branches, but the leaves also;
| this is a protection against all sorts
of tree diseases and it is pretty safe
to say that iw this epidermis remains
intact or is kept SO, that a tree will
never become diseased and hence if
it becomes necessary to break this
| epidermis or if it is accidentally brok-
Ell, if false one is put over the
| wound until new one is formed the
| tree will be able to resist all attacks
| of fungus disease. There are a good
many ways in which the epidermis of
| ho IN Of he
cruelest and most unnecessary ways
| is for a man to climb the tree with
climbers on his feet. Great holes are
| punched in the trees trunk, every one
| of which becomes a point of attack
for disease germs. If a tree is a liv.
| ing thing it is a waste of words to
say that this does not do it damage.
But is is necessary to break the cpl
dermis sometimes as in the case o
pruning. When trees grow apart from
each other the lower limbs do not di,
as they do in the forest and henc,
some of them must be removed from
street trees.
In some cities tar is used to cove
| fresh wounds, but lead paint is s-s
as good and it is more convenient
| and besides one may get paint that i:
of the same color as the tree ant
when covered with it the wounds arr
not conspicuous.
There are two things at least tina
| one must know before he becomes {
| tree trimmer and the first is, how ;
| limb should be cut off, and second
what one should be removed. To cut
the top off tree is not trimming it
The best place to cut the top off a
tree is close to the ground. A tree
should be improved by trimming it.
not destroyed.
Large limbs over two inches in di
ameter should be removed with {

without leaves, what is there to keep
il alive. and heal the wound since il
gets nothing from below But IL il Is
cut close, the wound lies directly in
the path of the descending current OF
food in the branch from which it was
cut and the wound is thus readily heal
ed. II is true that water flows upward
from the roots to the leaves but wa
ter is not food and will not alone sus-
tain life.
Every one knows that IL a branch
is cut leaving a stump there will be a
lot of sprouts come out around the
wound. grow rapidly and produce q
new crop of leaves. The tree has
kind of dumb knowledge that it can
not get anything from below the
wound TO heal IL. so il tries TO put out
some new leaves to make food to heal
the wound or in other words the tree
is trying TO put back what was cut
away.
To find the place where a branch
may be cut off this is the rule: Follow
the brach back TO its origin and cut
il off close.
This is not the time of year to re-
move living branches but il is a good
time to remove dead ones because one
can tell where they are since they
have no leaves. There is nothing that
would more improve the appearance
of our trees Immediately than to have
all the dead branches cut out of the
trees. There are wagon loads of dead
wood in our living trees and this dead
stuff is not only unsightly but IL
! should be removed for the good of
the trees. These dead limbs ought TO
be cut clear back to the live wood and
| the wounds painted. This would not
only improve the appearance of the
trees but would give them a longer
| lease on life.
