HOW TREES CURE SICK PEOPLE

In an article on "The Friendly
Summer Trees" in the July Wom-
ans Home Companion, Frank A.
Waugh, professor of horticulture IN
Massachusetts Agricultural college,
says in part:
"In Germany one finds all KINDS
of cures. Every enterprising town
has one. Often the cure house Is
the finest public building in the
city. A German talks of going to
his cure as an American of going
TO his vacation. There are milk
cures and mud cures. wind cures
and water cures, mountain cures
and surf cures but my choice Is
the forest cure. Not only does II
best please my personal taste. put
| notice that it gets the most serious
cases-those where radical ana
heroic cures are needed. First OF
all there are the tuberculosis pat
tents strewn about on their cots
under the pungent shades of the
black forest as about DR.. Trudeau
camp in the Adirondacks. Then
there are the devotees of induces
tion and the nervous wrecks, bll-
ious. alcoholic and society wrecks,
drug fiends. bridge fiends. ana
everybody; that is. everybody VINO
can spend the time and money 10
come hither for the forest cure
Naturally in Germany. as in Amer
lea. folks who have to work ana
support families cannot AFFORD 10 pc
cured. They can't even AFFORD inc
disease in the first place.
at Is curious how friendly taS
forests are to sick and discouraseu
people. The trees reach out 'neii
arms to shelter them. IN the sun
ness of the morning and through the
long nights they whisper reassur-
ingly to everyone who listens.

Does Greeley want to have .

It's easy. Through General Traf-
&c Manager Martin of the Denver,
Laramie & Northwestern railroad
1t is learned that we can have this
superb musical organization for q
couple OF concerts at any time We
care to send them an invitation

liberality in the matter by offering
to transport the musicians both
ways free, SO there is left but the
matter of supplying three meals and
bed for each of the Is band mem-
bers.
1t has been suggested that Satur-
day, August 10, would be con-
venient date foI such an engage
ment, the band coming up on the
Laramie motor, arriving at 1880.
and give a concert in the park dur
ing the noon hour, when out of town
visitors might make of the occasion
a basket picnic, and later have the
afternoon for the transaction of
such business as farmers always
have when coming to town. An
other concert could then be given at
s O'Clock Saturday evening, and the
band return on the Sunday morning
train.
The Fort Logan band Is said to
be superb organization. Like all
post bands Its members have plenty
of time to practice, and being in
government employ are not allowed
to accept compensation for their
services from towns or private in

and his crew, who had been sent to
destroy piracy, had themselves be-
come pirates and were holding up and
robbing merchant ships. This news

Many people even limited that Bello-

who received them with horror-real
or assumed-and who, In 1888, or
dered every British port to be on the
lookout for Kidd's capture.
Meanwhile the "well-beioved" Eidd.
cruising the Spanish Main, heard OF
the plan to arrest him. Leaving his
large ship near Hayti, he fastened
northward in a sloop laden with 3T0-
900 worth of treasure and with a crew
of forty. He touched at Oyster Bay.
L. l., sent for New York lawyer and
opened negotiations with Bellomont.
It is supposed Bellomont sent word
that the captain had nothing to fear
for Kidd landed and went on July 1,
1893, to Boston to talk matters over.
There Bellenont arrested him and
packed him on to England to stand
trial. Then the company sent to the
pirate slooD and seized the treasure.
As Kidd had started out to do such
great things the public grew to be-
lieve that $4,000 could not represent
all his plumber and that he must have
buried part Of the treasure. There 10
no reason for thinking 80 Yet the
rumor has lived for over 200 years.
Kidd. meantime. was placed on trial
In England. He denied that he had
ever consented to be pirate and said
his crew had bullied him into It. He
could not be convicted Of piracy, even
by a court which for some mysterious
reason rushed his trial through with
suspicious haste and lack Of justice.
But he was found guilty OF having
killed a mutinous sailor named WILL
lam Moon by hitting him over the
| head with bucket. For this crime
Kidd was condemned to death. He
was hanged on May "a, 1701. with
nine Of his crew, at Execution Dock,
! London.
To this day It cannot be definitely
known whether Captain Kidd was a
harmless old man, threatened into un.
willing piracy by a mutinous crew, or
whether he was the blackguard ac-
complete Of band Of financiers who
used him for their own ends and then
disowned him. The haste and injus.
tice Of his trial led some to think his
speedy execution was needed to hush
pirate scandal that would have IN
volved some of the highest names In

4 HARMLESS WAY To
DARKEN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur
Makes Gray Hair Vanish-A
Remedy forAII HairTroubleS.

Who does not know the value of Sage
and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark,
soft and glossy and in good condition ?
AS a matter of fact, Sulphur is a
natural element of hair, and deficiency
of it in the hair is held by many scalp
specialists to be connected with loss of
color and vitality of the hair. I'm
questionably, there is no better remedy
for hair and scalp troubles, especially
premature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, if properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal preparation
of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and
Sui hur are combined with other valu-
able remedies for keeping the hair and
scalp in clean, healthy condition.
If your hair is losing its color or
constantly coming out, or if you are
troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur from your druggist,
use it according TO the simple directions,
and see what difference a few days
treatment will make in the appearance
of your hair.
All druggists sell it, under guarantee
that the money viii be refunded if the
remedy IL not exactly as represented.

A Moroccan Solomon.

Mulai Hafid's grandfather, we learn
from a Paris contemporary, left this
world with the renown of a just man.
His legal enactments are still remem-
bered, for he had a way of impressing
upon his subjects the distinction of
"meum" and ''tuum." One law dating
from 1870 was to the effect that any
one who should touch the goods of an
other should be beheaded. One of his
subjects presented himself before the
sultan, saying: Your majesty is al
ways obeyed. A traveller ut my inn de-
parted leaving behind him a sack of
nuts, and no one has daredsto approach
them" How do you know" demand
ed Mohammed, that the sack contain
ed nuts?" Your majesty" replied the
subject. Il just touched the sack with
my foot" All" replied the just man

age, BE it so. In view of your intsn-

wealth 10 dozens of captains who
are today forgotten. A doggerel song
C"My Name Was Captain Kidd, as
Salied") and the foolish belief that he
buried vast treasures somewhere near
New York are the two things that
have made Kidd immortal.
In the latter part OF the seven
teenth century the American coasts
swarmed with pirates who spoiled sea
commerce and blocked travel. King
William III. Of England sent Lord
Bellomont to New York as governor,
with orders to stamp out piracy.
Bellomont liked the idea of combin-
ing duty with profit. So, with Robert
Livingston and other rich, shrewd
New Workers, he formed a company
to make money out Of crushing the
pirates. A powerful warship was TO
be fitted out and sent against the
freebooters. They and their plumber
were to be seized, and the profits of
the enterprise divided between the
company and the king.
Next, Bellomont and Livingston
looked about for the right sort Of man
to captain their warship. Livingston
suggested a right worthy and honest
mariner" William Kidd by name.
Kidd was the son Of Scotch clergy

My mother was Just the sane

have not had any coffee in the house
for two years and we all are we'll.
"A neighbor of mine, great cof-
fee drinker, was troubled with pains
in her side for years and was an
invalid. She was not able to do her
work and could not even mend
clothes or do anything at all where
she would have to bend forward If
she tried to do a little hard work
she would get such pains that she
would have to lie down for the rest
of the day.
I persuaded her at last to stop drink
ing coffee and try Postum, and she did
so, and she has used Postum ever
since; the result has been that she can
do her work can sit for whole day
and mend and can sew on the machine
and she never feels the least bit of
pain in her side. In fact, she has got
