ANOTHER QUESTION OF VALUE
While Court Sets Price Of $500 on Full
Grown Tree Nothing ls Said
About Man.

A New York court has declared that
a full-grown tree is worth $500, \and
that amount of damage for the wanton
destruction of the same in front Of a
city residence has been collected. He
who plants a tree not only makes a
contribution to the comfort Of men
and the beauty of the world, but a
valuable contribution to the wealth Of
the community.
What about the destruction OF a
man, of a home, of the moral stamina
of a community or nation? No one
will deny that the well-born boy or
girl Is a valuable contribution to the
race and to the world, or that the eco
nomic worth Of a full-grown manly
man, or womanly woman, is at least
$500. What then OF the policy which
permits not merely the destruction OF
such, but the making Of him, or Of her
an actual burden to the community
and a menace to the social well-being

Pe-ru-na Is a better remedy for some
conditions than Ka-tar-no. They are
both intended as catarrh remedies.
They have both done a great work In
relieving catarrh, chronic and acute.
Many hundreds of cases Of chronic
catarrh have recovered while taking
Ka.tar.no and the same is true OF the
revised Peru-na during the last six
years since It's revision.
There Is a difference, however, In
the two remedies. Whenever catarrh
is associated with constipation then
the revised Pe-ru-na is the best. In.
deed, this is exactly why the revision
was 'aade, to meet such cases. But
where no laxative is needed, where the
bowels are regular or inclined TO be

open Air Schools Grow In Favor,

OHEU MT oEHlNin AF0W ~ aHhfs
With the opening Of the fall school
term, over 200 open air schools and
fresh air classes for tuberculous, and
anaemic children, and also for all chill
dren In certain rooms and grades, will
be in operation In various parts Of the
United States, according to the Nation
al Association for the Study and Pre-
vention Of tuberculosis, All Of these
schools have been established since
January, 1907, when the first lnstitu-
ton OF this character was opened in
Providence, r. /. On January 1st,
1910, there were, only 10 open air
schools in this country and year
later the number had increased only
to 30. Thus, the real growth in this
movement has been within the last
two years. Massachusetts now leads
the states with Sc fresh air schools
and classes for tuberculous, anaemic
and other school children, Boston
alone having over so, New York comes
next with 20, and Ohio is third with
21. Open air schools have now been
established in nearly 80 cities in 10
different states.

ITCHING, BURNING ECZEMA

917 s. Wolfe St., Baltimore, Md
"My trouble was caused by a severe
sprained ankle; the bruised blood not
having been drawn off caused skin
affection which the doctors pro-
nounced eczema. 1t first started with
an itching and burning, with very dry
skin. Constant scratching, especially
during the night finally broke the
skin, and during the day the watery
fluid that came from it would dry and
peel off like fish scales. My stocking
would stick to my ankle as If 1t were
glued. l also had it on my fingers.
II was treated without getting any
benefit. l began using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment as directed and then ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment and bound
the ankle with a soft bandage, after
bathing it with Cuticura Soap. They
cured me in about two months.
