lie importance OF trees to us az a nation Tho
american people have suddenly awakened to the
fact that not only Is the lumber supply of the
couhuy oeing exhausted at a dangerously rapid
rate with no prospect OF replenishing. but, worse
YET. the wanton waste OF our forests has a sequel
IN climatic changes that may mean hardship for
many citizens OF the republic. Indeed. some ex-
perts no 80 fr as to attribute to this cause the
terrific heat OF last summer and the approx.
mately exceptional cold of the past winter.
Tree Day would be quite as appropriate a
name rs Arbor Day for the spring holiday and a
notable feature of it's observance In the average
community consists In the planting of trees and
SHRUBS along roadsides and in other suitable
places In some Instances the work devolves. by
decree OF time-honored custom. upon magistrates,
local oficials or public spirited citizens. but for
the most part II ia In the hands OF the teachers
not TOO much to say that Arbor Day. like sew
erai other of the spring festivals. is primarily a
young peoples holiday.
For all that most communities observe Arbor
Day in April. the fact remains that 1t is a NOV.
able festival. and there are some sections of the
country where. owing to the climate. 1t Is desir-
able to have the tree planting exercises at some
other time OF year. In a majority of our states
the date for Arbor Day Is either selected by the
state legislature or by the governor OF the state
acting under legislative authority. Usually. SUI
perintendents OF schools supplement the guberna.
torial on the subject of Arbor Day
by the issuance Of open letters bearing upon the
aim and object Of the holiday and with due ref
erence to the lessons It teaches.
The state of Nebraska gets credit for original
ing Arbor Day. for II was the pioneer in what
has become a national movement. The individ-
aal who was the original author of the scheme
was none other than Mr.. j. Sterling Morton, who
aftcrward became Secretary OF Agriculture In the
Cabinet Of President Cleveland during the lat.

Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
It helps to refresh the worn-out ner-
vous system and relieves the effects OF
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years successful use fully
prove the merit of this purely yege-
table, tonic remedy for women.
In every community, there live some
who have been benefited by Cardui.
The beneficial effects OF this time
