COST OF LIVING is TARGET
Arbor Day Annual Shows How to
Cut Expenses by Observance
of Conservation Rules.

Madison. Arbor and Bird
day and Fire Prevention day may
help reduce the high cost of living
is the lesson sought to be brought
home to Wisconsin school children
and others in the Arbor day annual
issued by the department Of public
instruction. The annual is for the
first time JOINED with the fire pre-
vention cause.
"If we knew the amount savable
annually by wise forestry policy in
reducing the cost of wood as raw
material in manufacturing indus
tries" says the editor, o. 8. Rice,
''in lessening the cost of water pow
er, and in lowering transportation
charges on bulky commodities; If We
knew the amount of annual loss to
agriculture by insect pests which will
be prevented by protection Of bird
life; and if We then were able to
add to these amounts the 100000
600 of preventable fire loss, We
should have total annual saving of
certainly not less than $1,000, 000,-
600 and possibly several times that
amount.
IF this saving were equitably dis
tributed, there would be a substan-
tial reduction In the cost of living
for all"

Madison. - Universities generally

to the theory of looking after the
interests of the one in ten or fifteen
who already have college diplomas
than Is any other state institution
with which am acquainted Univer-

Importance of post graduate study
and research work.
The curse of American educa-
tion," he continues, lis the Phi. D.,

only by remaining at a university

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change of life" is most
critical period in woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of sutfocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia <. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.
