AFTER TWO YEARS
Mountain Home Testimony Remains
mistaken

Time Is the best test OF truth.
Here is a Mountain Home story that
has stood the test of time. 1t Is a
story with a point which will come
straight home to many Of US.
Mrs. Margaret Stinson, Mountain
Home, Idaho, says: II had back
ache and bearing-down pains in my
loins. l had tired feeling and my
limbs from my knees to my ankles
panied me. In cold weather my limbs
always felt numb. The kidney Sc
cretions bothered me. Doans Kid
ney Pills have greatly relieved these
troubles. Another Of my family has
also been benefited by them" Estate
ment given June IA, 1910)
A COMPLETE CURE
On October rs, 1912, Mrs. Stinson
said: Il wish to confirm my former
endorsement of Doan g Kidney Pills
and add that continued use cured me
Of kidney complaint. have been free
from that trouble and in good health
for nearly two years"

mean, perhaps, a saving of thous-
ands of dollars to our State, before
the close of the summer season.
feel that the schools can do no great
err work than to cooperate with the
State and national authorities In
their efforts to protect our forests.
In closing let me leave with you
these thoughts borrowed from an
other: "The young should plant trees
in recognition of the obligations they
owe to those who planted trees for
them. The old should plant trees to
illustrate their hope for the future,
and their concern for those who are
to come after them. The economist
should plant trees, especially In the
prairie country, and beautify the
landscape and ameliorate the sweep
of the north wind. And as we plant
trees on Arbor Day kindred feeling
to that experienced on the Fourth
of July should possess us. For the
time being we are in mind one peo-
pie, engaged in something to do good
to mankind

ARBOR DAY PRO-
CARNATIONS

In the hurry Of present day CONNER
cialism We are apt to give too lit
tie contemplation to the beauties OF
nature to the observance Of customs
and to the encouraging Of an in
terest in the finer things Of life.
A beautiful and commendable Gus
tom has grown up in the observance
of Arbor Day. The Legislature of
the State of Idaho has wisely pro-
vided for its observance by the
schools of the State. This is not, and
should not be, wholly confined to the
schools, A little time and effort
spent in planting trees, shrubs and
flowers will be rewarded a hundred
fold in the future.
In order that the day may be gener-
ally observed with fitting ceremonies
| would recommend that Friday, the
25th day of April, 1913, be designat-
ed as Arbor Day, and that the Coun-
ty Superintendent of Schools, as
far as possible, provide for the con-
duct of fitting exercises in the pub
lie schools of the State upon that
day. l would especially recommend
its observance by the general public.
In testimony whereof, | have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State to be affix-
ed.
Done at the Capitol, in the State
of Idaho, this twenty-fourth day of
March, 1918.

To the Teachers and School Officials
of Idaho:
Greeting-It again becomes my
duty and privilege to invite your at
tention to the observance of Arbor
Day. The lesson of the day is the
service and the value of the tree
in the life of the State and the ma
ton. AS the children of today are
to be the citizens of great tomor-
row, whose responsibilities and obi
cations to state and nation will be
greatly increased over those Of the
citizen of today, it behooves teach
ers and school officials so to OBJ
serve the day as to impress most
clearly and lastingly its lesson upon
the minds of the children in their
charge
Much of the States wealth is de-
rived from it's forests. wish to give
especial emphasis to the necessity OF
training children in the prevention OF
forest fires. A few minutes discus
sion of the general question of fire
protection with the pupils from time
