10000 CATALPA TREES TO
BE DISTRIBUTED TODA Y
,.,..,.,..................


talpa (catalpa speciosa) was restricted to
a limited area in the Wabash valley.
When the early railroads of Indiana and
southern Illinois We're first constructed
large numbers of eatalpa crossties and
telegraph poles were used. The trees were
cut directly out of their native forests.
Many of the crossties and telegraph poles
are in perfect condition today.
During the past half century 1t has
been distributed to all parts of the world.
1t is remarkable to what range of To-
calities the catalpa speeiosa can adapt
itself; what a variety of soil it accepts,
and what changes of temperature the tree
can survive, whether surrounded by the
slashes of the Wabash or the arid deserts
of Utah and the western plains with water
artificially applied From Maine to Mex
leo and across the continent from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. the catalpa
speciosa does well as along the creeks
and bayous of the Wabash river"
The planting of 10000 new trees in Bir-
mingham is considered the most progress
sive step recently taken in the furtherance
of the city beautiful idea, and is attract
ing wide attention among officials and
the children of the schools.

How American Women
May Keep Faces Young

The American smart woman ages
early, far earlier than the English wo-
man." says Christian Miller. +. 9. l., the
famous English health expert. She adds
THAT our climate 80 exhilarates that you
over-ex exert yourselves and grow old be-
fore you know it. That same exfilarat-
ing air dries the skin. The skin tina t
lacks moisture grows pale and withered
looking and soon forms wrinkles.
"The American complexion" is best
treated by applying pure mercolized
wax, which causes the faded, lifeless
cuticle to flake off in minute particles,
little each day, until the fresh young
skin beneath is wholly in evidence.
Every druggist has this wax; one ounce
is sufficient. Spread ON at night like
cold cream, washing it off next morn
ling
For wrinkles, dissolve an ounce of
powdered saxolite in a half pint witch
hazel, battle the face In this. lmme-
ldiately every wrinkle Is affected, even
the deeper lines. Both treatments are
remarkable facial rejuvenators.
