TREES HAVE HUMAN TRAITS
They Possess Some Of the Same Char
aeteristlcs That Belong to
People.

Trees have the power of suggesting
thoughts and feelings. These thoughts
and feelings are attributes OF people.
In other words, trees are sometimes
thought Of as being possessed OF some
OF the same characteristics that belong
to people. The oak tree. because OF its
size and shape OF limbs, suggests
strength. The elm tree symbolizes
grace and beauty. The birch is some
times called the Lady of the Forest"
Some trees are weeping, some gay,
some quiet and retiring. Some, such
as the sycamore. are ghostlike. Others.
like the honey locust, because OF the
great array OF thorns, appear warllke.
The Lombardy poplar. which grows 40
tall suggests precision. One OF these
trees standing by itself like lone SEN
tinel is one OF Natures most impress
sive sights.

SCOURGE IS STILL DEADLY
Claims Of "Cure" for Consumption
Have Not Been Verified by Sclen-
tifc Authorities.

In spite of the statements of n num-
Der of individuals who have recently
claimed that they have found n cure
for consumption, the National Associ-
alton for the Study and Prevention OF
Tuberculosis, the highest authority on
this disease in America, declares that
there is no information at hand to JUS
tify the belief that any specific cure
for tuberculosis has been discovered
which deserves the confidence of the
medical profession and the people,
Backing up these statements, the
United States pubic health service
declares that outside of the three es-
sentials in the treatment of consump-
tion, namely, rest. fresh air, and good
food. There is no drug known. how
ever rare or expensive 1t may be, that
has any curative action in this disease,
and all remedies advertised as such
are to be avoided Patent cough med.
icines are harmful: redum, N-rays or
electricity in any of its form have no
special value in tuberculosis of the
lungs. No serum has yet been found
that will cure II, and there Is no plas-
ter or poultices which has any effect

Land Leasing Condemned by Stockmen

Denver. - The Colorado Stock
growers Association adopted resolu-
tions condemning the governments
land-leasing bills now pending in Con
gress. and favoring changes in the
laws which will permit of the fullest
use of the public ranges without inter
fering with the development of the
state.
A. A. Jones' first assistant secretary
of the Interior, intimated that the de-
partment was not satisfied with the
grazing bill. He declared that the
public lands had been set aside es.
sentially for the creation of homes
and that he was strongly adverse to
letting ont large areas for long leases
to individuals.
The cattlemens district organiza.
ton. Fred p. Johnson, secretary OF
the state organization, said that he
believed the smaller organizations
would stand solldly against the pres.
ent program These associations, he
said, are formed mostly of the smaller
stock raisers who fear that the
leasing Of public lands in large areas
viii aid in establishing monopolles
which mny ultimately cmbarrass their
business.
The convention closed with the
election Of officers. Three Of the four
executives were reelected Frank D.
Squler Of Rifle president; NJ. j, Nc.
Millin Of Lamar, vice president, and
Fred p. johnson Of Denver. secretary.
Arnold Powell Of Yampa succeeded J.
y. Adams Of Denver as treasurer on

Trees furnish one of the most strik
ing and permanent forms of beauty.
What stately grace, what fine proper
tons, what variety Of expression, and
what unconscious dignity may be seen
In a well-developed tree. How they
beautify and glorify every landscape
Trees improve the climate and con-
serve soil and water. Although the in
fuence of trees and forests on climate
is not definitely known, the effect of
an all too reckless destruction is be-
ginning to be felt. Springs and streams
are failing that never failed before;
soil droughts are more severe and pro-
tracted. Untimely frosts are more
ruinous to all the more delicate fruits,
and wind storms are more damaging
than in former years.
Trees furnish safe shelter and
natural resting places for birds. Birds
are the best allies we have In fighting
insects, but the removal of the forests
has greatly lessened the number of in
sect-eating birds. Trees furnish a
great variety Of miscellaneous, useful
products, such as fruits, nuts, sugar,
honey, tannin. pitch. turpentine, dyes
and medicines.
AS the only source Of wood supply,
trees touch the welfare of every man,
woman and child, but their influence
goes much farther 1t underlies the
great questions Of soil preservation
and soil fertility; the use and control
of rivers and streams; the water sup
ply of towns and cities. In short, CIV
ilization and progress are based largely
on trees. There is no crime against
nature that draws down a more certain
or severe punishment than that of
stripping the earth of all her trees

The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend so
much on the good digestion of each

gard them as of little use, If not
actual enemies. A little study will
reveal some of the things that trees
do. Animals grow and become larger
This Is due to the food they eat
Trees also grow, but they use differ
ent food, and take it in quite a diff
ferent way. They live upon mineral
matter-that is, air, water and soil,
which they change into their own
substance. By gradual addition Of new
material, trees become larger and
larger each year. for growth is simply
the increase Of a living thing in size
and substance.
Trees help to keep the air pure for
man and the lower animals. How do
they do this? The element Of the air
that makes 1t fit for breathing is a gas
called oxygen. About one-fifth of the
volume of the air is oxygen, and at
every breath animals take in some of
this oxygen and change it into carbonic
acid gas. In other words, the oxygen
Is breathed in. combines with the car
bon in the blood and this makes car
bonic gas, which is breathed out into
the air in place Of the oxygen taken in.
There is small amount Of carbonic
acid gas in the air everywhere, and at
all times; the usual amount is about
one part in every $500 parts of air.
This carbonic acid is unfit for the
breathing Of animals, and wherever it
increases in the air, even to slight
oil hn
animals cannot live. Trees and other
plants prevent the carbonic acid from
accommodating in dangerous quantities
in ordinary air. They do this by alb
sorbing this gas through their leaves.
1t Is their principal food. 1t makes
trees grow. for little more than one
half Of the trunks and branches of
every tree is carbon, and this all comes
from the carbonic acid from the air.
Trees supply large part of all the
fuel in the world. The real wood OF
trees Is Of little or no use as food
but 1t does largely serve to cook food
and serve as a protection against cold
Even the coal dug from the earth, as
well as the coal and gas now so gen.
orally used for fuel. come from the
vegetable matter and are largely the
remains of trees in forests that flour
ished before man existed on earth.
Trees give us wood, and wood fur
nishes building material. furniture,
implements, utensils, tools and other
useful things in great variety. Wood
Is one of the necessities of life. We
are rocked in cradles made of wood:
when we cit down. 1t is in chairs or
benches Of wood; every day we eat
from wooden tables; the papers and
books that We read and study are
printed on paper made from wood;
whenever we ride out It is in wagon,
carriage or car made largely OF wood
More than one-half OF the houses in
the world are built of wood and the
other half use wood for doors, floors
and other interior parts nearly all
barns are made of wood We ship our
fruits. vegetables and many other
products in baskets. barrels and crates
made OF wood; we pack our butter
and pork, and buy our nails and salt in
firkins. kegs or barrels made Of wood
, Wood is indispensable to our comfort,
convenience and happiness
