WOMEN VOLUNTEERS

In stress and trouble the women of
nation are always to be counted
upon. In Servia the women went to
the front with muskets in their hands
they were as strong and brave as the
men on the firing line. In this country
few of our women escape the weak
ening troubles peculiar to their sex.
For every disease or ailment of q
womanly character, no matter how re-
cent or how long standing, the one
sure. reliable remedy of proved merit
is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
Women should never experiment
with unknown preparations; the risk
Is too great. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is prepared from natures
roots and herbs and does not contain
a particle of alcohol or any narcotic.
It's not a secret prescription, but its
ingredients are printed on the wrap
per.
Women are earnestly advised to
take it for irregular or painful per-
iods, backache, headache, displace-
ment, catarrhal condition, hot flashes
sallow complexion and nervousness.
For girls about to enter woman
hood. women about to become moth
ers and for the changing days of mid
die age DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton should always be on hand.
Any medicine dealer can supply II
in either liquid or tablet form. The
cost Is modest, the comparative bene-
fits truly remarkable. Write DR.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for free 13t
pake book on woman's diseases. Every
woman should have one.-Adv.

Trees furnish n of the most strik.
ing and permanent forms of beauty.
What stately grace, what fine proper
items, what variety of expression, and
what unconscious dignity may be seen
in a w~ell-developed tree. How they
beautify and glorify every landscape.
Trees improve the climate and on
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 falling that never failed before;
soil droughts are more sever 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 tho 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 8 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 hat draws down a more certain
or severe punishment than that OF
stripping the earth of all her trees

estry, Ohio State University.

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
ierent 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 1t 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 a 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, ever to a slight
extent above the usual amount found,
animals cannot live. Trees and other
plants prevent the carbonic acid from
accommodating in dangerous quantities
IN ordinary air. They do this by abb
sorbing this gas through their leaves.
1t Is their principal food. 1t makes
trees grow, for a little more han one
half of the trunks and branches of
every tree Is carbon, and this ali comes
from the carbonic acid from the air.
Trees supply a large part of all the
fuel in the world. The real wood Of
trees is of little OF no use as a food,
but 1t does largely serve to cook food
and serve as a protection against cold.
Even the coal dug from the earth, as
we'll 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 -four
ished before man existed or 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 sit down, it 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 1t Is in a 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
irkins, kegs or barrels made of wood
Wood is indispensable to our comfort
convenience and happiness.

First to Use Sewing Machine.

There, you are the first woman in
this world who ever took a stitch on
a sewing machine Howe said to
Miss Kilbourn when at his invitation
she tried the machine. Miss Elizabeth
Kilbourn, now over eighty years old,
was then a teacher in a private school
in New Hartford, and was interested
IN Elias Howe's inventive work. She
is at present i'll in a Connecticut hos
pital. Elias Howe was very poor in
those days and sharpened knives and
did odd jobs for a living in his base

sewing machine he went TO Bridge

Reuretted Lost lime.

French cUnvicts may earn large In
comes. The following is a case in
point: Pere la Capinette murdered a
man in a jealous passion a quarter of
a century ago, and was sent to New
Caledonia. A commission was recent
ly sent out to inspect the convict
prison and inquire into the govern
ment lands that are allotted to con-
victs who are released for good on
duct. They found Pere la C~apinette,
white-haired, benevolent, and veneer
able with his seventy years, surround
ed by his sons, whom he had brought
from France. He showed the commits
sioners over the coffee plantation on
which he had settled after his release.

TREES HAVE HUMAN TRAITS
They Possess Some of the Same Char
ac~teristics 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 hat belong
to people. The oak tree, because of ity
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 warlike.
The Lombardy poplar. which grows 30
tall. suggests precision. One Of these
trees standing by itself like q lone sem
tinel Is one of Natures most impres.
sivs sights.
