TREES MUST BE PROTECTED

Little Hope That They Can

Trees die from many causes, but few
indeed die from the top downward.
bbably far less than 1 per cent. A
Tee may starve or die Of thirst, but
the great majority die from disease,
few succumb primarily to ravages Of
insects or other pests, though these
materially aid in Fastening death.
FUNGUS disease Is the most potent
factor in the destruction Of large trees.
The much-dreaded and fatal disease Of
the chestnut now ravagfng some east

sionally find q huge oak which sudden

Unitarian Wedding Gifts.

Some of the wedding gifts that are
shown to visitors were SO expensive
and seemingly so useless that l asked
about them. Some were in the form OF
great fish, made of bright red crepe,
and some were ships of happiness Mt
ted out with sails Of gold brocade. As
l had never seen these bright grotes-
queries in Japanese homes, ] wondered
how they were used. The ship, with
it's flowing sails, is entirely constructed
Of precious silks and satins, not cur,
but simply basted together, so tnss
when the delicate compliment or :
ship Of happiness has served Its pur-
pose ~ a wedding decoration. It = IN
pasted and the fine crepe and brocadsd
uilk are made up into . rich costume

Peanuts f6r consumptives.

A diet Of peanuts is suggested as r
cure for consumption by DR.. BreV 81
in the Journal of Hygiene. This seefnS
too simple to be true, but Doctor Brew.
er tells Of two young women who had
grown, sick Of cod-liver oil and tonics
and who were treated by him with salt
ed peanuts-all they could eat-com-
bined with inhalatiOns Of vinegar. =
zone would think this very indi-
gestible diet" he writes, "but they
craved them, and it has always been
my policy to find out just what my pa
tients desire to eat, and unless 1t Is too
unreasonable, / humor them. Both
young ladies have become plump, ana
after one years inhalation have ceased
coughing, and pronounced them
cured"
Peanuts are recommended also for
sleeplessness.

ARCADE SUNDAY

Captain Ford, U. S. A., is sent
down South to trail gang of moon
sinners. Jefferson Gwynne, low
able, but rather hot-headed yong
Southerner, believes Ford is aiding
negroes in their political fight
against the Whites; and as Ford is
compelled to keep his mission secret,
Gwynne conceives violent dislike
to his agitator, as he believes Ford
to De, and makes no pretense OF
concealing his aversion.
Georgia Gwynne, Jefferson's
charming young sister, on the other
hand, is strongly attracted to the
young Northerner, and after he
saves her in q runaway accident,
their friendship develops rapidly, to
the dismay of Paul Fitzhugh, Geo.
rgia's cousin, WHO is very much in
love with her.
When Georgia refuses Paul's offer
of marriage, he bitterly accuses her
of being in love with the strange
agitator, but she ignores his re-
marks, and he goes, angry. .
jefferson, moved by 'boyish pas
sion, accuses Ford Of stirring up the
negroes to vote against the Whites.
Ford tries to quiet the excited boy,
but his calmness only tends to heigh-
ten Jefferson's anger, and drawing
Ford's swords from his scabbard, he
begins to fight.
Ford defends himself with piece
of wood, scuffle ensues, and
Jeffersan falls wounded. Ford
rushes to the house for assistance.
While he is gone, Sampson, a ne
gro, political leader who hates the
Gwynnes, steals up, and seeing the
wounded boy, and the sword lying at
his side, is possessed of Economical
idea. He seizes the sword and plung-
es it into the boys body.
Captain Ford, coming up with
Georgia, her father and others is
overcome to find jefferson. dead.
Circumstantial evidence points to
him as the crimial, and despite his
vehement protest of innocence, he
is lead away to prison. Georgia
alone believes in him and comforts
him with her assurance Of faith.
Paul, who has seen Sampson stab
the boy, and knows therefore that
Ford is innocent, is torn by conflict
ing emotions. But his hatred for
his rival, and his desire to get him
~ of the way proves stronger than

WOULD CONSERVE PINE SUP.
PLY FOR USE OF
GOVERNMENT

New Orleans, La, April 2nd.-In
furtherance of its campaign for mo-
bilizing the yellow pine industry to
meet the war demands of the nation,
the Southern Pine Association has
suggested to the Federal Shipping
Board that representatives of the
board and Of the lumber interests
meet here at an early date. It is ex-
pected that if such a conference is
held definite steps will be taken for
the organization of corporations to
cooperate with the government in
providing adequate facilities for the
speedy construction Of a giant fleet
of wooden merchantships such as is
declared necessary to insure a prom
pit and adequate supply Of food
stuffs to the country's allies abroad.
All that is asked Of the Shipping
Board is that assurances be given of
a business adequate to warrant the
lumber intereste in making the ex-
penditures necessary in providing
the facilities demanded.

easily taken and so welcome that sus- tainlng foods may be thus given to those suffering from various causes. In illness the attending physician should be consulted as to the kind of drink to give, as serious results often happen from unwise judgment. one young man lost his life by taking drink of grape juice when he was well past the crisis in typhoid fever, ac- cording to the testimony of his fam fly. One cannot use too great care In treatment of convalescence. Bever- ages as well as everything else pre- pared for the invalid should be pre- sented in the most acceptable form. Even well trained housemaids fail 10 give the right touch to foods The thin glass, the pretty plate, the dolly which accompanies a well prepared and cooling drink is very important.
 Acid drinks made from fruit juices are especially refreshing 10 fever pa- tients. Lemon and orangeade are the most commonly used, as these fruits are found everywhere. Other fruits may be used separately or in com bination with others. as raspberry and entrants. form a most delightful shrub. to bottle for winter use. Lemonade made in the usual way and to which 8 quarter of cupful of grape juice is added makes a most refreshing drink. A half cupful of pineapple juice or grated pineapple gives variety to glass of lemonade. A pinch of soda added to lemonade. stirring it thorough ly, will be a good substitute for effer- vescing water.
 Egg lemonades are sO well known that 1t hardly seems worth while to speak of them, yet they are very vaiu- able. An egg may be digested this way and given often when other food will be refused. There are other drinks like cocoa, chocolate and albuminous beverages which are all cooling and nourishins as well.

Tanlac has done a hundred times more than expected of It." said Mrs. N. A. Bishop, of Roswell. Ga.. flor I've laid my crutches aside and am actually doing all my own housework."
 'I was cripple with rheumatism for long time and for three years had to use crutches to get about on. had severe pains in my hips and the small of my back and for years l hadn't been able to do any of my house work to amount to anything. 1 lost my appetite and things didn't taste right nor agree with me, and I was constipated and had to be taking some thing for 1t constantly.

Church Ia Home for Cats.

The sacristy in the church of San Lorenzo in Florence, built by Michael Angelo in 1522 as a mausOleum for the Medici family. adjoins a cloister that is almost entirely devoted to cats. It contains square light arches leap ing from column to column. with the customary campanile towering far above 1t. inhabited by pure white doves. Between the columns of the cloister Is a parapet and beyond 1t a moat four to five feet in depth. And this moat, backed by all the columns and the parapet surrounds a kind of island terrace. quite out of reach of everybody. That island is the king dom of cats. as many as choose to colonize there and as is usually the case with cats. their name is legion. They are fed regularly through the charity of sor'eone who long ago left . legacy for tAsir maintenance.

 Lemon DumpIings.-Mix two cup fcls of bread crumbs with quarter of a pound of finely chopped suet. add half a cupful of brown sugar, a little salt and the grated rind of a lemon. Moisten with two well-beafen eggs and the juice of a lemon: mix well and put into small buttered moids, cover with buttered paper and steam one hour. Turn them out on a hot dish, sift over them little sugar and serve with a custard sauce.
 Farina Oumpiings.-Put a cupful of milk into a double boiler, add two ta- blespoonfuls of butter and pinch of salt: when it begins to boil stir in enough farina to thicken and allow it to cook for ten minutes. stirring all

three of the steak bones, with proper chopped celery or parsley, this dish may be varied in several ways and still prove good. Tomato sauce Is another well-liked combination. also. The macaroni should be cooked until tender. then place a layer of 1t in q buttered baking dish. then sprinkle over 1t little chopped onion and bits of meat. or two or three hard-cooked eggs, then generous covering of white sauce. and if the eggs are used, little cheese adds to the flavor, hut with meat this is not needed.
 Bean Fricassee.-Boil a pound of lima beans or simmer them until ten der. as boiling is not advisable for dried beans. Drain them. Brown a tablespoonful of butter in pan and add the beans. stirring until thorough ly seasoned. Add little minced parsley, salt and pepper. Stir in a cupful of cream or milk and let it stew for n few minutes; then season with mushroom or tomato catchup and a little vinegar.
 Rice Espanoi.-Cook q cupful of rice In a cupful of actively boiling water for 15 minutes, then drain. Slice two medium-sized onions, two green pep pers and two cupfuls of stewed toma- toes. Put the mixture in a buttered baking dish. add salt and pepper. sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake covered for 20 minutes
 Nut loaf.-Take a pint of bread crumbs, and mix well with two table spoonfuls of melted butter; add tea spoonful of salt. half cupful of nut meats, dash of pepper and some poultry dressing, with two eggs beaten light. Form into loaf and bake in a shallow pan a half hour. Serve with tomato sauce.
 Rice served hot with grated cheese makes a good substitute for potatoes, and buttered rice with minced parsley will take the place of parsley potatoes.
 Cucumbers are usually served fresh and crisp. but are excellent when stewed or baked. A well-seasOned cream sauce or Hollandaise is espe- cially good with the cooked cucum- Der.
 Cheese Is most nutritiye food which we are slow to appreciate. As a meat substitute it has no equal, being concentrated food without waste.

uon, lack of assimilation of food and clogged condition of the alimentary canal.
 The value of bran and whole-wheat bread is not appreciated by one in ten thousand. The portion If the. wheat which contains the mineral matter. the growth determinant" about which we are hearing so much these days, are sifted out and fed to the farm animals.
 Those who have indigestion should not combine acid fruits or foods of any kind containing acid with starch. as this causes fermentation. To eat food which Deeds long chewing Is very ad- vantageous; sloppy. soft foods encour- age bad habits in mastication. The starchy foods need to be well mixed with the saliva in order to have a per- feet digestion. Starch that has not been well insalivated sets up ferrenta ton in the stomach. Whole wheat bread is more solid than white bread, hence it is better masticated and the saliva penetrates the starch cells. The use of vegetable oils for shortening in- stead of animal fats is also an advan- tnge. as the heat does not affect them as it does such fats. as butter or lard.
 Take a spoonful of bran in your breakfast food. you will not know 1t is there, and you have presented your stomach and intestines with a splendid scrub brush which will clean and heal any infiamed section of the aIimentary canal. It Is never wise to change a diet entirely and suddenly unless under a physicians orders. fo. habit is a hard master. Going with out a meal or two each week is . good custom, and economical. This will apply to well nourished and pluh,p people who have plenty of reserve. Fasting and prayer should not be a forgotten privilege. as 1t so commonly has been in the near past.
