The problem of reforestation is being at
tackled from many sides. The Indiana conserva-
ton commission is urging farmers to plant trees
on land which is unfit for agricultural purposes.
Roadside memorial trees is another move
ment that rapidly has attained enthusiastic re-
ception over the entire country.
In some states where they are thousands of
acres of logged-off land, unsuited for farming
purposes and now thickly covered with brush
and weeds, efforts are under way to plant trees
for the purpose of supplying the coming genera
lions with timber supply.
Another phase of the question, also of great
Importance, is the safeguarding of the trees in
our parks and parking strips against the raw
ages of blight, scale and insects which threat
ening them. Many trees in Chicago are being
cut down now because they are infected with
scale.
More than so million acres of logged-off land
in eight states of the Middle West are to receive
careful attention. If these can be replanted with
trees suitable for commercial purposes, big step
will have been taken in the conservation of the
timber supply.
Fortunately the gravity of the problem was
appreciated in time so that public interest could
be aroused in time to conserve and prepare for
the future.
Trees are now looked upon one of our most
valuable possessions. Every tree that is planted
is a boon to the coming generation. 1t will serve
public need.

The Art Work of the Children

Many visitors to the public art gallery have
enjoyed the art work of the Richmond school
children which has been on display there. Pro
auctions from the grades surprised many par
ents who had little conception of the work which
the young artists of the city are doing:
Art and music have been taught in the Rich
mond schools for many years, and the result is
to be seen in the general love for the beautiful
which is being manifested.
In the development of music and art, the
schools must take the lead. Not every pupil
will become a musician or artist, but all of them
are better off for having knowledge of these
topics. Music and art cannot be classed with
some of the frills in the school system against
which some parents are objecting. They are cul-
tural attainments worth while developing.
The exhibit of the most meritorious produc-
tions of the pupils serves to encourage them in
obtaining proficiency in art work. The stimu-
lating effect of the display is reflected in the
increased interest of the pupils in their work.
Art displays of the pupils help to develop the
art work of the community.

PARADED IN WEDDING FlNERY
Peculiar Custom Of lghteenth-Cen.
tury New England Would Seem to
Put Premium on Vanity

An unusual custom In vogue in New
England in the Eighteenth century
which caused newly married couples
to appear at church on the four Sun
days following their union dressed in
all the bridal fnery they could get
together, is recorded by Edward j.
Morris in his book, The Psychology
of Dress"
This, Of course, stimulated a rival
ry between families, not likely to fur
ther the Puritan aim of modesty In
appearance. Those who could afford
it had four distinct sets of hnery, one
for each Sunday that there might
be no monotony for those who formed
the audience. In many communities
pew was set apart in which the brl-
dal pair was shown, SO that the CON
gregation knew just where to look
for the objects of interest.
These selected seats were often In
the gallery, sometimes the front pews
of the center aisle, and at times IN
other prominent places. The couple
generally arrived bit late, that the
observers might all be seated before
their arrival; then they walked slow
ly arm In arm to the assigned seats,
while the entire congregation gave
their hushcd and respectful attention.
At an appointed tlme generally just
before the sermon, the couple arose
and turned slowly around two or three
times, that every angle of their ap-
pcarauce might be viewed; they then
sat down.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
