At first thcro appeared red, hard pimples which Inter contained whlto matter. I suffered a great deal caused by tho itching. I was in a stnto of perplexity when walking tho streets or anywhero before tho public. "I used pills and other remedies but they failed completely. I thought of giving up when nothing would help, but something told mo to try tho CutI cura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a Cuticura Booklet which I read care fully. Then I bought somo Cuticura Soap nnd Ointment and by following tho directions I was relieved in a fow days. I used Cuticura Soap for wash ing my face, and applied tho Cuticura Ointment morning nnd evening. This treatment brought marvelous results so I continued with it for a fow weeks and was cured completely.

Tho American people have suddenly awakened to the fact that not only is tho lumber supply of tho country boing exhausted at a dungerously rapid rate, with no prospect of replenishing, but, worse yet, tho wanton waste of our forests has a sequel In climatic changes that may mean hardship for many citizens of the republic. Indeed, somo ex perts go so far as to attribute to this cause tho terrific heat of last summer and tho approxi mately exceptional cold of tl o past winter. "Tree Day" would bo qul'e as appropriate a name ns Arbor Day for tho fi ring holiday and a notable feature of its obsen.uico In the overage community consists in the p'anttng of trees and shrubs along roadsides and In other sultablo places. In somo "instances the work devolves, by decrco of time-honored custom, upon magistrates, local officials or public-spirited citizens, but for the most part it Is In tho hands of the teachers and pupils of public and private schools. It Is not too much to say that Arbor Day, like sev eral other of tho spring festivals, is primarily a young people's holiday. For all that most communities observe Arbor Day In April, the fact remains that It is a mov able festival, and there aro some sections of the country where, owing to the climate, It Is desir able to havo tho tree planting exercises at some other time of year. In a majority of our states tho date for Arbor Day Is either selected by the state legislature or by the governor of the state acting under legislative authority.' Usually, su perintendents jof schools supplement the guberna torial proclamations on tho subject of Arbor Day by the Issuanco of open letters bearing upon the aim and object of tho holiday and with duo ref erence to the lessen", It teaches. The state of Nebraska gets credit for originat ing Arbor Day, for It was tho pioneer In what ' has become a national movement. Tho Individ ual who was tho original author of tho scheme wus none other than Mr. J. Sterling Morton, who nfterward became Secretary of Agriculture In the Cabinet of President Cleveland during tho tat Hurt Her Womanly Fair American Would Not "Stand for" I Ing his heels Time-Honored Custom of House whllo tho f Lords. ter's second term In the Whlto House. It was In 1872 that Mr. Morton conceived tho idea ot this unique holiday and ho forthwith introduced be fore tho Nebraska State Board of Agriculture of which he was a member, a resolution setting apart April 10 or that year as "tree planting day." Tho legislature finally adopted tho resolution ns proposed by Mr. Morton, although some of his colleagues thought that "Sylvan Day" would bo a better title for tho nowly-crcatcd festival, and there Is a portion of the public that inclines to this belief today. The new schemo proved an emphatic success and more than ono million trees were planted throughout Nebraska on that flrBt Arbor Day. Not only were tho children of the public schools Interested from the outset, but Individuals and local soclotics of various kinds pat tlclpated. This was due in part, no doubt, to tho fact that tho Nebraska Stato Hoard of Agri culture, which created tho holiday, offered a prize of ono hundred dollars to the agricultural society of that county which planted properly tho largest number of trees, and provided a farm library and a purso of twenty-five dollars for tho person who planted the largest number of trees. The next year Arbor Day was observed through out Nebraska with Increasing enthusiasm and In 1874 tho governor, by official proclamation, desig nated the second Wednesday of April as Arbor Day for Nebraska. In 1885, when tho legislature of the state formally designated Arbor Day as a holiday the date was changed to April 22. If Ne braska can bo taken as an example, tho Influence of Arbor Day Is ccrtnlnly most beneficial and. only pity is that other states could not , placed tho holiday on their official calenuj early as did Nebraska. Statistics show a period of sixteen years following tho , which Farmer Morton secured tho adc tho Arbor Day project a total of thrcej and fifty million treos and vines wero Nebraska as tho direct outcomo ot ment Tho first states to follow tho ovnr braska in adopting Arbor Day wero "WondcJ Dignity to the log matter?'

Thorcnftor there followed a steady procession of other states, tho legislatures of which became converts to tho popular Idea. In 1887 tho movement took root In Canada, the Educational Department of On tario setting apart a day on which tho trustees of every rural school and incorporated vlllngo wero desired to plant shado trees nnd mako flower bedB. Oddly enough, tho Stato ot Now York did not fall into lino In this movement until tho year 1888, but when tho state legislature did tttko up tho matter It enacted very explicit legislation, prescribing for exercises In tho public schools tending to encourage tho planting, protection and preservation of trees and shrubB. Thus fur only ono foreign country has ndoptcd tho American holiday known ns Arbor Day. The nation that has paid us this compliment of Imi tation is Spain, but In tho land ot tho Dons tho fcstlvnl 1b known as Festa del Arbol, meaning tho Fcto of tho Tree.
