DR.. Gums name is a household word
throughout America. His book, entitled
1.-THE Family Physician" has been used as
a standard book of reference for years. Dr.
Gum has made a specially of curing pep
pie. He uses such means as he knows and
has found out by experience will cure them.
AS result he is a great and constant adj
vocate of probably the leading standard
remedy of this age. In speaking about it,,
he said:
81 tried this remedy over ten years ago
in a bad case Of Bright's disease and the
patient got well. L tried it in other cases
with equally good results, and then wrote to
the proprietors and they sent me the form
ula according to which it is made. | have
used it in many cases since then and the
results have been all ] could desire. ! have
seen patients recover from Brights disease,
gravel and inflammation of the bladder
after taking Warmers Safe Cure, even when
all other remedies had failed"
DR.. Gum was asked If he would refer
to some person who had been cured by it.
He refused to give names, but said he had
any number of cases and mentioned one.

DR. Gum said that he knows many phy-

ternoOn Cadet James Bardia, of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college, and sew
eral others, were in swimming at Moore s
milIpond three miles from town. Bardia
had swan across and half way back, when
his strength gave out. He called for help.
VIII Wills reached him in time TO catch
his hair, but Bardia pulled MIN under.
When he rose Wills pluckily sought him
a second time and again pulled under
and held. BY the time he came to the
surface Mr. Walker had reached him also
and he and Wills again caught him.
Both were carried under. Even then they
did not relax their efforts and on getting
free dived after him, but the water was too
deep to raise him.
In an hour the pond drained and the
body recovered. All efforts to resuscitate
him failed. Every effort to save him was
made. Too much praise cannot be given
to Wills and Walker for their bravery.
Bardia was from CamdeneS, Cuba and
came to the Agricultural and Military col
lege last fall to study the mechanic arts
He was universally popular He will be
buried here. tomorrow morning and in re
spect to his memory the college will be

An orchard tree eats just as does a corn
plant or a stool of wheat. A vigorous orch
ard tree is a greedy eater. If the ground is
no. manured the supply of plant food is i'll
time so much exhausted that the tree cam
not get material for vigorous growth or for
abundant fruitage. If the orchard is crop
ped with grain or grass the process Of eX-
haustion is of course, quite rapid. The
trees vitality is brought to a low point,
for it is half starved or more; hence it falls
an easy prey to insects and fungi. The
owner wonders why his orchard does no
good, why the trees wlnterllill, why they
do not bear, why they persist in dying out.
If he would give a liberal dressing of good
fertilizer and spade it in about the roots
of the trees he would find that he had
discovered most potent remedy.
After the strawberry crop is off the first
thing to do is to pull out the weeds in the
