Preparation of Spraying Mixtures.

Too much care cannot be taken in
preparing any mixture to be used on
trees and fruits. If not properly pre-
pared. injury may follow. Bordeaux
mixture, If properly prepared, will not
injure the apple; but If there is not a
sufficient amount of lime, injury may
follow, causing the surface of the apple
to be russeted and rough. Also damage
to foliage may result. Other fruits are
susceptible to injury from the mixture.
II carelessly prepared. This mixture
Is one Of the most effective fungicides in
use.

Soil for Strawberries.-Thei ideal soil

from some parts Of the country that
farmers have been burning their po-
tatoes for fuel. the tubers being worth
only about 81 per ton. On the other

Chinch Bug Eggs and Young.-Each
female deposits about 500 eggs, usually
placing them about the surface of the
ground on stems of grass, grains and
in rare cases other plants. The young
are at first Of a red color, later chang
ing to brown-black while the adult is
black with white wings. The wings are
not obtained until full development
has been reached. and, hence in the
most destructive period the insects
crawl instead Of fly, and the true cause
of injury is less on account Of numbers
than Of the habit of clustering in my
RAIDS on the plant attacked.

Cured on the same terms. The treatment is painless. I perform all manner of surgical operations pertaining to my speciality, and through the influence of anesthetics cause no pain. This a boon to the afflicted.
 There are many complications follow- ing Private Diseases, such as Bad Blood, Skin, Bladder and Womb Troubles, Ul- cers, Pimples. Blotches, sore Mouth, etc., all of which quickly get well when the cause is removed.
 I wish to call special attention to my treatment of unfortunates suffering from the effects of Early Imprudence, Errors of Youth, Loss of Vitality, Loss of Man. hood, Sexual Debility, or any of the mad dening effects. Get well and be a man. Enjoy life as you should. Thousands of men and youths are occupying subordi- nate positions in life today who, if they were able to exercise their brain power to its fullest capacity, would instead be leaders.
 In a majority of cases can cure my pa- tients by mail treatment. I can furnish medicines from my Dispensary, or, as am az Regular Licensed Physician. I can write them prescriptions. If they prefer they can have them prepared by their home druggist. i.

A specialist treats only a special or particular class of diseases I have the distinction of being the only physician in the south controlling sufficient practice in Private Diseases to devote my whole time to their cure
 This daily contact for year after year with such troubles gives experience. Ex- perience is essential to success.
 My Medical Dispensary was esta blished in the city of Birmingham August 8, 1887, for the exclusive cure of Private Dis- eases. Privacy is one of it's special fea- lures. It is so arranged that one patient never necessarily sees another. People who have social relations to sustain ap- preciate this. The very best people are often unfortunate and dislike to consult their family physician through feelings of delicacy. To them offer safe, sure cure and perfect privacy.

world lives, especially when so many spend their money and, worst of all, their vitality, in smoking cigarettes. If you don't think cigarettes. in fact, any form of tobacco-using hurts you, watch the cigarette smoker who has in- dulged the habit for some time. See how his hands tremble; the anxious look on his face tells of irregular heartbeat; his nervousness betrays itself in dozen ways. If you are cigarette smoker, you are never feeling quite at ease nn- less you are putfing a stinking little nervewrecker.

 My Dear Mrs. Ball: I was on the very eve of matrimony when l read your arti- cle of Sunday with the alarming resolu ton about willing wives and willing hus- bands, but, in abject consternation, l have decided not to proceed one step further until I look into this matter
 Now, I love a certain amount of social gaiety, and yet I am not especially friv- olous, and I have been arranging my rousseau with view to subsequent re captions, dinners, cGtillions, etc, when here comes Sundays paper and puts me to wondering if shall need these expen- sive clothes after all. I might when 1t IS too late find myself tied to an unwilling husband, who would never take me out in the evenings. Of course, papa does not take mamma out but I thought that was because they are too old to care for such things. but, since I have come to think about 1t. cannot remember ms ever doing so, and you know they nave not been too old always. I notice mamma has sometimes a wstful look In her dear blue eyes when she pins on my flowers and gives me a goodbye kiss, but I never thought seriously of 1t until Sunday. Poor, weary household drudge, how tired she must have been all these years of alarming and stitching. cooking and car ing for us all, with no sunshine save what came to her through our happiness. I won't speak to her about this because, in her loyalty and devotion, she will deny 1t and VOW that she is entranced with the bare privilege of living. But have been set to thinking, and my trousseau comes to a standstill until learn wheth- CT I am to be victim of an unwilling husband or not when I do marry. Please ventilate this subject thoroughly, and oblge, yours truly, -.
