No Protection A gainst the Elm Beetle.

No Protection gainst the Elm Beetle.
 The number of tin contrivances plac- cd upon the village elm trees was in- creased the past week, and Selectman Hubbell wrote to the Massachusetts Agricultural college asking as to the amount of protection these accessories really were. Following is the reply re- ceived from 0. H. Fernald, Ph. D.. professor of Zoology at the college: ''In reply to your letter of the 3rd, I would say that the tin futed inverted oil trough to which you refer is de. signed to protect fruit and shade trees from canker worms. but they cannot be regarded as protection from elm-leaf beetles.

For more than hundred years the Shakers have been studying the reme- dial properties of plants. They have made many discoveries, but their great. est achievement was made last year. It is cordial that contains already digest ed food and is a digester of food. It is effective in removing distress after eat ing, and creates an appetite for more food so that eating becomes pleasure. Pale, thin people become plump and healthy under it's nse.

 There never has been such a step for ward in the cure of indigestion as this Shaker Cordial. Your druggist will be glad to give you little book descrip- tive of the product. ......

orers have arranged excursions to all of
them and have obtained greatly reduced
rates.
On the way out q stop over may
be made at Denver, where the local So
cieties plan to entertain their eastern
friends by taking them to the top Of
Pike s peak and in various other ways.
To take a six days trip to the Yosem-
ite valley from San Francisco will
cost the Endeavorers only $50 extra.
Then there will be Yellowstone park,
with all its wonders, which the dele
gates will miss if they do not stop over
at Livingston, Mon. From there in
to the park is a long distance, but the
whole trip may be made in less than
six days at cost of $48. so.
Trips have even been planned to Alas
ka and the Hawaiian Islands. The Alas
kan trip will be made on the steamer
Queen, which sails from Tacoma, Seat
tie and Victoria on July % and returns
on Aug. 8. The fare for the round trip
will be $50. The round trip to Honolu-
lu will occupy % days, and parties Of
3 or more will be carried for 500
each, the regular fare being $40.
Perhaps you wonder where all these
young people come from. If you do, you
forget that there are nearly $1,000
Christian Endeavor societies in the
United States alone. All through the
eastern, New England and middle steses
you will find that the EndeavOrers hare
an active branch in every little town
and village Sometimes these local So
cieties constitute the only social organi-
cation of any sort to be found in the
place and tbev thrive where societies of
any other sort would perish from any
one Of a dozen causes. 1t is the sound
Christian Endeavor constitution, which
they inherit ready made, that keeps
them so prosperous.
Not all of these small societies have
even one member who can afford to
make long and expensive journey each
summer, but if any member can possibly
do so he or she is elected a delegate and
the society is proud to know that it is
represented at the convention and has
helped to swell the state delegation.
Then the Christian Endeavor couven-
tions are probably the best advertised
affairs which are held anywhere in the
country. As soon as a city is decided
upon the local committees get to work
and for the next 10 months keep the
2, 500, 900 members fully informed about
all the details of the coming trip. En-
thusiasm is worked up by local secreta-
ries, and so when the time comes for the
little band of home delegates to start
there are many left behind who deter
mine that next year they will be among
the fortunate ones to join the singing,
shouting, travelling Endeavor hosts.
