dishes, table cutlery and linen,
stoves, bedroom crockery and bar
fixtures. For particulars apply to

A man whose feet do not track
stopped us on the street the other
day and said: The phenomenal
good health of smokers is not due
to tobacco alone. Smokers carry
matches loose in their pockets and
it is the sulphur OH the matches
that surrounds the body with an
aura of protection. What smoke
and sulphur won't do in the way OF
killing microbes is not worth men,
tioning." We offer this for the
benefit of the old chronics who "can
stop smoking any time they want
to-" but who never bump up
against the time when they want
to.-Er.
A new potato pest, said to be
worse than the striped bug, is re-
ported from some sections of the
State. For want of a better name
it is called the potato louse." The
insect is so very small as to be
hardly visible to the naked eye, and
they cover the potato leaves so that
scarcely any of the leaf can be seen
They eat the leaf and in afew days
it will wither. Farmers have tried
in various ways to get rid Of them
but without success. The insec
cannot be shaken off, and Pari:
green does not seem to have any
effect on them.
