The Destructive Pea Louse

In recent bulletin of the Delaware Experiment Station. A. D. Sanderson gives the following information with regard to the destructive pea louse: The destructive pea louse destroyed fifty-six per cent. of the Delaware pea crop in 1899 and with dry weather caused a loss Of forty-seven per cent. Tn 1900. Injury was much worse to peas sown broadcast or in S-inch drills. The lice feed upon clover in late fall. winter and spring. Large numbers of the lice are destroyed by parasitic and predaceous insects. but more by fungous disease. This dis ease Is more prevalent in wet springs when the lice are consequently less numerous. If practicable. clover badly infested with lice should be deeply plowed under and rolled to prevent their spread to peas. Peas planted upon well-fertilized land. and ire quently cultivated. will sometimes bear a fair crop though attacked by the lice. Plant only in rows eighteen to thirty inches apart Do not plant late peas next season. In warm weather with soil, brush the vines with pine branch es during midday and follow the brushes by cultiyator. Otherwise. brush the lice from the vines into shallow pan drawn between the rows and partially filled with water and kerc .ene."

 Have you ever stopped to think that the position of a saleswoman in large dry goods store is a particularly trying one?

 When l was eight years of age I had the scarlet fever and 1t lef* me with weak kidneys and a complication or diseases. l was nervous and finally became so bad that l left school and did not go for an entire term. I had headache all the time and was too ir- ritaole to talk with any one. The least excitement seemed to make my heart hutter and fainting spell would fol- low. At times I became so dizzy that would have to sit down until the feeling passed away. My blood seemed to have turned to water and I had no color whatever in my face. I was a mere skeleton and had to lie down sev- eral times during the day. had one or the best physicians in the city. but he did not help me.
 My parents read about Dr. Will jams Pink Pills for Pale People in one Of our city papers. and thought it would be wise for me to give them a trial. l began to get better when had taken the first box. and by the time l had used two and a half boxes l was cured. l can perform with ease my duties as clerk in a dry goods store. l was never so we'll as I am to- day, and 1t Is all due to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People"

AN INTERNAL REMEDY.
4 Pleasant TASTING Tablets simple.
Convcnicnts Cures Every Form OF
lptarrh


The use of inhalers. douchcs.
sprays. salyes aid powders for
eatarrh is a nuisance aud ineon-
venience at the best. and cannot
compare with antiseptic remedies
in tablet form for internal use.
Internal remedies are the onN
ones which can really reach the
seat of the disease which Is in the
blood and local applications can no
more cure catarrh THAI rheumatism
or kidney trouble. the excessive
secretion In nose and throat being
local manifestations OF q deep seat
ed posion in the blood.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. the
most successful of the various in
ternal remedies, is composed pr!n-
eipally of highly concentrated an
tiseptics. which destroy the eatarrh
germs In the blood and cause them
TO be eliminated through the natur-
al channels.
Progressive physicians use and
advise Stuart's Catsrrh Tablets be-
cause they contain no cocaine, no
opiate. no enervating drug what
ever. but are composed OF Guaiacol,
Hydrsstin. Red Gum aud similar
catarrh antiseptics. and are so safe
and pleasant that even little chill
dren may use them with excellent
results.
Catarrh sufferers who have vast
ed time and money on local appli-
cations should not despair OF a
radical cure until trial of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets has been made.
A complete treatment may he
purchased at any drug store for
