The White Grnh.

The white grub, which often in dry
season eats off the roots of the grass
and corn, and will eat almost any root
which is not too hard, is the larva of
what is known as the June beetlepin
and farther South as the May beetle.
1t often is so abundant as to make it
necessary to plow up fields where they
have destroyed all the grass, and even
then it is difficult to destroy the grub.
But we have seen it stated that the
beetle, though it flies mostly by night,
is a leaf-eating insect, ana where the
trees are sprayed with afsenites many
of them are killed AS one of their ia
vorite foods is thegleaf of the hickory
tree, that should be sprayed regularly
each year.-American Cultivator.

The milk of cows that have long
passed the season of greatest produc-
ton, which Is soon after narrowing. is
much richer in butter fats than that
which the same cows give soon after
dropping their calves, says an ex-
change. If they had not been bred, the
milk also usually contains more of the
albuminoids also. For this reason it is
harder to digest, and. as cows milk is
at best unsuited to the stomach of a
young infant, that from new milk
cows. where procurable, is always to
be preferred. The milk of the COW is
too rich in fats, causing the infant to
throw it up soon after taking a guam
tity. 1t may be improved by diluting
ii with warm water made quite sweet

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible malady

from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly

To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
of it driven out This S. S. S. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep

When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and the
disease never returns.

TYPHooN Va. PACK TRAIN

The following Is an extract from .
letter of George Thacker, Frieay Har-
Dor boy, who is soldier in the Philip
pines:
DEAR FHTHKR-
Having little leisure time this even
ing will write you few lines. We are
having deluge of rain and the face OF
the country is completely flooded. A
typhoon passed down the China sea few
days ago and we caught the tail end Of it.
or rather the tail of it caught Us, especial
ly our pack train. We were on the road
in the middle of large prairie, between
here and Panique, with the pack train
when the storm came, and we had q hard
time to keep the train moving. At times
it seemed as If the rain and wind would
drive us into the bitches which run along
each side of the road and are about ten
feet deep. The water seemed to come
down In perfect sheet, which, with force
Of the wind, was simply terrific, and
something never experienced before
even in this country. never knew be-
fore how hard it could ram. We were
compelled to travel in the teeth of this
storm nearly three miles before we could
reach shelter, in the little bario (town) of
Bentiqu, and when we arrived the worst
Of it was over. We hear. over the phone,
that tho railroad il washed out in sew
eral places, which hope ia true, as it
will give us q few days rest.
Before we had the storm the natives
had been marching around the town
every night for q week, carrying torches,
praying for rain. They said If 1t did not
soon rain they would raise no rice crop
and they would starve, but their prayers
were answered, and with renewed conf
dence and faith in the overriding Provi-
dence they are happy and contented. A
little matched hut, hardly at for q calf
stable, . pig and couple Of chickens,
with little patch of rice, will give Fill
ipino moro real pleasure than New
York millionaire could enjoy in brown
stone front with $50 900 year.
