THE CELERY LEAF TIER.

added molasses and water and enough
paris green to give the mixture slight

The celery leaf tier often becomes
very troublesome, not only because 1t
destroys the leaves by eating them,
but by spinning a web and tying the
leaves together. As a means Of con-
trolling this insect hand picking will
be effectual on a small scale, but should
they become very numerous it may be
necessary to place open lamps I'm the

the moths as they fly about to lay their

What does it profit a woman if she
gain the whole world of knowledge and
lose her own health? Young women
students and school teachers, eager,
ambitious and full of energy, very often
neglect their health in the struggle to
gain education. They eat insufficient
food, and at irregular hours, they allow
irregularity of the womanly functions
to be established, and the result is that
they become chronic invalids with all
their ABDUCTION practically worthless.
There is plain road back TO health
for such as these marked by the feet of
thousands 1t is the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golded Medical Discovery for diseases of
the stomach and digestive and nutritiye
organs, and DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pres
cription for diseases of the delicate org
ans of wOmanhood. A cure so certainly
follows the use of these remedies that
out of hundreds of thousands who have
tried the treatment, ninety eight III every
hundredhave been perfectly andperman-
emily cured. Constipation. with its
calamitous consequences, which is a
common ailment Of students, can be en-
tirely cured by the use of DR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets.
