THE Under Dog"

1.-The Under Dog is a collection OF
short stories by +. HoKplnson Smith
This talented writer touches, or rather
uwells, upon the minor keys of life.
When you have read one OF these
stories, no matter whether you are
INN rsea in tears or convulsed with
laughter 1T is, after all, the genuine
pathos OF the story that appeals to
you. Helplessness and wretchedness
are so vlvldly depicted that your heart
overhows with sympathy for the un
fortunate hero or heroine. and your
whole sonl IS immersed in one
bought, 20 the pity of 1t all.
The author style is forclble, ana
his character studies remarkably
fascinating; he possesses a subtle
sense of humor, which he conve! s
skillfully to the reader, and which
gives to the book the touch OF bright
ness necessary for the relief and also
the completion of his stories. Chas

Middle Aged Love Stories.

1t is mistake to think that love
and romance are the heritage of youth
alone In maturer years, when the
hama of Fate has changed the tide OF
their lives from the course where their
soung dreams would have them; when
Death, Disappointment and DIS
epchantment have robbed them of the
best thugs IN life 1t is OF these
hearts that Josephine Daskam writes
in Middle Aged Love Stories,
She tears away the veil ana discloses
the real romance that exists, purified
by it's suppression, IN the hearts OF
her middle aged heroes and heroines.
Her gentle easy style is in keeping
with her subject.

from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.

They cause the death of pear and apple tree branches and timber rots in forest trees. The am nual loss from plant diseases reaches millions of dollars in New York state every year. Hence the question of how to prevent plant diseases is one of great practical importance. The science of vegetable pathology is one of the new est. It had it's beginning only 30 years ago.
 With diseases of environment the obvious remedy is to correct the unfa- vorahle conditions. Individual plants. like individual men, vary in their abili- ty to resist disease. Even plants of the same cultural variety this difference in resisting power is often quite marked
