partment will devote more care and

pest than has ever been given to any

the busy little cotton pest. The his
tory Of his alarming progress from the
Rio Grande will be minutely described.

means that has yet been devised to re-
tard the northward march Of this dew
asting army The bulletin will con-
clude by urging the cotton planters to
abandon all varieties OF late cotton and
develop their energies to raising the
early kinds.
The weevil. luckily for the future of
the cotton industry. cannot live in
alarming numbers over wiraer, and
early cotton may be raised and har-
vested before the summers brood OF
weevils can multiply in sufficient num-
bers to destroy the crops.
The scientists OF the department. are
somewhat exercised over the rumor
coming from Texas to the effect that
a ''weevil bulletin" is being prepared
down there. They are hurrying with
the preparation Of the department bull
letin with ali possible speed, in order
to beat out the Lone Star publication.

AMERICA NOW SENDING
FRUIT INTO FRANCE
Short Crops in Provinces Helps the
Market Here and Exports Have In
creased Nearly 0ne-Half.

Owing to the failure of fruit crops
this season in France the exports OF
American fruits have increased nearly
so per cent, so reports of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor show.
while the probabilities are the imports
are to grow in all foreign countries as
the season advances.
According to a report made by Cons.!
Benjamin II. Ridgely, at Nantes.
France. 10000 barrels of American dried
apples have been sold in that town
alone I'm the last three months. These
is the beverage most popular In Brit
tany, replacing the wine of the other
provinces.
The market has been really captured
by the growers Of prunes and apricots
of California, the several hundred tons
sold last year being trebled this year.
California and Florida oranges are also
replacing those Of southern France,
and American figs seem to be about
the only kind sold.
Importers. however, are complaining
of the excessive freight rates they have
10 pay. the cost being about 81 q barrel,
while the rate TO the ports OF other
countries for the same fruits, shipped
the same distance, is not more than 60
cents.
1t is said the failure of the French
crop has resulted in the exporters of
the United States selling more than
s., 200, 600 more fruit abroad THIN in
other years.

While the new locomotives cost $50. 900.

money is well spent. as the machines
are certain TO pay for themselves. In
addition to being the best that can be

OF the engine is increased by the adding

Powerful New Engines.

Five powerful modern engines have
arrived at Alexandria for the use Of the
Southern Railroad. They are now being
assembled, and as soon as this work
is completed General Manager Ackert
and Mechanical superintendent Higgins

engines were built by the Baldwin Com

wheels were put on to support it. The

-eliciting great commentator for

If, after the expiration Of the pre-
sent term of office, he wishes to

trict-in fact, the people Of the
State, we hope that he will have
no opposition for a denomination

How Cheap Baking Powder is Made

recent seizure of a lotof "cheap"
baking powder by the authorities
of a neighboring city has exposed
the character of the low priced
brands of baking powders which
many manufacturers are offering
throughout the country. The price
of the powders first attracted at
tention to them. Samples were
taken and analysed. The official
report of the analysis showed the
stuff to be "alum powders" COM
posed chiefly of alum, sulphuric
acid and pulverized rock. The
powders were declared dangerous
to health and several thousand
pounds were confiscated and de-
stroyed.
Physicians have frequently eau
toned consumers against mixing
food with these so called ''cheap"
baking powders. They are all
found, when analysed, to contain
large percentages of alum and sui
phuric acid to which are addad
various sorts of filling matter,
sometimes both injurious and nasty.
The high class, cream of tartar
baking powders, are the most eco
nomical and wholesome and should
always be selected for use. They
will be found cheaper in the end,
besides making the food better and
more healthful.

the increase in the volumn of bust

sheep, and better shipping rates
for his tobacco. Let every good

A New Discovery Which Has Prach'
callu Astounded the Medical
Profession.

A prominent chemist of Louis
vile, KY, has succeeded in perfect
ing a combination of Camphor with
Essential Oils so as to form per-
feet and remarkable relieving and
curing agent for all external injur-
les and pains. The peculiar fea-
ture of this new remedy and that
which is attracting the attention of
the medical profession and public
is it's remarkable power of inducing
copious perspiration, thereby open
ing the pores of the skin and allow
ing the camphor and Cooling,
Soothing Antlseptic oils to pene-
trate TO the source of the ailment,
removing the Congestion by draw
ing out all Fever and inflammation
quickly. This new remedy does
not heal by drying, scabbing and
deadening the nerve centers around
the source of the injury, but on the
contrary creates activity, stimulates
the circulation, soothes and cools
the injured nerves allowing the
wound or pain to be relieved and
cured quickly without any depress-
ing or bad after effects.
This remedy is so far superior to
the old-fashioned ointments, salves
and liniments that 1T is rapidly re-
placing those old-time remedies in
every household. 1t is just what
the mother, father and children
need every day in their home, office
or shop because of its remarkable
quick relieving and healing powers.
This new product is manufactur-
ed by The Paracamph Company, of
Louisville, Kentucky, and we are
pleased to inform our readers that
our enterprising druggist, DR.. F. c.
Duerson has secured the agency
for Paracamph in Mt. Sterling, and
heartily recommends same to his
customers.
