Gratitude Well Expressed.

Sault ST., Marie, Mich, Feb. Sth.-Mr.
G. L. Smith, painter and decorator, whose
home is at 300 Anne street, this city,
makes the following statement:
Il was laid up with some kind of pains.
Some said it was Lumbago, others Sciatica,
and others again Rheumatism. A few of
my friends suggested that it was lead
poison, but whatever it was it gave me a
great deal of pain, in fact, almost COM
pletely crippled me. / had to use two
canes to walk about and even then it was
a very painful task.
"A friend advised me to try Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and L began the treatment. After
| had used the first box | was able TO
throw away one of the canes and was con-
siderably improved. The second box
Strengthened me up so that l could go
about free from pain without any assist
ance and very soon after | was complete
ly cured. well and happy, without a pain
or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed
to 60 right to the spot in my case and
they will always have my greatest praise"

7 A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. 1t
- spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, the a%ristocrat
and the pauper, the masses and the class
es are alike subject to la grippe. None
are exempt-all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? Grip is well named.
The original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri-
can to read grip" Without intending
to do so a new word has been coined
that exactly describes the case. AS If
some hideous giant with awful GRIP had
clutched us in its fatal clasp. Men,
women, and children, whole towns and
cities are caught in the baneful grip of a
terrible monster.

PROPAGATION OF E
Process of Root Grating Explained
Step by Step, in Language That
All Can Understand.

Root grating and such work is done
by nurserymen in winter when little
outdoor work can be done. Root graft
ing is largely practiced in growing ap-
pie trees. If skillfully done in the
early winter so that the stock and scion
may become more or less united before
planting in the spring, trees grown by
this method will be as valuable as
those grown by budding and are grown
much more cheaply.
The farmer or orchardist who is
planning for future planting may, if
skillful with knife, by securing apple
seedlings, root-graft them during the
leisure hours of February, and by
planting in a rich soil produce trees
that are more valuable than he can

HARVESTING THE WALNUTS.
Public Schools in California Are
Closed When the Time for Lay
ing In the Crop Arrives.

The culture of the English walnut has
become an important industry in Cali
fornia of late years. The first walnut
orchard in the state was planted with
seed from the Los Angeles mission gar
dens, where the padres had started a
few trees with nuts brought with them
from Spain. The undertaking was a sue
cess from the first, states a California
exchange, and the acreage of walnuts
has steadily ENTHUSIASTICALLY at first,
but now with rapid strides. The walnut
trees early age OF bearing, its long
life and the steady demand for its prod
uct tend to make the enterprise deserv-
eddy popular. Already it is superseding
the range in favor among fruit grow
ers.
The walnut tree begins to bear when
six or seven years old, and nothing is
known definitely of its age limit of bear
ing. Fabulous stories are told of trees
in Spain one or two centuries old, bear
ing enormous crops. The Oldest trees
in California are still bearing, but deduc-
lions from the short history already
made show that the tree is in its prime
from its twenty-fifth to its thirtieth
year. Fifteen hundred pounds of nuts
to the acre is a good average yield, MAX
ing rs pounds the average weight from
n tree.
yhe harvest time begins about the
middle of September and lastsnearly six
weeks. The nuts begin to fall with the
leaves, and the perfect cultivation In
der the trees leaves no chance for them
to lose themselves among clods or weeds.

drop free from the outer husk or hull,
through its irregular bursting, and get

ter. Sometimes the trees are we'll IT.
rigated just before harvest time to in
sure the clean dropping of the nuts.
Boys and girls. men and women, Japa-
nese and Chinese, are all pressed into
service, and on hand and knees the great
orchards are gone over, not once, but
several times on account of the irregular
ripening Of the nuts. The trees are &C.
~casionally shaken during the season to
loosen the nuts, and before the last
cleaning they are "poled" to start the
very tardy ones, This is done by long,
coarse, bamboo poles, whose light
weight makes them easily handled.
In certain rural districts the public
schools close regularly for a walnut
vacation" The help of the children is
needed, and the children are not loath
to replenish their diminished purses.
Pals, a and %gunnysacks are scat
tered among the pickers, and when the
bags are full they are carried to the dry
ing ground, where they are spread on
Stat trays to dry.

First to Organize.

The English tailors have the credi,
of being the first to offer organized re-
sistence to industrial oppression, AMI
hence were the pioneers af modern
trade unionism. AS early u 1921, in
the days of the handicrafts, there was
a union of tailors in London number
ing $4,000, and they went on strike for
better conditions of employment, not
withstanding the acts Of parliament
that outlawed such combinations, made
strikes a criminal act and limited
wages by law.

Insect Disguised as Leaf.

A well-known naturalist tells Of an in
sect in Nicaragua so completely dis
guised as a leaf that a whole host of the
ants who prey upon it actually ran across
it without recognizing it as their foot.
Mr.. Sclater noted in South America an
other insect-one of the Membraeidae-
which not only mimicked the leaf-cut-
ting ant for its own protection, but, like
its model, carried in its jaws a fragment
of leaf about the size of a s~ixpence.

willing to Take a Chance.

A pious citizen has a l5-year-old son
who does not promise to be exactly "a
chip off the old block" Not long ago the
father discovered to his sorrow that his
boy and several others of the neighbour
hood had a habit OF matching nlckels.
The wrathful parent led the erring lad to
the ti~me-honored attic, where hangs a
certain strap. The boy didn't have any
agreeable impression of what was to come,
and, on the grand that it is only the first
plunge that counts, he called out: Say,
dad! III 60 you heads OF tails for two
lickings or none!"-Chicag1 Chronicle.
