Many mothers who most scrupulously par

All sorts of parasites grow on the mouth,
tongue, and throat from neglect of cleanliness
"Sprue," or thrush, is very rare among children
whose mouths are cleansed and purified periodi

Milk foods are apt to sour and curdle in the
mouth, thus causing a sort of fungus to flourish
and grow apace on the skin of the lips and the
entire mouth and throat cavity.

grains of borax to one ounce of glycerine BoraX

never be used, since the honey is liable to de-

to roll from the bottom. While these
might answer with oranges, says the
Rural New Yorker, they should not
be used with first-class apples, as the
pouring into the bag will surely bruise
them. AS Prof. Judson says, the aver
age picker cannot withstand the
temptation to stand up and let them
shoot out Of the bag when the fore
mans back is turned. The best pick
ing bag appears to be the one shown
in our illustration. This is called an
apron bag, being usually made from a
heavy grain sack It hangs in from
con genient Tor filling, and is shallow,
so that the first apple can be laid in it
without dropping. Both hands are free
to pick, and the bag will hold all that
the wearer can easily carry, yet it can
not be poured out unless the picker
stands on his head. This seems to be
the best way to avoid bruising in pick
ing and handling in the orchard. The
apples are put from this apron bag into
apple boxes. Those used for orchard
handling have slot in each end for a
hand, and they can be easily picked up
and carried to the packing shed. For
this journey spring wagon is used.

COLLECTS HIS OWN CLAIM

Great Notch, N. Jacob Harvey,
of Great Notch, had narrow escape
from death in collision with an au-
tomobile while returning from the re-
ception to William Jennings Bryan in
Newark. He was driving along Grove
street in Upper Montclair when a
touring car containing two men and
two women came bowling along be-
hind him.
The driver of the machine sounded

derstood it and turned to the wrong
side There was a crash and the
next thing Harvey knew he found
himself In the auto lying at the wom-
ems feet. 1t was found that the blow
from the machine had lifted the body
Of the wagon, clear of the axles and
landed 1t on the horss,s back. This ac-
counted for Harveys backward dive

YOUNG HUNTER SPENDS

Memphis Youth Is Lost in Mississippi

Lancaster and Shea sought the

they were fairly successful hunting
and fishing. and everything went
along smooth until the fourth Cay
rolled around and completely altered
all their plans.
II was late in the afternoon Of that
day when Bert Lancaster decided to
go squirrel hunting. Accompanied by
his guide, Lancaster walked about
three miles from the camp. when the
guide left him, after admonishlng him
to keep close to large lake in the
vicinity, which had been fixed upon
by all as a good landmark.
For some time the ambitious nim-
rom obeyed instructions, but being
beckoned on by good luck, and bag
ging many squirrels. he went further
from the lake than he intended. When
he started to return the shades OF
night were beginning to thicken, and
he was not entirely sure Of his way.
The imp Of the perverse changed his
course, and he began walking in a
circle. This maneuver he continued
until he came to a complete realiza-
tion of the situation.

THE COOLING MOTHS.
Autumn and Winter Habits Of This
Troublesome Enemy Of the Orchard.

An examination OF the fruit in the
fall viii show how important a late
spraying for the apple orchard is The
codling moth begins early and thins
out the fruit by means OF its first
brood. This fruit is out Of the way
early. 1t drops on when less than half
grown These early larvae enter the
apple at the calyx. as is well known
Later comes the moth for the second
brood. She lays her eggs largely on
leaves, where they do not damage, but
some Of them are laid on the green
apples. and the larvae that hatch out
enter the fruit wherever it is most
convenient So the scientists have
told US. and a little observation will
prove II. These worms are caught by
the late July spraying A film of
poison on the apple viii put an end
to the worm before it can do any in
jury.
Much has been learned about the
codling moth within receLs years, but
there is still room for further re-
search. The worms that hatch on the
leaves eat the under side, and have
been known to burrow along the mid
rib. There is reason TO suppose that
they can develop in the leaf. Is it
often that they do this? That may
explain why the insects are plentiful.
even after year in which there have
been scarcely any apples. Not having
fruit to live In, they have grown un
in leaves. If this should prove to be
the fact. it will be as important to
spray in "on'' years as when there is
fruit, perhaps more so, as the larvae
can be killed better on foliage than
on the apples. This is an interesting
question. and one which owners of or
chards can assist to answer.
Not only are there two broods Of the
codling moth during the year, but 1t
is now considered possible that there
might be three. though that many have
not been actually reported. But the
development of the pest differs so
much in the length of time required
that there are mature insects from the
beginning to the end of its season.
We can get along quite well without
a third brood.
The codling moth larvae hides away
somewhere in the fall. or as soon as it
leaves the apple; then spins a cocoon,
but does not become a pupa till the
return of warm weather If it is in
an orchard 1t hides in crevices OF the
bark, on tree trunks or under rubbish.
The fewer hiding places there may be,
the greater is the probability that 1t
will be picked up by birds, fowls or
predacious insects, or attacked by
ichneumon flies before it can find win
ter quarters. The moral is obvious
clean up the rubbish.
The codling moth came from Eu-
rope, but unfortunately did not bring
its enemies with it. There are sew
eral of them, so it appears. The de-
partment of agriculture is now inter-
ested in them, and has been expert
menting with several. The results
have been sufficient to excite the hopes
of fruit growers. In time the codling
moth may 60 as has already been pre-
dicted, but that time is still some dis
tance in the future. There is as yet
no safe and easy means for getting rid
of the worm in apples. and there may
not be till spray pumps are worn out
that are still unmade.

This Dog is a \
Cigar Salesman.

Then Goodwin went into business
at his home town. starting a cigar
jobbing house under the firm Of Good
win & Ollie. Goodwin longed TO be
on the road again for his own house. and
one day he had an inspiration as he
observed the intelligence displayed
by his dog Rex. then a pup. The ex-
pertinent was tried and II proved sue
cessful, but Rex was quick TO learn.
and It was not long before he under
stood that 1t was TO be his work to
guide his master from place to place.
Since he started he has never failed
for single day to do his duty. When
he first made his trips with the dog
Goodwin had to inquire his way to
the places he wished to visit. but
when once there he introduced Rex.
and Rex never forgot.
He now knows :"all the trade" in
the various towns the pair make"
and the customers always have a cor
dial welcome for the interesting sales
man.
Rex never makes any mistakes. He
takes his master directly to where he
wishes to go and loses no tine in do
ing so. When they are through with
town he leads the way to the proper
railway station.
Mr.. Goodwin holds him by a strap
that is fastened to the dogs collar, and
code of signals has come to be un-
derstood by them. so that each knows
the meaning Of every movement Of the
other. Goodwin can tell when he is at
street crossing by the manner in
which Rex ducks his head, giving the
strap a slight jerk.
Rex guides his master across the
street safely. no matter how crowded
il may be, and steers him clear OF
street cars. automobiles and buggies.
Master and dog have never yet met
with an accident.
In violation Of all rules Rex rides in
the coaches Of all trains and inter-
urban cars In Indiana. for he is known
to all the railroad folk, and all con.
ductors have strict orders to carry the
dog.
Rex is a Gordon setter and is
handsome animal. Even though he has
the intelligence Of a man and deyotes
the most Of his time to doing a mans
work he is still a dog, and when the
occasion offers delights in doing some
OF the things that It is peculiarly and
particularly proper for dog TO do,
such as running" rabbit
One day recently Mr.. Goodwin was
waiting to change cars at a little coun-
try station. He took advantage OF the
opportunity to give Rex a short out
ing, and, releasing the dog from his
strap. Rex was soon having the time OF
his life In field some distance away.
AS time for the train TO arrive ap-
preached Rex was still busy, and
finally Goodwin had to send some men
after him. and the travelling salesdog
barely returned to his master In time
to catch the train.
