QUENTIN HAS FUN WITH

WASHINGToN.-Quentin Roosevelt

down the spinal columns of Attorney
General Bonaparte. Representative
Hepburn, and ex-Representative Lac

peared in the presidents office with
two live snakes coiled about him.
Quentin is somewhat impetuous, es-
pecially when on roller skates. and he
skated into the office of his father,
who was having a conference with At

tin approached, the snakes Kissed and
the attorney general side-stepped with
great agility. President Roosevelt
suggested to Quentin that he disap-

snakes were harmless wooden affairs

larger snake began to wriggle and

tin and the distinguished Iowans in
their terror made frantic efforts to
walk up the walls.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou,

Defiance Starch, as it can be applied

ARMY OF CATERPILLARS
is DEvOURING FOLIAGE

FOLIAGE on Washington's trees is
being devoured Wholesale by an
army of tussock caterpillars, the
larvae of the tussock moth, and ap-
parently nothing can be done to check
the ravages of those now doing the
damage, though precautions can be
taken against repetition of the pest
next year. Aiding and abetting the
tussock eaterpillars are the cohorts of
the fall web worms" which are by no
means so numerous, but which, never
theless, are doing an immense amount
of damage.
For many years the tussock cater
pillar has been the most serious of the
shade-tree pests in Philadelphia, New
York, Brooklyn and Boston, but it was
not until 1895 that it appeared in
Washington in sufficient numbers to
be regarded as menace to the foil
age. In that year also the fall web
worm was more abundant in this city
than ii had been since 1885. In 1901
the pests of both kinds again appeared
in great numbers, and now there is
another invasion, giving a period of
six years between each great attack.
Hitherto the chief check upon the
insects has been the parasites that
come in great numbers in the same
years that the caterpillars abound and
destroy most of the multitude of eggs
laid by the pests. Destruction by

man has helped, but has accounted foi
but small percentage of the eggs put
out of business.
Trees of which the foliage has been
injured or even totally destroyed by
these marauders may be seen on al
most any street of Washington, the
caterpillars attacking by preference
poplars, soft naples, elms, alders
birches and willows. But other trees
by no means escape their depreda
tions, though the gingko ard tulip are
almost. immune. Besides destroying
the foliage, the caterpillars are often
sively intrusive, invading the homes
of the residents and otherwise becom
ing nuisance.

A well-known authority on Rheu-

New York daily paper the following
valuable. yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce:
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
tion pharmacy at small cost. and, be-
ing vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken reg

do give relief, few really give perma-

doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.

the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately. or the druggists

DRAMAS ON APRIL 5

The young ladies OF st. Marks q
Church, and their willing and able
friends, are preparing for q public
entertainment that promises to
eclipse anything of its kind held in
this town for many moons. The
program will be comprised OF at
least three dramatic sketches, the
leading one is entitled "For the Blue
aud the Gray" which, however, is
not as it's name implies military In
character. Friday evening, April 5th
is the date set upon by the young
aides, who by the way are actively
rehearsing. This affair will not
partake OF a money making venture,
as nominal admission fee will be
charged, just enough to make one
feel comfortable and satisfied that be
or she are not receiving something
something for nothing. There are
people In this world who prefer tn
pay cash for value received, and ~ If
to appease the consciences of this
class that the small admission charge
has been settled upon.
