TO FIGHT GREEN BUG.
Kansas University Sending out Para
sites to the Farmers TO De-
stroy the Pests.

Lawrence, Kansas. - The entomol-
ogy department of the University
of Kansas, under the direction of
Prof. S. j. Hunter. has decided to be-
gin war upon the green bugs in the
wheat fields by distributing parasites
which feed upon the pests through
out the infested area. For several
weeks letters have been coming to
the university asking it to take hand
in checking the green bug In the
same manner that it carried on the
chinch bug war in the early '90s Prof.
Hunter, however, did not consider the
condition very alarming and so wait
ed to see If with warm weather the
parasites could not check the pest
without any artificial breeding and
distribution. He still does not believe
there will be any widespread loss,
but owing to the continued cool
weather he has decided to distrib-
ute parasites.
Two advanced students of the ento-
mology department, Will Grisea and
Ebb Crumb, have been sent to the in
tested districts i'll the southern part
of the state. They will make a daily
report on the conditions there and
will have general supervision of the
distribution of the parasites which
feed upon the green bug.

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old.time household remedies
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DIR.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed It
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale Of it increased, and at last he
established mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value In the
treatment Of these ailments. They
have learned to trust ana believe In
DR.. Hartman Judgment, and to rely
J On his remedy, Peruna.
