To Save the Cherry Trees.

The following advice is given out
by Prof. c. P. Gillette Of the Colo.
RADIO Agricultural College:
MANY of the cherry trees are be-
ing badly infected with the cherry
slug. This is very easy insect to
control, and it is hoped that no one
will allow his cherry trees to be de-
foliated at this time of the year,
which is always serious calamity
to the trees if it does not kill them
outright.
There will be another brood OF
this slug appearing about month
later, and anything that can be done
10 destroy the first brood will tend
10 lessen the second.
"The best remedies to use, if
there are many trees to be treated.
are arsenate of lead, Paris green, or
white helebore sprayed upon the
leaves. If arsenate of lead is used.
prepare by mixing one pound Of the
poison in each 20 gallons of water.
II Paris green is used, prepare by
mixing one pound of the poison in
100 gallons of water. These poisons
are preferred providing there is no
fruit on the trees.
If the cherries are still upon the
trees it is better to use white hele-
bore. Mix one ounce with each 3
g .llons of water. This poison is best
applied toward evening. It's veg
etable poison and loses its strength
ia few days upon the trees, but
when thoroughly applied is very eff
cient in destroying the slugs.
IF only few trees are infected
they may be thoroughly busted with
Stacked lime or fine road dust, either
of which will remove the slugs and
save the trees"

This Information May Be Of Value to
Many . Mother.

When there is added to the many
cares inseparable from the rearing
of children that affection of weak
ness of the kidneys and auxiliary

and her home happier.
Mrs. John Q. Streeter, living

ney Pills in my home for long
time. Last summer l procured

sleep. She was also troubled with

MISAPPREHENSION
 ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
DIRECTOR ROUTZAHN WANTS TO IMPRESS ON MINGHAM ClTI- zENs THAT THERE IS NOTHING UNPLEASANT AT EXHIBITION.

E. G. Routzahn, who is in charge of the tuberculosis exhibition, wishes to inn press the following upon the general pub lic. That about the exhibition there is;
 Nothing dangerous"
 Nothing unpleasant"
 No cures advertised
 No remedies sold.'
 No patients treated
 These mottos of the American tubercu- losis exhibition need to be urged far and wide because of the many people who wholly misunderstood the present world wide crusade against tuberculosis.
 Tt is not a campaign of unpleasant things or morbid ideas. It has little to do with the hospital and much less with the work of the physician than of the respon- sibility of the public spirited citizens. Be- cause the whole campaign is misunder- stood the tuberculosis exhibition is also misunderstood. There are some folks In every city who have too vivid imagna- ton in order to rightly understand how we can have consumption show which shall appeal to everyone.
 We are not running a medical museum or chamber of horrors. It is not medi- c'ne show or an affair for gentlemen only. The material which is arranged in the old storeroom at Fourth and Twen- teth streets and the stereopticon views which will be shown in the old Fairyland theatre will offer absolutely nothing to offend the most sensitive. or anything in the least dangerous. We do not have even a single real live germ, although we do have a picture of the very innocent little object which is the cause of all the trou- ble. Then we do also show by charts and diagrams how widespread are the ravages of consumption, and we do try to make clear that living and working con- ditions are the chief factors in the spread of the infection. We show also how con- sumption is prevented and how the cure is secured, but there is nothing to illus trate the effects upon the human body. There are no patients, living or other wise. There are no pieces of lungs as many folks imagine. There is simply nothing that the average person believes must necessarily be here.'

 In a f1owery dale on the banks of the Mouse youths and maidens are holding a May festival. It is in 1429, when France is being ravaged by foreign invasons and civil warfare. There Is a tradition among the people that at the time when they will be in greatest danger they will be saved by a virgin, and during the festival the young people beseech Merlin, the wizard, to send this maiden to their rescue Philip alone is sad and laments the absence of his love.

She comes; but breeding over the woes of France, she shuns the festivities which she leaves when summoned by "rhe Voices These voices are destined to become the h. centives, dear and familiar of her ca reer.
 Urged by the dictates of these voices Joan seeks aid of the provost. This practical soldier laughs at her at first, but later yields to her appeals and sends her with small body guard to Orleans. The village Is grief stricken at her de- parture, and Philip determines to accom- pany her. They pass Glen, the popu- lace rejoicing on the way. The English soldiers surprised and terrified, allow them to pass unharmed, and Joan enters Orleans amid the joyful acclamations of the people.
 Fortune now seems to smile once more on the French The enemy, alarmed by the appearance of the maiden, raise the siege and retreat. Joan gives thanks at the cathedral and prepares to lead her countryment to battle. Victory hangs over the arms of the French until the battle of Compeigne, where they are de- feated and driven to the town. Here, either by treachery or by cowardice, the drawbridge is dropped before Joan can reach safety, and she is seized by the triumphant English. Amid cries Of min- ged rage and sorrow she Is burned at the stake, leaving Philip to carry the sal news to her friends.

The plot of the play treats of life in Wash ington and is highly romantic. A young lieutenant in the army masquer- ades al a coach man in the home of his sweetheart and wins her love without disclosing his identity.
