w. E. BRTTTON'S REPORT.
State Entomologist Refers to De-
 structive Work of Sawfiy,

The seventh report of State Ento- mologist W. E. Britton was issued last night as part of the biennial report of the agricultural station in this city. The review of the work at Ston- ington in controlling the gypsy moth. for which provision was made by the last legislature, shows that the pest is now held in check, and can doubt less be exterminated from that locality if the work is kept up.
 A new insect pest of peach orchards the peach sawfy, is fully described by Mir. Walden. assistant to the entomol- ogist. This insect appeared in one of the large peach orchards of Yalesville and injured the trees by devouring the foliage.
 The insect was so abundant in 1907 and threatened to be so destructive that the owners sprayed between four and five thousand trees with lead ar senate to prevent defoliation. The re- suits were entirely satisfactory in spite of the fact that in some parts of the country this and other sprays seriously injure peach leaves, and are not to be recommended. In this case. how ever, no injury was caused by the spray and the trees were kept in good foliage by the treatment.
 A test of various gases for fumigat- ing nursery trees to kill the San Jose scale is reported in this publication and should be of interest to every nur- seryman and orchardist. Other articles in the report dea, with spraying for the San Jose scale. the brown-tail moth. the round-headed ap. pie borer, the hickory tussock moth mosquito breeding conditions at Man. tic, and number of miscellaneous notes on destructive insects.

Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating.

As old age advances, we require less food to replace waste, and food that will not overtax the digestive or gans, while supplying true nourish- ment.
 Such an ideal food is found in Grape-Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of diastase in the barley which changes the starch into sugar.
 The phosphates also, placed up un- der the bran-coat of the wheat, are included in Grape Nuts, but left out of white flour. They are necessary to the building of brain and nerve cells
 'I have used Grape-Nuts," writes an Iowa man. for years and feel as good and am stronger than l was ten years ago. I am over A years old and attend to my business every day.
 Among my customers I meet a man every day who is 92 years old and attributes his good health to Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has used for the last years. He mixes Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they go fine together.
 For many years before l began to eat Grape Nuts, I could not say that I enjoyed life or knew what it was to he able to say I am we'll I suffered greatly with constipation, now my habits are as regular as ever in my life
