The patrons of a well known cata-
logue house have been having a good
deal of trouble of late because the con-
Germ in question made use of patents
in the manufacture of their cheap
cream separators that belonged to an
other firm. A decision handed down
by the United States circuit court not
only enjoins the catalogue house from
selling any more of these machines.
but the individual purchaser from
using them. Whether the supply house
is going to make this loss good to its
patrons is not as yet stated. but it is
hardly likely.

To get rid of the aphids or green lice
which attack the rosebushes in house
or garden there is nothing better than
tobacco infusion. which is made by
adding hot water to tobacco at the
rate of four gallons to a pound Of
tobacco waste or stems. This should
be allowed to stand until cold, when
there should be added to it an ounce
and a half of whale oil soap or three
ounces Of soft soap. This should be
sprayed on the larger bushes, but the
smaller ported plants may be dipped
in it. The treatments should be given
once a week until the lice disappear.

While having a seemingly hard and
tough bark. trees. especially the fruit
bearing kind are exceedingly suscepti-
BILE to damage by fire. This is due to
the fact that the life layer of the tree,
the light yellow cambium layer, is
just beneath the outside bark and, be-
ing so near the surface, is easily affect
ed by an extreme of heat. One learns
the truth of this to his sorrow at times
when fire gets away from him when
burning litter in the garden or when
a fire is accidentally started in the
grass in the orchard.

CHICAGO, Feb. Two women. both

Photographs OF the husband. who both said

letters to prove that my husband married
her before he married me-" To which Mrs.
Reingold retorted by suggesting that per-

Dossick of New York, who. she had been
informed, married her husband before she
herself met him. Mrs. Dossin has heard

he is yet in hopes that a compromise will
be effected on the ground that the truce

to getting together than at any previous

At the first meeting practically no SEM

at the last meeting both committees agreed
on President Rogers OF the Jims and Presi-
dent smyth of the Jacks. But they broke
on the third delegate.
Personally, 1 do not counsel a fight, for

him once and for all where he is.

"I do not understand that Mr. Dahlman
is projecting himself or his policies into
this primary campaign" continued the
leader of the Jacks. He is not asking for
anything, neither is he asking that his
policies be endorsed. What, then, is the
use of all this rumpus. For one, 1 am most
emphatically in favor of a compromise,
though we do not want to give the Jims
anything and L understand the opposition
does not wish to concede anything to u.s."

Smyth bases all his hopes, but should it
approach the Jims 1t does not appear
likely that much good will result.

Mayor Dahlman, adding that he believes
his plebefan followers have done about all
that could be expected in the way of trying
to appease the demands of the pstricians.
"Our petition for a primary is filed and
we will go on now and fight, and fight to
