The potato bug. or Colorado potato
beetle, passes tie winter in the ma
turc form. AS soon as the potatoes
ere ND these bugs begin feeding and
laying eggs on the young leaves. h
Young that haCh from these eggs as
well as the next brood. are the ones
that do the damage. Therefore, it is
necessary that treatment should be be-
gun as soOn as the young beetles ap-
pear on the vines. Dust the plants
while the dew is on, with a mixture
made of / pound Paris green to 10
hounds Of slaked lime or cheap Hour.
Another good method is to spray the
plants with a composition of , ounces
of Paris green in so gallons Of Bor-
leauX mixture. spraying the vines two
or three times. For this purpose the
Bordeaux mixture should be made out
of 3 pounds of ]bluestOne and 5 pounds
of lime to so gallons of water. This
mixture will not only kill the beetle,
but also prevent the early blight from
destroying the leaves and stems Of the
vines.

Price Of His treason.

Benedict Arnold died in London June
IA, 1901. His life after his treason was
a most unhappy one. He was avoided
by men Of honor and on many occa'
sions deliberately insulted. He received
a considerable sum of money from the
British government and made several
unsuccessful attempts to engage in bust
ness in British America and the West
Indies and finally returned to London,
where he died in obscurity. His second
son, born in 17S0, entered the British
army in 1893, served with credit in
many parts of the world and three
years before his death in 1854 was
made a lieutenant general.-Househoid

Raising Rhubnrb.

Rhubarb requires a deep and very
fertile soil. The great secret of sue
cess in raising it is high manuring. 1t
is a gross feeder, and requires a lib
eral application of MANURE every year.

rhubarb of enormous size explains his
success from his practice of throwing
soapsuds over the ground on washing

Wood Ashes.

Ashes made from hard wood are
more valuable thar those made from
soft wood. 1t is claimed that some
ashes from soft wood have not enough
value to make it worth while to bother
with them. 1t has also been discovered
that the value is largely governed by
the part of the tree from which the
ashes are made. 1t is declared by
chemists that the ashes of young twlgs
are of more value than the ash or
the trunk of the tree, while the ASH
of the leaves is still more valuable.

The sundry civil appropriation bill, car
rying a total of about 500, 5000, was
passed by the Senate Thursday. This is
the last of the large supply bills, and its
passage places the Senate squarely along
side the House in the consideration OF
the appropriation bills. and of the entire
fourteen leaves only the general deficiency
and the military academy bills to be con-
sidered. A portion of the session was de-
voted to the consideration of the bill sus-
pending the penalty feature of the COM
modify clause of the railroad rate bill.
The House devoted the entire day to the
Vreeland currency bill, which was finally
passed under suspension of the rules.

passed by the House Thursday, was de-
livered to the Senate Friday and at once
sent to the committee on finance. Sena-
tor Aldrich promptly made a report from
the committee substituting the Aldrich
bill in an amended form, and it was
passed by the Senate. This action threw
the bill into conference, and an effort
will be made to reach IN agreement at
an early day. The work of cleaning up
legislation in the House preparatory to

pace. With only a short time allowed
for debate the military academy appro-
p~riation bill and the omnibus public build
ing bill were passed, leaving of the sup
ply bills only the general deficiency bill
to be considered. Eight hundred and
twenty-five private pension bills were put
through. A bitter and sensational attack

His Steady and Rapid Improvement at Paso Robles Springs.

PasO Robles, April 17.-"Tll soon be on the quarter deck again." said Ad- miral Evans to pr. l.. E. Phillips. as he came from the baths today The commander in chief was feeling un- usually bright and looking much bet ter than at any time since his arriv- al. In the afternoon he spent an hour on the lawn watching the various games, and appeared in a jovial mood The admiral was moving about with greater ease and appeared gradually to be growing stronger
 Evans confirmed the report that Admiral Thomas will give up the con- mand soon after the arrival of the fleet at San Francisco and explained that il will enable Admiral Sperry to thoroughly get in hand before he starts with the fleet on the world voyage.
 , It's just like Charlie Thomas to do something handsome for somebody else" said the commander in chief.
 Evans paid a glowing tribute to Thomas for his faithfulness and ioyal- ty to him during the long cruise from Hampton Roads and he spoke in the highest terms of praise of the manner in which he performed many of the arduous tasks of the commander in chief because of the latter's sickness, and represented him at all social functions.

STRONG AS A MULE. Farmer Gets Power From Food.

Anyone can better his condition, if eating improper food. by changing to the right kind.
 It is becoming well known among all classes of people in this country that strength of mind and body come from the nourishment that is taken into the system in the form of food. A cowboy whose stomach got all out of order on g. ranch, went to farming and incidentally found the cause of his trouble and the way out Of it. He writes:
 'I was raised on a COW ranch, lived like the rest, on beef and potatoes. of ten eating too much. until my stomach became so weak and I was so run down I had to cult the job.
 Then tried farming but did not get any better. My nerves were all unstrung and I could not sleep at night A year ago I saw an ad. about Grape-Nuts being such a wonderful food. and told my wife I was going to try it.
 50 I bought a box of Grape Nuts and by the time I had used this food two weeks, the weakness began tn leave my stomach. q
 Now I weigh 1s4 lbs. and arr as strong as a mule. We eat Grape Nuts for breakfast. and l also take come as lunch between meals. I must say that Grape Nuts is the best fool there is. and nearly everyone in town. see ing my improvement, has taken to eating it.

WHAT LIKELY TO HAPPEN
 IN THE TOWN OF TUCSON
On the Eve of the Convention All Talk of
 Instruction Has Ceased
The Plans Involve Commentator of Senator For aker--IndicatiOns That art of Each of the Mari cOpa Delegations Will Be Seated.

Tucson, April r.. -tSpeciaD Tue son is seething with territorial repub- i liean politics tonight on the eve of the convention, which will meet tomorrow at noon for the selection of two dele gates to the Chicago convention. About one ethird of the delegates are already on the ground. Both of the delegations from Cochise county. the two from Gila, and the Graham coun- ty delegation arrived tonight.
 The convention will be called to or der by Chairman H. B. Penney of the territorial central committee and Col. William Herring of Pima will be tenn pOrary chairman. Either Hon. Rob- ert E. Morrison of Yavapai or Col A J. Doran of the same county will be permanent chairman.
 As to precisely what will happen af- ter that depends upon the delegation from Pima, which is somewhat in the airI tonight. The majority of the del- egation is back of w J. Kirkpatrick for national committeeman and it is believed that his appointment will be recommended by the convention. It is reasonably certain that Hon. R. F. Sloan will be named as the delegate from the north but all politicians are at sea 10 night as to the identity of the other delegate. who is described tonight as a dark horse
 It is also quite certain that there will be no instructions of any charac- ter and no expression that can be con strued as an endorsement of any candidate for the presidential nomi- nation.
 According to present plans the plat form will contain a plank heartily commenting Senator Foraker for his successful efforts in behalf of Arizo- na in the joint statehood fight The administration of President Roosevelt and that of Governor Kibbey will be endorsed. It is said tonight that these endorsements will De conceded as an offset to the Foraker resolution
 There is no talk at all of instruc- tions. The Pima delegates are wear ing badges of "uninstructions" Both delegations from Cocfise are against instructions and even the Smalley del egation from Gila disclaims any wish to send instructed delegates to the A<itAOhdi NOuNcHliOli I ut OiS 1dNdpdi delegation is bound by inclinations and the unit rule against instructions.
 The most interesting conjecture to- night is concerning the contested del- egations. There was a recurring ru- mor this afternoon that the Pima del- egation favored the seating of the Kibbey delegation from Maricopa. but it is authoritatively denied tonight that any such expression has been made by any member or the delegation but the indications are that a part of the Adams delegation will be seated. In fact, members of the convention have stated that that will no doubt be the best way out of the Maricopa county trouble.
