The dandelion season will soon
be here. and this recipe sent out by
a government experiment station is
worth remembering: Iron sulphate
or copper as spray solution for the
eradication Of dandeliors has been
tested in the United States with
more or less success. When the
spray solution is properly made
and applied the dandelions can be
killed without injury to blue grass
or white clover, except that the
clover leaves may be spotteo little
by the iron sulphate solution rare
ly enough, however, to dis6gure a
lawn. By keeping the lawn closely
cut and we'll watered the clover and
blue grass will rapidly recover
from any injury which might result
from the spraying.

RESPECT FOR WOMAN

OF all the evils prevailing
among young men we know Of
none more bligh,ing in its moral
effects than the tendency to speak
slightingiy of the virtues of wo-
men. Nor is there anything in
which young men are so thorough
ly mistaken as the low estimate
they form of the integrity Of women
mot Of their own mothers and sis
tiers, thank God, but of others,
who, they forget, are someone's
else mothers and sisters. AS q
rule, no person who surrenders to
this debasing habit is safe to be
trusted with any enterprise requir.
ing integrity Of character. Plain
words should be spoken on this
point, for the evil is q general one
and deep rooted. If young men
are sometimes thrown into the
society Of the thoughtless, they
have no more right to measure
other women by what they see Of
these than they would have to
estimate the character OF honesf
and respectable citizens by the de
velopments of crime in the police
courts. Let young men remember
that their chief happiness in life
depends upon their utter faith 10
women. No worldly wisdom, no
misauthropic philosophy, no gener-
alization, can cover or weaken this
fundamental truth. 1t stands like
the record of God himself-and
should put seal upon lips that are
wont to speak slightingly of wo-
men.

Gently to tell a dying man that the
end was near. He said nothing
about repentance or hell; he told
the man be was about to 60 on q
little journey and that at its end
he would meet all the good friends
who had gone before. He,
must not be afraid. he told
him; all would be we'll. And the

That the financial power of Standard

dated in important ways as the result
Of Henry H. Rogers death, is the opin-
ion entertained in Washington. What

financial group in the country, is always
followed with the keenest concern at
the Capital, in both political and finan-
cial circles.
Mr. Rogers has not recently been
strictly a first-rate figure in the pOliti-

aster which attended his great bull
