Much concern is expressed by orchard.
ISIS IN Maine who are troubled by de-
FORMED and worthless fruit. One fruit
grower in Oxford reports 60 barrels Of
worthless fruit last season and prospect
OF several hundred dollars loss this, and
various orchards over at least the south
efn tnlrd OF the State are in similar
condition. Orchard owners who have
nad trouble with gnarled and pitted
apples are urged to examine their fruit
at once for the crescent shaped wound
which the curculio makes, and which at
thls season IS easily recognized:
Apple injury by the Curculio Como
s s"; nenuphar) is one of the most
serious insect troubles in the Maine
orchards, and one least recognized by
apple growers. AS it is to all appear
ances rapidly on the increase, orchardists
cannot afford to neglect the alarming
situation.
This trouble is of such a serious char
acter and of such economic Importance
that the Maine Station has kept record
OF orchards where complaints of deform-
cd fruit IN the fall have been made and
visited these the next spring (l907, 1908,
l909) at which time the trouble could be
definitely determined The curculio has
been bred by the Station Entomologist.
from the young apples troubled in this
way, the effects of the curculio wounds
on apples at different stages noted, and
the situation carefully studied.
The methods of controlling this pest
are tedious but effective and possible,
and Gf apples are to be grown in Or
chards now infesteD necessary. They
are also beneficial to the orchard in other
respects. Specimens of deformed apples
will be examined and the curculio work,
it present, identified for any orchardist
in the State applying to the Station for
information. Such specimens should be
presented within the next fortnight
while the wounds are still characteristic.
No less than one quart of apples should
be submitted for this purpose
An illustrated circular on the Plum
Curculio and the apple, giving life his

CURIOUS DEEDS.

Perhaps the most curious consideration
ever named in a deed is that in one
shown US recently by Register of Deeds
w. o. Emery, of Hancock county. The
deed is dated August 8, 1903, and record
ed in Lincoln county, from which Han
cock and Washington counties were set
off in 1889 The deed reads as follows:
Know all men by these presents that Henry
Knox of Thomaston in the county of Lincoln
Esquire and Lucy my wife, in consideration of
one dollar paid by Huldah Treat Widow of
William Treat late of Prospect deceased, and
in further consideration that her late husband
lost his life in an operation to obtain money
to paw for this lot and in further consideration
of the prolific qualities of the said Huldah,
she having had several pair of twins, trusting
that she who had so much trouble in producing
the said children, will never forsake their in
terests, and further that she will never ALLEVIATE
this lot of land while she lives, the receipt
whereof we do hereby acknowledge, do hereby
give, grant, sell and convey, unto the said
Huldah Treat her heirs and assigns forever,
Then follows the description of the
property Another curious deed is an
Indian deed, from one Mowhotiwormet, of
Nequasset, commonly called Robin Hood,
who ''for diverse good causes and con-
siderations and especially for one hogs
head of corn and thirty pumpions" sells
to Edward Bateman and John Browne a
large tract of land between the "Sacadi-
ock' and "Shepscooke" rivers, in what
is now the town of Georgetown, in Saga
dahoc county, and where there is cove
still known at Robin Hood cove, probably
named for this same Indian The deed
is dated September 8, 1866, and conveys
''the grounds, woods, rivers and coves,"
with ''free liberty to build, plant, en-
close, empale, FISH, fowl, hawk and hunt
within the premises without
molestation or disturbance either by
English or Indian" The signatures are

THE CONTENTS OF SENATOR HoAR.

Long before the days of Directoire
gowns, when appendicitis was still the
most fashionable thing one could have, a
friend of the late Senator Hoar was
stricken down. For time an operation
was thought necessary, but it finally
turned out that the trouble was not ap-
pendicitis at merely acute indiges-
ton. Whereupon the venerable Massa-
chusetts statesman sent this message of
congratulation:
Il rejoice that the difficulty lay in the
table Of contents rather than in the APP
pendiX.

If YOU NEED
STRENGTH
Then Try the Tonic Recon-.
mended by This Franklin,
Maine, Woman.

When the blood becomes thin, as dur
ing convalescence from the grip or acute
fevers, all of the organs and tissues of
the body suffer from lack of nourish-
ment, for it is the blood that is con-
stantly carrying to every part of the
human system the materials with which
to repair the waste that is going on
throughout life. Naturally the weak
est organ is the first to show the result
of this blood starvation and any inher-
tied tendency to disease is then likely to
develop. Whatever it may be, if the
trouble is caused by lack Of blood it
must be corrected by building up the
blood.
The cure of Mrs. Albert Mclaughlin,
OF Franklin, Maine, shows the value of
the tonic treatment with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills in all diseases due to impure
blood. She says:
"When l was about ten years old
had scarlet fever and was sick from its
after-etfects until my seventeenth year.
Every month I would be so sick for a
day or so that would have to lie down.
would be dizzy and have awful head
aches. It seemed that my head ached
all over. I would also be sick to my
stomach during these spells. I was
always nervous and was easily excited.
II was treated by different doctors
and was told that my sickness was due
to impurities in the blood. They did
not help me much and I tried several
medicines. Finally tried DR.. Will
fiams' Pink Pills which friend recon-
mended to me. After taking them
while noticed that my appetite was a
lot better and that I had no more sick
spells. I took several boxes and have
been well and strong since"
Nature needs some help in mest cases
in fighting disease and the tonic treat
ment with DR.. Williams Pink Pills is
the most efficient that can be given.
They contain no stimulant, opiate or
narcotic and cannot injure the most
delicate constitution Our booklet,
Diseases of the Blood" will be sent
free upon request. If you are suffering
from impoverished blood you cannot
afford to wait another day before giving
DR.. Williams Pink Pills a trial.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
Ill druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
'eipt Of price, &c. per box; six boxes
or $3.50, by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Love Brings Husband to Wife's Faith

4OCIETY in Washington as in at
~ least two other cities of the United
States has been peculiarly interested
In the announcement that Evelyn
Walsh Mclean, daughter of Thomas
Walsh, the Colorado mining king, has
brought her husband, Edward B. Nc
Lean, son of Publisher John r. Mclean,
of the Cincinnati Enquirer to the Ro-
man Catholic faith. The date of the
ceremony which is to bring the young
Scotch husband into the church of his
1rish-American wife is not announced,
but it will probably be an event of
some importance in a social way here.
Evelyn Walsh had been in the pub
lie eye to an unusual degree before
her marriage last August to young
Mclean. Each of the young people
has few millions on hand right now,
without waiting for the death of their
respective parents, which will boost
the family bank account up to pretty
nearly $100,00o.00o.
The Walsh-McLean engagement had
been announced, the respective papas
had given their consent, the date had
been announced and the brides father
had announced his intention to expend
$4,000 in the .laudable purpose of
making his daughters nuptials the
most torrid and lavish stunt in the rec

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple,

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely ia
old notions of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap.
piness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea new
to them and stepped up several rounds
on the health ladder. The husband
writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow, weak and irritable
My wife and l both loved coffee and
thought it was a hracer." (delusion)
FINALLY, after years Of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made it right we liked it
and were relieved of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc. ~ 81 } IL 49,
These changes were not sudden,
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right. But when they boiled
Postum according to, directions on
pkg, until it, was dark and rich, they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" There's
