Grants Pass People Should Not Wait
Until IL Is Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from
kidney disease is due in most cases
to the fact that the little kidney
troubles are usually neglected until
they become serious. The slight
symptoms give place to chronic
disorders and the sufferer goes
gradually into the grasp Of diabetes,
dropsy, Brights disease, gravel or
some other serious form of kidney
complaint.

ATTEND TO THE
FALL SPRAYING

Apples, old and young, should be
sprayed before the winter rains be-
gin to prevent anthracnose. No not
wait for leaves to fall Peaches, april
cots, almonds and plums should also
be sprayed at the same time to pre-
vent peach blight or shot hole. In
each case $3.50 Bordeaux should be
used. To make good Bordeaux, dis
solve the bluestone and dilute 1t so
that a quantity equal to half the
combined mixture is made. Slake
the lime and dilute it in the same
way. Then allow the diluted lime
and bluestone to run together
through a pipe or trough into the
spray tank. Never mix in any other
way.
Cauton-The Oregon fruit pest
laws provide severe penalty on per-
sons having pest infected trees or
vines on their premises, or for sell
ing diseased or wrongly named trees.
Pear Blight-This is germ or
bacterial disease of the pear, apple
and ounce. 1t also affects wild
crab apple, haw and serviceberry
The only remedy Is to cut out and
burn all affected parts. Examine
trees carefully during dormant peri
cd to be sure that no blight is held
over in the bodies to produce infec-
tion the following year. Disinfect
your tools with corrosive sublimate
having strength of one to one
thousand. DO not spend your money
or your time with advertised rene
dies. They are worse than useless.

The Supreme Gift,

John Burroughs, in the April Atlantic
 Man has no wings, and yet he can soar above the clouds; he is not swift of foot, and yet he can outspeed the fieetest hound or horse; he has but feeble weapons in his organization, and yet he can stay or master all the great beasts; his eye is not so sharp as that of the eagle or the vul- ture and yet he can see into the farthest depths of sidereal space; he has only very feeble occult powers of communi- cation with his fellows, and yet he can talk around the world and send his voice across mountains and deserts; his hands are weak things beside a lions paw or an elephants trunk, and yet he can move mountains aud stay rivers and set bounds to the widest seas His dog can out smell him and out-run him and out-bite him, and yet his dog looks up to him as to god He has errng reason fin place of unerring instinct, and yet he has changed the face of the planet
 Without the specialization of the lower animals-their wonderful adaptation to particular ends-their tools, their weap- ons, their strength, their speed, man yet makes them all his servants His brain is more than a match for all the special advantages nature has given them. The one gift of reason makes him supreme in the world.

men and women to London, and when Ladie Sophie Scott and Elizabeth, Count ess of Wilton, had exhausted the thea tres, someone took them to the Lambs Club.
 The strangely mixed assembly of la dies from the Gaiety, ladies who are all ways resting the gilded youth actors, and members of the diplomatic corps, appealed immensely to the rather jaded appetite of Lady Sophie, and the news soon spread among her friends, with the result that obscure members of the Lambs now find themselves in the fattering po- sition of receiving imploring letters from fair members of the smart set, asking them to chaperon them to the club.

BLACK MAILERS
 BUSY IN LONDON

London, April 9.-Blackmailers have been meeting with extraordinary success in London society during the past few months By means of threatening letters they have been extorting large sums from husbands and wives of whose indscretions they have become cogn.zant.
 The blackmailers recently caught a tar tar in one woman who received letter and replied to 1t by saying that her solici- tor was one of the foremost in London, and that if her husband in any way showed cognizance of the lies the black mailer threatened to tell of her a warrant for the maligner's arrest would be ap- piled for at once.
 Needless to sey complete silence on the part of the blackmailer has ensued.
 A prominent American, who in his un- married days was guilty of many indis- cretions, received a blackmailing letter from woman with whom he had once associated. He at once handed it over to his wife, and great was the prospective blackmailer's surprise to receive the an swer to the demand for money from the mans wife.
 In the majority of cases the black mailers are successful in their demands as the people to whom they apply would rather pay than be exposed, and for the same reason seldom if ever hand the hlachmaiers over to the police

A Man Whom All Loved.

From James w. Lees Joel Chandler
 Harris In the April Century.
 Joel Chandler Harris was so retiring and unpretentious that he was known by few outside his intimate and daily associates. Every one loved him, but as living proposition he was too subtle and too much outside the general run of mortals for ordinary solution. On the street car even he always sought back seat. He walked on the side of the road where the trees were, and sought in their deep shade to keep himself from the public view Not that he was indifferent to people, for no heart ever sympathized more with human Joy and suffering; but he knew himself and was perfectly aware that he could find himself and be himself more completely hemmed in by the same en- vironing conditions in the midst Of which he had grown into the discovery and the realization of himself on the Turner plantation.

The court bootmalSer exhibited dancing shoes with diamond, pearl and emerald garnitures on the ankle or instep. Paris and Vienna costumiers were among the exhibitors, but the German styles predom- mated. Unconscious tributes to the latter fell from the lips of many who mistook them for foreign importations.
 The exhibitions are said to have proved that German women no longer need go abroad for style or costliness. Male vis- itors came to the conclusion that good form" in Berlin is not only a matter of taste, but of money.

WINE FROSTS PRODUCE
 FAMINE IN FRANCE
Especial from United Press.)

Paris, July 17.-SeVen trains Of pro- vision and clothing for the relief of the famine stricken districts of south ern France were sent out of Paris to- day by the government officials of the Interior Department. Reports from the famine territory show that the ru- ral districts are practically without means of subsistence. All local meas ures for relief have failed and it was found necessary to appeal to the ma tional government.
 The famine is the result of condi- tions which. began with the wine frosts two years ago when the falling off in wine sales ruined hundreds of farmers. Heavy frosts in the early part of this year added to the suffering and the recent earthquake completed the de- yastation. Wine and fruit crops are entirely destroyed and these form the sole resources of the districts. Small village shops have been closed for weeks because of the inability of the villagers to buy and now no meat is obtainable. Potatoes and bread have been the principal articles of food for weeks and now the supply of these staples is practically exhausted.
