Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DIR. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

Very few housewives realize the
amount of time they spend in the year
Just dishwashing, although they do APP
preciate its tiresome routine. However,
If handled in a systematic way this
task would not take one-half long
or be one-half as disagreeable. Have
plenty Of towels and hot water. Scrape
the dishes clean as possible ana those
most soiled should be rinsed in hot or cold
water before putting in the dish pan.
White Of egg, gelatine and similar sub
stances should be removed from dishes
with cold water. Greasy foods require
hot water. Cover the dishes with hot
water, in which a tablespoonful of Gold
Dust washing powder has been dis
solved. This is more convenient and effective
than soap. Wash. rinse in clean. warm water

the roots of trees. This can be done
OF course, with almost any kind of
mulch, but best of all with the coal
ashes that our northern homes
waste. This material is porous en-
ough for air while it is retentive of
moisture and heat. The roots be-
meath are protected from sudden at
mospheric changes, and go on doing
their duty without interruption.
But the best thing about it is that
these ashes make splendid material
for the borers to break their jaws
on. Those that gnaw into our
apple and forest trees are met by a
hard proposition and beaten. The
ordinary tree grower does not look
often enough to the roots of his
trees. If he did he would find the
cause of weakness to be the boring
of beetles near or into the roots.
Preventions are always the rule
before remedies, and these can be
thought out in every direction. No
possible set of rules or remedies can
serve for absolute protection. The
tree owners first aim should always
be to secure equalized temperature
and equalized moisture about the
roots of his pets. This equalized
or balanced condition can be distur-
bed in ways not often considered.
If well-developed tree is suddenly
trimmed up five or ten feet, shock
is given to the tree that will very
surely cause disturbance. Half of
our shade trees that suddenly die,
or half die. are put on the road of
decay 10y this unwise trimming 1t
exposes the bark to the sun, causing
clustering and splitting; then insects
enter, as a provision of Nature, to
turn decay into another form Of life,
In this way thousands of our beau
tiful roadside trees are ruined annu-
ally.
This whole subject is Of such
general Importance that it should
be discussed, to the displacement of
more or less politics and theology
1t is not simply a question of the
beauty of our country homes and
our street sides, but a question of
sanitation and comfort. 1t not only
involves an enormous amount Of
wealth, but it is question of the
habitability Of large sections of our
country. Good, healthy ire ELS
breathe out to us ozone and oxygen,
but sickly trees not only fail of
doing this duty, but give US more
or less poison in the way of carbon
ated gases. A village that is we'll
provided with shade trees, wisely
cared for, is healthy village. You
can do nothing better to abolish
fevers from your home than to sur
round your house with clean,
wholesome trees at the same time
over your buildings grape
vines. This is provision of Nature
that what we most need for food
we also most need for health. The
apple tree happens to be on e of the
choicest Of our shade trees as we'll
as fruit trees. A grove of pear trees
is as good a protection as a grove
of NAPLES. At any rate, do not be
whipped by the bugs. II is a square
and fair fight on their part, and it
is not one that is altogether harmful
even if they come out ahead. Nature
does not mean to let US indulge in
sick trees. She Immediately turns
in an, army of hard workers to eat
them up or bore them to the ground.
The owner of a tree should be
careful student, a close investigator,
and should understand that he has
no privileges in the way of breeding
diseased vegetation.

this rate question out before the Inter-
State Commerce Commission. Immed-
late action should also be taken to get
a protective tariff, and it can be had by
united action. Even if we secure a
freight rate equal to the Cuban rate,
without a raise in the tariff, the pine
apple industry in this section can never
successfully compete with the Cuban
crop, raised without fertilizer and with
cheap labor.
Evidently the discrimination against
the Florida pineapple grower in rates
and service and the lack of a protective
tariff, is killing the goose that lays the
golden egg.
