Spraying Fruit.

Spraying is preventive and not a
remedy. There are few fungus dis
eases that can be destroyed by spray
ing. but they can also be prevented by
the same operation. The damage done
by disease or an insect can be re-
paired only by the plant Itself. Such
work as can be done to protect It from
further damage is about all that can
be done for It. Spraying should be done
early and the protection made more
complete before the diseases and In
sects appear.

RECOGNIZES A GOOD WORK

Mr.. Roosevelt said:
Long before l came here l had
known of the work that was being
done in Uganda, and felt particularly
anxious to see 1t. Here you have
particularly intelligent native race,
which has already developed a very
interesting culture of its own, cul-
ture both political and social. And the
great work must of necessity be to try
to help that race onward, and to try
to do 1t in a practical fashion, and to
do 1t so that the doing of it shall be
primarily a benefit to the race, and,
secondly, benefit to your own people
from whom you come.
II have the strongest feeling as to
the good that is being done by the
some visible fruit in the life and work
Of the man who breaches If his preach
ing is going to have a very great eff

That visible fruit can be shown in
many different ways, and one Of the
most efficient ways of showing 1t Is
by Just such work as is being done in
connection with this building, which

liar pride to myself to have my name

The Overland
The King Of Cars
No other car has so large sale-none has
made such amazing records Price, $1,000 up.

1t requires four factories, employ
ing 1000 men-turning out 140 Over
lands daily-to meet the floodllike
demand for these cars. Yet two years
ago hundred rivals had a larger
sale.
The reason lies largely in the cars
utter simplicity. It's able designer
made 1t almost trouble-proof.
He created an engine which, for
endurance, Is the marvel of engi-
neering.
He designed the pedal control. One
goes forward or backward, slow or
fast, by merely pushing pedals. The
hands have nothing to do but steer.
A child can master the car in ten
minutes. A novice can drive 1t
thousand miles without any thought
of trouble.
The Overland always keeps going,
and almost cares for itself. All the
usual complexities have been elimiF
mated.
That Is why each car sells others,
and our orders for this years Over
lands amount to $24,000,000.

THE SELF-EDUCATED WOMAN
A Library of Good Books for Cor
ner Out of Earshot of the
Tea Table.

When all is said and done, those of
us who are really educated are self
educated. The best that schools and
colleges can do is to teach us to read
and tell us what books to read and
perhaps help little to form our taste.
For those of us who have, however,
missed schools and colleges, who have
been busy and perhaps won our leisure
too late, there is still education near
at hand and cheap.
A half-dozen great books much read,
a half-doZen or a dozen good books
constantly returned to and thoroughly
known, will be an education to any
one. 1t has so often been said that
the Bible and Shakespeare furnish a
complete education, that it Is truism
to repeat it. For devotional books
every one, Protestant no less than
Catholic, should own that wonderful
book, limitation of Christ" and Cath
Ollie no less than Protestant should
own Theological Germanica" Then,
because devotion is not always at
white heat, THE Sayings of Epictetus"
and the Thoughts of Marcus Aureli-
US" should be kept for strengthening
and quiet.
For the poets, after Shakespeare, a
Milton and Dante preferably in the
little Temple edition, with the Italian
and English side by side), a Shelley
and Keats. and Palgrave's Golden
Treasury"
For amusement, Bunyan's "Pil-
grim's Progress" and Defoe's Robin
son Crusoe," Fielding's tom Jones"
Miss Austen's Pride and Prejudice"
Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre" Thack-
eray's Vanity Fair" Dickens David
Copperfield," George Eliot's mill on
the Floss" and Meredith's "Egoist"
will serve well to give a good idea of
the English novel
This entire library could be bought
for less than $25, and would be not
only an education, but mine of hap
piness and Joy. If one cares to extend
ones view a little bit one may
add Kingley's Greek Heroes and
Plutarch's Lives.-Harper's Bazaar.

WORLD OWES MUCH TO WOMAN
Florence Nightingale Worthy of All
the Honors That Can Be
Paid Her.

The honors paid to Florence Night
ingale on her ninety-first birthday
serve to recall how brief has been the
period during which the sick have had
the benefit of the competent nursing
on which their recovery so largely de-
ponds.
1t is impossible to conceive Of mod
ern medical practise without the aid
OF trained nurses Their efficiency
has undoubtedly been an important
factor in the increased durability Of
disease. Yet but little more than half
a century has elapsed since Miss
Nightingale set out for the Crimea on
her mission which was to revolution
ize hospital work, and it was not until
1872 that the first class of trained
nurses was graduated from the Belle
vue Training School.
From these small beginnings has
grown within a generation the great
humanitarian profession for women for
which they have shown a special apti-
tude and to which they are attracted
in annually, increasing numbers.
The influence of the woman whom
England as also the civilized world
honors beyond perhaps all others has
extended to every sick room. She
gave to the afflicted a new lease OF
life and 10 her sex its noblest voca
ftfon.

Aeronautics Boosted at Fort

Col. w. A. GIassford, Commanding
Officer, Has Spent Life in Signal
Work-Studles Methods In
Europe.

Omaha, Neb.-Ballooning and
general knowledge of aeronautics in
the United States army is receiving
a great boost from the balloon school
now open at Fort Omaha, the head
quarters Of the signal corps of the
army. Hundreds of officers from the
different army posts are being given
the instruction and in groups of from
25 to so are being taught to navigate
the air.
The course includes the building Of
balloons, imitation, the ascent, fight
and descent. During the flight in
structiOn is given in handling the bal
loon and in searching for desired air
currents
At Fort Omaha the government has
erected the largest balloon house in
the world and has installed and
equipped the only plant on the Amer
lean continent for securing hydrogen
by the electrolysis of water. From
this plant hydrogen, under enormous
pressure, is shipped in steel tubes to
other posts in different portions of
the country.
The feature of the present school
is the imported German balloon. 1t
is so built in sections that should any
section be torn by shot or by acct
dent, the great bag would not collapse
and fall. The German" is more than
one hundred feet in height and is guild
ed and controlled by rudder COM
posed of numerous small parachutes.
The army dirigible No. 1, weather
balloons, sphericals and balloons of
numerous shapes make their home in
