ORCHARD DEMONSTRATION
TRAINS IN PENNSYLVANIA.

Beginning on Wednesday, Feb.
10th. a Demonstration Train will
be run on the Cumberland Valley
and Pennsylvania Railroads in the
State of Pennsylvania for the pur-
pose of demonstrating methods of
pruning and spraying and otherwise
caring for fruit trees and other
plants. The primary object of this
effort is to show how to produce the
best possible crops by controlling
plant pests, especially the San Jose
Scale. This work will be in CO.
operation with the railroads named
and the Division of Zoology of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agri-
culture, and will be under the di-
rect supervision of Prof. II. A. Sur
face, State zoologist, who has aided
in preparing the schedule and will
be present on the train at every
stopping place.
The purpose in running this train
this year is not so much to give ex-
tensive demonstrations of methods
of spraying and pruning, as to ex-
hibit apparatus and insecticides, and
show how to make the cheapest,
best and most efficient insecticides
and fungicides for the control of
plant pests (both diseases and in
sects), and, also, to give opportun-
ity for persons visiting the train to
hear lectures and see such practical
demonstrations as are necessary to
indicate the progress made along
this line since the running of the
demonstration trains over the same
railroads a year ago.
There was very great interest TAX
en- in these Demonstration trains last
winter, and hundreds of persons at
tended the demonstrations in the
orchards scheduled, and also heard
the lectures in the lecture cars. The
results last fall were manifest by in
creased quantity and especially i'm
proved quality of the fruit grown
in the regions where these demon
strations were given. The public
has "now full confidence in the
methods advocated by the Division
of Zoology, as there are many re-
cases of conspicuous sue
cess from these methods, and per-
sons who were formerly discourag-
ed in their efforts to control pests,
especially the scale, are now taking
up the subject of fruit growing with
new hope and interest, and are
planting trees extensively. with the
expectation of restoring their or
chards to fruitfulness and profit
In planning the route and sched-
ule for these trains. plans have been
made for five stops per day, averag-
ing nearly two hours at each place
This will be only half as long as the
train stopped at each station last
year, but it will give ample time for
persons to see apparatus in use and
inspect the exhibits. hear the lee
lures and receive literature that will
be distributed. The movements of
the train will be by an appointed
schedule, which has been announced
by posters at the stations and else
where, and also by the local press,

We need more thrift. The aver
age American wage Garner wastes
enough in his youth to make him
comfortable in his old age. We
should take a lesson from France
in this respect. They know how to
enjoy life and at the same time
work hard and save money. They
suffer less from panics and depress-
ed times than any other people, be-
cause nearly every person saves
something against a rainy day. The
French schools teach the children to
save money, and the most frequent
prize given in schools is a savings
bank book with small sum to the
credit of the owner.

RAILROAD SPEED INDICATORS.
Erie Engines Are Being Equipped
With Them-Value of Invention.

Erie Engines Are Being Equipped
With Them-Value of Invention.
A few of the engines on the Sus-
quehanna division of the Erie rail-
road have recently been equipped
with new speed recorders, which
make a record of the exact speed
of the train at any moment.
1t is device placed in the cab of
the engine and connected with the
journal box. A long tape of paper
is placed on a wheel in the machine
and unrolls as the train goes along
A line is drawn on the paper in this
process showing just the rate at
which the engine is travelling. The
stations are marked on the tape so
that at the end of the route by con-
sulting the record the work of the
engineer can be determined. 1t also
enables the engineer to know what
speed he is making.
The value of this invention will
be found in cases of accidents as it
will show how fast the train was
running at any certain point along
the route 1t is expected that event
ually all trains on the Erie will be
equipped with these devices.

One of the traits of a wide awake
progressive town is civic pride. It
is good trait, for while sometimes
il leads one into making slightly ex-
asgerated statements. yet in the
main it is a good, healthy feeling
for the individual, and at all times
conducive to the prosperity and
growth of his city. 1t makes one
vigorous in Defense and persistent
in undertakings; it is an incentive
20 industry; it makes the individual
sontented and therefore happy. Be
heye in your town and talk your
belief. If you have any old fogies
remember they are in the minority,
and that it takes all kinds of people
TO make a world anyway. Encour-
age live people to move in by max
ing it worth their while. Welcome
outside capital in developing any
natural resources the town has.
Don't begrudge the dollars the en-
terprising man makes, but hustle
around and collar a few yourself.
Above all pull together" and the
town will ride the high wave of
prosperity over the most discourage
ing breakers. and every inhabitant
will get his or her share of the
profit from the voyage.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caus-
ed by an infiamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when il is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an infiamed condition
OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured

NEXT MONDAY NIGHT.
Nobody Should Miss Seeing 1.-The

Soul Kiss"
Something out of the ordinary is
promised in the engagement of The
Soul Kiss" which comes to the Lyric
on Monday. Feb. 2Sth, for an en-
gagement of one night only. The
Soul Kiss was considered the most
successful comedy produced at the
New York Theatre. The critics
there united in extending to this pro-
duction exceptional praise, both for
the cleverness of it's book and the
tunefulness of it's music. The work
is the point product of Harry b.
Smith and Maurice Levi. The plot
of THE Soul Kiss" is more consist
ent and reasonable than is usually
found in musical plays and contains
a number of novel surprises for
jaded theatre-goers. The music of
the piece is written in Maurice Lewis
best vein. There are over a dozen
tuneful numbers in the piece. No
one can hear the melodious music
without getting some pleasure out
of it, Altogether, "The Soul Kiss"
is sparkling and vivacious enough to
satisfy anybody.

Two Vital Things Required
in Treating Skin Diseases. /.

In treating and curing Eczema and
other we'll defined skin diseases. two
vital things must be done. One is to
exclude dust germs and air from the
diseased parts. and the other is to set
up the healing process at the same
time. The new medical preparation
called Cadum accomplshes both these
results, 50 effectively that the itching
is stopped as soon as it is applied, and
the sore parts heal up in awonderfully
short time. Any one with skin trouble
can, test Cadum by getting a 10-cent
box at any drug store, and thus per-
sonally realize the power of this new
compound. which is just as effective in
the cure of pimples, blotches, black
heads, eruptions acne, herpes, scaly
skin. rash. sores, chafings, etc.
