men in America, and at the age Of six
teen went to Germany, where he re-
Ceived his education. On his return
TO America, 1865, he studied theology
and in 1872, after having been pastor
in churches at New Germantown and
Bedminister, n j., he assumed charge
of the Lutheran congregation at Wood
stock, Va. Rev. Peter Muhlenberg
enjoyed the friendship of Gen. Wash
ington and when the Revolutionary
war was declared Washington, at
tracted by the clergyman's ardent
patriotism, induced him to accept a
cOlOnels commission.
After he had received his appoint
ment Muhlenberg took leave of his
congregation in sermon in which,
after elOquently depicting the wrongs
this country had suffered from Great
Britain, he exclaimed: There is a
time for all things-a time to preach
and time to pray; but there is also
a time to fight, and that time has now
come" Then, pronouncing the bene-
diction, he threw off his gown, dis
playing a full military uniform. Pro-
ceeding to the door of the church, he
ordered the drums to beat for recruits,
and nearlv 800 of his congregation re-
sponded to the appeal He was a
brave man and a man Of action.
The statue Of Gen. Muhlenberg,
which was unveiled recently, stands
on the southern plaza of the City hall.
On the base Of the statue is a scene
in relief showing Muhlenberg in the
pulpit Of the church at Woodstock,
Va, taking off his clerical robes and
revealing his coloneIs uniform. The
unwilling ceremonies were very i'm.
pressive. A feature of the exercises
was a big parade in which the Ger
man and Irish races were represented
and in which marched detail of the
National Guard Of Pennsylvania and
a detachment Of sailors and marines
from the Philadelphia navy yard. The
exercises were in charge of the Ger
man Society of Pennsylvania, which
was Instrumental in erecting the
statue.

plants in June and are sometimes
plentiful enough at that time to cause
quite a punching and Gripping Of ter
minal shoots.
Except in this position they are
rarely seen by the fruit grower, who
will not ordinarily suspect root insects
when the trees begin to turn yellow
and look sickly about midsummer
In dealing with these insects pre-
vention is better than cure. No trees
should be set without being carefully
examined for root lice and if any are
noticed, the roots should be dipped
into strong tobacco decoction and
thoroughly wet. Or they may be
dipped into clean water so as to wet
thoroughly, then dipped into pail Of
tobacco dust SO as to powder them
thoroughly and handful OF the dust
or ground tobacco should be thrown
around the roots before the soil is
drawn upon them and pressed down.
Nothing is better and safer than to-
bacco for this purpose, and IL this
practise is carried out there will be
few plant lice left to make trouble.
II this precaution has not been
taken and injury develops, the tree
should be stimulated by appropriate
fertilizers, and there should be, in ad-
1ition, liberal application Of tobacco
dust or ground tobacco in a basin
around the trunk of the tree, the dust
10 be covered over with soil to pre-
vent it's being blown away or other
wise disturbed. A decoction may be
used instead of the dust, but there
should be at least a gallon to tree
If older than two years, and the basin
should be deep enough to reach the
surface roots.
AS the insects do not usually get
very far away from the trunk on
Young trees, the outer circle Of the
basin need not be much over IS inches
In diameter The tobacco is in itself
fertilizer and worth almost as much
as it costs, as such, so it's use secures
4 double effect. When q tree is once
fully established and has reached the
bearing age it rarely suffers If it is
reasonably we'll fed and otherwise
cared for
If a tree Is killed by these insects,
another one should not be set into it's
place without having liberal amount
Of ground tobacco mixed with the soil
packed around 1t.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago, some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when I
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
In painful, burning way, very much
as bad, raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. / was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, would
scratch the worst places SO that my
finger-tips would be bloody. I could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then / would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely DIS
toilet soap before, now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. / COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp used about one half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box Of
Cuticura Ointment In all. The first
time took SIX or seven bottles Of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te-
deus treatment Since then I have
had no scalp trouble Of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
comes to my knees and had 1t not been
for Cuticura I should doubtless be
wholly bald.
This Is a voluntary, unsolicited tes-
timonial and take pleasure in writing
1t, hoping my experience may help
someone else. Miss Lillian Brown,

KILLING BLACK PEACH APHIS
Tobacco Applied Literally In Ground
or in Liquid Form Is Best and
Safest Remedy.

Black peach aphis is often found
In small numbers on nursery trees,
especially those grown on light soils.
Proper fumigation will kill these lice,
but growers generally object to fumi-
gated trees and nurserymen will not
as a rule fumigate unless they must.
When such infested trees are set out
in light land the lice multiply and
feed on the small rootlets near the
trunk, working outward later as they
increase in number. Little trouble is
noted during a first season as rule,
but during the early part of the sec
ond year the insects become plentiful
enough to attract attention. They be-
