many nuts to terminate. make the
group an important one from an eco
nomic standpoint
Nuts are attacked by great va
riety of insects, but the most serious
injuries are done by moths and snout
beetles. The larvae of several species
of moths may be found in chestnuts,
beechnuts and acorns, particularly in
nuts that have their shells broken
so as to permit easy entrance to the
kernel by the insects. The damage
wrought by the class of insects known
as snout beetles, however, is greatly
in excess of that done by all other
kinds combined.
The term "snout beetle" is applied
10 the adults of the group of insects
on account of the peculiar structure
of the head, the front part of which
Is prolonged into snout or proboscis.
In some species this snout Is short
and stout and in others it Is long,
slender and wire-like. In the females
of some of the nut weevils 1t is longer
than the rest of the body. The mouth,
which is armed with a minute but
strong pair of Jaws, is situated on the
apex of the snout and the appendage
is used for piercing or puncturing vari-

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in.
furious effects of coffee and the change
In health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent Of public schools
In a Southern state says: MY moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for number
of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
"Some time ago / was making an Of
fetal visit to distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants Of the place. l noticed
a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum. l was so
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it SO well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
nau really Deen AT times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest Of us.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam
lily, but in more marked degree in
the case of my mother, as she was a
victim of long standing"
Ever read the above letters new

are genuine, true, and full of human

EOT THE TIME FOR THAT
Scotsmen Objected to Mixture OF Good
Whisky and Religious Con-
versation. ..

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was
the principal guest at dinner OF the
London Authors club recently, which
was followed by a discussion on
"Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with a
story deprecating the spelling OF a
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in the
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck note
of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane; otherwise ST.
lenee reigned.
This was broken by one of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
Sandy, I'm thinking il yon fly is a
birdie or beastie."
The other replied: Man. don't spoil
good whisky with religious converse

food and to provide an opening In
which'to deposit eggs.
Chestnuts are frequently gathered
that appear sound at first. but within
ten days or two weeks thereafter be-
come excessively "wormy." Where
these worms" come from has often
been a matter of conjecture on the
part of those who handle nuts. IL Is
common belief that they originate
from the sting" of some insect ad-
ministered at the time the trees are
in bloom. AS matter OF fact, they
hatch from eggs that are in the nuts
at the time the nuts are gathered.
Most of these eggs are deposited by,
this chestnut weevil a short time pre-
vious to the dropping of the nuts
from the trees.
The common acorn weevil is the
largest of the weevils attacking
acorns. In size 1t is similar to the
hickorynut weevil but in color 1t more
nearly resembles the larger chestnut
weevil. The spots on the back are
smaller than in the latter species,
however, and are not so bright and
conspicuous. The snout is very slen-
der and is curved at the point In
the female, 1t is nearly half an inch
in length, or, about a fifth longer than
the body In the male, It Is two-thirds
as long as the body. The pygidium.

(By FRED S. BROOKS. Associate Ento--
mologist. West Virginia University Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station)
The forests of West Virginia are
rich in native nut-bearing trees and
shrubs. At least twenty-seven species
are found that bear nuts which are
used as food by man or by the animals
that are Of value to man. The nut
bearing trees furnish also the bulk
OF hardwood timber that is produced
in the state.
With the probable exception of the
beechnut, all the more common varie-
ties of nuts. and, presumably, those
that are less common as well, are at
tackled by the larvae, or grubs, of over
a dozen different species of snout
beetles. Some of these larvae feed
on the husks and inner tissues of i'm
mature nuts and others ON the kerr
nels OF nuts that are more nearly
ripe. Young walnuts and hickorynuts
are frequently attacked soon after the
blossoms fall from the trees and the
infested nuts drop to the ground be-
fore they are half grown. Chestnuts,
acorns and some other varieties sus-
tain the greatest injury as they APP
proach maturity. 1t is not unusual
for chestnuts that are kept week or
two after gathering to become from SO
per cent. to rs per cent. "wormy" and
acorns often suffer to even a greater
extent The infested nuts are rem
iered unfit for food and in many cases
are so badly eaten that they will not

MADE FROM MELONS
DAlNTIEs WITH WHICH ALL ARE
NOT FAMILIAR.
Recipes for Sherbets From the Fruit
and Preserves From the Rind--
The Proper Way to Serve
Canteloupe k

Tempting sherbets are made from
Doth canteloupe and watermelon.
There are conserves to be made of
the rinds, perhaps in combipation with
another fruit or vegetable. There
are salads which may be concocted
by adding to melons, cut into small
cubes, a sprinkling of nuts and a
spoonful of mayonnaise.
But first catch your melon A ripe
canteloupe can be told by an examina-
ton of the stem end. Break small
piece from this and see If the melon
Is fragrant If 1t smells spicy the
melon is ripe. 1t is mistake to put
Ice into a canteloupe, as is generally
done. This takes away considerably
from the sweetness of the melon meat.
The canteloupe should be served In
bed of cracked ice. A toothsome des-.
sert is made by filling canteloupe
skin with vanilla ice cream and pour
ing over the ice cream a mild ginger
syrup.
For Watermelon Sherbet.-Boil a
pound of sugar and quart of water
tablespoonfuls of gelatine which has
been soaked in half cupful of cold
water for an hour, then when dis
solved, strain and pour into the freez-
er. Add one pint of orange juice and
freeze. When nearly frozen add two
cupfuls Of pink watermelon dice, and
let stand packed in ice and salt for
an hour and half
In making canteloupe sherbet, soak
one teaspoonful of gelatine in a half
cup of cold water for an hour. Add
one-half cup boiling water. When the
gelatine is quite dissolved, add one
cupful Of cold water, three-fourths
cup of sugar, and the mashed pulp
and juice of melon about the size Of
cocoanut
Picked canteloupes are not found
on the average table. But they GER
tainly deserve a place there. These
belong to the sweet pickle variety.
Select melons not quite ripe. Cut into
oblong pieces. take off the rind and
soft parts near the seeds. To every
eight pounds of melon allow one pint
vinegar and three pounds of sugar.
Mix half teaspoonful each ground
mace and cloves and one teaspoonful
each cinnamon, ginger and allspice.
Tie in little piece of cheesecloth and
scald with the vinegar. Cook the
melons in the hot syrup until tender.
then skim out into a, bowl. Boil the
liquor down and pour over the melon
Repeat this three Or four times. and
the last time heat the melon with the
syrup. Put into jars and seal.
An excellent conserve of melon rinds
| can be made. Pare off the green part
Of the melon rind and all the pink, cut
into inch pieces, shaping as desired
and weigh. For five pounds of the
rind allow one quart of water and a
pint of vinegar. Scald the water and
vinegar, add the rind and boil 10 min
utes. Remove the rind with skim
mer and drain perfectly dry.
Place in the preserving kettle pint
of water and 3k pounds of sugar. Boil,
skim, add the melon pieces ard two
ounces green ginger cut in slices.
Cook until the melon is clear and ten
der, remove with skinner and put
in glass jars. Boil the syrup 10 or
Is minutes longer, fill the jars with

with cockerels when early pullets are

prising that any system purporting to
regulate the sex is eagerly tried by
Breeders. We have heard 1t claimed
that the pointed eggs Matched pullets
and the round ones cockerels, and
then again the opposite is claimed.

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first 1t seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the I'M
derneath skin red as though 1t were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top OF her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. II was aw-
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and 1t came of. I'm.
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of fat little baby and all
is well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes OF Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. II people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer-
