SHIRTS WITHOUT CUFFS.

An appeal now almost becoming a
demand goes up from the thousands
of shirt-wearers of this broad land:
"Give US shirts without cuffs!" From
a small beginning with a disgruntled
mechanic, the hue and cry has become
of such volume as to threaten to reach
the ears of the manufacturers of this
necessary article. And why?
Simply this: The shirt with cuffs at
tached is the boon of the laundryman.
For him it is the most profitable in
vention of the decade, for it is almost
impossible for the average man to
wear this sort of shirt for more than
two days without getting the cuffs
soiled. Without cuffs. it might last
three or four days, if necessity obliged
him to be very economical
This type of shirt has not been in
existence for long, and many wish it
would go out of existence right now.
However. there are many things about
the shirt-and-c uffs-attached which
make it necessary that it should still
be manufactured, so that the plea for
shirts-with- no-cuffs- attached is made
not for the total abolition of the for
mer kind, but for the more liberal
manufacturer of the latter variety

TAFT ~ KANSAS.

There is little or no opposition to
the denomination of Taft among Kan
Senator BristoW that he favored the
nomination of Senator La Toilette did
not start ripple of approval and was
generally set down as mere express
sion OF pique on the part of our
junior senator. The leading "insurg-
emit newspapers have taken the OPP
portunity to declare themselves for
Taft and the regulars were already
Tor the president, so the situation was
actually cleared. fractional politics
there is a general disposition among
the Republicans to lay aside their
differences, at least as to the presi-
dency. There has been considerable
opposition to Canadian reciprocity in
this state, because of a fear that it
would lower the price of Kansas
wheat, but the honesty and good in
tention of President Taft are never
questioned and the opponents of
reciprocity admire his courage and
fighting qualities.
The record made by the Taft ad-
ministration will be the platform on
which the Republicans of Kansas can
make a winning fight Sometimes he
has been misunderstood and some
times he has been misrepresented,
but he is now regarded as states
man who stands for right, regardless
of faction or personal advantage The
pc ople trust Taft more than they do
the political parties, and they think
he has displayed under the fire of an
unfriendiy press on some matters and
the equal bravery he has shown in
standing for what he thinks is right
when it seems to help his political
enemies, are the basis for the pres
ent strength and popularity of the
president in Kansas. - Hutchinson

DAME NATURE HINTS

When Nature gives her signal that
something Is wrong It is generally
with the food; the old Dame is always
faithful and one should act at once.
To put off the change is to risk that
which may be irreparable. An Ari-
zona man says:
For years I could not safely eat
any breakfast. I tried all kinds Of
breakfast foods, but they were all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches. drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for l found the toast
very constipating.
"a friend persuaded me to quit cof-
fee and the starchy breakfast foods.
and use Postum and Grape-Nuts in
stead shall never regret taking his
advice.

(By J. THOs. MACKENZIEo
These pests have been increasingly
abundant in some parts of the coun-
try during the past few years and ev-
cry effort possible should be made to
control and destroy them.
These beetles hibernate in rubbish
under leaves and any shelter they can
md. and become active early in
March and April. The eggs are laid
~ soon as the beetles can find buds
in suitable condition and the earliest
of these are on the cultivated straw
berry. The females continue feeding
and laying eggs until after the middle
of June attacking In succession after
the strawberry. dewberry. wild straw
berry and blackberry.
Development from egg to adult re-
Quires about one month. These feed
but little and disappear into hiber-
mating quarters shortly afterward.
The actual damage done by these
insects is not really measured by the
percentage of buds destroyed, because
these are the earliest, that would or
dinarily have been the finest berries
and brought the highest price.
The injury cause is due to the feed
ing habit of the larva which requires
pollen for its development. The
female beetle. therefore. lays its
rather large. white. glistening egg into
a we'll developed bud Of staminate
variety and, In order to prevent fur
ther development, punctures the flow
er stalk just below 1t. In day or
two the bud willis. the stalk breaks at
the point of puncture, and usually the
bud drops to the ground. although 1t
may hang on for some days by few
threads Of tissue. This dropping to
the ground favors the development of
the larva which, exposed to the hot
sun. might otherwise dry up. or the
bud itself might become too hard and
unfit for food.
There is no period in the life Of this
insect when 1t can be satisfactorily
reached by insecticides. The adult
feeds. little. usually on pollen or by
eating holes into the well developed
blossom buds. Whether the insect
devours the tissue when it cuts
through the flower stalks is not
known. The larva feeds in shelter
continuously and is entirely beyond
our reach.
AS the larva feeds only on pollen,
pistillate plants which bear none are
free from attack and the obvious rec
ommendation is to plant pistillate vari-
eties with, every third or fourth row
of some profusely Towering staminate
