tomologist or his authorized deputy to have and keep in his possession outside of the weevl-nfested territory any living stage of the Mexican cotton boil weevil, but provision is made so that anyone can send specimens suspected of being weevil or it's work to the entomologist at Au burn for examination and Identification. Such specimens shall be securely packed and tightly wrapped in boxes or pack ages not subject to breakage.
 Either individuals or common carriers who may violate the boil weevl quar- antine regulations render themselves liable to legal prosecution, and in case of con- viction the law states that they shall be fined not les sthan $1OO nor more than $500"
 The application of these quarantine reg ulations will infiict temporary inconven- fence upon a good many people. It is the purpose of the regulations to protect the cotton planters of this and other states against avoidable infestation in advance of the general movement of the weevil which occurs each year by flight during the fall months. At the same time every effort is being made to avoid restrictions upon shipment which might not involve any considerable danger of spreading the weevil. For this reason the move ment of cotton seed meal is not prohibit ed. Any shipments of cotton seed, hulls or other cotton products, household goods. etc., which may properly be made should have an affidavit accompanying the ship ment showing that 1t contains none of the prohibited articles, or that in other respects the shipment Is proper and may safely be allowed. In any question of doubt as to procedure address the Ento- mologist, State Board of Horticulture Au-

'Very few things have impressed me recently" said Miss Lavinia Tompkins as she settled herself for nice half hours conversation on her favorite topic, "as the speech that Miss Gill, president of the International Alumnae association made some time ago, at Radcliffe college. it's easily the gem of all college speeches I have ever read. The advice Miss Gill gave to women should be emblazoned in electric lights before every girls school and college in the country

 "She doesn't put it in so many words" replied Miss Lavinia,'' but it is in a trea- tise on the dignity of labor. She might have said the development of labor, for that is what it really is, and by the way I have a pet gymnasium scheme which I am going 10 tell you about some time."

STRICT RULES FOR
 THE BOIL WEEWL 
Quarantine Regulations Now Effect Alabama
FROM NEUTRAL ZONE
It Is Unlawful to Ship Seed Out of a Centrain Territory and Pen alty Is Attached to Break
 ing the Rules
BY w. E. HINDS
EntomoIogist Alabama State Board 9


 Horticulture
 At a meeting of the Alabama State board of horticulture, which was held in Montgomery on April 4, several important changes were made in the boil weevil quarantine regulations. In addition to the state horticulturist who has charge of the nursery inspection work, the board appointed the entomologist of the experi- ment station to act as entomologist to the state board, and charged him with the ordinary enforcement of the rules and regulations relating to the Mexican cot ton boil weevil.
 On account of the fact that the boil weevil entered the southwestern corner of Alabama last fall, several changes were necessary in adapting the Alabama regulations to the changed conditions. The quarantine as now established applies to all weevl infested territory, whether within or without the state The area of infection is determined each fall by the state and national entomologists, who carefully investigate the spread of the weevil and cooperate in outlining the area covered. To guard against the pos sibility of weevils being disseminated just outside of the infested area through the mixture of seed at ginneries, a zone 20 miles in width Is established just out side of the line of infestation to form a sort of neutral zone' from which ship ments may be made more freely than from points within the line of infestation, but not to points more than 40 miles out side of the line of infestation.
 The following articles are prohibited by the regulations from shipment from any point within 20 miles of the weevll-infested territory into uninfested sections of Ala bama, and by most or adjacent states Cotton seed, seed cotton, hulls, seed cotton and cotton seed sacks which have been used, cotton pickers' sacks, corn in the shuck and Spanish moss baled or un- baled, except that during the months of July, August and September corn shucks or Spanish moss may be used as packing or shipped otherwise. This exception is made because of the fact that during those three months practically no weevils would be found in winter quarters in such materials, while they would be liable to occur there during any other month in the year. Household goods may not be moved from infected to uninfected territory without being accompanied by an affidavit stating that they contain or include none of the prohibited articles either as pack ing or otherwise. Special provision is made for the shipment of cotton lint, loose, baled, flat or compressed during June, July and August into the unnfest- ed portion of Alabama or as interstate shipments at all times
 It is unlawful for anyone except the en-

The Recipe That Every Woman Wants

When you serve Van Camps Spa- ghetti, you will find that every woman guest wants to know the recipe. Most women who buy it want to know 1t, too. And many ask us to send it. But the recipe is secret-you'll see why. It took our chefs two years to work it out.
 The result has been the most popular dish that ever went out from our kitchens.
 You will see why we cannot let anyone else make spaghetti like Van Camps. But we are charging you less to cook it for you than you would spend to make it. And you get it already cooked.
 There are IT ingredients used in this recipe, each the finest of its kind. The main ones are these:
 Durum wheat spaghetti.
 Herkimer County full cream cheese. Best creamery butter.
 The same superlative tomato sauce VIC
 use in Van Camps Pork & Beans. There is a havor-a blend-to this spaghetti such as never have found in another.
 Not even the chefs of Italy serve any. thing nearly SO good.
 Please find it out and enjoy it while the dish is new. Surprise your suests before they know who makes it. Tell your grocer to send small supply. Company E'';ss;r'd ;ssi Indianapolis, Ind.

ContInncd from pngc Onc.

those opposed to 1t TO postpone the
question uAtil the new congress
comes in On March 4. The result OF
the success of such a movement will
be the calling of an extra session OF
congress TO meet about March 10.
One of the most suggestive moves
was made when Senator Cummins
secured the passage of a resolution
calling on the president to send tc
the senate certain information and
recommendations of the tarif board
relating to the various commodities
embraced in the scheme ot Canadian
reciprocity In addition to informa'
ton upon those commodities, the
Cummins resolution also asked for
any information or tables In the pos
session OF the tariff board relating to
wool end wooden manufactures, cot
ton and cotton manufactures. leather
boots and shoes, farm implements,
pig iron iron ore and the manufac-
lures of iron and steel and a variety
OF other articles. Questioned by Sen
ator Smoot as to his purpose in call
ing for this information, Senator
Cummins frankly admitted that 1t
was desired as the basis for certain
amendments he proposed to offer TO
the Canadian reciprocity bill.

GIRLS IN DANGER
There Is Disease That Attacks
Them in Their Teens.
Every Mother Should Be Able to
Recognize 1t and Apply the
Remedy.

One of the most common and danger
ous diseases from which growing girls
suffer is anRmia or lack of blood.
IL is common because the blood 40
often becomes impoverished during de-
velopment, when girls are too frequently
allowed to overstudy, ovcrwork and
suffer from lack of exercise. IL is dam
gerous because of the stealthiness of its
approach, often being well developed
before its presence is recognized, and
because OF its tendency to growso stead-
lily worse, if not promptly checked, that
it may run into consumption.
Mrs. G. +. Redman, OF No. 1872
Water street, Newburyport, Mass,
who was cured of this disease, says:
"When | was in my teens, | caught
a severe cold. IL settled all over me
and that was the starting point of my
illness. My health began to fail very
fast. My mother took me to number
of doctors but they did me no good at
all Everyone thought that / was go-
ing into consumption. Each week |
became worse until | was so completely
run down that | had to give up my
work. My blood was turning to water
and / was pale and thin. My ears
and my stomach could not stand any
food, even a glass of milk would upset
it. An aunt, who came 10 visit us,
took me home with her, thinking the
change would do me good. ! did not
improve in health and was often con-
fined TO my bed, at one time for six
weeks.
zone day n neighbor advised my
aunt to give me DR.. Williams Pink Pills
as she knew that they were good for the
blood The pills helped me at ceand
in months time | was back home Mt
work. Everyone looked ut me in
amazement to see such u change. My
mother has often told me that she be-
lieves that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
saved my life. Since then | have taken
the pills in the spring whenever ! have
felt run down. Dr. Williams Pink
Pills have done wonders for me and
feel that it is my duty TO give this state
ment"
