Toilet Of Nose and Throat.
Great caution must be exercised in
interfering with the natural process
es in the nose Frequent douching
and spraying with antiseptic solutions
is often very irritating and injurious.
In some old standing cases of catarrh
the nasal douche is necessary, but its
use should be directed by physician
The careless use of the douche may
lead to infection of the ear. When a
cleansing spray or douche is neces-
sary, the following should be employ
ed in preference to strong antisep.ic
solutions or advertised catarrh cures:
To pint of warm water aud one
teaspoonful of a powder composed of
equal parts of sodium bicarbonate. So
dunn biborate and sodium chloride.
This may be used warm in an ato-
| mizer when the nose is dry and crus-
ty or clogged with SCOT and dust.
In blowing the nose. especially after
douche or spray has been used. close
one nostril and blow with moderate
force through the other. The usual
metod of partially closing both nostrils
and forcibly blowing often causes in
fictitious matter to be blown into the
ears. After using nasal dOuche ex-
posture to the open air should be avoid
ed for at least half an hour. as the
nose has been deprived Of its protec-
tive mucus and time is necessary for
the mucus to reform. II an oil spray
is used following the douche this pre-,
caution is pot necessary.
When the nostrils are irritated or
inflamed from discharges, and especial
~ if there is any alteration, the Ordi
nary official ointment of the yellow
oxide of mercury is an excellent prep
aration for use. 1t may be diluted with
an equal part Of yaseline. This prep
aration is cheaper and safer than ad
vertised salves or nostrums.

= CONFIDENCE.
We Back Up Our Statements With
Our Personal Reputation
and Money.

We are SO positive that we can re-
lieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail.
We think that it is worse than use-
less to attempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drugs. Cathartics
may do much harm. They may
cause a reaction, irritate and weaken
the bowels, and make constipation
more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness OF
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestines or colon. To expect cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery of the active princ-
pie of our remedy involved the labor
of skillful research chemists. This
remedy produces results such as are
expected from the best of the best
known intestinal tonics, and it is par
ticularly prompt in it's results.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our guarantee. They are ex-
ceedingly pleasant to take and are
ideal for children. They apparently
act directly on the nerves and mus
cles of the bowels, having, it would
seem, a neutral action on other Or
gans or glands. They do not purge
or cause Inconvenience. If they do
not positively cure chronic or habit
uaf constipation and thus relieve the
myriads of associate or dependent
ailments, your money will be refund
ed. Try Rexall Orderlies at our risk

For Early Onions.

Much earlier and finer onions
can be grown if SOwn in large
boxes or a hot bed, amid this
kept moist and loose on top till
the strong young onions are trans
planted to the garden. So many
early onions are delayed, if not
absolutely discouraged and ruin
ed by the surface of the ground
becoming cruSted or hard from
showers, when they are two inche
or so high and weakly. All this
Is avoided by sowing thinly in
ularge boxes or hot beds and re-
setting. This might not do for
large amount of onions, but for
the family, or early ones, it sure
ly pays.

the only Kansas visitation of the
insect have been very active in
sending in reports and asking
their patrons to do likewise, but
not a single Green Bug has been
reported to Professor GLENN.
On March 31st last Professor
SandbOrn, State EntOmOlOgiSt of
Oklahoma, advised us fully re-
garding the situation in OklahO-
ma, and states that the parasite
and other insect enemies are
present, concluding:
"There is no doubt in my mind,
hOwveer, but that the green bug
will be controlled and the out
break will be consequently of
minor Importance in comparison
with the outbreak of 19O7--190S.
1t would seem, therefore, that
there is at present no cause for
serious concern regarding injury
to wheat from this innSect. The
Department of Entomology will,
however, continue its inveStiga-
tons and be ready to act prompt
lY in case a necessity should
arise. . i"r "'w
! The present situation again
verifies the position taken by the
members of the Department of
Entomology in the previous out
break,g viz:
As reported b. Professor
Glenn, the Green Bugs appear to
have been breeding for some time
wherever found, Yet nowhere
were any evidences Of the para
site found. Sanborn states that
the parasite is present in Okla
homa with the Green Bug. Since
Green Bugs are only on southern
border, it seems evident that the
Green Bug has migrated from
Oklahoma into Kansas, but has
not been accompanied by the par
aSite. Were an invasion immi:
nent it is obvious that by trans
porting the parasite from the
south they could establish them
selves on the Green Bugs now
present and be prepared to de-
strOy those subsequently migrat-
ing into Kansas wheat fields.
This Green Bug is one of the
plant-lce and is included in the
same family as the green fly
of the house and greenhouse
pltnas and the woOlly aphis OF
the apple. Its general structure
groups it with the ehinch-bug.
the squash bug, and the scale in
sects. In common with all these
it takes its nOurishment, not by
chewing the plant, as the grass.

plant with a fbeak well adapted
