BACK TAXES PAID AS
A MORAL OBLIGATION
Heirs OF Rich Boston Man Make
Good With City Treasury.

Boston, March 25. Purely as
a moral obligation and not on ac-
count of any legal liability, back
taxes on the estate of the late
Quincy A. Shaw, amounting to
S492, 600, on property overlooked
by the assessors in 1908 and 1903
have been paid into the city
treasury, according to a state
ment issued by the finance COM
mittee. The committee finds
that the assessors were at fault
in not eXhausting all means of
obtaining information regarding
this taxable property, and that
the city was unable to enforce
collection in full.
The benefciaries under the will
of Mr.. Shaw were asked to pay
the amount as a moral obligation
and they have not only done SC
in the case of the city of Boston,
but have also paid to the city of
Beverly, where Mr.. Shaw had a
summer residence, $40, 600 in ad-
ditional taxes, Shaw was Boston S
heaviest individual taxpayer.

China ASKS POWERS

Washington, March 29.-Despatches
received here from Chinese official cir
Giles declare that China will avoid
trouble with Russia by yielding on all
the specific demands, subject to pro-
viso that the whole matter shall oe
referred by her to the great powers
for settlement in an arbitration man
ner, though not strictly by arbitra-

Acting in this wise prevents further
trouble and nullifies the effect of the
ultimatum which Russia delivered a
few days ago.
The affair will remain officially UNI
concluded until disposition has been
made by the powers which China will
call on for counsel.

Russian Envoy Informed China VIII

Pekin, China, March 29-Cnlna is
not prepared to antagonize Russia
completely, and as a result of pro-

eign Bureau has assured the Russian
minister that China will ecquiesce I'M
reservedly in the demand of the Rus
sian ultimatum concerning the treaty
of 1881. Russia had insisted upon
an answer before Tuesday
1t is generally considered that there
was no alternative course in view If
Chinas utter unpreparedness for war.
Intense interest is being manifested
lin Japan's attitude She is obviously
holding entirely aloof, although MOI e

While the Issues between China and
Russia have been almost obliterated
by the recent series of demands, and
theoretically, there is not sufficient
cause for occupation, Russia appar-
entity fears that she could obtain on
ly paper promises, which the Chinese
would not observe unless inundated.
Russians here point out that they have
less now in the way of concessions
from China than when the treaty was
signed.
In some parts of the legation quarter
Russia is ridiculed for not following
at the outset the example set recently
by Great Britain in occupying terri
tory and awaiting Chinese readiness
to discuss the contested points Bu'

SPRAYING PREVENTS DISEASE
AND DESTROYS INSECTS
Established Intelligent Spray Always
Pays-Formu1a Given That Is Accepted
IS Safe Reliable.

Two classes of enemies attack fruit
trees and plants. VIZ: insects and fun
gous diseases. The application of sub
stances. usually liquid, to the tree OF
plant for the purpose of preventing
or destroying these constitutes spray
ing.
We spray to destroy insects and to
prevent fungous diseases. Spraying Is
no longer an experiment. 1t is an
established fact that intelligent and
persistent spraying always pays. The
effects OF spraying are cumulative.
The effects of spraying last year and
this year may result in an increased
yield next year. An instructive bulle-
tin issued by the Wisconsin Horti-
cultural society, has the following to
say regarding spraying: The insects
affecting fruit may be divided for con-
venience into two classes, which are
distinguished by their mode of feed
ing. viz: eating OF chewing insects
and sucking insects.
Eating insects consume the affected
tissues, commonly the leaves, and
thereby hinder the functions of the
plant. The common example is the
potato bug" OF beetle. Insects of
this class are destroyed by poisoning
their food. Sucking insects do not
consume the external tissues of the
plant, but feed only ON the sap. In
order to accomplish this the insect
thrusts its proboscis through the ex-
ternal coverings and sucks the juices
In the same way as a mosquito sucks
blood. AS these insects do not con-
sumo the tissue OF the leaf or branch,
poisons are of no avail. We must
therefore attack the insects. This is
done by covering them with come sub
stance which will penetrate their
bodies, or with substance which closes
their breathing pores. To repeat:
U Biting or chewing insects are
destroyed by placing poison on the
parts on which the insects feed.
GU Sucking insects are destroyed
only by attacking the insects and for
this class poisons are Of no avail.
Apple scab, brown rot of plums and
peaches, potato rot. blight, rust and
other destructive plant diseases are
commonly ascribed to weather con
ditions. Indirectly this is often true,
but neither rain nor drought nor any
other atmospheric condition Is ever
directly the cause of plant diseases.
Rainy weather does not directly
cause plum rot, but provides condi-
lions favorable to the development of
the fungus, and probably unfavorable
conditions for the development of the
plum and it's ability to resist the in
vasion of the disease.
Fungi (plant diseases) are propa-
gated by spores, minute bodies which

Bordeaux mixture. In fact, in all
orchard spraying operations 1t has
come to be common practice TO add
either Paris green or arsenate of lead
TO Bordeaux at every application. BY
this means biting insects and fungi
are controlled at single operation.
No other fact is more important than
this in spraying.
Arsenate of lead is poisor for
biting insects and is less liable TO in
jure foliage than Paris green. It re-
mains longer in suspension. 1t ad-
heres better to. foliage. 1t may be
used for any purpose for which Paris
green is employed in liquid sprays
The formula is: Arsenate of lead, 2
70 pounds water so gallons.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
II this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic Is both a
preventative and cure for sore
throat because 1t possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just little in a glass
pf water, used as a gargle, will quick
iy relieve all soreness and strengthen
The mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
