WAIsTcoATs MADE OF WOOD
Scientists Discover Method Of Making
Thread Of celIuIose Extracted
From Spruce Wood.

Are you wearing a wooden waist
coat? If not, probably you soon will
be- Clothes made literally from wood
are the latest sartorial venture The
discovery of this new process is large
ly due to the fad that bleached cotton
is known to be composed of very near
ly pure cellulose.
Working on this basis, scientists
have discovered a method of manufac-
turing a thread of cellulose extracted
from spruce wood.
New England cotton spinners are
exceedingly optimistic about the dis
covery, and with material manufac-
tured from this latest process expect
to produce clothing at prices far below
those now charged. The finest prod
uct will, it Is said, be cheaper than
cotton in the bale.
In addition to this cardinal advan.
tage, the new material can be dyed
any color, and-a very important point
the dye will not fade. Lastly, the
material is noninfiammable.

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 or
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 or 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" or 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 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 some sub
stance which will penetrate their
bodies, or with substance which closes
their breathing pores. To repeat:
~ Biting or chewing insects are
destroyed by placing poison on the
parts on which the insects feed.
(2) 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,
Dut ueltueT RAIN uor uIoueul HoT any
other atmospheric condition is ever
directly the cause Of plant diseases.
Rainy weather does not directly
cause plum rot, but provides condi
tions favorable to the development of
the fungus. and probably unfavorable
conditions for the development of the
plum and its ability to resist the In
vasion of the disease.

y gated by spores. minute bodies which

spraying is of no avail. In other
words. spraying for plant diseases
must be wholly for prevention.
The following formula for Bordeaux
mixture is used as preventive of

quoted, but the following is now ac-
cepted as safe and reliable:

French Neck a New STYLE.

Many variations of the sailor collar
are seen on blouses of a semi-tailored
tyre. These are pretty and always dis
tirctly youthful.
The round Dutch neck. the square
Dutch neck and the pointed Dutch
neck are all seen, the newest being
the pointed. but on some of the new
French blouses one sees the rather
trying neckline which runs straight
across the base of the throat and is
cut low on the shoulders.
On any but the prettiest and fullest
of necks this style is failure, but
those who wear 1t will at least have
the satisfaction Of knowing that it is
distinctly the newest.

DELAWARE, Ohio, June 13.-With
the securing today Of details of the
alleged poisoning case In which Mrs
Jessie X. Henkle was arrested yester-
day charged with administering arsen-
ic poisoning to her pretty 21-year-old
step-daughter, Miss Merle Henkle. To-
cal authorities declare the case is a
parallel to the Laura Farnsworth-
Schenk case at Wheeling, w. Va.
Added to this fact,sit was learned
today that Mrs. Henkle was a friend
OF Mrs. Schenk. and during the trial
OF the Schenk case In which Mrs.
Schenk was charged with poisoning
her millionaire husband, read all the
reports. Mrs. Henkle, however as
serts her innocence of the crime.
Miss Henkle, the victim of the
poisoning, Is known as the towns "Col-
lege widow" A month ago she re-
turned from house party at Athens,
Ohio, suffering from a nervous break
down. On June 2. after her stepmothsr
had cared for her at home for some
time, she was taken to Jane Case hos
pital and an hour later three ply
sicians had pumped two drachms Of
arsenic from her stomach. The doc
alone that saved her life.
The detectives assert that the
poison was served in a glass of grape
juice, which Mrs. Henkle gave to the
girl the day before she was taken to
the hospital
j. d. Henkle, father or the victim
and husband of the accused, has taken
no side in the matter. He Is a travel
ing salesman, prominent here.
B. F. Atkinson, wealthy retired mer.
chant, of Caldwell, Ohio, and father Of
Mrs. Henkle, arrived today and put
up the $4,000 bonds necessary for her
release.
