Pimples and black-heads show that
the waste material is not being car
ried away properly but is being left
to clog the pores. Sometimes this ac-
emulation Of waste material is due to
lack Of cleanliness. The waste ma
terial is left on the skin and clogs the
pores so they cannot perform their
work. Sometimes the fault is due to
poor circulation or to diseases of the
excretory organs. If one organ is in
capable Of performing it's work, the
other organs must of necessity do
more than their share in trying to aid
it. If the kidneys and bowels are not

her privileges? No! Yes! Come to

Entomology the activities are not confined to in
ducing good health in trees but extend to all
sorts Of Investigations and experiments regarding
injurious insects affecting field crops, fruits,
small fruits and truck crops we'll as the for
ests and forest products. This research insttu
ton has devoted much time and money to the
introduction in the United States of beneficial in
sects-that is insects which prey upon those
creatures that harm the trees-and is all the
while carrying on tests and experiments with
insecticides and insecticde machinery. Not the
least important function of this government insti
tuition is the Identification of insects for anybody
who applies for such information. By this means
a farmer or householder discovering an unknown
bug on his trees may ascertain the record Of the

Probably the most extensive and most costly

world is that which has been in progress for some
years past In the state Of Massachusetts. The
object of this prolonged battle Is to exterminate

other kindred species, has threatened to destroy

Her Domestic 7 yrant
BY CARL JENKINS

Some folks wondered at the mar
rage between Stephen Roberts and
Clara Colby, and others admitted
that it might be good thing Some
folks wondered because Stephen was
an old bachelor and set in his ways.
while the young lady was known to be
rather Eighty and firty. Some admit
ted because they thought an old bach
elor was just the husband to make a
frivolous wife settle down.
There was one thing Miss Clara
Dragged OF as girl, and that was that
nobody could manage her. Whatever
she wanted to do she would do. Her
marriage wasn't going to make bit
or difference about that. She said so
TO stephen. His answer is not record
ed, but whatever it was he probably
did some thinking, and perhaps he
made up his mind to pursue a certain
policy
1t was weeks after the wedding be-
fore there was clash. The husband
made suggestion now and then, in
stead OF commanding or nagging.
While they We're only suggestions, the
young wife found herself following
them without opposition. and this
pleasant state Of affairs might have
continued but for an even more frivo-
lcus wife who dropped in one after
noon to say:
CLARA Roberts, do you know that
ali the folks are talking about the way
you've been humbled since your mar
riage?"
What humbled!" was the ex-
clamation
Yes. Everybody notices 1t. You

An Early TaxImeter.

The taximeter cab is not an inven-
ton Of yesterday. Such a vehicle was
known to the Chinese ages before the
Christian era. Now we learn from a
Paris contemporary that the Emperor
Commodus possessed similar car
riage. Commodus, some will remem-
Der, was the worthless son of a cele-
hrated father, the Emperor known as
Marcus Aurelius through his 'fMedita-
tons"
Commodus came to an untimely II
not unmerited end about 1872 A. D..
He posed as Hercules and was the
hero of about seven hundred gladia-
torial contests with defenceless oppo-
nents. His reign lasted only year
and his successor, Pertinax, sold his
belongings at auction, and one of the
lots, We are told. was carriage which

the exceedingly varied activities that orc ap

treasures There are numerous different meth
DDS OF circumventing the caterpillars and other
Objectionable invaders and there are like
wise any number of prescriptions that NAV be
tried out IL the pests have taken possession of
trees ere the alarm is given. Prominent among
these latter remedial measures are the various
forms of tree spraying for which special ap-
paratus is now provided and apropos of which
extensive experiments have been carried on to
determine the most effective formula to be In
uoduced as spray. Another branch of tree sur
gerry deals with the intelligent removal of dead
or diseased limbs of trees and the repair of dam
age done by fire. lightning high winds, ETC. And
finally we come to the true surgery which in the
case of trees as with people, involves the re-
moval of portions Of the vital tissue; the termi-
nation of decay disease: and the substitution
or other substances-in the case of trees con-
crete being favorite medium for closing wounds
and fostering The healing process
Ii might be supposed by many readers that
tree doctoring would be restricted largely to the
country and suburban districts but such is very
far from being the case. Indeed, 1t would seem
as though the residents of our towns and cities
prize their trees more highly and are willing to
do more to preserve them than are the farmer
class-and, perhaps, this is natural considering
that tall, stately trees much rarer III cities
than IN the rural districts At any rate most OF
our large cities employ one or more tree
doctors to look after the trees in their parks and
the shade trees streets and boulevards
whereas it is becoming almost imperative for
man who aspires to the position of head gardener
on any large private estate to have enough
knowledge of ailing or insectinfested trees to
cope with the situation.
The q. S. Department of Agriculture and the
state governments in many of our leading states
now maintain special departments that devote
