"How Mile Became an Actress"
"An Up-to Date Squaw,"
THE Escaped Lunatic,"
"Fcr the Queen"
african Birds and Their Enemies"
We have often been asked why We
have so many tragedies, and why we
are always killing somebody. This
is undoubtedly one of the finest pro
grams that we have ever shown, and
has been selected with an eye TO
please every one, so We only ordered
pictures that would bring joy to your
heart, and We guarantee that there
will be nobody killed today unless
some one in our audience should die
of laughter. This is strictly COM
edy program, so if you are looking
for some deep, dark and heavy drama
in which the villain does his worst
then you want to pass up the Pastime
today, for the only time that we are
going to pass will be passed in
laughter.
How Mile Became an Actress
Mile is a clever coincidence. A
cranky manager does not think so,
Just how she proves to him that she
is is simply killing. If your laugh
ometer" is sluggish, this will put ii
in good shape for year. In passing
We will say that Miss Florence Tur-
ner, the beautiful girl of Biograph
fame. takes the leading part in this.
Lost, one Lunatic. This ludi-
crous film is good antidote for dull
care and was produced with that
thought in mind. You just cannot af
ford to miss this.
african Birds and Their Enemies
This is one of Pathe Freres' most
beautiful hand painted productions,
and is the fourth of this wonderful
series that is attracting such world
wide attention. This picture required
several months to take.
''For the Queen. This is just too
delightful for anything. Undoubtedly
the most charming picture ever shown
in which all the actors are children.
"An Up-to-Date Squaw."-If such
thing were possible we have saved
our greatest comedy for the last.
This is guaranteed by Pathe to eclipse
anything that they have ever done be.

which are known to be caused by
parasitic organisms.
6. The disease is found on all va
rieties Of citrus fruits. 1t affects trees
growing under opposite conditions,
such as trees that are starved, and
trees that are well-fed; trees growing
on acid soils, and trees on alkaline
soils; trees growing on hammock
soil, and trees on high pine land.
7. Any condition or treatment that
tends to reduce the vitality of the tree
makes it more susceptible to the dis
ease. Trees that are affected with
other diseases, such as gummosis,
blight, yellow spotting, and scaly bark
are particularly susceptible. Trees
that have been injured by cold are
easily infected. Data at hand show
the disease to be more prevalent north
of the frost line; but it is not all con-
| fined to this region. Attempts have
| been made to cure the disease by the
application of fertilizers. These were
| doubtless of benefit by making the tree
less susceptible to infection.
8. In some cases the disease is as
ISOLATED with dead wood in the tree.
1t is probable that the dead wood is a
source of infection.
Symptoms Of MeIanose.
The markings that melanose makes
upon the fruit, stems and leaves are
essentially the same. They consist CT
groups of gum-filled cells that have
been cut off and raised from the
healthy tissue Of the plant by corky
tissue.
The markings start as sunken points
in the young sueculent tissue. and
these grow larger and more evident as
the tissue grows older. They become
elevated and wax-like and reddish
brown in color in their mature condi
ton. They. somewhat resemble drops
OF melted sugar burned to a reddish
brown color.
The markings are in most cases
scattered like pepper over the affect
ed surface. Often patches of them
will interlace, surrounding little fields
of green. They are sometimes ar
ranged in circles or parts of circles.
This is a characteristic symptom.
In most cases, the damage done to
the leaves and stems is negligible. But
when the fruit Is marked by the dis
ease it's market valuable is reduced.
and it may be total loss.

Treatment of MelanOse.
BY B. F. Floyd.

+. Where the citrus crop was consid-
erably injured by melanose during the
summers Of the last two years. 1t is
advisable to spray during the spring
OF 1911. Spraying with either Bor-
deaux mixture or ammoniacal solution
OF copper carbonate will prevent this
injury. Two sprayings should be
made; the first about two weeks after
the flowers have fallen and the sec
ond, four weeks later. A nozzle of As
degrees angle should be used for ap-
plying the spray. With such a nozzle
the solution can be directed downward,
thereby preventing, more or less, the
wetting of the under surfaces of the
leaves where the friendly fungi thrive
on the scales and whitefiy.
Wherever it is found necessary to
spray for the prevention of melanose,
the grove should be carefully inspect
ed at short intervals. If scale insects
show any tendency to become abund-
ant, they should be kept in check by
the use of some good insecticide until
the friendly fungi have developed
again.
Cause OF Melanose.
From our most recent Investigations
1t Is concluded that melanose is not a
disease which Is due to malnutrition;
but that it. is caused by some unknown
organism. Some of the reasons for this
conclusion are as follows:
1. The markings that the disease
makes upon the fruit, stems and
leaves are superficial They extend to
only a small distance beneath the skin,
and are separated from the healthy
tissue by layers Of cork tissue.
2. The markings are small and in
dividual. They have no connection
with each other, excepting where they
occur SO close together as to unite in
patches
8. The disease Injuries the tree by
affecting the functioning of the outer
tissues. such as the breathing pores,
and the cells containing the green Of
the plant.
4. Only young succulent tissue be-
comes infected. The place Of infection
Is a mere point that increases in size
with the growth Of the affected part.
5. The distribution of the disease
throughout the tree and through the
grove is much like that Of diseases

PENSACOLA FLORIDA MORNING. FEBRUARY a.
The Growth of
Advertising.

The business man who now pro-
claims that advertising doesn't pay"
is back number.
His tribe has steadily decreased until
there are but few specimens left.
The wide-awake, intelligent business
man of today would as soon think Of
getting along without clerk hire or
house rent, as to attempt to do bust
ness without advertising.
People now scan the advertising
pages OF a newspaper as closely a. they
learned to look to the paper to supply
their wants-to find out where to trade.
Old methods have passed away and the
merchant who once proudly boosted
that the public knew he was in busi-
ness and knew where to find him, has
gone with the cobwebs. The modern
business man of today would laugh at
the child-like simplicity of the mnn
who would assert that advertising
didn't pay.
Since Postmaster General Hitchcock
has recommended an increase In the
amount of postage paid by magazines,
the latter have inaugurated publicity
campaign, and are giving their side Of
the question at once through the ad
vertis.ng columns Of daily and weekly
newspapers and are not waiting for
their own monthly editions to be is
sued. They want to reach the people
and they want to do it right now and
for this reason they are spending thou
sands Of dollars in buying advertising
space in daily and weekly papers. II
the magazine publishers, who know all
about advertising, are so thoroughly
convinced Of the value Of newspaper
space. It is difficult to see how any one
can doubt the fact that results come
from judicious advertising.
More than this, even churches are
learning the value of advertising. IN
some of the larger churches Of the
CItlSS, arrangements are U1dO0 WIFI
newspapers for a certain amount OF
publicity.
The other day, in an address before
the Mccormick Theological Society IN
Chicago, Rev. Charles Stelzsl. Of New
York, said:
THE newspaper IL by far the best
advertising medium for the church
Churches must go after new business
The people Of the city are not going Ia
church, and SO the church must go Ia
them. The downtown churches are
losing their hold on the people. Tho
old members are dying or moving
away; new members could be secured
| through judicious advertising. The
| church must set aside an appropriation
for an advertising campaign, and this
| fund must be used for no other pur-
pose."
| Now. Of course, 1t will be q Ions
time until churches generally begin Il
advertise and pay for 1t, because thei,
advertising is given free by generou.

world, in all lines of business, has com,
