any garment you could possibly buy
Drink lots of water. II you are
afraid of taking on too much weight

Ia the time when weight Is added.
When working do not eat heavy
lunch. Have a good breakfast. be-
cause by the time you get to your
work that Is partly dlgested, but If
you have heavy lunch you are apt
to feel sleepy. The big meal of the
day should come at night
In these cold days dress warmly. IL
Is true that woolens are not beauti-
ful. but they keep your skin u pretty

A Giant Baby.

The worlds astronomers are now
much interested in the planet Jupiter.
This planet Is the largest In our sys-
TEN. but is said by the scientists to be
an infant In swaddling clothes so far
as development is concerned. In vol
ume Jupiter is 1870 times greater than
our own globe, But we are now full
grown and, ns some astronomers de-
clare. on the downhill side of life In
other words, our little earth is In mid
die age and will soon be growing old.
Great Jupiter, the king Of the heavens
as far as our planetary system Is con-
cerned. ia not yet fit for life. From
the latest observations Of Jupiter 1t Ia
supposed to be In the act of building,
of solidifying, One astronomer says:

we are assisting at the creation OF a
world. Under our dazzled eyes new
world is being created in the infinity
and In Jupiter we hail the world Of the

PAIROLMAN
Takes Ills Own Father TO
Jail

Louisville, KY, Feb. Whether to
follow out the hard path of his duty
as an officer of the law, although the
liberty and good name of his father
was at stake, or to follow the dictation
of his nature as son, was a prob
lem which last night confronted Pa
trolman Wilder, of the Third District,
Duty conquered, however, and the
aged father, J. G. Wilder, was taken to
jail, where charge of disorderly con-
duct was registered against him. The
son will have to appear against him
in Police court today.

Gave Good Weiaht.

The very latest trick Of the trade
was taught TO the young butcher by
the marketman who gave him his first
employment. The old dealer pointed to
trays of beef, lamb and pork trim
mlngs beneath the counter. i1-
when customers ask to have, all the
waste that has been cut from their
own meat wrapped mp with their order,
be sure to put In few Of these trim
mings besides" he said. Most always
they want the scraps sent home so they
can weigh the whole business and find
out whether they are getting full
weight or not Enough extra pieces to
tip the scales half an ounce beyond
the supposed weight won't hurt any
body. and will give us good name"
Shortly after that the new clerk
heard one frugal housewife say to an
other, "oh. why don't you trade at
Blank'sf He gives such good meas
ure; often almost an ounce more than
You pay for"

Washington. Other counties infested
to less degree were Auglaize, Colum-

Meigs and Preble.
Since there is certain to be sue
cession of broods in some neighbor-
hoods, 1t would seem unwise for or
chardists residing in such localities to
postpone planting in the hope of there
by escaping damage. In other dis
tricts 1t may be possible to avoid all
risk by delaying planting for two or
three years. The writer would not de-
lay planting In any case. Young trees
that are subject to injury may have
the trunks and larger limbs wrapped
with paper during the egg-laying per-
iod to prevent damage, and the unpro-
tected upper limbs and twigs should
be sprayed with Bordeaux mixture OF
lime-sulphur wash for partial protec-
ton. No pruning should be done the
winter or spring preceding the out
break, since all the wood available is
needed to secure as much distribution
as possible of the eggs The surplus
damaged wood can be cut out and
burned while it contains the unhatch-
ed eggs or this may be done the fol
lowing winter.

Since numerous brood of the Per-
iodical Cicada, commonly called the
"Seventeen-year Locust" is due over
large part of Ohio in 1914, or two
years from the coming summer, many
prospective orchard planters will wish
to have notice at this time of the ex.
pected insects. The damage which
these insects inflict upon young orchard
trees and upon nursery stock, when
depositing their eggs, Is often excess
i've, and for this reason some will pre-
fer trying to dodge the scourge by not
planting until after the cicada years
have passed. However, since there
will be another brood of considerable
magnitude in eastern Ohio In 1917, an
other small and localized brood in
1918 and yet another and important
brood over large part of state in
1919 the planter can best decide his
course by noting the counties in which
the respective broods are due to ap-
pear. BY years and counties the broods
are distributed as shown in the follow
ing enumeration, according to in
formation collected over long per-
iod of years by the Experiment Sta
tion and the u. s. Department of Agri-
