TOnsiline The throat is one Of
Cures Of the body. It is also
GO,.o 'TlV,.O,4 one of the most inn
@OOAS IA OeAI portant, and should
be given the best possible care.
The throat is the gateway to the body.
The air we breathe, the food we eat, the
liquids we drink, all pass through it. 1t is
very easily affected by cold, strain, ex-
posure, etc, and Sore Throat is therefore
one Of cur most common ailments.
Strangely enough, it is also one Of the
most neglected.
Sore Throat is a very serious matter,
for the whole system is in danger in
consequence Of it.
Every Sore Throat patient is a candidate
for Tonsilitis, Quinsy, Diphtheria and
other serious or fatal diseases, all of which
can be prevented by the timely cure of the
Sore Throat by the use of TONSILINE.
If taken in time a dose or two will do it.
T0NSILENE is made to cure throat dis
eases and nothing else. 1t is the one
remedy for this purpose sold largely in the
United States. Every user endorses 1t;
every physician, knowing its virtues,
it.
The one most important thing to RsP
remember about TONSILINE is the eSA
fact that it really does cure Sore
Throat. ia

''I had hemorrhages and at times
could not get any medicine to stop them.
Igot in such a weak condition that would
have died if 1 had not got relief soon.
"Several women who had taken your
Compound, told me to try it and 1 did

WILMINGTON CONFERENCE
ADJOURNED ON TUESDAY
Pay-as.you-go Plan Adopted. Rev w.
R. Mowbray for Milford. H. 7. Quigg
for Ridgley, Md.


dained John w. Sutton and Leonard
White as elders; and ]. c. B Hopkins,
Melvin E. Wheatley, Thomas J. Sard,
Harry c. Shipley, William NJ. McCann
and Harry +. Reed as deacons. The
Bishop preached a short sermon on min
isterial duties District uperintendents
E. i. Hoffecker, r. X. Stephenson, Rob
ert Watt and c. P. Jones assisted in the
service.
ENTERTAINMENT PLAN.
The conference plunged into another
lively debate this morning over the
pay-as-you-go plan for conference enter
tainment proposed by District Superin-
tendent Z. L. Hoffecker 1t finally was
adopted to be effective only if conference
fails to receive an invitation under the
old plan of open handed hospitality for
which the peninsula has been famous
even though there has been a reluctance
in recent years to invite the ministers.
The Hoffecker plan creates a bureau of
five ministers and four laymen divided
among the districts to make a pro-rata
assessment upon the different churches
to defray the expenses of entertaining
the ministers and official visitors. This
is to be done only in the contingency of
conference not receiving an invitation.
DIR Hoffecker explained the plan in detail.
District Superintendent Hoffecker eX-
planned that the plan he proposed was
for Conference to entertain itself provided
no invitation was received.
GAVEL FOR BISHOP.
The Rev. H. T. Quigg presented to
Bishop Wilson a small gavel, made of
valuable wood from South America. The
gavel was presented to Bishop John P.
Newman and was used by him in the Cen
eral Conference of 1892. In 1898 Mrs.
Newman presented the gavel used by her
late husband to Mrs. William NJ. Field,
and she, through Mr.. Ouigg, presented
it to the Bishop today The Bishop ex-
pressed his thanks to Mrs. Field for her
gift, and to Mr.. Quigg for his kindly
words
CONFERENCE ACADEMY.
The Rev. c. w. Prettyman read the
report of the trustees of the Wilmington
Conference Academy at Dover, and the
Rev Henry G. Budd, principal of the
academy. in an address elaborated on the
work there. About eighty ministers of
the Conference, he said, had attended the
college. He said $4,000 was needed the
y
nancial support of the laymen. You lay
men must pay the bills or we must throw
up our hands,

country than the Academy at Dover"

twenty-five years president of Dickinson |
College. 1T would be a calamity for it

Bishop Wilson addressed some words |
in support of the Acadamy. Il cannot |
see how any minister or layman can go |
away without the profound conviction |
that upon every Methodist rests the re-
sponsibility of helping carry the burden

KILLING OUT WILD MUSTARD
;Scarcely Cultivated Field in North
Dakota That Is Not Infested
With Noxious Plant,

(By L. r. wALDRON, Superintendent
Dickinson Substation.)
Yellow or wild mustard, it may be
said with regret, needs no description
for North Dakotans. There is scarce
ly cultivated field in the state that
has not made it's acquaintance at
some time or another. In too many
fields 1t has sQuatted, evidently for

If field is not devoted entirely to
the mustard, it should be pulled, not
one year, but every year When the
mustard is too thick to raise a crop,
cut the mustard when in full bloom.
rake and remove from the field. Sum-
mer fallow clean that season. The
next year grow millet and oats; cut
green. Try a crop Of corn the next
year keeping it clean. Put the corn
stubble to wheat without blowing.
Each year pull all mustard that has
any chance to 60 to seed When a
fresh batch of mustard seed is plowed
up the ground should be put to corn
or to millet rather than wheat or flax.
II your mustard infested area is too
large to handle at one time, seed q
portion of it to bronze grass.-the
mustard seed will wait for you.

CROP IS PROFITABLE
;,WIndbreak Assures Plenty Of
Strawberries.
Ptant Requires We'll Drained, But Moist,
Soil and Should Be Set Early In
sprin-Give Plenty Of Room
! for Cultivation.

(By PROF. c. b. WALDRON, North D.
kota Agricultural College)
! Since our w1ndbreaks have become
established we have not experienced
much difficulty in producing a good
crop of strawberries each year. Last
season there was no rain to speak of
till after the fruit was ripe and yet
the yield was very good
! The strawberry requires we'll
drained but moist soil. Avoid land
that is very weedy, especially that
containing fox tail and quack grass.
Set the plants in early spring, plant
ing them firmly with the roots spread
out and extending straight down and
the crown just at the surface OF the
ground. Give them plenty Of room to
make cultivation easy and to allow
each plant good share Of moisture.
I'VE set our plants two by four feet
apart. If the soil is rather dry or
weedy keep all of the runners cut off
for the first season and make the cul-
tivation very thorough.
If the soil conditions are good about
three runners may be allowed for
each plant, training them along the
row so they will not interfere with
cultivation. In the fall after the
ground begins freezing cover with
three inches of straw that is free from
seeds of any kind. Take it from the
side Of the straw pile opposite from
where the machine stood. In the

Tho Prize Sheep.

Mr.. Finley of Oneida, ILL.,, the win
ner of the highest honor in the sheep
exhibit in the International, held them
until they tipped the scales at 1852
pounds, having bought them when they
averaged 1872 pounds, having paid
1926 as feeders. He says: while in
my possession the stock was on blue
grass, clover and timothy pastures, and
was fed ration of corn and oil meal
/ used ear corn at first, but later sub
stituted the shelled grain and found
results so much better that I'll taboo
ear corn In my sheep feeding opera
tons in the future. The stock con-
sumed one-third more grain at the first
feed after the shelled corn had been
substituted than they had before. For
the past two and one-hah months the
stock was on full feed"

Oreqon Hens.

The Oregon Agricultural college
claims to have the champion egg lay
ers of the United States in two hens
which produced 259 eggs apiece In IL
months. One Of these hens is Yly-
mouth Rock, color not stated: the 9TH
er is cross-bred Plymouth Rock and
Leghorn, but which breed represents
the paternal and which the maternal
side is not stated. In the same pen
with the 259-egg Plymouth Rock was
another hen Of the same breed which
laid only six eggs during the year. If
these figures are correct and there has
been no mistake in the records, Ore
gon is entitled to the BOBBY prize as

tom, 1t may be burned off, II done at
tho right time enough will remain to
spread about the plants as a mulch to
retain the moisture and to keep the
berries clean. After the first crop has
been harvested the bed must be put in
shape for the following years crop.
This Is done by thorough cultivation
for the remainder of the season, and
the removal Of runners as they ap-
pear
1t must be remembered that the fruit
for any given season Is all provided
for and made ready the previous sea-
son. Unless the plants are kept
thrifty and vigorous they will not find
it possible to prepare for much of a
fruit crop. In July and August the
soil will become hard and baked unless
constantly stirred. It is Just at this
time, however, that the plants should
be doing their best work for the fu-
ture and must not be neglected. If
the bed is we'll titled after the first
crop, removing most of the old plants
/ and encouraging the young ones, the
second crop will be as large as the
first one. BY continuing this same
method we have grown three good
crops in succession on the same land
and last season one old bed was put
into shape to see what the fourth crop
will amount to. 1t is generally ad
v1sed, however, to grow but tv'@ crops
and then pillow up the bed.
Out Of the thirty-four varieties in he
trial bed last season the following
gave the highest yields, coming in or

Old Time Remedy
Darkens the Hair

From time immemorial, sage and
sulphur have been used for the hair
and scalp. Als6st everyone knows of
the value of such a combination for
daraening the hair, for curing dand-
ruff and falling hair. and for making
the hair grow.
In olden times the only way to get
a hair tonic of this sort was to brew
it in the home fireplace. a method
which was troublesome and not al
ways satisfactory. Nowadays almost
every up-to-date druggist can supply
his patrons with a readyto- use prod
uct. skillfuliy compounded in perfect
ly equipped laboratories. The Wyeth
Chemical Company of New York put
up an ideal remedy of this sort, called
wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy, and authorize druggists to sell 1t
under guarantee that the money viii
be refunded if it fails to do exactly as
represented.
II you have dandruff, or If your hair
ia turning gray or coming out don't
delay, but get bottle of this remedy
to-day, and see what a few days
treatment will do for you.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.
