HOW MANY OF US

a KY. lady, speaking about food,
says: 81 was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
After I had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sfty Of some change in my diet, and
l discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity of rich cream.
In a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way, and I
began to have a strength that 1 had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and a poise OF mind that
amazed me- 1t was entirely new in
my experience.
my former attacks OF Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing with blind spells OF dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast I have been free from these
troubles, except at times when 1 have

unless I needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when I
finally got TO know where these trou-

The grapecane girdler is an insect
not often mentioned in chronological
literature, probably for the reason that
in the past it seems to have confined
its attacks chiefly to the plant known
as Virginia creeper or five-leafed ivy,
ampelOpsis quinQuefolia, and has
seemed, therefore, of but little eco
ncmic Importance. In this state it ap-
pears now to have developed a prefer
ence for the grape. In several Iocali-
ties have seen grapevines presenting
ragged appearance on account of the
dead tips resulting from the insects
attacks, but I have never been able to
find either the beetle or evidences OF
its work on ampelopsis.
The species cannot now be regarded
as pest of very serious consequence,
except in rare instances. but it has
several times attracted attention as an
enemy Of the grape in this state dur
ing recent years, and heretofore but
Hctle has been known in regard to its
habits.
The distribution of the species
seems to be quite general throughout
the eastern and mid-western sections
of the United States In 1852 Mr.. c.
V. Riley, in his first report on the nox-
ious insects of Missouri, mentioned it
as forming gals on the common creep
er. At about the same time Mr.. Benz
D. Walsh had specimens of the insect
in his collection in Illinois, marked
''Madarus ampelopsis." 1t was not un-
til the year 1876 that a description
Of the beetle was published In that
year DR.. John L. LeConte described it
in his work on the Rhynchophora OF
America, and gave to it the name
which it still bears. lie Conte gives
its geographical distribution as South
ern and western states Since the
description was published the species
has received but infrequent and brief
notice, but has been recorded as oc-
curing in several states from Mis-
souri, 20 Pennsylvania.
3he wound which the beetle makes
in ovipositing causes the tip and
terminal leaves on the young cane to
drop over and die, and shortly after
ward to fall from the vine The egg
is not carried to the ground with the
prunings when they fall, but it re-
mains in the vine, and the Iarva which
develops therefrom feeds in the heart
of the stump from which the leaves
AID tip were removed.
It is interesting to compare the
methods of this insect with those of
other species that girdle twigs or
small branches in order to kill or part
" kill the wood in which their eggs
are laid and their larvae are to feed.
The hickory twig-girdlec," Onci-
deres cingulata, a '1ong-horned" bee
tie, lays its eggs in the branches OF

That One Thing Lacking.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle Of the modern Irish
movement, is fond of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
TT was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget, and they were having a
church wedding. 1t was a grand af-
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractively in
many co1ors. The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle, out into the street, where q
great crowd greeted them with delight
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said, in loud
whisper, Och, Pat, if we could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't it have
been hiYiin'

ERADICATION OF
THE CHRISTOPHER
Ohio Station Gives Formula for
Making Poisoned Bran
Mash for Use In the
Gardens.

The Ohio station advises that for
protecting gardens and limited areas
from the attacks of grasshoppers,
good results are usually obtained
from using a poisoned bran mash, pre-
pared as follows:
Stir together, while dry, two pounds
of paris green and % pounds of bran,
then moisten with water that has been
sweetened with moIasses or dissolved
sugar, making wet bu not sloppy
mash.
For plants set about three feet
sugar, making a wet by not sloppy
each way, use a tablespoonful near
each plant, or the mash may be sown
over the field broadcast One treat
ment should not cost over 81 per acre,
labor not Included. Keep the poultry
away from the poison.

deep groove with its strong jaws so
that the branch above dies and is fire.
Quently broken of by the wind The
''elm twig-girdler," Oberea ulmicola,
beetle of the same family, attacks
elm in a similar manner. The female
cuts a deep groove around a twig so
that it is easily broken on by the
wind. Below the groove she cuts slit
in the bark and deposits an egg and
then moves further down the twig and
girdles it a second time, now merely
cutting through the bark so as to dead
en- the part above. Another species Of
the same genus, known as the black
berry cane-girdler," Oberea bimacu-
lata, cuts a double girdle and lays an
egg between the two, in a similar man
ner, in the young canes of blackberry
and raspberry. Still another long
horned beetle, the 'foak-pruner," Ella
phidion villosum, lays its eggs in the
branches Of oak and other trees but
leaves the girdling to be done by it's
larvae. In this case the Iarva feeds in
the heart of the twig until it is nearly
full grown and then cuts the twig al
most of at the lower end OF its bur
row. Immediately after the cut is
made it retreats into the burrow above
and waits for the wind to blow the
twig to the ground, where it completes
it's transformation within the burrow
The adult of the raspberry cane
maggot," a two-winged fly of the genus
PhoTbia, lays its egg near the tips Of
young raspberry shoots. The Iarva
which matches enters the cane and
after working it's way downward for
several inches it encircles the shoot
several times, with a spiral groove
made just beneath the bark, which
kills the shoot above, and the larva
feeds thereafter on the dead wood.
The "currant stem-girdler," Janus in
tiger, a saw-fy, punctures the bark OF
currant bushes near the ends Of grow
ing tips with its saw-like ovipositor
and lays an egg in the orif1ce. Just
above the egg, it girdles the twig by
making several deep cuts with its owl
positor so that the twig breaks over
The larva which develops from the
egg feeds on the pith of the stump.
There are other species that operate
in a similar manner, but the ones that
have been mentioned will serve to
show that the peculiar habit, in one
form or another, is shared by insects
belonging to widely separated groups
1t is interesting that so many species,
which in most respects do not resem-
BILE each other in the least and which
represent at least three orders, have
adopted some form Of this peculiar
way Of providing for the safety and
comfort Of their progeny.

Sheep In Summer.

Sheep in order to be maintained In
a strong and vigorous condition should
be as well looked after during the
summer as during the winter months.
No flock owner would think of allow
ing his flock to remain out in a heavy
snowstorm in midwinter, but few
sheepmen realize that greater injury
may come from allowing the flock to
become over-exposed to the hot. sun
during the summer. Undue exposure
to excessive heat in summer increases
the activity OF the entire working
system If allowed to be exposed for
weeks at q time a general breakdown
OF the physical constitution takes
place. and, while no disease may mani
fest itself, the future usefulness Of
the animal is greatly impaired.

proved to be will be glad to learn of
its continued popularity.
For this reason the high-neck ruff

New Idea for Dressmakers.

A New York woman has inaugural
ed new departure. She sent word
to a number of dressmakers that she
had so many dresses to make, of such
and such materials, and so many 9Th
ers to be altered, and named the al
teratiOns to be made and asked for
bids. She will probably accept the
lowest bid, and this seems to open up
a new field in dressmaking- 1t will
also develop new variety of shrewd-
ness on the part of successful dress
makers-the ability to figure on bids.
