How to Fool the Cabbage Worm.

For several years have raised ABB
bages and found ii advantageous, att
err setting out the plant to drop a little
salt on the heart OF the cabbage. says
a writer in Fruit Grower. When the
salt is dissolved by rain or some other
agent 1t should be renewed and the
process continued until all danger from
cabbage worms is past. A cabbage
treated in this way will grow much
larger. and when the bead is cut open
it will not be found honeycombed with
wormholes.

APPETITES OF BIRDS.
In Proportion to Weight Eat More
Than Any other Living Thing.

Than Any Other Living Thing.
Birds in proportion to their weight
probably eat more than any other liv-
ing thing. 1t is n mystery to natural
lists how the ringdove flies after its &C
customed meal. One dove vas found
with 600 peas in its crop. another In
captivity was known to eat $50 beech
nuts at a time, and a third devoured
sixty acorns. says Harper's Weekly.
The robin often eats two and a half
times its weight in twenty-four hours,
while a barnyard hen with chicks has
been observed to resume eating 475
times in the course of a day. The diet
of a certain species of hawk composes
about 1000 mice in the course OF a
month besides other food. In the
mouth of a young heron were found
three trout. each weighing three-quar-
tiers of a pound. Another was found
with seven small trout in its mouth,
a mouse and a thrush. evidently on Its
way to its nest. The growing bird
seems to have an appetite equal to that
of the adult.

IS a true story related 10

said when he reached her.

Those who have not time 10 weigh

find that by weighing three days in

adjournment of the extra ses-

The president is figuring on the ad-

being more optimistic than veteran
congressman, who believe that they
will be obliged to stay until well into
September.
From present indications 1t Is likely
that President Wilson will remain In

few visits to Cornish, y. H., where
Mrs. Wilson and her daughters will go

The president, IL was said. hesitated
some time before deciding to go so far
AWAY from Washington. His inclina-
ton was to rent a cottage ut Sea Girt,
n. j.. where he spent most OF last
summer In abandoning this plan,
however, he was Influenced, 1t was
said, by the consideration that his
presence might tend to detract from
the dignity of Governor Fielder, who.
following the custom of other state
executives, will spend a part of the

dent felt that he would be overrun

BIG CAVE IN UTAH

With what appear to be prehistoric
hieroglyphics carved on its walls, a
mammoth cave was discovered near
Ogden, Utah, by Thomas Whitaker, a
rancher, who led a party of University
of Utah professors on a tour of inves-

The cave is situated in the noun

white men, as the surrounding coun-

Der of the series is 10 by $50 yards in

was fought years ago between two
tribes near the point, the vanquished
having persisted in a cave.

Every Child Should
Be Given This Tonic

When children have no appetite; (;
when they are continually peevish and
irritable; when they are restless in
their sleep. it is almost certain in
dication that their digestive organs
are troubled with worms or other par
asites. This is very common all
ment and easily remedied. Physi-
clans will tell you that nearly every
child is so troubled at some time and
in fact, many adults suffer in the
same way. Among adults this trouble
is invariably referred to as indiges-
tion, when in reality it is due to a
small parasite which infests the in
testinal tract.
For children, Jaynes Tonic Vermi-
fuge is unsurpassed, as 1t Is not only
destructive to these parasites, but
completely emoves the nests in
which their young are deposited. Sell
dom does 1t purge. and the improve
ment in the health Of the child will
be the first and best indication of the
beneficial results of the medicine. Not
only will the Vermifuge destroy all
the parasites, but its wonderful tonic
effects will restore the digestion
which has been impaired.
For children, the addition OF lit
tie sugar will make 1t so palatable
that they will take it readily. Mil
lions OF parents have praised 1t for
more than eighty years Insist on
Jayne's; accept no other. Sold by
druggists everywhere. DR.. ID. Jayne
