That's tonight. l got a date
every other night until tomorrow,
Honest, I'm awful glad to see you!'
William, the dusky deity of the Ell

Charles Nelson stepped out to the
door of the room and stood there
looking coldly at Dick Leroy.
Hello! You took your time. This
Is an old friend of minI. Mr.. Leroy

How are your" said Nelson with
unwavering ,ldness.
Dick crossed over to Nelson with
assured friendliness. His hardy,
perennial smile w S looming in full
force, and his hand was extended
with all the good-fellow spirit in his
power.

Charles Nelson turned coldly away.
He wondered to what extent he must
know Kitty's-friends.

corning youag woman.
"Yes?" said Dick, blandly.
There were a lot of big buildings

Suppose you go and look at one Of

Nelson Hears All.
The hardy perennial had been
bit nipped by the frost But with
fine air Of being at home in chilly
reception halls or among tall build
ings, Dick made his exit.

see you later, Kitty; be good"
Nelson drew the curtains and stood
looking sternly at Kitty.
Kitty wondered a bit uneasily if
she had Numbered in letting Dick
penetrate the Alpine Apartments. She
sat on the little just made for-two
sofa and brushed her skirts aside
with an invitation her eyes Sec
onded.
picks all right I used to work
with him. You don't mind my asking
him in here?"
Nelson sank beside her-not affec-
tionately-almost in abstraction.
How did you know that was
here?" he asked, with a sternness
that did not seem entirely due to his
talk with Dick.
It got it out of your man Johnson
at the office. l didn't make any fuss

like a pouty child's.

tone OF finality.
"I had too much-and no money.
Don't be mad with me, dear" She put
her hand gently on his arm Its not

added in tone that would have in
spired the maker of the proverb,

Nelson folded his arms with grim
force.

She spoke earnestly, putting her
hand on his with a little gesture Of
real affection as she spoke.
And now we won't have to keep
under cover"
Nelson dropped his arms to'his side
with a thud of amazement,
'T don't understand you"
Again Kitty tried the lure Of her
little hand on his. Her palm was
soft, magnetic, full Of the electricity
Of her youth and her emotion.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR

To allay itching and irritation Of the

beauty Of the hair. the following spe.
cial treatment Is most effective, agree

comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held v the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being. to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. It Is well to place q light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often an agreeable, but
once or twice a month 10 generally

BILLION BACTERIA IN A WEEK

themselves to the roots of the pea or
other leguminous crop and start to

as It is called. It takes only about
twenty minutes to complete the
growth of one of these entities, but
they do not die. They simply divide
themselves into two, each starting a
new nodule or adding to the one al
ready begun, and dividing again in

peculiar and wonderfully interesting
as well as profitable.
The air, as you know, is four-fifths
nitrogen. Nitrogen Is the most ex.
pensive fertilizer that you buy and 1t
is positively essential to plant life.
Now, these little entities suck air into
the earth and aerate the soil. 1t is
just as necessary for a plant to have
air as 1t Is for an animal to breathe
It. They therefore do the splendid
service of bringing the air into the
soil. and in bringing 1t in they digest
the nitrogen that is in the air and con-
vert 1t into mineral nitrates that are
soluble In water and Immediately
available for plant food. 1t is esti-
mated that under favorable conditions
where an acre of land Is well inoculat-
ed the bacteria will bring $40 worth OF
nitrogen to the acre within the year;
that is. 1t would cost $40 and more
to buy and put upon the land the nitro
gen that these little entities have
drawn from the atmosphere into the
soil.

The orchardist has at his command
a variety of materials suited to the
different insects and diseases which
he has to combat. 1t is essential for
results In spraying that the material
used be selected with intelligence and
with a definite foreknowledge Of the
pest to be controlled. Certain classes
OF spray materials are useful for the
fungous diseases and certain others
for the insect pests. Some diseases.
such as peach yellows, and some In
sects, such as borers. cannot be
reached by sprays. With other IN.
sects and diseases, such as ~curculio.
1re blight and black knot, spraying,
though helpful, is not sufficient, and
must be supplemented by certain or
chard practices. such as Earring, thin.
ming the fruit, thorough and syste.
matte pruning, etc., such practices
being based accurately upon a fairly
comprehensive knowledge OF the pest
In question.
As a matter Of fact, however, the
practical operations of spraying are
reduced to a relatively simple basis.
We have the lime-sulphur washes and
oil sprays for the scales. We have
the Bordeaux mixture for fungi and
arsenate Of lead for chewing insects.
The Bordeaux and arsenate combine
to form n double-purpose spray
which will accomplish most Of our
summer spraying.
Arsenate of lead is undoubtedly the
best form Of arsenic for spraying pur.
poses. 1t does not have the tendency
to burn foliage, common to other
arsenicals. For most purposes II
should be used at the rate of two OF
three pounds for each fifty gallons OF
spray.
Arsenate Of lead usually comes In
the form Of a white paste. This must
be worked up with water slowly till
thin enough to dilute easily, when II
may be mixed with water or Bordeaux
for spraying.
