An exchange from a city little
larger than Idaho Springs ha.
the following remedy for killing
dandelions and which it claims is
effective.
"lf all of the dandelions that
have been dug up in this town
during the past two years was
effective in removing them and
destroying them, there would not
be dandelion growing. But
digging them up does not destroy
them They come again. They
come thicker and stronger than
they were before. But there is a
way to destroy them, and when
once treated as we suggest, that
dandelion will never bother you
again. We have tried the method
of using gasoline G and it is effect
i've Others have tried it and found
it the way to kill them. Take a
common small sized oil can and
use it for dropping the gasoline
on the dandelion plant. A few
drops on the center of the plant
is sufficient. After the ap-
plication and within a couple of
days the plant decays down to
the end of its roots. Every plant
upon which you drop the gasoline
will die and decay. The method
is not as tedious as digging them
up with knife and you will never
be compelled to give the plant
the second treatment"
The question naturally arises
Whats the use" There are own
ers of lawns who take pride in
trying to keep down these pests
but when they look overvacant lots
and see them a carpet of yellow
flowers or having neighbors who
take no interest in destroying
dandelion, they go to work
morning and evening, in the effort
to keep them down, with little am
bition realizing that when the
seeds are formed the wind will
strew them alike on the "just aud
the unjust The only reward is in
knowing they are doing their best
to eradicate this nuisance around
their home. In using the gasoline,
care must be taken only to drip it
on the plant, otherwise it will kill
the grass wherever it comes in
contact with it.

He has made very practical and
important suggestion one that if
carried out will bring many people
here. 1t is that tn. fraternal So
cleties OF this city have literature
telling OF our advantages and send
1t to like societies of the country.
There are many of the brethern

knew of the conditions here for do
ing SO. He is member of the
Elks and Mystic Shrine and he in-
tends to let his brethern know in
