ARMY WORM m KANSAS.
State Entomologist Advises Farmers

Manhattan, June For the nrst
time In fifteen years severe tnvasions
OF the army worm are being reported
by Kansas farmers. George A. Dean,
professor Of entomology in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college, received
this morning twenty letters and a
number of kilograms from farmers
asking for Immediate advice as to the
eradication Of this pest. It II damag-

barrier to the progress of the
worms. there is nothing better than
q dust furrow made in the same way
as the furrow for the chinch bug.
Post holes are made in the bottom of
the furrow at intervals Of from ten
to fifteen feet, where the caterpillars
will collect in quantities, and may be
killed by kerosene or by crushing.
Large numbers may be killed by
spraying with an arsenic spray the
vegetation on which they are feeding.
Lead arsenate may be used at the rate
Of three pounds to fifty gallons of
water. or one pound of Paris green
and two pounds OF stone lime to fifty
gallons of water.
Quick Work Necessary.
If the worms are abundant in. an
alfalfa field. the crop should be cut
and the worms destroyed as they are
moving into an adjoining field. AL
falfa crops just starting may be pro-
tected by broadcast sowing of the poi
soned bait.
Measures must in all cases be quick
~ carried out, says Professor Dean.

The network of nerves in your body,
like the network Of wires in a burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way pain is
. useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
not to be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys. 49,
Backache is a common warning OF
congestion or Inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or
a sharp twinge when STOPPING or lift
ing. There are likely to be disorders
Of urination, dizziness. headaches, and
drowsy, Respondent, tired feelings.
It is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Bright's disease.
AS a special medicine for weak kid
neys Doan's Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli.
able. The patient can always help the
medicine immensely, however, by diet
ing lightly, using little or no liquor,
tea or coffee, keeping regular hours
and drinking lots Of pure water.

prisoners fell into their hands, shows
that the statements, SO freely made,
that they have been sending troops
from the west to Poland are without
foundation.
= AS a matter of fact military men
here believe the Germans dispatched
troops from the Russian front to the
west, not imagining that the Russian
pursuit could be carried out with the
rapidity with which it has been.
i" Claim Advances Elsewhere.
At other points along the battle
front in France official communica-
ton claims some successes for the
allies, but the German headquarters
staff declares that all attacks have
been repulsed. IT,. 81
1t is considered certain that with
the enormous forces required for the
effort to get through to the coast and
to protect their, own country from
Russian, invasion the Germans will
not be able to throw any additional
troops into the lines which stretch
through northern France and along
the Franco-German border. a.
On the other hand, the French,
whose army is growing daily, might
attempt an offensive against Lorraine
or Alsace as a diversion which would
relieve the pressure in the west.

DixMUDE TAKEN BY GERMANS
Important Position Occupied by the
kaiser's Troops-stiIl Seeking
Road to Coast.

London, Nov. 1.-THE Germans
have resumed their attack on the al
lied line between, the coast and the
Lys river, and while the French claim
to have held their positions, the Ger
mans have succeeded in capturing the
town of Dixmude, which has been the
center of some of the fiercest and
most sanguinary fighting of the war.
The country between Dixmude and
Ypres, where the belligerents have
been engaged in violent attacks and
counter-attacks for weeks, and where
the losses have been heavier than
even those in the battle of the User,
is again the, scene of battle which
for fury has seldom if ever been
equaled. IS. . %ss.

Behind Di2mude is the direct road
to Dunkirk, one Of the French ports
on which the Germans have set their
hearts, and if they can break through
here the allies will be compelled to
fall back to new positions.
The invaders have therefore been

point, and their success in taking Dix

London, Nov. 1.-TWO naval sue

The first was the destruction OF the
German cruiser Emden. 1t was driven

Indian ocean.
The second was the bottling up Of
the German cruiser Koenigsberg near

East Africa by the blockading Of the
channel to the harbor. This was done
by the Australian cruiser Chatham.
These two victories have cleared
allzthe high seas Of German cruisers

formed the country that adequate
measures have been taken to deal
with this feet, victor of the recent
