TELLS HOW TO STOP
 ARMY WORM INVASION
Secretary of State Agricultural Board Advises Bran and
 Paris Green.

The crops most likely to be at tackled by the army worm, which is invading some parts Of Connecticut, Leonard J. Healey, secretary of the state board of agriculture.
 'sThe damage to these. if attacked, z the secretary said yesterday, -.may be greatly lessened if prompt measures are taken to eradicate the worms As soon as first seen, the oats or millet should be cut and kept stirred up as much as possible As soon as they are fit to go to the barn or stack, shake them well and remove.
 Then prepare a mixture of bran, Paris green in the proportion of twenty five pounds of bran to one pound of Paris green. mixing thor Ioughly, using enough molasses and water to make 1t nashey. Sow this broadcast over the field infested. A second application may be necessary If there is field. adjacent to or nearby. of corn or some other crop likely to be attacked. it should be pro- t&Nked by blowing a furrow around it, &Ng back and forth with the ploy tiARa or six times in the same furrow both ways.
 This tends to make the ditch deep and more abrupt with the dirt finely pulverized. making it harder for the worms to get foothold in crawling over it. It is sometimes necessary to make two or three ditches about ten feet apart. When they are pre- pared. the bottom of the ditch ors ditches should be strewn with the mixture of bran and Paris green.
 This pest has invaded the south

So Precious

Every Youngster Can Have Fine Digestion if Given
 Good Baby Laxative.

Tn spite of the greatest personal care and the most intelligent attention to diet babies and children will be- come constipated, and 1t is .. fact that constipation and indigestion have wrecked many young life To start with a good digestive apparatus is to start life without handicap.
 But. as we cannot all have perfect working bowels. we must do the next best thing and acquire them, or train them to become healthy. This can be done by the use of a 1axative-tonic very highly recommended by great many mothers. The remedy is called Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsil1 and has been on the market for two. genera tions- It can be bought conveniently ly at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar a bottle, and those who are al- ready convinced Of it's merits buy the dollar size.
 It's nnfIdness makes 1t the ideal med icine for children, and 1t is also very pleasant to the taste. It is sure in its erect, and genuinely haEnlless. Very little of 1t is required and it's frequens < use does not cause it to lose it's effect; as is the case with so many other rem edies.
 Thousands can testify to Its merits in constipation. indtgestion, bill ous- ness, sick headaches etc. among them reliable people like Mrs. James R. House, of DEarinette. Wis. Her little son Howard was fifteen months old last April, but he was sick with bowel

Frozen pear is d delicious dessert for hot weather. and easy to make. Pack an unopened can of pears in ice and salt, as for lee cream; after three hours open 1t, slip out the frozen pears. slice them and serve with whip ped cream
 To make banana jam, slice a. dozen large banauss. To every pound of the fruit allow three -quarters Of a pound of preserving sugar. Take the juice and pulp of five lemons and add chem to the bananas and sugar. Add little water. Then chop up half an ounce Of preserved ginger and add. Simmer very slowly for fifty minutes
 A fragrant scent ball to keep fin lace and handkerchief boxes can be made with an orange and some cloves. Take a perfectly sound orange with a. thick skin, stick it all over with cloves, forcing them into the heads, and planting them as thickly as possible, and leave the orange to dry. When dry, 1t will emit a delicious odor, and will retain the scent for nearly year.
 To make Roman pie, mince up any cold meat, add a little Well-cooked macaroni and a little good thick, brown gravy, season to taste. Make a short crust. Line an ordinary cake tin with it, fill up with the meat, and lay a cover Of pastry on tops decorate to taste; brush. over with warm milk,

THE SOUTHERN
FifeId and Wright Due
for the Pink Slip; Kavanaugh
After Carpenter.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 19-South-
n ern League fans will find at
least three of the octet Of UNI
r,res President Kavanaugh employed
last season to guess decisions around
thu circuit missing when the gong
sounds on April IS. Word from Lit
tie Rock has it that Messrs. Stock
dale, F4feId and Wright have been
cut loose from the reserve list, and
that Prexy Kavanaugh Is now scour-
tng the country to replace the trio,
who continually annoyed local bugs
BY rendering poor decisions and gen.
eral incompetency.
OF the umpires Mr.. Kavanaugh
would hook, if possible, is Bill Carpen-
ter who left the Southern two years
ago to finish the season in the Inter
national, in order to save some of the
poorer jumps their jobs for the re-
mainder of the season. The Little
Rock jurist has been negotiating with
Carpenter, but from present indica-
lions there isn't a chance in a dozen
10 sneak Bill from the Barrow organi-
cation.
A MONG the active players at pres
~ ent who stands a splendid chance
Of becoming a member of President
Kavanaugh's staff of arbiters is Jakey
Atz. field leader of the Pels last year.
Atz has had considerable experience,
and 1t was suggested to Charley
Frank by a we'll connected baseball
man locally before his term of office
ended as Pei mogul to recommend
Jakey for one of the $500 per month
jobs.
ALI. however, according to his inti-
mate friends, is not quite ready to be-
come an ump as yet. Jakey figures
on lasting through the coming season,
but may take a whirl at the other
end of the sport in 1915. So far as
umpires go, Atz has any man Presi-

bloom and look like the rarest flower

BANKING next to McGraw ard
~ Mack as successful managers arr
Hughey Jennings. of the Tigers, and
Frank Chance, former Cub manager,
now leader of the New York Yankees.
Chance resembles McGraw in tenn
permanent and In methods. He is
driver man who is feared by his
players. No man ever worked under
Chance to love him as the Mackites
love their leader Yet Chance drove
his men to the top Of the National
League I'm 1906, 1903, 1909 and 1910,
and annexed three World Series titles
Jennings is another type. He is a
driver yet he tempers his driving
with words of kindness. He makes
his charges realize that he Is boss,
and what he says must GO But his
men do not fear him. They know that
this red headed, nervous, energetic
lrlshman is their friend and that, al
though. he IS "A stern taskmaster, ne
appreciates good work and always is
ready to reward IT.
Jennings skill as leader has been
tested perhaps more than has that Of
the other three. Time and again there
have been internal dissensions In the
Tiger ranks. Jealousy caused SQUAD
bles that would have disrupted a ball
team with only an ordinary manager.
But Jennings proved himself a dip
lomat as well as a manager. He made
the warning players patch up their
differences: he cemented breaches that
seemed almost beyond cementing, and
he restored the Tiger gang to a peace
full, happy family after a fercely con
tested feud.
