then passed through several inches
VI cement like adobe beneath which
was q coarse sandy soil. Directly
after these holes were dug and the
tree watered il put forth luxuriant
growth. which is plainly evident even
nov. The treatment and surrounding
circumstances would lead one to be-
lieve that the layer Of cement like
adobe directly under the surface had
made ii difficult for the soil to re-
ceive proper drainage and aeration.
Theories are easy to form. but I.
is at least interesting to note that
the practical treatment given by Mr..
Ernst in that particular instance. re-
lieved the unfavorable situation aud
the trees started to grow. II seems
likely to me that the young fruit trees
have died Of fungus disease Of
the roots. II is quite possible that
the conditions for the growth Of this
disease are made favorable by the
tightness Of the soil. In some local
tiles there are 40 many things that
seem to effect the growth Of young
trees. that il will not be an easy mat :
ter 10 determine the exact causes.
The tightness Of the soil can be
greatly relieved by the use Of humus
which, Of course, is lacking in all
Of our western soils.
II any evidence ON this point is
necessary, il will be interesting for
those who doubt. to visit Mr.. Ernst
farm and see where part Of his young
peach orchard was planted in an old
corral where the manure was over II
foot deep. The three year-old peach
trees on that spot are over ten feet
high, the growth is almost tropical
in luxuriance.
Il has been suggested by some that
the hot sun Of the summer ferment>
the plant juices causing them to kill
the tree. That may be partly tr,c
but il does not account for the sud-
den death Of young trees in the early
spring months. II has also been sug'
ycsted by the agricultural college that
the large part Of the trouble has
been caused by lack Of iron in the
soil. II is possible that any one of
these things may cause the trouble
with young apple trees in this locali-
~.
/ Some remarkable successes have
been made with the growth of young
trees and there must be some reason
for it. An effort will be made to in
vestigaie the methods of these sue
cessful men in the valley, that their
knowledge and the benefit Of their
experience may be available for the

GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
I'm the air. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade OF hair which is so attrac-
tive. use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
50-cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally. so evenly. that
nobody can possibly tell 1t has been
applied. Besides. il takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with IL and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Is
that, besides beautifully darkening the
hair after few applications, 1t also
brings back the gloss and lustre and

Men and CIGARS.

marks" said the cigar salesman who.
because of his solemn garb, had been
mistaken for a man of the cloth. AS
cending the platform, he said:
Men are like cigars. Often YOU
cannot tell by the wrapper what the
filler is. Sometimes a good old stogie
is more popular than an important
celebrity. Some men are all right in
the showcase. on display, but are great
disapTointments when you get them
home. No matter how fine a man is,
eventually he meets his match. a
two-fer often puts on as many airs as
q fi:ty-center. Some men never get to
the front at all except during cam
paiens. Some are very fancy outside
and are selected for presents. Others
have a rough exterior. but spread
cheer and comfort about them because
Of what is inside. But all men. as all

Report of Secretary.
During the past year more events
of Importance to our association have
happened than during any year it has
been my pleasure to record the min
utes. At the beginning of the year,
Nov. 5, 1913, the officers and board
wondered how all could be accom-
Ilished that seemed to be waiting to
be done. bat where there's a will
there's a way" and several dreams
have been realized.
Since the annual meeting, 1918, God
has taken one beloved nurse from her
work and our work, but her works
do follow her. and as we look over
the work of the months since she
left us, we can but feel her influence
has been not only with the sick poor
among whom she ministered, but
upon the public and the board with
whom she 50 faithfully labored.
The officers and board have held
l. regular and five special meetings.
with the president in the chair at each
meeting, and an average attendance
of eight members.
In April, 1911, DR.. Mueller told the
visiting nurse board something of the
work of the child welfare association,
and il was decided to establish
branch of that association. The West
End settlement generously offered to
cooperate in this work and the meet
ings have all been held at the settle
ment house. From May until now 81
mothers have taken their babies each
Wednesday to have the doctor and
nurse, under whose direction the
work is carried on, to have the health
record kept. In June the need for a
milk station was felt and again the
West End settlement and visiting
nurse association cooperated in es-
five stations, where milk |
suited to the needs of each baby could |
be obtained, the West End settlem ent |
giving all the equipment and the !
Kings Daughters and friends the mon
ey with which to buy milk for those |
who could not pay for what they |
needed. Only eight mothers have TAX
IN advantage of the milk station, but
many better babies" The Helpers
circle of Kings Daughters has paid
Tor milk and eggs for all the tuber-
,ular patients under the care of the
visiting nurses, and not only have
paid for the milk and eggs, but have
personally visited and dressed these

great good that the association
through its visiting nurses accom-
plisles. Not only do they relieve much
suffering of body, but also of mind.
giving encouragement and help to thet
downcast and stimulating them to in
creased activity and self respect
Their work is wholly unselfish and
hundreds of their patients hold them
in highest respect and love them, ex-
pressing in often pathetic ways their
appreciation of the services rendered
them.
The work should receive the sup
port of the public. 1t should make the
work its business and aid in every
possibly way to promote it here in the
city.

been treated from selfish commercial
or selfish political standpoints. Under
the present strain, our people are ris-
ing to the occasion and dealing with
them in a more intelligent and patriot

tiers. there are others whose considera-

for the poor and the board wishes me
to thank them.
In memory of Margaret Giles me-
mortal fund was started by the Dis
trict Nurses association. Some
friends have added to this fund and
hope it may grow until some great
good may be done-a hospital built,
perhaps This fund is in trust and
may be added to by any one who may
wish to perpetuate Miss Giles memory
in this way
The visiting nurse work is being
done by our two faithful nurses, Miss
Flanagan, who was chosen last year
70 succeed Miss Giles, and Miss Turn
bull, who has been with us in the work
for two years. 1t is often necessary
to supply a third nurse for half day,
and especially since the welfare and
milk stations take part of the time of
one nurse each day to prepare the
milk and to be at the weighing of the
babies each Wednesday afternoon.
The only thing needed for continued
success in the work of the Visiting
Nurse association is the continued in
terest of the friends who so generous
ly support the ones who give time and
talent for the good of suffering hui
manity.
