pleted their growth as larvae and
come down the trunk to undergo
their changes on the ground be-
meath the trees.
They are at Our mercy wien
they come to The ground in this
fashion, and large numbers of
them may be destroyed with
scalding hot water or with coal
oil. Traps are sometime made of
sticky fly paper so as to collect
quantities of them and render
their destruction more easy. If
these insects at the foot of the
tree are allowed to complete their
changes they become beetles in
a short time and go back to pro-
duce another brood of worms.
This continues throughout the
summer, several broods being
developed before fall.
1t will be seen from this &c
count that the insect is capable
of destroying all of the leaves of
a tree, and if this is permitted
during the whole of one season,
trees are very greatly weaken
ed and show signs of decline.
They are sometimes killed out
right by the insects when moth
ing is done to prevent.
While a good deal can be
done by the treatment suggest
ed, namely, destroying the in

trunk from the leaves, the most
effective treatment is spraying
the leaves as soon as the beetles
begin to appear in the spring

Drink keeps on getting the best
of them.
There is certain relief for the
one who is trying to stop and is
carried on to further excuses by
craving desire. The very fact
that you crave liquor is simply
proof that you are alcoholically
poisoned. There is poison in
every drink of liquor you take
a little poison-apd the more
you drink the greater becomes
the store of poison in your sys-
tenn.
1t is this poison that does the
miSchief-robs you of reason, of
health, of love and of business
sense. Take the Neal Treatment
at once. Go to Capt. c. M. hoi-
loway's home, now the NeaI IN
stitute, and enjoy a three days
vacation among the trees and
flowers. You'll come out with
clear brain, active in mind and
with nerves stronger.
The Neal Treatment as ad-
ministered there is purely vege-
table and is given internally,
with no dangerous hypodermic
injections. There is no publicity,

in fifty gallons or about bar
rel of water. A single spraying at
this time will in ordinary cases
serve to keep the trees from Sc
we're injury for the rest of the
summer. This preparation must
be applied by means of a force
pump and spray nozzle. Pumps
of sufficient strength and capac-
ity to spray large elm trees may
be bought for from about twenty
to thirty dollars. The hose nee
essary must be strong and of
such length fifty feet at least)
that the one using the nozzle can
climb up into the trees and so
reach the topmost branches.
Outfits of the sort needed for
such spraying can be bought of
the Deming Co., Salem, Ohio; or
of the Goulds Manufacturing
Co., Senaca Falls, N. Y; or of
number of other similar man
ufacturing establishments. Any
one with good muscles can oper-
ate these pumps. A barrel or
two of the mixture ought to
spray almost any of our elm
trees. A single tree is worth sew
eral times the cost of a spraying
outfit. The cost of treatment
after this purchase is made is
but slight.
Arsenate of lead may be
bought of the Grasselli Chemical
Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Local druggist often keep it, or
can order it.
In conclusion it may be sug-
gested that some one in each
community of the States can
make for himself useful occu-
patton by getting a good spray
ing outfit and treating the shade
and fruit trees of his neighbors.
Owners of a few trees, and often
owners of an orchard, will glad
ly pay for the services of some
one equipped and competent to
do this work for them.

Old Human Nature Pays
Mighty Big Price for Booze.

Death tapped at the home of
a young business man the other
day and the cause of the sudden
end of a valuable life was chart
tably laid to disease. Medical
authorities arc charitable. If the
naked truth were only empha-
sized, many a death that is now
credited to heart trouble, apop-
lexy, cirrhosis of the liver, and a
score of other diseases would be
returned as Alcoholism.
Insurance companies know the
terrible increase in death rate for
which the drink habit is respon-
sible, And yet the desire for
drink has fastened itself upon
tens of thousands, who for the
sake of liquor, are shortening
their lives and decreasing their
efficiency.
1t is worst sort of folly to
keep on drinking when you can
quickly rid yourself of a habit
that is not only dangerous, but
expensive.
Spring Grove and other local
cemeteries are filled with graves
of men who would be alive today
had they not wrecked their
health by drink indulgence. This
isn't scare story, but is as true
as gospel

-HE woman who loves flowers pos
sesses a heart attuned unto all
I things womanly. She loves flowers
because she enjoys their colors, their de-
velopment and the pleasure OF seeing
them grow from mere cuttings or seed
lings to maturity. Spring calls woman
from the house, and gardening is
healthy occupation.
Hard seeds will not germinate unless
scalded. Pour on them some hot water,
but not boiling. and as soon as this be-
gins to cool. pour it of and put on fresh.
Do this three or four times. then plant,
and your seeds will all germinate. You
can plant fine flower seed more evenly if
you put them in salt shaker, mixing
them with little sand.

clay holds the moisture.
To be at their best, pansies require
rather cool situation, with partial shade
and a cool, moist, fertile soil. They may
be grown in the open sunshine, provid-
ed the soil is reasonably cool and al
ways kept moist. One thing to be re-
membered is to keep the blossoms picked
regularly and not to allow any seed to
form, as the ripening of seed will shorten
the life and blooming period. Pick the
blossoms as fast as they fully expand

Anybody can grow nasturtiums. Not
that they will not repay careful culture
and considerate attention but they will
contrive to exist under almost any con-
dition. Not only is it one of the easiest
of the common flowers to grow, but it is
also one of the most satisfactory. 1t
makes a splendid show in the garden.
The dwarf varieties are excellent for
borders. The taller kinds are handsome
when allowed to climb over rocks or
fences, or when grown in porch boxes.
The nasturtium is not particular as to
soil, but it must have sunlight and good
drainage. Plant about an inch deep in
finely pulverized soil. and then press the
soil down firmly upon the seeds. The
blossoms will keep for a long time when

may be used as a salad or for n sand

Homemade Taffeta Frock.

A DAINTY finish for the homemade
taffeta frock is a picot edge It is
q dainty finish. of course, for a ready
made frock or for one made by the most
exclusive and expensive dressmaker in
the land. But it is especially desirable
for the homemade frock. for it gives a
sure and finished touch that it is diff
cult for the home sewer to get.
The picot edge is put on by the shops
who do machine hemstitching and pleat-
ing The outline to be taken by the
edge must be marked with a basting
thread and the work is usually promised
within twenty-four hours This sort of
edge is suitable for the bottom of tunics
and flounces. and for the edge Of collars
and cuffs.
1t is when the home sewer learns to
take advantage of various sorts of smart
finishes that she can hope to make
clothes that lack homemade look.
Tulle and net and lace frilling and ruch-
ing and ruffiing, braid and velvet ribbon,
pleating and picot edging, and ready
made belts and grdles and collars and
cuffs-all these things make the home
sewers task easier and surer of success.

woman passed along the promenade wear
ing the same model in the same cloth,
made by the same house. Her gown was
i'll a heavier weave OF material, and 1t
was trimmed with fur. An artist nearby
cautioned a photographer against taking
it, as 1t was a winter model So much for
the struggle in dress!
Yet every one was right. The house Of
Cheruit is putting out this exact model
for the spring. the two Americans wore
the gown of the week from a famous
place. the American dressmaker was
clever enough to have realized Its value
when Nine. Cheruit first appeared In 1t,
and the Frenchwo:nan who had worn 1t
since December had the good taste to
appear in a winter suit, cut on a good
model.
So far. all these models have been made
of blue cloth. first serge. then velvet.
then golfine, now gaberdine. The skirt

ming. The silhouette at the back Is not

opens from there to the waist.
Remember this point in the fashions OF
the day, for one can put the finger on
1t as ruling one, that the Jacket fastens
at the neck. 1t is disturbing fashion.
for 1t alters entirely the present method
OF arrangement. On every side one sees
this kind of jacket. and 1t gives to the
silhouette an effect of 1870 that is star
ting, and added to the scoop hat and the
demure turnover collar, with Its narrow
black ribbon cravat, or large round
brooch. one gets a clear picture OF the
style of tomorrow.
Look where one would at the races
there one was met by this same kind of
jacket. 1t is as demure as d daguer-
reotype. In taffeta. blue and black, 1t
gave one an imp ression that the wearer
had stepped out of tableau. and did
not belong to the modern atmosphere.
After while, one was convinced that
new epoch in clothes was commencing
right here at Auteuil. 1t was, for
student of dress conditions, the right
spot at the right moment.
Another fashion that was interesting
was the tendency Of the coats, no mat
ter how short, to droop In the back, and
the tendency of the skirts. also short, to
tilt upward. This silhouette is borrowed
from our nearby ancestors.
That it will be successful, there is no
longer any doubt. 1t is being multiplied
too rapidly for defeat A certain touch
Of fashion may be defeated by over
popularity, but a silhouette, never. Each
woman may work it out in q different
manner, and dressmaking houses may
advance ugly or unpopular features. but
this does not alter the important point.
The silhouette is in the process OF a
revolution. as many other things are, and
it behooves all women to watch it.
