Shorter Intervals for Fertilizers.

Instead of semi-annual application
of fertilizers many citrus growers are
coming to observe the more recent
practice of three application a year.
1t is possible that even more frequent
applications would be beneficial. The
same conditions which make plant
foods easily and quickly available,
make them subject to teaching. If
the customary portion of fertilizer is
allowed a tree once year, it is able
to use only small amount of that
Immediately. The remainder is ex-
posed to the weather throughout the
year.
If the application is spread over the
entire year at suitable intervals, the
tree will make more economic use of
the food and the loss from teaching
will be reduced to the minimum. Fur
thermore, the progress of the trees
over the growing season probably
would be more uniform.
B. F. Floyd, plant Psychologist to
the University of Florida Experiment
Station, suggests that four or more
light applications year would be
best, provided that unfavorable condi-
tions did not prevent. During drouth
the applications would accumulate in
the soil so that when rains began the
results would be the same as one
heavy application. If the tree were
mulched and the fertilizer were APP
piled under the mulch, the rising
moisture from the lower soil proba-
! bly, would counteract the effects of the
drouth. Within certain limits, the
smaller the amounts applied and the
more frequent the interval the more
efficient the fertilizer will be. On
small trees half pound to the tree
every six weeks would be good prac-
tice. If the applications are frequent
the fertilizer should be complete SO
that large enough quantity could be
had to scatter beneath the tree.
is probable that the yearly amount
which is allowed each tree under or
binary practices could be reduced
somewhat by more frequent applica.

MRS. IDA WALTERS ROGERS
TO BE FULLY PROSECUTED
She Is Overcome When Informed
That an Indictment Is Be-
ing Sought.

NEW YORK, January 12.-When the
grand jury in the Bronx adjourned its
investigation yesterday afternoon of
the case of Mrs. Ida Sniffen Walters
Rogers, whose son, John, two years
old, and daughter. Lorida, eight months
old, died from poison which she gave
them and then took herself. District
Attorney Martin announced that he
would prosecute her to the limit of the
law for causing the death of her little
ones.
Mrs. Rogers was told today that Dis
trict Attorney Martin of the Bronx had
preferred a charge Of homicide against
her and had asked the grand jury to
indict her.
The news was broken by her lawyer,
who had planned to confer with her,
but Mrs. Rogers was so overcome that
he was obliged to leave her in the care
of nurses. While she had feared that
she might have to face such charge
she had been led to believe, it was
said, that she would escape with a
charge of attempted suicide. The grand
jury heard more witnesses in the case
today.
If the condition Of Mrs. Ida Sniffen
Rogers permits, the district attorney
will direct that she be removed next
week from the hospital to the county
Jail, on the ground floor of the county
courthouse at 161st street and Sd ave-
nue..
District Attorney Martin expects
to begin her trial in March if Mrs.
Counsel for Mrs. Caroline Giddings
Rogers said he hoped to have the
papers for her divorce from Lorlys Ell
ton Rogers ready to file before the end
of the week. A steady improvement in
was reported last night by the ply

An Easy Way To

Simple Home Treatment Destroys
Germs Of This DANGEROUS Disease.

Germs Of This DanGerOus Disease.
The reason why so many people who suf

the momentary relief of sprays, d0uchinG.
greasy creams ointments, etc. Such things
do open up the swollen nostrils and clear
the head temporarily besides stopping fer
a while the disgusting blowing. hawking,
splitting and choking, but they never cure.
To drive out Catarrh for good you have got
to get down to its real cause. Catarrh Is
germ disease. The air Is always full OF
catarrh germs thrown of by one person and
absorbed by anoOthe-. and when the system
does fall to throw OF such germs they hnd

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruf

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff Is to dissolve it. then you
destroy it entirely. To do this,
get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night,
when retiring: use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most. If not all. Of your dandruff
will be gone, and three OF four
more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace Of it, no
matter how much dandruff you
may have.
You will find. too, that all Itch
ing and digging Of the scalp will
stop at once, and your hair will
be huffy, lustrous. glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never falls to do the work.

DEATH ENDS LONG CONTEST.
Litigation Over Fifty Barrels of
Whisky Lasted Forty-Seven Years.

After forty-seven years of litiga-
tion between the government and Gas
pard Theurer and heirs of New Orleans
over fifty barrels Of whisky, the ST.
preme Court of the United States
yesterday decided the contest had been
forever ended by the death of Theurer.
In 1867 the government began suit
to condemn the whisky as having been
removed illegally from distillery.
Theurer lost the suit, but was granted
the right to appeal to the Supreme
Court I'm 1870. He never docketed his
appeal. and the government forgot
about the case for thirty-five years.
Then II sought to revive the suit
against Theurers heirs.
