Medicine, is the Best.

Spring sickness comes in some
degree to every man, woman and
child in our climate. 1t is that rum

results from impure, impoverished,
devitalized blood. 1t is marked by
loss Of appetite and that tired feel
ing, and in many cases by some
form Of eruption.

ness is to take Hoods SarsaparilIa.
Ask your druggist for this old rcli-
able family medicine. 1t puriIies,
enriches and rcvitalizes the blood.
1t is an all-the-year-round alter
ative and tonic, and is absolutely
the best Spring medicine.
Get your blood in good condition
at once-now. Delay may be dam
gcrous. BE sure to get Hood 5 Sar-
saparilla, nothing else can take its
place.

RED ROT IN SEED CANE

Washington, u. G. May 17.-When
the sugar cane growers examined their
banks Of seed cane early last March
in Grady County, Georgia, they found
about oue-half of the cane dead Sim
liar losses occurred during the winter
of 1894. This presents a serious
problem, for in the southern part Of
the United States it is a common prac-
tice to store in soil beds during the
winter, i. e., to bank the sugar cane
to be used for planting the following
season. \ specialist of the United
States department of agriculture found
that the badly damaged canes were in

STANDARD OIL co. KEEPS
PRICES LOW ON PETROLEUM

Berlin. May 1S.--A great scarcity OF
petroleum prevails in Berlin. Accord
ing to some reports it cannot be
bought in the shops at all. Notwith-
standing the scarcity, however, the
price has been held uniformly at 22
pfennigs per litre since the war be-
gan: but there is now movement
on foot to raise it to 30 pfennigs. 1t
is explained that the German branch
of the Standard Oil Company purpose
ly kept down the price so that pc
troleum might not be displaced during
the war by gas or electricity.

known as Colletrotrichim falcatum.
/ Examination of the cane showed that
the rot usually began about the nodes
and that frequently the eyes were ap-
parently dead, the stalks still retain
ing their normal color inside. OFTEN
there were brown, water-soaked spots
at the nodes at or near the points from
which the roots of the new plant
emerge. Occasionally it appeared as
though the rot had proceeded from
the leaf sheaths into the note.
In uncovering the bank OF sugar
cane stored for seed, it is not uncom-
mon to find some of the tender ends
Of the stalks much rotted. In this
season. however, in the majority Of
cases these ends show an excessive
brown wet-rot beginning at the tip or
internOdes of the stalks. The spots
varied in size and in some instances
extended the full length Of the inter
node. Where the fungus penetrated
the tissues to any extent, "A red discol
Grafton was present, many canes show
ing this their full length.
A careful inspection of banks OF
seed cane was made by the depart
ments specialist in Grady County
Georgia, and in the vicinity of Apala-
chicola, Florida, to ascertain the in
fluences eXerted by the different con
ditons under which the cane might be
bedded. 1t was generally agreed
among the planters that cane for
banking should be cut in a rain or
Immediately after a rain, so that the
cane would so into the bank wet. The
small bank was thought to be less con-
