AN INSID|OUS DISEASE.

Many farmers who have attri
buted their meager harvests to
bad weather, lack or fertilizer or
poor soil, may fnd, on examining
the roots, that they are covered
with swelliDgs or gals of vary
ing sizes, caused by the minute
eelworms or nematodes that are
becoming so common in sandy
soils. These little parasites are
frequently introduced on plants
of figs, peaches, grapes, etc, or
on soil from infested fields, and
multiply rapidly on a great vari.
ETY. of crops. Severely diseased
plants either die or are distinctly
situated with a sickly, y~ellowish
green color on both leaves and
stems bulletin.

''MORTMAIN."

TO the five part Vitaglslb Blue
Ribbon Feature, "Mortmaip",
written by Arthur G.. Train, oDe
of the best sensational writer's In
the country. An entirely new
theme has been developed and
the Vitagraph treatment pu's
this picture in a class by itself.
With Robert Edison as the
principal lead, the story Of
"Mortmaln" is unique, sensation
al and wieId. 1t deals With ad,
vanced surgical methods, parti
cularly the problem of limb graft
ing.
DIR. Crisp, an instructor in one
of the large medical institutions,
announces that he has solved this
problem. Moftmain, a gentle.
man of leisure and a friend of
Crisp's, is deeply interested. He
is heavily in debt 10 his friend,
Gordon Russell, who is also his
rival for the hand of Belle For.

mains troubled steps TO Russell's
house, where be overhears Rus

discussion. Later Russell is
foand murdered. Moftmain re.
turns and finds the notes he had
given Russell outside his own
door. He is about to burn these
notes, which would give bin
monetary freedom, when the
phone rings and be is told that
Russell has been murdered. He
faints aud falls to the floor injur-
ing his hand.
Flagg, the man who overheard
Mortmain's threat, is arrested on
suspicion but released on bail, be
calls during Mortmain's absence
aud discovers the notes which
add TO the circumstaDtial evi

Mortmain learns that his hand
must be amputated and the alter
native of getting another mans
hand to graft on the stump is
suggested by DIR. Crisp. He
6nally consents to the operation
and recovering consciousness
discovers that his grated hand
is the hand of Tom Forsythe (the
real murderer.) From that place
things work up rapidly to Ills ar
rest. The plot takes a remarka.

vincirg web around Mortmain.
How he vindlcates himself and

most startling incidents of this
