Oil Treatment for
Stomach Troubles

a simple prescription made tip of a
combination Of pure vegetable oils is
producing wonderful results for suf-
terers from stomach, liver and intestinal
troubles. The remedy, which is said
to have originated in France, where it
has been used for years by the peasantry.
was introduced into this country by
George II. Mayr, a leading Chicago
druggist, who cured himself of severe
stomach, liver and intestinal troubles by
its use. Those who have used it say the
first dose is sufficient to convince any
one of its remarkable merit, and that
within twenty-four hours the sufferer
feels like a new person. This medicine,
which has become known as Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy, is sold by leading
druggists everywhere with the positive
understanding that your money will be

San Jose Scale Has Spread
All Over the Village
and Beyond
COOPERATION OF
CITIZENS is ASKED
Harold l.. Bailey of State Department
of Agriculture Now Here to Bring
Matter Before Owners of Infested
Property.

The cooperation of the citizens of Brat
tlebOro and vicinity is asked by the state
department of agriculture in its present
campaign against the San Jose scale
Brattleboro and Westminster are the
only towns in the state where the pest
has gained a serious foothold, and it is
highly important that its spread be imme
diately stopped.
Since the situation in Brattleboro is
such that immediate eradication of the
scale would probably be impossible with
out a tremendous expenditure of money
on the part of the state the department
has adopted a plan whereby the further
spread of the pest from the present known
sources can be- prevented, and which,
with proper response from owners Of in
tested property, should greatly reduce, and
it is hoped, finally wipe out the scale here.
The insect has now spread all over the
village and in some cases outside, reach
ing natural barriers of woods and open
spaces devoid of fruit trees, 1t is pro
posed. therefore, to establish zone out
side of these barriers, keep the trees
therein carefully inspected, and should the
scale appear there at any time, take imme-
date steps to have it stamped out.
Inside the area infested it is the pur-
pose Of the department to bring the mat
ter before the owners of infested prop
erty. For this purpose Harold /. Bailey,
assistant to Commissioner E. s. Brigham,
is in town to remain until April 16 and
probably the following week Mr.. Bal
ley will be at the service of any one who
wishes advice as to fighting the scale.
Telephone calls will be taken at the
Brooks House

Measures for Eradication.

Besides the San Jose scale, three other
less important but somewhat destructive
scale insects are present in Brattleboro !:
The oyster-shell. the scurfy, and the
European fruit scales The same treat
ment applies to these as to the San Jose
scale, also the leaf blister mite, peach
leaf curl and several other fruit tree
pests.
Briefly the measures to be carried out
are these:
First Cut and burn every tree Of no
commercial or ornamental value.
Second. Thoroughly prune all remain
ing trees and shrubs.
Third Spray before buds open with
lime-sulfur or miscible oils Cover with
spray every particle of bark surface. Lime
sulfur can be procured in concentrated
should be diluted at the rate of one gal
lon of solution to eight or nine gallons
of water.
If these measures are carried out, the
trees so treated will be protected from
damage and the scale reduced to a negli-
gible quantity.
If these measures are not carried out,
the trees and shrubs will be ultimately
killed and the fruit growing industry Of
Wirdham county endangered by the in
crease of the pest.
The village owns a sprayer suited to
fighting the scale and other pests, and at
the request of Mr.. Bailey the village com
missioners offer the use of the apparatus
to any one who will pay enough to cover
the cost of the material and men to run
the machine.

JAPANESE TREE A WONDER
Puts Forth Immense Orange Which
Develops Into the Shape Of the
Human Hand.

In Japan grows an immense orange,
the shape Of the human hand, from
which fact 1t derives it's name, 'the
1ve-fngered orange" Some Of the
largest Of the matured fruit measure
eleven inches from stem to tip of the
middle finger. Naturalists say the
fruit has been developed into its pres
ent shape by mimicry aiming at self
protection.
AS If further to protecA it's singu-
larly delicious fruit, the trees twisted.
gnarled branches are so entangled
with the trunk that It is impossible
to find two inches Of stem growing in
the same direction. The tree seldom
grows more than six feet high and
sends out a multitude Of long, hard
needle-po1nted thorns.
When in bloom this ugly tree is an
immense bouquet of the most beauti-
full and fragrant blossoms, like those
of the ordinary orange tree and par
ticularly lovely pink blush color.
The flowers, which make their ap-
pearance in June or July, grow in
clusters Of two or three blossoms. The
fruit is lemon-yellow. growing green
ish towards the stem.

Lepers Allowed to Mate.

The Russian Medical council has
given permission for lepers to marry
with each other, but not with healthy
mates. The Lancet remarks that as
the birth-rate among lepers is very
low, the percentage of infant leprosy
is only about five per cent. But, 1t
adds, sit is imperative that arrange
ments be made in advance, and the
reasons carefully explained before
hand. to the leprous parents, to re-
move at once any newly born infant
from the custody Of its mother to q
distant home provided by the authori-
ties where the child may grow up
without danger of acquiring the infec-
ton from it's maternal parent"
For leprosy is not believed to bs
hereditary, but the intimate contact
between a mother and q nursing baby
is the surest means Of conveying the
Infection.

he is something of fisherman took
his first trip out to the fishing banks

but persistent. He bought a fiuke

heavy brown paper, and started for
home. Home was distant, and the al
lurements on the way were numerous.
Arriving somewhat the worse for

ly cast his parcel on the table before
her. There you are, my DEAR" said
he, "and don't tell me again I can't

In paper read before the Society
Of Chemical Industry the statement
was made that the strength of cast
iron was affected by the addition OF
wrought iron in the following proper
tions: With 100 parts of cast iron 10
parts of wrought iron increases the
strength per cent; 20 parts Of
wrought iron increases the strength
80 per cent; 80 parts of wrought iron
increases the strength go per cent; 40
parts Of wrought iron increases the
strength only 3S per cent. The max
imum result is therefore produced
