PROTECT THE SHADE TREES
Time Now to Begin Fight on canker
Worm Pest, Says an Agricultural
College Expert

War has been declared No it is not
with shot and shell that the fight is
to be waged, but with sticky bands
and spraying solutions The common
enemy is the canker worm
ITO assure success in the combat
too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity of beginning early"
says George A. Dean, professor Of en-
tomology in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
-'In the case OF shade trees or OF
few fruit trees, a simple method, and
one that gives excellent satisfaction,
consists in banding the trunk OF the
tree with a sticky substance to pre-
vent the ascent of the wingless fe-
males. The best method is to smear
the sticky substance on bands Of
heavy paper, such as building or tarred
paper, bound to the trunk of the tree
1.-The paper bands should be put on
in the first warm days of February or
early spring, and the sticky substance
renewed whenever the material hard
ems. In order to close all crevices be-
tween tree and band, strip of cotton
batting = chapest grade - about 2
inches wide should be placed around
the tree, and covered with the band
of tarred paper. The paper should be
drawn snugly enough to press the
thick band of cotton into the crevices-
THE band can be easily fastened at
the end with three sharp-pointed
tacks about three-fourths of an inch
long. If the paper band is much
wider than the narrow cotton one If
will completely cover it, and thus
avoid the unsightly appearance Ct cot
ton either above or below the edges
of the paper"
A number of substances of a sticky
nature are suggested by this author
ity. Among them are pine tar, coal
tar, printers ink, and dendr0fene. The
best substance, and one that remains
sticky for the entire season, however,
is tree tanglefoot"

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
traIize Irritating Acids-SpIendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid. says a noted authority.
Fhe kidneys filter this acid from the
Elood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inlame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with a scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful. this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine SO it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless.
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cant Whitewater drink, which quickly
believes bladder trouble.-Adv.

The art OF the milliner means more
than the material she works with, or
quite as much, anyway, in producing
hats in which style is the strongest
element. Here are two attractive and
inexpensive hats, made Of familiar fab
RIGS, that demonstrate how cleverly
ideas may be interpreted in materials
that every milliner has at hand. These
hats are suited to any season, too,
which is a great factor in their favor.
The pretty model, with spangled
crown and brim of ruff1ed malines
may be made in black or in any of the
colors in which spangled bands are
to be found, with malines to match
A crown Of nacre or opalescent span
giles used with cream-cOlored malines
would make a beautiful and very
dressy hat. The ruffle of malines is
made of four thicknesses, wired for
support and put on in box -plaits. A
half wreath of foliage and nat silk
roses is applied at the right side and
back, over the malines. This is one of
those hats that are simple enough in
construction to be made by the home
milliner. She will succeed by making
a faithful copy of it.
The turban of satin presents also
no great difficulties to the ambitious
needlewoman. The frame is in two
pieces, which are covered separately.
The covering of the crown is plain,
except for a fold in the satin which

Real Harm fn Smoking.

Scientists at the Paris medical col
lege have found by a series of expert
ments that, as PSYCHOLOGISTS have long
asserted, tobacco smoke has an injuri-
Gus effect on the heart, but that this
effect is not dependent on the amount
Of nicotine contained in the tobacco;
in fact, smoke from the combustion Of
materials other than tobacco appeared
to be about as harmful. The deleteri-
Gus effects are attributed to the null
tiple products Of combustion in the
smoke.

The side crown is covered with a
bias strip stretched smoothly about it.
Thelower part of the coronet is also
covered with a plain bias strip of satin.
At the top puff of satin, or of faiIle
or MORE ribbon, gives the required va
riety and finish. A fine wire is in
serted in the lower edge of the puff
where it joins the satin This is not
to be neglected if the hat is copied;
it is the touch that betrays the work
of the professional.
A narrow novelty band and fat ca
bochon of beads, in the same color
as the hat, give it dash of briIliance
and color contrast is managed by ap-
plication of sprays of silk foliage and
a rose at each side. These sprays are
bought readymade.

or other lightweight silk, is to be

may be simplified by FASTING in the lin

in, silk thread matching the hat In
color, and fine needle, make the task
Of concealing stitches less tedious.

URGE SPECIAL TAX ON
BIG MOTOR VEHICLES
Movement in New York to Urge
Special Tax on Trucks.

There Is a movement on foot In New
York state to have the Legislature i'm
pose a special tax on motor trucks and
buses on the ground that these vehicles
damage public highways. No doubt this
kind OF traffic gives a severer test to the
wearing qualities of the highways than
was anticipated at the time of the con-
struction of many of the so-called good
roads.
In this connection, however. II must be
borne in mind that II Is a Fundamental
proposition that the highways should be
free-free for the benefit Of all the peo-
nv. In other words. the taxation OF
omobiles to maintain roads. or the
4 position OF special taxes on motor
trucks. for example. Is not in keeping
with the time honored conception OF the
public highway.
The cost of motor car operation Is to-
day one Of this country's big economic
problems. II Is uppermost in the minds
OF the great majority of automobile
owners. Coincident with the talk of in
has gone higher and higher until 1t IL
double what II was six months ago.
But good comes from evil, from the
standpoint of the motorist, because the
solution of the problem Of the cost OF
operation Is being worked out as never
before. Owners and prospective buyers
like the builders of Ssrs. are working Il
out themselves. because all are coming
to a full realization Of the fact that the
only solution to the problem Is to bt
found In more efficient cars-cars which
are more economical.
Undoubtedly the next few years will
witness revolutionary changes for the
better In respect to all phases Of the
c5st of operating motor cars.
