Worth Careful THOUGHT

Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar, derived from grapes and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful-
ness for low price,.

man THAT he had bought the poison
only to help the old man do away
with himself.
Judge Rosalsky looked up the law
which. could be invoked against Waite
on the acceptance of his story It is
embraced in Section 23o4 of the Pc
nal Code, and reads:
"A person who wilful1y, in any
manner advises, encourages, aJbets or
assists another person in taking tine
latter's life is guilty of mansIaughter
in the first degree"
The maximum penalty ON such a
conviction is 20 years.
Last night there arrived in town
several witnesses from Grand Rapids,
who will go before the grand jury on
Monday to complete the case against
Waite--to bring about an indictment
for first degree murder.
AS corol1ary to the discovery of
the sale of the arsenic, there was
learned simultaneously the fact that
Waite has purchased in both liquid
and powder form quantities of poison,
principally arsenic. since Dec. 81, two
weeks before his mother-in-Iaw Wis
tied his Riverside Drive home.
When the grand jury reconvenes an.
other witness. will be E. H. Williams.

old Peck personally. He made a
statement to the District Attorney yes
terday in which he said in part:
up to Feb. %, Mr.. Peck appeared
to be in the best of health. After that
time he complained of pains in his
stomach. He asked me If ever had
stomich. He asked me if I ever had
such pains after eating ice cream.
F'' Last night he. said, I ate some
pistachio ice cream in my son -in-law's
home and it gave me severe pains
Several times afterWard he COM
planned Of pains. I advised him to go
to a doctor.{ He replied he didn't be-
1ieve in medicine, that his son-in-1a.w
had given him some, but somehow or
other it didn't relieve him much"
At z O'Clock last night Waite was
transferred to Bellevue hospital, where
he will remain until he is strong
enough to be arraigned.
Warren w. Waite. father of the pris-
oner, with his son Frank. went to
Bellevue hospital last night, but were
not permitted to see him.

the father. ct am sure he meant tho
harm. can't understand his trouble
The elder Waite who is a commits
sion merchant in Grand Rapids, ar
rived in town with his wife last night.
They went to the home of their son,

in until about 100 years ago. Ow-

and most Of the earlier yachts car

in England at the beginning of the
last century were either on the lines
OF revenue cutters or smugglers.
The best Of them were built by
Charles White, who would, it is said,

Rose Bugs and HOlU You Can
Get Rid of the Destructive Pests

from neighboring fields to take their
place. Many so-called "sure" rene
dies, including compounds of copper,
lime, kerosene and tobacco, have
failed to give results when put to a
rigid test. Whatever practice of a
remedial nature is undertaken,
whether collecting or spraying, it
should be begun at the first onset of
the insects attack and continued I'M
til they disappear. The work should
not be confined entirely to those use
ful plants which it is particularly
desired to preserve, as the insects at
tack many other plants.
Ornamental plants that are hardy
may possibly be protected by heavy
application of arsenate of lead, US
ing or pounds to so gallons of
either water or Bordeaux mixture.
Very thorough applications should be
made when the insects first appear,
and repeated applications should be
made as found necessary.
For the destruction of the beetles
on fruit trees, as peach, apple, etc,
arsenate of lead should be used pre-
ferably in a fungicide, such as Bor-
deaux mixture, when the beetles first
appear 1t should be applied at the
strength of or pounds to so gal
Ions of spray. In spraying peaches
and other stone fruits the arsenical
should be used in the selfboiled lime
sulphur wash or in so gallons of
water which contains lime wash made
from shaking or pounds of good
stone lime. Repeated applications
may be necessary, depending upon
the extent of reinfestation of the
trees by newly emerged beetles, or
those from other sources.
The rose-chafer is extremely sem
sitive to disturbance when it is in
the pupal stage in the soil. Since
both larvae and beetles are very ten
ticious of life the pupal stage APP
pears to furnish the most vulnerable
period of attack, and large numbers
may be destroyed by simply stirring
the breeding grounds at the proper
time to depth of or more inches.
In the South the operation should be
commenced in May.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1916-05-17

The rose-chafer or "rose-bug," as
it is often called, is one of the most
widely distributed and troublesome
insects with which the florist or gar
dener has to contend.
The insects appear as long-legged
beetles of a yellowish brown color,
usually in the month of May. They
strip all kinds of vegetables; fruits
and flowers of blossoms and foliage,
and where especially plentiful do
great damage. In from four to six
weeks after their first appearance
they leave as suddenly as they came.
Rose and grape vines especially suf-
fer from attacks of the insects, but
the beetles are almost equally de-
structive to fruit, shade and other
trees and shrubs. When the rose
chafers are especially numerous they
attack even berries, peas, beans and
nearly all garden fruits and vegeta-
bles.
Kill Chickens.
Besides the damage done to vege-
tation the beetles sometimes cause
the death of young chickens. The
chickens eat the beetles and poison
ing results in the death of the chick
en- within "a hours. Experiments
have developed the fact that from
fifteen to twenty beetles are sutfi-
cient to kill week-old chick.
The character of the soil bears an
important relation to the appearance
of the rose-chafer. Light sandy re-
gions are greatly preferred as a
breeding ground, while clay lands,
unless near sandy soil, are seldom
troubled.
Methods of Control.
A thoroughly effective remedy
against this insect is yet to be dis
covered. Any application that may
be made is unsuccessful unless ap-
piled almost continuously, for as Of
ten as the beetles on plant are kill
ed others arise from the ground or

GAVE SHERIFF'S DOGS
SEVERAL LIVELY RUNS
WIFE BEATER A VERITABLE
SLIM JIM UNTIL THE NEIGH
BORIS TOOK A HAND.

A few days ago Wash Jordan, a
negro, was arrested by Bailiff R. A.
Cannon on the charge of whipping
his wife, and started toward Sasser
for a committaI trial Wash kept his
eye on the bailiff, and when he
caught him off his guard jumped
from the buggy and made his escape
with his hands cuffed. The bailiff tel
ephoned for Sheriff Turner to bring
his dogs to help run the negro down,
and the sheriff went to the other Off
GERS aid Soon the dogs were on his
trail, which led to blacksmith shop,
where the track was lost, and it is
presumed that the handouts were cut
off at this shop, and the negro spirit
ed away in a buggy, and the chase
was abandoned. A few days later
the sheriff was notified that the ne
gro had again been seen, and ne rush
ed with his dogs to the place deslg-
mated, and again had a chase, but
Wash again used the Slim Jim stunt
on the officers, and the chase was
again abandoned.
Friday Wash again showed MINI
self and the sheriff was promptly no
titled, and went with his dogs to re-
new the chase. This time the dogs
took up the track and followed it to to
the Wall quarter, where the sheriff
found Wash backed up against tree
surrounded by about twenty-five ne
gro men, women and children armed
with shotguns. pistols and sticks.
Wash's Slim Jim tactics failed to
work in this instance, because his
own folks we're pursuing him, and he
was as proud to see the sheriff as
though he was a long lost brother

DAWSON Will
CELEBRATE JULY 4
Countrywide BARBECUE AND
DoUBLE-HEADER BASEBALL
CAME PLANNED.

Dawson is planning to open her
doors on July 4th countrywide. She
wants as her guests every white citi-
zen, man, woman and child, in the
county for a spend-the-day party to
participate in safe, sane celebration
of the Fourth.
The forenoon will be taken up with
patriotic exercises, including a speech
by some speaker of repute, and at
noon a free old-fashioned barbecue
will be served.
Mr.. A. j. Hill, president of the
base ball team, has promised to put
on a big game, maybe double-head-
er, for the afternoon.
Dawson will be in holiday attire,
and she wants all her county friends
in to help enjoy the day.
The movement has been lnaugu-
rated by the woman's civic and patrl-
otto organizations of the city. They
will push the work, but viii have to
call on the men to show up with the
pigs for the barbecue. As yet only
one man has been approached, and he
very readily responded with the
promise of one pig, but the commit
tee will need a great many more.
Let everybody rally round the flag
and let her float over happy-hearted
people as we meet to celebrate the
anniversary of the signing of that
great paper which gave to the world
our own United States.
