HOW TO GET RID OF
CHRONIC DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get perman-
emily rid Of dandruff is to romove
the conditions that cause it and then
keep the hair and scalp in a clean
healthy, vigorous state so dandrujf
will never return. This beats cham
poos, which merely remove the dand-
ruff for a few days at most. Wells
Haymaker Company are now strong
lly recommending Partisan Sage, a
harmless, inexpensive and quick act
ing preparation, that is guaranteed
to act directly on the cause of dand-
ruff and entirely remove it or the
purchase will be cheerfully refund
ed.
Here is test no one should fail
to try. Get from your druggist Il
package Of Partisan Sage. Rub a
little Of 1t into the scalp with the
finger tips and see for yourself how
the dandruff disappears, the hair
stops falling out and all itching i'm
medlately ceases. Nothing hurts the
hair more than dandruff, so why
not begin using Partisan Sage today
and be forever rid Of it?-Advertise-
ment.

The final objection to the military

present form, comes in the fact that
the islands are by no means able to
Withstand d siege of any great length,

ammunition Of any kind and are not
even self-supporting as regards food.

ID the outside Of It's body. As these
parasites are mostly in evidence in
September and October and largely
destroy the last generation Of cater
pillars, it is unwlse at these times,
especially OF the white cocoons are
visible, to kill the caterpillars by
other means. Where beneficial para
sites are in evidence and caterpil-
lars can be easily gathered, It may
nay to pick them from the leaves
and transfer them to barrels Or large
boxes covered with wire netting. This
will prevent the caterpillars from get
ting out or falling a prey to birds
or other animals and will insure the
issuance OF the parasites through the
meshes A few holes, small enough
to prevent the caterpillar from es-
Gaping, should be bored in the bot
tom of the barrels to prevent the ac-
emulation Of water which might
drown the insects or cause them to
putrefy.

CONTROL Of
CATERP|LLARS
IS DISCUSSED
So Serious Damage to CataIpa
Trees, Say Experts Of Fed
eraI Government.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. = While
our native species Of catalpa are COM
paratively free from insect attack,
owners Of these trees should watch
in the summer and even early fall
for the appearance on them Of large
yellow and black caterplllars. If these
feed voraciously on the leaves, they
are in all likelihood the Iarvate OF
the catalpa sphinx, which commonly
are the only ones which feed on catal-
pa foliage. Unless controlled when
present In large numbers, these cater
pillars may do considerably injury,
sometimes completely stripping the
leaves from an entire grove
This caterpillar may be, looked for
in any region where the catalpa
grows. 1t has done damage in all the
Coast States
from New Jersey to Alabama, and
has been noted in West Virginia,
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Arkansas Oklahoma and
Texas. The caterpillar however, or
dinarily does not appear in only 10
cality year after year. 1t may be un-
noticed for several years and then
suddenly will appear In large num-
bers and do considerable local dam
age.
The parent Of this caterpillar Is a
large, grayish-brown hawk moth,
with heavy body and powerful wings
measuring three inches from tip to
tip. This moth commonly lays It's
eggs in masses, often Of 1000 eggs,
on the under side of the leaves. Some
times the eggs are laid in smaller
masses on stems or branches. In the
extreme South there are as many as
three or four generations yeur. The
young caterpillars are lighter in col
or than the mature ones, being pale
yellow, and have a stout, black horn
near the hind end Of the body. The
prevailing colors of the older cater
pillars are yellow and black. and
there is a light form as well as a
dark one.
Hand Picking and Spraying.
Farmers Bulletin No. 705, "The
Catalpa Sphinx by L, o. Howard
and F. H, Chittenden, from which
this description is taken, suggests
several means Of controlling this
pest. When only a few small trees
are attacked the caterpillars can be
picked off by hand, their large size
making their detection easy. In the
case OF tall trees or where caterpll-
lars are very abundant and are at
lacking entire groves, the entomolo-
gists recommend spraying with ar
senicals, or better, with a combina-
ton of arsenicals and Bordeaux mix
ture. The proper arsenlcal spray
would DO made with either one
pound Of Paris green or three pounds
Of arsenate of lead to fifty gallons
of water When the combined spray
is used the same quantity Of arsenical
should be mixed with fifty gallons of
Bordeaux mixture instead Of the wat
err. The danger that free arsenic may
burn the foliage is lessened and the
Bordeaux mixture may control leaf
spot and other similar diseases which
affect the catalpa. The spray may
be applied with small outfit for
young trees or with large high
power machine such as is used in
spraying high trees along city ave-
nues.
Encourage Parasites.
The caterpillar is attacked by a
number Of parasites and the ento-
mologists advise tree owners to en-
