This mixture is made by taking 50 pounds of bran and mixing with it either one pound of paris green or two pounds of powdered lead arsenate, to which is added two gallons of low-grade molas- ses and six finely chopped lemons This is especially recommended for fields containing mixtures of grass and cowpeas, cowpeas and sorghum, ol fields in which grass has been con. sumed by the caterpillars.
 Caution: Do not pasture stock in fields where the grass or other crops have been sprayed with poison mix ture until after heavy rains have fallen and not before three weeks after the application of the insecticides.

EMBASSY OFFICIALS
MAY GIVE TESTIMONY
German Diplomats Ready to Prosecute
Alleged Blackmailer.

There were three important develop
ments today In the case of Karl Arm
gard Graves. who was arrested here by
officials of the Department Of Justice up
on representations that he sought to
blackmail the Countess Won Bernstorff,
wife Of the German Ambassador. They
were:
The Department Of Justice announced
that 1t had made no request of the Ger
man Embassy for assistance In prosecut-
ing the case.
On1cials Of the Embassy declared that
the case is entirely in the hands Of the
Department Of Justice, but that II It be-
comes necessary for oficials to appear
they will waive diplomatic privileges and
testify.
The charge made by Graves that the
Ambassador had made millions by stock
exchange purchases based upon informa-
ton contained in the letters which were
in Graves possession was ridiculed by Of:
ficials of the Embassy, and it was stated
that the only reference in the letters to
stocks was in regard to some stocks
which the Countess had sold
"The Embassy has no further interests
IN the prosecution of Graves" said a high
to leave the entire matter to the Depart
ment of Justice. "As We view it. Graves
was caught red-handed in attempted
blackmail. and the Department Of JUS
tice can proceed against him according to
law
At the Department OF Justice It was
announced that the government will pre-
sent the entire case against Graves at
the hearing next Wednesday and ask
that he be held to the Grand Jury, unless
Graves should waive the hearing and con-
sent to this disposition of the case with
out testimony. The officials are proceed
ing in the ordinary manner, and except
for the persons involved the case is be-
ing treated as though it had no inter-
national significance.
The officials of the Embassy are deeply
concerned over the method by which the
letter came into Graves possession. The
packet. after being officially sealed by
the German foreign office IS supposed to
have started on the way to the United
States about the middle Of September. 1t
is the belief of the Embassy that the
messenger was bribed to deliver the
packet into the hands of persons from
whom Graves obtained the letters.

The Drinking ofW ater

CBy NJ. c. LUCAS, M. D.
The general conclusions of the latest
medical scientists proves that drinking
of plenty of pure water both between
meals and with ones meals is bene-
fetal to health. 1t has also been proven
by means of the X-rays and actual tests
upon many healthy young men that the
drinking of water 1rith meals IS not
harmful to digestion. Those suffering
from a catarrhal condition of the stom-
ach will find benefit in adding about 10
grains (one-sixth of a level teaspoon
full of baking-soda to pint of hot
water, drinking it a half hour before
each meal. Such as are inclined to
hyper-acidity should drink a pint OF
medium cold water, two hours after
meals. If you ever suffer from head
ache, lumbago, rheumatism or any OF
the symptoms of kidney trouble-such
as deep colored urine, sediment IN
urine, getting out of bed at night ire
quently and other troublesome effects,

the Severe Pains.

Many headaches are Of q neuraIgie

aches are intense and lingering pains
In the brow, temples or back of the

years back, Sloan's Liniment. One
application and the dull pain II practi-
cally gone. II II easily applied without
rubbing. Rubbing II unnecessary, as

ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN.

Mr.. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody, but has merely portrayed
the errors Of the present AdminiStra-
ton and set forth certain principles
on which the affairs of the country
should be managed in the future.
There is a political logic in this pOr-
trayal, the elimination of which in the
mind of the voter Is expressed by the
frequent remark:
''1e is the kind of man we want to
steer us through"
This has been said by many a busi
ness man. The qualities seen in Mr..
Hughes are poise, a strong. sane mind
sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice
life, physical or political, to the good
of the country. Nor is there any queS-
ton as to the quality Of nerve to meet
the emergencies of the four years be
ginning March 4, 1917.
