Early Attacks Will ROut Hessian
Fly.

Advanced columns of the Hes
sian fly have emerged from the
old unplowed wheat stubble
fields, and they are now laying
eggs on volunteer and early
sown wheat for a new genera
ton of flies.
In communities where nearly
all the farmers destroyed the in
tested wheat stubble by blowing
it under during July and Au-
gust, the ranks of the Hessian
fly have been so weakened and
depleted that the pest is not
numerous enough to do any ma
terial damage.
The wheat growers expect to
deal the fly a decisive blow by
starving him to death or wait
ing until the fy-free date to SOW
their wheat. If the enemy can
be kept from going into winter
quarters in early sown wheat, a
victory and a wheat crop for
the farmer are assured T. j,

How Catarrah Is Contracted.

Mothers are sometimes so
thoughtless as to neglect the
colds which their children con-
tract. The Inflammation of the
mucus MEMBRANE, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrah, a dis
ease that is seldom cured and
that may prove a life's burden.
Many persons who have this
loathsome disease will remember
having had frequent colds at the
time it was contracted. A little
forethought, a bottle of Cham
verlain's Cough Remedy judic-
iously used, and all this trouble
might have been avoided. OBJ

IMPORTANT WEST INDIAN PORT.

The Island of St. Thomas, which in the
DAYS of sail vessels was a natura! ship
centre in the West Indies and between
North and South America, has the larg-
est, safest and most accessible natural
harbor in that section of the globe. This
island, which has been under Danish rule
since 1871, Is coaling station, and the in
habitants are composed mostly OF de-
scendants of negro slaves, many OF whom
are employed in the cultivation of sugar
cane. St. Thomas, it is expected, will
profit greatly by the Panama Canal, as
the distance from Europe via that island
to the canal is shorter than that via any
other port in the West Indies. The
island is also fortunate in being located
about midway between the principal
European and West American ports.
New harbor works to take advantage of
the trade via the canal were begun IN
1918 and completed year ago at an out
lay of 1000, 900.
The depth of water at the entrance to
the harbor has been increased to 81 feet
and wharf has been constructed about
5000 feet long with a depth of over 81
feet alongside. All modern appliances
for bunkering steamers are installed. A
large stock of American and British coal
is kept on hand. St. Thomas is also
practically a free port as no harbor or
light dues are demanded, while stores
and provisions can be procured at cheap
rates. A large stock of oil fuel for use In
steamers is also constantly kept on hand.

HYGIENE OF OLD AGE.

At the recent annual encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic the
surgeon general of the great association
of veterans offered some general advice
in regard to the health of men who have
reached 70 or more. He gave three SIM
pie rules for the preservation OF good
physical condition as old age comes on.
They are: Avoid excessive use of foods,
excessive use of stlmulants and excessive
active or violent exercise. These safe
guards are widely applicable, and are so
terse that they are easily remembered.
The statistics of the Grand Army are
carefully kept, and form valuable cri-
terion on this subject At the beginning
Of 1915 the membership was 159, S63
Deaths during the year numbered II ,S56,
a little over 7 per cent. In the general
pension list the deaths are more than 100
day, but the pensioners include soldiers
widows, and survivors of all the wars of
the United States. Only few are left
swho served in the Mexican war that
ended in 1913. Eight or ten soldiers of
the revolutionary war and the war OF
1872 lived to be more than 100 years old,
and possibly thirty or forty who were in
the civil war will live to be centenarians.
:, 1t is probable that the rate of mortality
among the veterans is higher than the
general average. They went through
irving ordeal in camps and bivouacs, as
we'll as in battle. On occasion they made
long marches, slept on the roads and in
fields and at times rations were scant.
The deaths from disease outnumbered
those from bullets. Over 2, 500, 600 men
were enlisted in the Union forces. At
the latest report the membership of the
Grand Army had declined to 149, OLA. 1t
embraces nearly all survivors who were
in the service of the United States be-
tween 1861 and 1865. The surgeon gen.
eral gives good counsel on the best way
to maintain good health to men of three
score and ten. His recommendations are
valuable to men of any age. Avoid ex-
cess of any kind, is the tenor of his adj
vice. The beat rules of hygiene are not
complicated. If all individuals observed
them health reports would quickly take
more favorable turn. The injunction
not to use food excessively is the one
most needed. Conservation of the Vita
forces is evidently the best method OF
living long and comfortably. To say sc
may be a truism, but it is not one OF the
self evident facts that require no repetl-
ton.
Many important battles have occurred
in which the combatants were fewer thar
the deaths in the Grand Army last year

NOTABLE SPEAKING TOUR.
Mr.. Hughes Travelled $4,000 Miles in 80
Days and Made l41 Speeches.

NEW YORK, Sept. ID. Chas. E.
paign trip here Tuesday. He reached
hotel, and later will depart for his sum-
mer home at Bridgehampton. The trip
was one of the longest, in time and
mileage, ever taken by a presidential
nominee. Mr.. Hughes left here on the
night of Aug. 9Th and travelled 80 days.
His itinerary took him from Portland,
Maine, to San Diego, CAL, from Canada
to within sight of the Mexican border.
He visited 25 States, spoke at all the
chief centers of population in the coun-
try, exclusive of the south, and includ-
ing the capitals of ten States, and trav-
eled 10, miles by railroad. In addi-
ton he averaged more than 400 miles
week by motor or about $500 miles,
making the total mileage of his trip ap-
proxlmately 1000 miles.
His trip was made over Is railroad
systems. Since his departure from
New York, Mr.. Hughes has undergone
almost every sort of experience that
usually befalls a candidate and many
out of the ordinary. He donned min
er's togs at Butte and went 5000 feet
down into the earth, climbed mountains
more than $4,000 feet high and attended
State and county fairs and national
exposition. He made al speeches and
was photographed thousands of times.
Mr.. Hughes reached New York in
good health and spirits. He will rest
four days at Bridgehampton and then
will start on trip that will last, with
only one break of two days, until cleo
ton day.
