Failed.

The doctor walked slowly upstairs.
The little boys illness was not yield
Ing to treatment as he would have
wished. He had been doing all that
medlcine would do for the boy, but
the delay In calling him had given the
sickness such start that he had made
little progress in checking it, So he
went upstairs with heavy heart
Jimmie smiled as the young doctor
came into his room. Jimmie was the
smiling kind, though he had found it
hard to be cheerful.
The doctor had many other calls to
make, and he left soon with the prom
ise TO call again that night. When he
came again the little patient was
worse, though he probably did not
realize 1t. The doctor took his pulse
ana MS temperature and asked the
usual questions of his mother. Then
he did highly unethical thing. But
he understood boys and especially the
one before him.

going to fight hard to get you well.

boy smiled; the dOctC- had touched
the right chord. Nobody but you and

neither can sister or brother or father.
L am going to come to see you twice
day. We have got to get you in
good shape so that you will be all
ready to 90 camping this summer with
the rest of the boys.
You remember that little redeye
Mole down by those willows where 1

past there last week and it looks to
me like 1t is going to be better than
ever. A big log has floated down there
and you can sit on it i'm the shade of
the willows and never get a bit hot,
even in July. But before you 20 fish
Ing you will have to get well. 1 think
we can have you out of bed in two
weeks"
The little chap In the bed looked
hard at the doctor. He was only ten
years old, and 1t is hard for ten-year-
old boys to lie in bed. He had seen
the doctor swim across a wide, swift
river, he knew the doctor could lift
MIN with two fingers; he knew the
doctor liked little boys and liked to
help them all he could. In his boy
mind the doctor was hero. "Yes, sir

getting about medicine, plunged into
another story Of next summer. He
talked for almost an hour to the boy.

new light in the young eyes.

Leaf T~s Grapefruit Showing Citrus canker Infections

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultural
Citrus canker can be completely
eradicated from this country if ener-
getic work is continued for sufficient
length Of time. In an article in the
1916 yearbook of the department. DIR.
X. F. Kellerman points out that the
inspection and eradication work which
has been i'm progress for the last two
years, while expensive in itself. has
yielded encouraging results, and that
this disease is so serious a menace
that the cost of combating it is small
In proportion TO the value of the prop
erty to be saved.
Citrus canker Is described by Doctor
kellerman as the most contagious of
all known plant diseases and the most
destructive of commercial values.
More drastic precautions have been
found necessary in fighting it than are
required by any other plant disease.
Not only are infected trees destroyed
by burningx-t the ground under the
tree is sprayed with formalin solu-
ton. and 1t is also advisable to do this
with apparently healthy trees in the
neighborhOOd of those infected. The
inspectors who do this work are re-
quired to wear a costume which can
be thoroughly disinfected before and
after visiting each, citrus orchard. All
the apparatus taken into citrus groves,
such as oil cans and pumps, must also
be disinfected.
Work of this character is now being
carried on comparatively by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
and the states Of Alabama, Texas,
Louisiana. Mississippi and Florida.

Days.

Days are said to resemble the hairs
OF our heads to the extent of being
numbered. The only other resem.
blance is that they get sticky in hot
weather. Days are still within the
reach of all and no costlier than here.
tOfore, but big nights always did come
high. The present day is the only one
OF any real use. but as We look about
us we see that it is the least valued.
This proves that humans are somehow
superior creatures to the brutes. The
weather is the garment of the day and
most of us take neat dresser. But
days are something like people and
occasionally one whose personal ap-
pearance might be improved is yet
able to make us happy.-Detroit Jour
nal.

CurculiO may be controlled by
spraying. Mix two pounds Of lead
arsenate paste in 80 gallons of water.
Add to this the milk obtained from
two pounds Of fresh lime. The first
application should be made when the

SONS. In about three weeks a second
application should be made. II II is

Only very small proportion of the
orchards in the South have been in
fected, and those i'm Arizona and Cali
fornia have escaped completely. De-
spite the cOntag iouSness Of the dis
ease, infected orchards can frequently
be cleansed without the loss of very
,many trees. 1t is essential, however,
that eradication work should begin
Immediately after the discovery of the
Infection. Any owner who has reason
to suspect that canker exists in his
groves should close them to all visitors
and should see that neither he nor his
men visit other groves. Whenever pos
sible. he should send for state spe-
cialiSt to ascertain definitely whether
the trouble is or is not canker. II no
specialist is available, Q few infected
leaves may he picked up, wrapped in
paper, sealed i'm heavy envelope, and
forwarded either to the state author
tiles or to the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The owner should
thoroughly wash his hands i'm tisin-
fectant solution after picking these
leaves.
In majority of cases the disease af-
fects first the leaves. 1t causes red
dish brown spots raised slightly above
the level of the healthy surface and
frequently surrounded by q rather in
distinct. narrow, yellOwish zone. Be
fore breaking through the leaf surface,
the cankers are smooth and almost
waxy, but afterwards have a corky ap-
pearance. Illustrations accompany
the article in the yearbook already
in order to assist owners
in detecting the presence of the infec-
ton.

coat of arms, but really has nothing

Overheated Air.

A rise of temperature in the sur
rounding air diminishes the amount Of
oxygen consumed and the amount of
dioxlde discharged. A fall Of temper
ature has the opposite effect. In ad-
dition, the overheated air forms a hot
jacket around tie body which prevents
the radiation Of heat necessary to keep
the body in healthy condition. With
a sedentary occupation a temperature
of from "a to 70 should be maintained
