THE BIRTH OF CHRIST.

One night the Heavens lent to Earth
The watching shepherds on the hills
All marveled at the sight.
From on high an angel spoke
And, most clearly. said:
o-n1g the Prince OF Peace is borr
With no pillow meath His head"
For He will come to Earth a babe,
And In n manager born,
Where Thine. the Prince OF Peace
shall lie
Awaiting for the morn!
Amidst the radiant sky appeared
The heavenly host. which sang:
Praises to the Lord on high,
Peace, good will to men,"

Thousands Have Discovered DIR
Edwards Olive Tablets are

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination no;

calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth Ike strong liquids or caIomeI
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
It the expense of the teeth? CaIomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not tc
axe calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that

DROWN CR|CKETS
WARNING GIVEN
COTTON GROWERS ARE WARNED
OF DESTRUCTIVE PESTS.
WATCH YOUR FIELDS
'CUTWORMS AND CRICkETS AT
TACK YOUNG COTTON NOW.
Damage Done at Night, So Destructive
Insects Should Be Drowned or
Burned in Sun Methods Given.

The season of the year has arrived
when serious injury to young cotton
frequently results from the attacks of
crickets, cutworms, etc. Owing to the
small size of the plant and to its
tender nature at this season, the work
OF the pests is much more disastrous
to the crop than is the case when
the plants have become larger.
At this time last year many COM
plants were being received by the
government entomologist concerning
the destructive nature of crickets in
fields of young cotton. in some cases
it was necessary to replant 40 and
60-acre fields as many as two and
three times, and even then there We're
several failures to obtain satisfactory
stands. 1t is only before the cotton
reaches height of six or eight inches
that damage by crickets occurs.
The cricket is a night-feeding pest
and remains hidden in the soil cracks
nuring the day. 1t is clear, then, that
anything which works to eliminate the
conditions which are favorable to the
crickets is sure to be beneficial to the
cotton crop. The proper wetting OF
the land together with careful cultl-
vation of the soil results in the seal
ing up of the land cracks which har-
Dor the disastrous pest.
Planters should maintain careful
watch of their fields in order to de-
tect the first threatening appearance
Of the crickets. If at the time of the
discovery of the pest it so happens
that an irrigation is about needed, the
planter should apply the water as soon
as convenient. This drives the ma
jority of the crickets out of their hid
ing places and many are consequently
destroyed both by drowning and
through the intense heat of the day
sun, to which they are not accustomed.
As soon as it is possible to do so, fol-
lowing the irrigation, the soil should
be put in a perfect state of cultiva-
tion-and kept so.
E. A. McGregor of the United States
Bureau of Entomology, whose postof-
flee box is 597, is very anxious to
r -N4 ,,,.,
far as time permits.
Planters are urged to maintain a
constant surveillance of their fields
and to get in touch with Mr.. Nc
Gregor at the arliest possible date.
He will gladly visit all injured fields
and will attempt to diagnose and rec
ommend remedial measures in these
cases.
