CULTIVATE TO KILL INSECTS
Wormy Raspberries Are Not Necessary
EviI-Many Can Be Destroyed
by Exposing to Enemies.

Wormy raspberries, still fresh In
the minds of the pickers, are fortu7
nately not a necessary evil. Berries
which are infested with raspberry
fruit worms cannot be shipped any
distance. They make the box insight
ly, soon fall apart, and require unnec-
essary work of the housewife.
During the picking season and i'm
mediately after the seasons close the
worms drop to the ground, where,
after about six weeks, they change to
a helpless. delicate pupa. In the spring
they transform to small, adult, brown
ish beetles about one-seventh of an
inch long. Being hungry, they imme-
diately chew elongated holes in the
young, tender leaves, and later make
holes in the buds. Often from 10 to
Is per cent of the buds may be de-
stroyed in this manner.
Since the insects are helpless In the
ground, cultivation in the late fall
and early spring will kill many OF
them or expose them to their enemies.
They can be killed also by spraying
with four pounds of lead arsenate
paste to so gallons of water about the
first or second week in May, when the
young plants are about six inches high.
1t is important to have all neglected
wild bushes destroyed, for these serve
as breeding grounds.

Ra. Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact
that the mosquito was the carrier of
yellow fever" writes T.. w. Nelson In
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another type Of mosquito is known
to be the carrier of malaria. The Eu-
ropean war has brought to almost uni
versal public knowledge the fact that
body lice are carriers of the deadly
typhus and many diseases are known
to be carried by other insects.
Among these deadly carriers Of
death and destruction none equals the
house rat i'm its tremendous drain on
the prosperity of nations by its de-
struction Of food and other property,
while at the same time it is the dead
lest of all to mankind as a disease
cahhier. Within historic times il has
caused the death of untold millions
of human beings through It's dessemi'
nation of the bubonic plague.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
will apply on the corn a few drops Of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger Of infection.
This new drug Is an ether compound,
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not inflame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get a small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Variety of Time in Honolulu.

LIME FOR G00sEBERRY WORM
lt Is Not Available to Use Poison to
Exterminate lnsects-Lime Good
for Bushes.

If worms are bothering your goose
berry or currant bushes, do not use
poisons to exterminate them. Some
morning when the dew is on, go over
the bushes with air-slaked lime and
the worms will be most effectively
got rid Of. There is not the danger
of poisoning from the use of lime as
there is from the use of paris green
and london purple. The lime Is good
for the bushes as well as sure rem
edy for the worms, says one man.
