Then he drew back his arm and care

and then, bending low, it whizzed from
his hand. ~
Lark screamed, and CAROL sank faint

Starr himself stood swaying. Then he
rushed across the lawn. For Prudence
had opened the front door and stepped
ouickly ont on the wink nv the CORNER
of the house. The heavy ball struck
her ON the forehead and she fell heav-

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
1915 yearbook of the department, DR..
X. F. KeIlerman points out that the
inspection and eradication work which
has been In progress for the last two
years, while expensive In itself, has
yielded encouraging results. and that
this disease Is so serious q menace
that the cost of combating 1t 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 1t than are
required by any other plant disease.
Not only are infected trees destroyed
by burning. but 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-
CURED to wear 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.

Temperance.

Conducted by the National Woman's
SENTIMENT IN RUSSIA.
Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Unlon.)

The Petrograd correspondent of the
Neue Zurlcher Zeitung, in q survey of
the two years sobriety in Russia,
quotes representative of the duma as
saying that "the very thought of the
fearful consequences on the battlefield
and in the country itself of continue
ton of the alcohol regime makes every
patriot shudder." The writer con-
tinues: "We are, therefore, more than
overjoyed to know that 1t has been
statistically proved that the daily pro-
ducing capacity Of the workingman,
since the PRONUNCIATION of that message
OF salvation, has been increased by 15
per cent, and that Monday. the day
when millions of muzhik (farmers)
were found In the cutters, has become a
normal work day In Russia. But not
only the mir (village community felt
the consequences; the life also In the
city was as IL of a sudden transformed.
How quickly the population grasped
the prospective benefits of the great re-
form Is best shown by the fact that
when 1t became known that the inn
perial ukase, in order to become legally
valid, would need the express consent
of the majority. of the mfrs, only an ex-
ceedingly low percentage refused the
Endorsement.
Nobody has so quickly and COM
pletely grasped the import of the social
revolution as woman, the greatest suf-
ferer from the old alcohol curse. We
are, therefore, not astonished to learn
that as soon as the saloons were def
nitely closed the peasant women
marched to the churches In Indian file
to burn a candle. each, thanking the
Lord for the great delivery.
"When last spring the question Of
repermitting the sale of beer and red
wine came up in the duma, Tarasov. a
farmer-deputy, exclaimed: If the wom-
en- would hear you they would pull
you down from this platform"

TO MEMORABLE CONGRESS.

Speaking at meeting OF the DRY
Chicago federation concerning the me-
mortal to congress in behalf Of nation
al prohibition, Ex-Governor Foss of
Massachusetts said: 1.-THE memorial Is
cast in very. radical terms. but 1t has
won the support Of most persons of
great Importance in the most conserva-
tive circles and In all walks Of life.
Professors of Harvard, Yale, Columbia,
Princeton, heads of great railroad cor
porations. presidents of banks and
leaders In the Industrial and CONNER
cial world. as well as scientists and
'alienists,' have signed this document.
We think that both congress and the
country will be astonished at the char
acter of the signatures when they are
published"

YORK HOTEL MANS VIEW.

Mfr. Frank Case, for IA years pro-
prietor, of, the Algonquin hotel. New
York city, has closed his bar to stay
closed. The fact Is chronicled by the
New York Times. Being asked "why"
by group of astonished friends to
whom he made the announcement, Mr..
Case. pointed to small boy crossing
the hotel lobby with bunch of school
books under his arm. "There's one
reason right there" he said. "That
.youngster is my own son, just coming
home from, school. i have decided that
l don't want to pay his school bills and
the other costs of bringing him up on
the profits from booze. I guess that's
my chief reason, but there are others.

nCurculio mny be controlled by

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
calyxes are first shed from the bios
SONS. In about three weeks second
application should be made. If 1t Is
necessary to spray for brown rot the
lead arsenate should be mixed with
each go gallons Of the self-boiIed lime

If one has only few trees and does
not want to provide spraying equip
ment. the curculio may be Jared from
the trees in the early morning when
they are sluggish. Spread. a sheet be-
meath the tree and strike the trunk
with padded mallet. The insects can
be collected from the sheet and trans
ferred to a dish of Kerosene.

Only very small proportion of the
orchards In the South have been in
fected, and those in Arizona and Cali
fornia have escaped completely. De-
spite the contagiousness 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 bis
men visit other groves. Whenever pos
sible, he should send for state sp~
ciallst to ascertain definitely whether
the trouble is or is not canker. If no
specialist is available, a few infected
leaves may be picked up, wrapped in
paper. sealed in 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 In disin-
fectant solution after picking these
leaves.
In majority of cases the disease at
fects first the leaves. 1t causes red

SOCIETY KILLS
PERSONALITY
Small Talk Causes One to Lose
Their Individuality After
Time
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

II don't know what to say at GER
tain times" writes Josie. Il have
taken books on etiquette In the hope
of obtainink enlightenment. but they
with buffers and maids which are not
my requirements. I'm the ordinary
girl who doesn't attend afternoon teas
or days at home, such as one hears of
and reads of in books. and so / can't
get that experience of small talk, so
very essential toward sociability. I'm
sure there are a number of girls who
are In the same position but who will
not admit 1t, and who, being egotis-
teal, will do and say the most awk-
ward things. For instance: The other
night l gave a little sweet sixteen
party for my sister and the part of the
hostess fell to me. The entrance to
our home Is a narrow hallway in the
apartment house. Do you wait for
your guest at the door? How do you
greet the unknown escort OF q girl you
know? How do you introduce them ?
How do you take leave of them ?
Finally, my greatest ambition is to
have personality. How can that be
acquired? l have an idea the one
good way to get it is to be going
about, meeting people and observing.
But 1 get invitations at rare intervals
and cannot always so for lack of es-
cort l think your reply to my letter
will benefit a great Ihany girls.%
First of all, word of encourage
ment to Josie: You have person
ality," as every line of your very in
dividual letter shows.
Personality lies within the nature
of its possessor. To go about in So
ciety is more likely to kill it than to
cultivate it. Personality consists in
being an individual rather than one
OF group or mob. The man or
woman who can graciously and grace
fully express his thoughts, and who
has the reading observing -and-reason-
ing-evolved thought to express, Is far
more interesting than the one who dis
cusses the dances and plays he has at
tended or the doings of his neigh
bors.
Good manners are nothing more or
less than the gracious way of doing
things. To be kind and tonsiderate
of others and to forget yourself almost
guarantees manner" of a sort su-
perlor to any manners hard and fast
set OF rules might offer YOU.

Lift your glad voices in triumph on

For Jesus hath risen. and man can

Vain were the terrors that gathered

And short the dominion of death

Glory to God. in full anthems of JOY!
The being He gave us death can
not destroy!
Sad were the life We must part with

If tears were our birthright and
death were our end;
But Jesus hath cheered the dark val

1t is always Easter on Gods side
of the grave.
Since the first Easter, there is no
real reason for fearing Death. He is
only the slave that opens the door to
the Kings presence. Surely we need
not fear for the coming of the Mas
ters servant, when he is sent with
summons from the loving Master him
self.
Easter is best kept by a rising from
some dead past into newness of life.
The Christian religion is pitched on
an ascending scale. 1t begins with
an emancipation, and it ends with an
ascension. The path of the just shines
more and more to the perfect day: the
day that is refulgent with the seen
presence of the Sun of Righteousness.
