numular1a, begin to be shed early in
May. They may be spattered over the
trees causing infection. especially
through wounds, on until the close Of
the growing season.
In spraying for other diseases the en-
tire tree ought to be covered well with
the spray in orchards where canker
persists. in order to keep the tree COW
cred with film OF spray to lessen the
danger Of Infection. from canker spores
which may be produced from canker
infections on the cree.
We have been very. successful in
eliminating the canker. We remove
badly diseased or cankered limbs, cut
ting. close to the tree SO as to leave no
knot. Cankered areas are scraped
clean so as to give a smooth surface,
the wound being cleaned to a rim Of
healthy tissue surrounding 1t. We cut
or inches above and below large
wounds. but only one-Quarter inch be-
yond the diseased area laterally at the
sides of the wound, since canker
travels up and down faster than 1t
does laterally.
We attempt to shape the upper and
lower areas of the wound in q sharp
angle SO the elaborated plant food in
coming down will induce a good grow
ing layer from a sharp angle instead of
against a broad horizontal surface.
These canker wounds or all wounds
made in pruning are disinfected with
corrosive sublimate solution and I'M
mediately painted with white lead and
oil paint White paint is better than
dark because 1t reflects rather than alb
serbs heat. This is especially important
on the sunny side Of the tree in hot
weather. The additional heat OBJ
tanned from absorption of the suns
rays by black paint heats up and dries
out the wood making re-infection more
likely to occur.
In pruning in orchards where there is
canller we disinfect the saw frequently
so as not to carry the infection from
cankered area to n healthy limb that IS
being removed. Recently we are ind
ing that we can do away with disin-
fecting with the separate bichloride
solution by getting the disinfectant
into the paint. To quart OF paint we
dissolve a teaspoonful of bichloride OF
mercury in turpentine, enough to dis
solve it. which is about one ounce
This turpentine blends well with the
paint, disseminating the diFinfectant In
the paint. This avoids the former
practice of painting onto a wet, recent
,ly disinfected wound. After the paint
dries a few weeks and begins to check
a second coat of the paint is necessary
to prevent re-infection
We have tried great many dlsln-
fectants and bichloride Of mercury has
proven equal to any, superior to most
of them and the cheapest and most
readily blended with the paint When
dissolved with turpentine. formaiin

perience goes.

Decision in Pawlin VS.. Ed.
wards Manufacturing Co.

A decision has been rendered by the
Maine Industrial Accident Commission
in the case of Illnat Pawlin. alias
Charles Polaski, applicant, vs. Edwards
Manufacturing Co. Augusta. employer,
and American Mutual Liability Insur-
ance Co. insurer, ordering that COM
pensation of s4.52 per week be paid for
a period Of 80 weeks from June Il.
1916, and that medical bills be paid not
exceeding $50 in amount as provided in
Section 10 of Chapter SO Of the Revised
Statutes.
The injury to the claimant was the
cutting off of two middle fingers Of
right hand one-half inch from hand.
Little finger was crushed to middle
joint and amputated. The agreed state
nent says that the complainant at the
time of the injury was working five
nights perweek at six hours per night
and receiving 50 per week; for the 81
weeks, or one year. previous to the in
jury. or disability. he worked 81 weeks
at $3.50 per week; II weeks at 1926 per
week and four weeks at 50 per week.
and that makes the average daily pay,
reckoning six days per week. $l.3645.
The agreed statement figures six
days per week but the commission
holds that the words Of the law during
the days when so employed" must ne
cessarily mean the days when the en-
ployee actually worked and the agree
ment Submitted states that he worked
five nights which must necessarily
equal five days in all cmployments.
Says the commission. the average
weekly wage for the year preceding the
injury being S7.S6, the average daily
wage during the days when so en-
ployed" must be one-fifth of this
amount or S1.57 as he only worked five
days. Following the statute and mrIl-
tiplying s1.57 by 300 and dividing by
SO, the average weekly wage, figures &
$9.o6. one-half of which amount would
entitle this petitioner to a weekly com
pensation of $4.52
''The second, third and fourth fingers
OF the right hand We're arputated be

entities this employee to weekly com
pensation for So weeks.

URIC ACID
An Enemy In Ambush

iBy Dr. VI. g. Lucas
1t was not until the discovery by Sir
Arthur Garrod In ls4S, that the blood OF
equity patients contained uric acid In al
excessively large amount, that much at
tention was paid to this subject Later
scientific men learned that in govt (also
true In rheumatism,) the AdnAys do not
work properly to throw off the uric acid
poison consequently uric acid crystals
are deposited in and about the joints.
where an Inflammation Is set up In tho
nearby tissues. When for any reason the
circulation is sluggish. as In the joints OF
the toes, crystals formed from uric acid
are deposited there. and one suffers from
govt; or. when deposited in the Tissues.
one suffers from muscular rheumatism
or art!cuiar rheumatism. My only medi-
cine to counteract the uric acid and
throw 1t out of the system Is tablets Of
Anuric double strength). three times
day.
The pain in the back. Iumbago pain In
the neck. creaky Joints. stiffness in
muscles. have all been proven to be
caused by uric acid poison in the blood
and tissues. The kidneys soon become
diseased, then there often follows disease
in tho muscles of the heart.
Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage OF our people. What Is TO be
done? What can the ordinary person do
to properly balance bodily health? The
answer Is easy. Eat less meat eat
coarse. plain food. with plenty OF vsgeta.
bles. drink plenty Of water between
meals. and take an uric acid solvent before
meals for awhile. such as Anuric double
strength). obtained at almost any drug
store. 1t was first discovered by pT
Pierce fthe Surgical Institute IN Buff
fslo. y. Y. Most every one troubled
with uric acid finds that Anurlc dissoves
the uric acid as hot water will dissolve

INOPPORTUNE NOW

The picture "Civilization" is inter-
esting but it breaches an impracti-
cal sermon at present. 1t is also
one sided-there is a king but no
kaiser yet everyone knows Iwho is
responsible for the butchery- very
unfair to the allies. 1t is alright not
to want war but where would the
allies be today if they had folded
their handssand cried for sweet
peace. The foe has no heart much
less a principle. Self preservation
will be the law as long as the world
stands. The picture should not be
shown at this time-for the bad eff
ect it may have. when the remedy
cannot be supplied to cure the ter
rible diseaee spread by the kaiser.

DOINGS OF THE CITY
COUNCIL.

At Tuesday evenings session the
matter of fixing the light and water
rates received attention The light
rate as changed calls for "a rate of
7c per kwt under 200 kwt; &c from
200 to 500 kwt and Sc over 500
kwt. The water rate was not changed
but the graduation rate was.
The kirmess or city fair project
was endorsed and the vacant city
lot on North Main was tendere1 for
such use as may seem fit.
The matter of electrifying the line
to the city pumping station was dis
cussed. At an expenditure of $4,000
to $4,000 this could be done. A new
pump is badly needed now. At the
high price of coal it is believed that
a big saving can be effected by US
ing electricity instead of steam.
