FIRE BLIGHT HURTS
MANY FRUIT TREES
Disease Attacks Pear as Well as
Apple and Quince-Prun-
ing Is Only Remedy.

in recent years disease has been
spreading through the apple orchards
of Missouri, killing much of the newly
set fruit and many ofthe young grow
Ing shoots of the trees. This disease
Is fire blight. 1t attacks the pear as
well as the apple and ounce. 1t de-
velops to serious degree almost ev.
cry year in pears. 1t rarely causes as
much injury in apples as it did last
year. 1t is caused by bacterial para
site which develops in the growing lay
er of the tree caused by a bacterial
parasite which develops in the growing
layer Of the tree causing the tissues
to die during spring and early summer.
There is no other known preventive
than cutting out and burning the
blighted parts, according to J. c. Whit
ten Of the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture.
The best time to cut out blight is in
late winter or early spring just before
the blOsSOming season. 1t winters
over mostly in pears though occasion
ally in few apples like Jonathan and
Yellow Transparent While in June
the blight shows in millions of the
blighted places on the twigs, it will
winter over only in few places in the
trunk, main limbs or occasionally in
the twigs. In early spring these Win
ter pockets of blight may be seen in
blistered areas on the bark which give
off honeylike ,exudations. Insects feed
on these honeylike masses. These
honeylike masses are full of germs of
the disease which are carried by the
Insects to the blossoms and growing

free the blood from noxiOus elements,
we must pay special attention to a
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys In good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength. which
will help flush the kidneys and the In
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than lithia

Cd Unless you have some reason to
believe that one of them is intend
ing to call you up for a date you
should allow the first one who calls
the privilege of coming to see you.
Sometimes 1t is understood that more
than one boy will call on a girl; when
you wish to have more than one, say
to the first one that you expect an
other friend and that if he doesn t
mind, you will let them both come ;
then tell the second one who calls that
you have made a date with the first
one, but that he also may come if he
wishes. There are girls who are clever
enough to entertain more than one boy
at a time, and you seem to be one of
this type.

have to face nowadays, and you must
be brave and not become discouraged.
Why don't you try to secure a position

could get work for part Of the day, or
get mending and such work that you
could take home with you. If you have
friends who are employed or who en-
ploy women, why not ask them II they
know Of work to do. In these times Of
war and enforced economy, many
women feel that they can make them
selves useful. Wives of enlisted men
have to work and many others who
never worked before. Working for
living is no disgrace, and you will
be happier when you feel yourself
partly self-supporting at least, and you
will be well paid for the work you do.
