Don't Waste Dish Water;
Kill Plant Pests With It

when you notice small colo
niles of little light or dark green
eggs about one-half the size of a
pin head on your cabbage, toma-
toes or rose leaves prepare to
fight them" is the warning of
M. 0. Evans, supervisor of school
garden work.
These colonies will soon spread
over the whole leaf and many of
them Matching out into small
winged females move to other
plants and distribute the pest
widely"
These aphis (plant lice) prob
ably will give us serious trouble
this season as they multiply espe-
cially fast in damp, cloudy wealth
er. They attack particularly cab
bage, tomatoes and rose bushes.
Aphis are sucking insects and
should be sprayed with contact
poisons, preferably those contain
ing nicotine. OF these Black Leaf
40 is one of the best and most
highly concentrated nicotine prod
nets. 1t is on sale in small guam
titles at seed stores.
These aphis curl up the leaves
so that Ii is hard to reach them
with the spray unless great care
is exercised. AS these pests suck
out the plant juices the leaves

NAME YOUTHS
AS SLACKERS

Letters by the dozens are pour
ing into the sheriff's office daily,
informing him of names of youths
who it is claimed did not regis
ter. The letters are being filed,
and the names looked up on the
county registration list.
Half of the letters ! am re-
ceiving give the name. of some
young man who registered in
some other precinct. OF course
each letter is investigated, but
many of them are no good to me"
said Sheriff Longmire Wednesday.
A list of the men who regis
tered in each precinct is to be
sent to that precinct, and posted
in a conspicuous place. Long
mire thinks this will aid the au-
thorities in finding all men who
did not sign up.

Wants Market
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
We note an article in Mondays
Times In regard to the public
market, and statement from
Commissioner Atkins asking an
expression from farmers as to how
many would take advantage of a
municipal sales force for handling
their goods.
We have been watching the de-
velopment of this market since it
started, and for one l was just
looking or was contemplating
writing to see IL the market could
handle stuff shipped in.
l live too far from a marke
(36 miles, to drive in, except we
had an auto. So the poorer classes
which are compelled to put little
more muscle into this patriotic
food drive than the well-to-do
neighbors to keep up with other
higher prices, are at loss to dis
pose OF some of their stuff.
Many of us have shipped to
commission men and sometimes
we are asked for some change
yet to pay expenses after the
goods are sold.
For this reason much is actually
allowed to waste or is fed to hogs
which could be put on the market
at a profit If the little farmer
could see and feel sure that he
would be treated half way fair.
We have some nice garden stuff
here which will have to be shipped
either to Tacoma, Portland or Sc
attic, or some OF 1t lost.
Tacoma is the nearest, freight
and express little less, and with
10000 troops there we see no rea-
son why such market would not
meet the approval of Tacoma.
You need not look to the farmer
to get the market to running.
We have to begin shipping
soon, and once we get to send
ing elsewhere you may not get so
much.
Let us have the market.

urn a sickly yellow color and
wither.
Especially with cabbage where
only a few outer leaves are af-
fected the pest can be effectually
checked by tearing off the af-
fected leaves and destroying
them.
Other control measures are the
use of kerosene and whale oil
soap emulsions and ordinary dish
and clothes water. The I've in
soap aids materially in killing
these soft-bodied pests.
Never waste your dish and
clothes water during the
summer. Always pour it over
rose bushes or other plants
affected with plant lice.

URIC ACID
An Enemy in Ambush
(By DIR. M. c. LUCAS)

(3y DIR. M. c. LUCAS)
It was not until the discovery by
Sir Arthur Garrod, in 1S4S, that the
blood of gouty patients contained
uric acid in an excessively large
amount, that much attention was
paid to this subject. Later scientific
men learned that in gout (also true
in rheumatism), the kidneys 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 the nearby tissues. When
for any reason the circulation is slug
gish, as in the joints Of the toes,
crystals formed from uric acid are
deposited there, and one suffers from
gout; or, when deposited in the It's
sues, one suffers from muscular rheu-
matism. My only medicine to counter
act the uric acid and to throw it out
of the system is tablets Of Anuric
double strength three times a day.
The pain in the back, lumbago,
pain in the neck, creaky joints, stiff
ness 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 the muscles
of the heart.
Kidney disease carries away large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? What can the ordinary per-
son do to properly balance bodily
health? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with
plenty of vegetables, 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
DR.. Pierce of the Surgical Institute
in Buffalo, N. Y. Most every one
troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water will dissolve sugar.-Adv.

(By Staff Correspondent
Washington, June 29,-(Special
Telegram.)-The Japanese mission
shortly to arrive in this country will
pay a visit to Omaha on its trip to
the national capital.
This information was ascertained
today through a call on Third Assist
ant Secretary of State Breckenridge
Long, by Congressman Loebeck and
Commissioner Manley OF the Com
mercial club of Omaha.
While the decision of Secretary
Baker in regard to considering Fort
Crook or any other site in Nebraska
for a location of one Of the canton
ments in the Central west was dis
heartening the members of the Com
mercial club committee remaining in
Washington, decided to do what they
could toward obtaining numberless
activities for the city In which they
are enthusiastically interested and
which will be essential in a national
way in the next year or two.
Others Are Invited.
incidentally, Mr.. Manley, who is a
believer in pushing the city wherever
possible, and Congressman Lobeck
had a conference with Breckenridge
Long of the State department, at
which they gave him assurance that
if the Belgian or Russian war mis-
sions now in this country would in
clude Omaha in their itineraries, they
would receive the warmest hospital
ity from Omaha and its citizens. II
was out of this general suggestion to
Mr.. Long, who has been designated
as "chief of foreign missions visiting
the United States" that the coming
Japanese mission became uppermost
Mr.. Manley filed with Commission
er of Immigration Caminetti today a
request as the representative OF
Omaha's commerce. organization
that that states of Nebraska and Iowa
be made an independent immigration
district instead of being continued as
part of the st. Louis district. The
commissioner stated that when there
were sufficient funds to justify the re-
quest he would give Omaha serious
consideration.
