CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE.
Members Are Mon With Civic Pride
Who Advance Civic Interests.

Members Are Mon With Civic Pride
Who Advance Civic Interests.
When business man becomes a
member Of chamber of commerce his
worth to the community as such men,
Der is measured by his faith in the
institution and what he personally con-
tributes through individual effort to-
ward promoting the success Of the or
ganization, writes Edwin B. Lord, Sec
rotary Of the Massillon co. chamber
Of commerce. Such men usually are
broad in their views. They are men Of
faith. They are prepared to bow to
the rule Of the majority, even though
1t may not suit them personally.
Ever since chambers Of commerce
have been in existence there have been
men who profited by the work Of 9th
ers, yet who did nothing personally to
promote the civic advantages upon
which their individual success invaria-
bly, was more or less dependent. Such
men usually think they are fooling the
other fellows who are doing the actual
work of building up the city; but, in
the last analysis, they are cheating
only themselves, for they never realize
full dividends upon their efforts be-
cause they cannot understand that the
best way of helping oneself is to
help the other fellow. These men are
never found on the firing line. They
are the faultfinders, the destructive
critics.
In each community, however, there
are men who take pleasure in advertis-
ing their home town and cultivating
their civic pride. These are the men
of influence in the local chamber Of
commerce, and they are the men to
whom the community looks for support
and guidance when plans or work in
volving the welfare of the community
is under consideration.
It Is from this class of men that the
best and most successful members OF
chamber are recruited, and without
such men many cities now occupying
front ranks in industrial, commercial
or civic development would still be hid
den In the obscurity enveloping all
places lacking civic pride.

TO RID STREETS OF LITTER.
Ant-litter League Offers Cash Prizes

The Anti-litter league of New York
city is getting ready for a winter cam
paign of education among the school
children, their parents, shopkeepers,
janitors, porters and others for the
purpose Of bringing to their attention
that it is wrong to litter public high

declare that preventable litter, such as
paper. garbage, ashes and rubbish, can
not legally be placed on the streets.
The league is preaching the gospel of
cleanliness in all the boroughs this
winter in the public schools and by
nlacarding shop windows and other
places. In order to stimulate an inter-
est among the 100000 public school
and 100000 parochial school children of
the city the league is offering $50 In
cash prizes for the best essays on litter.

NEW ENEMY OF PEACH.
Entomoloeists Discover Destructive
Insect Near Washington, D. c.
Believed to Have Been Introduced
from .Iapan

Believed to Have Been Introduced
from Japan.
An insect destructive to the peach
and kindred fruits, believd to be new
in the United States, has been dis
covered by entomo!ocists of tho
United States Department of 4tgricul-
ture in the District of Columbia and
it's environs. This insect. which in its
adult form is a brownsh moth and in
its larVal stage a small white and pink
caterpillar attacks both the tender
shoots and fruit, causing serious loss.
Because of the habits of the worm,
the usual control measures such Us
spraying with certain arsenates will
probably not be effective. The smooth
young shoots, owing to their rapid
growth, are protected by the poison
solution for only very short time af-
ter the spray is applied, and hence it is
almost impossible to poison them. The
entomologists of the department who
have been investigating the pest will
continue to study it in the hope of de-
veloping control measures.
What the Insect Is.
The insect, known to science as
Laspeyresia molesta, is believed to
have been introduced from Japan. So
far as the departments entomologists
know, it has not been found in America
other than in The District of Columbia
and in the adjoining territory in Mary
land and Virginia. The specialists are
DESTROYS of knowing If the insect has
attacked peach, plum, or cherry trees
elsewhere in the United States.
The presence of the insect can best
be determined in most cases by the
nature of its injury to peach trees. 1t
bores into practically every tender
twig and causes new shoots to push
out from lateral buds. These are at
tackled in turn, the abnormal stimula-
ton of latedal growth producing a
much branched and bushy plant. A
copious flow of gum from the twig
ends often follows the attack of the
caterpillars.
Injury to Fruit.
In attacking fruit the young cater
pillars generally eat through the skin
at or near the point of attachment of
the fruit stem. The larva, as it grows,
makes it's way to the pit, where it
feeds on the flesh, which soon becomes
much discoIored and more or less
Shiny. Larvae entering at the side of
the fruit are more likely to eat out
pockets or cavities in the flesh.
The full-grown caterpillar spins a
whitish silk cocoon In which to pupate.
Moths emerge in the spring for egg
laying by the time the shoots are well
out.
The Bureau of Entomology, United
States Department of Agriculture, es
pecially requests owners of peach or
other fruit trees to report the presence
of this new pest in their orchards.
Specimens of twigs may be mailed
wrapped in paper or, preferably in a
suitable box.

SIXTY-FIvE POUNDS
by TAKING TANLAC
ONLY WEIGHED so POUNDS
WHEN SHE BEGAN TAKING
IT-NOW WEIGHS I45 AND
FEELS LIKE NEW WOMAN.

Many wonderful statements have
been made by people in all sections !
of the country who have made aston
ishing gains in weight by the use of |
Tanlac, but what is probably the
most remarkable statement ever made !
in this connection was given to Mr..
Rowe St Clair, of the Live & Let Live
Drug Co., Chattanooga, Tenn, by G.
C. Wilson, Ill 10th St, that city, who
said:
My wife has been in bad health for
three or four years, suffering from
stomach trouble, indigestion and con-
stipation. She tried everything, but
kept going down and fell off in weight
until she was hardly more than a
frame. When she began taking Tan
lac she weighed only eighty pounds
and now since taking twelve bottles
she weighs one hundred and forty
five pounds She has actually gained
sixty-five pounds and I have never
seen so great a change in anybody in
all my life as this medicine has made
in her.
Before she took Tanlac she had
no appetite at all and never enjoved
the little she forced herself to eat
She would often sit down to a meal
and the sight of it seemed to nau-
seate her and she would leave the
table without eating a bite She had
so much gas on her stomach at times
she said she felt like she would choke
to death. Something that felt like a
big ball would rise up in her throat
and almost cut off her breath. This
was the case after every meal and
made eating almost impossible for
her. She was gradually starving be-
cause her food didn't digest from it
scarcely at all She finally got so
nervous he could hardly sleep and
was too thin and weak to even try
to look after her homework l spent
lots of money for medicines and it
seemed that everything was done for
her that could be, but nothing did her
any good, Finally she went to the
hospital here and stayed for eight
weeks, but that failed to help her,
I don't reckon anybody ever suffered
more than she did and she was de-
spondent and discouraged and / was
alarmed about her because it looked
like nothing would help her,
Sd" lanai duNCL LtSGd HI tAlC
papers and bought it for her, but I
never once thought of her getting
such wonderful results as she has, !
Her improvement has been so great
that no one would take her for the
same person she was the day she
started on Tanlac It's the truth,
all the nausea and gas and every
sign of indigestion disappeared al
most as soon as she began on Tanlac,
She has gradually gotten stronger
and picked up in weight until she
has taken twelve bottles and is like
a brand new woman She now eats
three big hearty meals a day and
digests it every hit and hasn't an
uncomfortable feeling afterwards
It's a positive fact, just as I said
before, she has gained sixtyfve
pounds in weight, and all signs of
constipation and nervousness and
everything else that troubled her are
gone ard we owe it all to nothing but
