are rigorous can be renovated, ana
their usefulness prolonged number Of
years. High-headed trees with their
bearing wood ut the extremities of
long branches are not only difficult to
spray, but the work of picking the
fruit is troublesome and expensive.
Such trees may be headed back and
the fruiting wood brought within con-
venient reach. frees like peaches may
be cut back to few short arms near
the trunk, and the tree allowed to
form an entirely new head. With up
pies and pears severe heading Is not to
be recommended. With old trees,
where the head is SO high that in order
to materially reduce the workable
height the branches would have to be
nearly all cut away, it Is questionable
whether the renovation is profitable.
Old trees which are vigorous and
which are of varieties that are not
desirable may be headed back and the
tops grafted into desirable varieties.
This top-working is done by budding
In the case of peaches and by cleft
grating in the case of other kinds of
fruit trees. The new top is formed as
low down as is consistent with the
vigor Of the tree and the size Of the
branches.
Renovation.
In all renovation or rejuvenation Of
fruit trees there is more to be con.
sidered than just pruning and top.
working. Old orchards have usually
been neglected in regard to cultivation,
spraying, and fertilizing, as we'll as
pruning. After the trees have been
dehcaded and all rubbish in the or.
chard cleared up and burned, q good
spraying with lilne-sulphur should be
given. This spray will kill any scale
insects that may be in the orchard and
will help to clean up the trees. When.
ever the season permits, the land can
be broken and clean culture given. II
the orchard has been in sod for nun.
Der of years, and especially with some
leguminous crop, the soil will prob.
ably contain good deal of vegetable
matter; but If not, then this material
may be supplied by giving the land
good dressing of stable manure. An
application of 800 pounds of acid phos.
plate and $50 pounds of muriate or
sulphate of potash per acre, scattered
around under the outer extremities
Of the limbs and between the rows and
narrowed in, will be very beneficial to
the production Of good crops of fruit.

GOOD WIFE SCENTED TRICK
Now Hubby Has an Idea That He Is
Not as Smart as He Thought
He Was.

In one OF the indianapolis suburbs,
where agents for labor-savlng house
hold articles are daily visitors, one Of
the married women has made many
purchases of agents. Most of them
are rank failures. One day the hus-
band came home and found his wife
had made another purchase In fact,
she explained the merits of the new ar
ticle In glowing terms.
Mr.. Husband listened patiently un-
til the story of the merits was told,
then said to his wife:
ITS fact that tramps mark houses,
as guides to one another, where some
thing to eat can be had. I'll bet that
agents do the same way and that this
house Is marked I'm going to inves-
tigate."
Walking to the door. followed by his
wife, he palmed the stub OF lead pen

DAY OF REVOLUTIONS PAST
Education Must Take the Place o. the
Anticipated Methods Of Making
/ Changes In Government,

The machine gun and the high ex-
plOsive shell have ended the days Of
successful revolutions. according to
Stanley J. Weyman, the English au-
thor of "The House of the Wolf" "A
Gentleman of France" and "Under the
Red Robe" According to Mr.. Wey-
mans view no rebellion by the peo-
pie can ever hope to be successful In
the larger nations now.
Against the muskets and cannon Of
old days naked hands and makeshift
weapons could prevail II fury lent
strength and numbers were sufficient.
But today, when half dozen machine
guns. handled by twice as many ex-
perts, can NOW down hundreds In q
minute; when even a single high-ex-
plosive shell can wreck half q village,
when everything that has to do with
these weapons, with the munitions
that feed them, and the airplanes that
guide them, is technical to a degree,
Of what avail are the scattered rifles

ments hastily levied and scqntily

STERN CALL ON ENGINEERS
Italian Army Had to Fight Nature az
Well as the Forces to Which II
Was Opposed.

A recent message from the field
headquarters of the Italian army says
that the transportation romance Of this
45O-mile mountain front, set down in
cold, hard figures, reads thus: 2,44S
miles of railroad rebuilt or repaired I;
$50 miles of new railroad built; $50
miles Of airline cables stretched for
the teleferica system; 10000 miles of
telephone wire put up; 10000 new
troop, hospital and freight buildings
erected; 200 miles of narrow gauge
railroad laid in or behind the trenches /;
10 new bridges thrown across rivers
and precipices to accommodate 2,0iO
miles Of operating road.
The work is credited to 100 civil en-
gineers of the government department
of public works, aided by army en-
gineers proper; likewise by 100000
workmen and 100000 army mules,
hitched to $4,000 wagons.
The foregoing Is the first official rec
ord of the exact extent Of the con-
struction work on this front, carried
on steadily for 18 months, despite enc
my artillery, avalanches, snowfalls,
rains. floods, frost, lack of material
and all of the other ills by which en-
gineers are beset.

What Is Uric oAcid !?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Elk.
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
OF the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked Kidneys
fail TO do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood TO the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is only a
matter OF toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by treatment with Anuric,
three times day. Anuric is recent
discovery of DR.. Pierce OF Buffalo, N. Y,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Pierce that
Anuric is more powerful agent than
lithia in dissolving uric acid, and it is
then carried out of the system.

FIFTEEN OF VIGILANCIA'S
CREW PERISH
Survivors From American Steamship
Sunk by Germans Were in open
Roats From Friday Until Sunday.

Plymouth. Marcn 19-CVla LonGon).
Fifteen members of the crew OF the
American steamer Vigilancia LOST
their lives when the steamer was
torpedoed by a German submarine.
The survivors were in lifeboats from
Friday morning until Sunday after
noon.
4. Among those drowned were seye1al
American citizens, including Thlro
Officer Neils P. North and Thro En-
.sineer Carl Adeholde. This informa-
tion was given out by Capt. Frank
A Middleton, of New York, who with
the survivors of the Vigilancia has
reached the mainland and probably
will make afidavits tomorrow before
the American consul.
To the Associated Press Capt. Mid
dleton said today that his vessel was
sunk without warning. 1t was 10
O'Clock Friday morning, with the
weather clear, when the ship was
struck by torpedo On the starboard
side near the No. hatch. Two tor
pedoes were fred at the steamer, but
the first passed harmlessly astern.
Between seven and ten minutes after
the steamer was struck she founoefeo
Thrown Into the Water.
Two lifeboats were lowered from
the Vigilancia and the crew OF forty
three men got into them. Owing to
the swell of the ocean. however,
twenty-five men were thrown into the
water.
The boats of the captain and the
mate picked up ten of the men, but
the other fifteen were drowned.
Capt Middleton says he saw no sub
marine during the attack, but that
one of the engineers thinks he sa"
a periscope. The captain saw two oily
streaks on the water about thou-
sand yards from the steamer, Whlcn
he took to be the tracks of the torpe-
does. The Vigilancia was flying the
American flag and her name and a
flag were painted on either side.
Speaking of his experience in the
boat, Capt. Middleton said:
after rescuing as many OF the
crew as possible in the boats we had
biscuits and water. At night I fired
distress signals. Several times by
the glare of the lights saw a sub
marine following us fifty yards from
the boats between 10 o'clock Friday
night and $50 Saturday morning, but
it made no attempt to help US.

boat. One man of the engine room

IMPROVlNG PASSENGER
SERVICE ON SOUTHERN

Washington, D. c.; March 24.-Pas-
senger travel between the South ano
Boston and other New England points
will be made much more convenient
through the completion Of the grea'
He'll Gate bridge, over the East river
at New York, which practically links
the rails OF the Pennsylvania and
New Haven systems. 1t is expected
that within a short time, through SER
vice between Boston and Washing
ton will be established, thus elimin-
ating the cross-toWn transfer no"

Southern Railway passenger OH
Gals believe that in time they will
be operating through Pullman cars
direct service between Boston and
New Orleans, Mobile, Montgomery
Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, Chat

points in the great cotton mill dis
trict of the Piedmont section, trains
being routed over the Southern Rail
way system to Washington, Pennsyl,
vania to New York, through the East
river tubes to Long Island, thence
over the He'll Gate bridge to connect
with the New Haven for Boston.
Such through service would tend
to increase trade and travel. both
commercial and tourist, between the
South and New England. The Hell

marvels of the age and with the con-
Meeting railroad tracks was construct
