Referring to report that Ray Pfan-

the following:
In the Army and Navy Journal for

of man named Ray Pfanschmtdt
who on the promise that he would
"toin the army" was released by the
court officials of Wichita, Kars., from
iail sentence on the charge Of steal

licity was given to this tale through
out the west and southwest, in the pa

was stated that Pfanschmidt had en-
listed in the army. We take great
Measure in announcing that Pfan-

Is important, for the Milky Way it
self has been the subject OF much
study and scientific investigation
IN general, we may say that the
Milky Way is composed Of millions
or stars. of the fainter magnitudes
apparently, but not necessarily of
little intrinsic or absolute magnitude.
Tor their distance is very great. The
number OF them has never been esti-
mated. In some parts there are
Veritable star clouds. composed of
separate stars, yet SO densely packed
as to give the appearance of nebula
almost. There are a few spots right
In the region of the Galaxy which
are almost entirely devoid of stars,
while around them the stars are as
thick as anywhere. These have been
popularity termed coal sacks, and
lately new theory has been ad-
yanced to explain the curious lac'. OF
stars in those spots. Certain photo
graphs of these places showed a re-
markable likeness to the photogra, ,hs
of some nebulas, and the thought was
advanced that between US AMI the
Milky Way were situated "da.k"
nebulas, which cast no light of their
own and cut off the light which the
ctars of the Milky Way would have
sent us. This is still but coniec.
tuce and needs to be demonstrate
further, but it is welcome as an at
tempt to explain what was inexplic-
able before.
Theory of Star Band.
Still another theoretical conception
is connected with the Milky wa !.
and this bears upon the construction
of the universe. The Milky Way
stretches in a great circle completely
around the heavens, though, na 'urai-
~. from one place we see only part
of the entire ring. Suppose, nov. all
tie stars which form our unive 80
were gathered into fattened sp'ce
shaped like book, milestone or
any other three dimensional solid
which has one dimension, or side,
very much smaller than the other
two. Let us assume, further, that
the stars are pretty evenly scattered
throughout the flattened piece Of
space, and that we ourselves are on
Mother Earth not far from the CEN
ter of all this great profusion of
stars. Il We look in any direction
into the sky we shall see all the
stars that are in that direction from
US; the more stars there are the
denser they will appear to be placed.
When we look in the direction of the
larger measurements or dim ensions
of our book-like space we shall look
at many stars, and they will appear
to be very thickly placed. when,
however, we look In the direction Of
tEe smallest dimension we ara look-
ihg into a space which is populated
with stars only for short distance,
and they will appear much fewer.
That may be exactly the case with
The Milky Way; it's great circle pos

COMMON CABBAGE WORM.
Control Measures Perfected Which Great
ly Reduce Losses Caused by This
Destructive Insect.

The common cabbage worm, the most
destructive insect enemy of cabbage and
related crops in the United States, be-
gins its depredations as soon as the
young plants are set out in the spring.
Steps to combat it should be taken at
an equally early date therefore, it is
pointed out in farmers bulletin 766 of
the United States department of agri-
culture, "The Common Cabbage Worm"
by F. H. Chittenden
Although the insect caused the total
destruction of cabbage, caulifower, and
other crops in large areas in the years
Immediately after its first appearance in
this country in the sixties, control meas
ures have now been perfected to such
degree and adopted to such an extent
that losses need not be great. Spraying
with solution of two pounds of pow
dered arsenste of lead. four pounds of
arsenate of lead in the paste form, or
one pound of Paris green to so gallons
of water should be begun as soon as the
plants are set out and should be repeat
ed as often as examination of the plants
shows it to be necessary.
The common cabbage worm" is the
larvae of white butterfly having black
tipped wings. The butterflies appear on
warm spring days as early as March,

even in the northern states, and contin
ue about gardens and fields until after
several severe fall frosts. In the gull
region they are present throughout the
season. Eggs are laid on cabbage and
related plants, where they hatch in from
four to eight days.
The caterpillar is velvety green, about
the color of the cabbage foliage. 1t eats
voraciously and grows rapidly, becom-
ing full grown in from 10 to IA days
after Matching. Three generations goc'
cur each season in the northeast and
proba bly, six in the extreme south. The
first generation usually develops on wild
plants.
Hand picking may be practiced sue
cessfully in small gardens. Where
sprays are employed they should be APP.
piled in fine mist, since coarser appli-
cations tend to gather in drops on the
leaves and run off.
Community action in combating the
cabbage worm is desirable wherever cab
bage and related crops are grown ex-
tensively. Agreements should be en-
tered into by the truckers of the com
munity for each to spray throughout
the season and to clean carefully the
fields of the bulk of the old stalks as
soon as the crop is harvested. A few
stalks should be left at regular inter
walls as traps on which the last genera
ton of female butterflies will deposit
eggs. Such stalks should be poisoned
freely with arsenicals so that the worms
of the last generation will not develop.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
q Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets--the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel:.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teethf Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
