The object Of this suit is to obtain a
divorce a vincula matrimonii by the
plaintiff from the defendant. The bill
alleges that the parties were married
on the goth day Of December, 1904, and
that there was born Of said marriage one
child which is now dead. That they
lived together in Charles County, Nd,
until the 14th day Of January, 1914.
That though the conduct of the plaintiff
has always been kind, faithful and above
reproach the defendant has without any
just cause or reason abandoned and de-
serted him and declared her intention to
live with him no longer, and that such
abandonment is deliberate and final and
has continued uninterruptedly for over
three years. and that the separation Of
the parties is beyond any reasonable ex-
pectation of reconciliation. That the
plaintiff has ever been willing and ready
to provide a comfortable home for the
defendant and has requested the de-
PENDANT to return to him but that she
has refused and declared her intention
to live with him no longer That the
defendant is nonresident of the State
Of Maryland and has resided for the
time OF the alleged desertion in Wash
ington City, District of Columbia.

Court for Charles County, in equity, this
10Th day of May, 1917. that the plaintiff,

10 his proclamation the President
Of the United States has provided
for classes Of exemptions from the
draft. The list will he carefully con-
ned by the men who are under notice
by the fact Of registration. The
causes for exemption are set forth for
the guidance of the exemption boards
as well as for the instruction Of the in :
dividuals affected, and are as follows;
Men indispensable to industries
that are necessary to the maintenance
Of the military establishment tr the
national interest
Men with wives, children, parents,
b. others anl SISTERS dependent solely
upon them for support.
Members of well-recognlzed reli-
gious seeis whose creeds forbid bear
ing arms; students Of divinity and
ordained ministers.
Legislative, Judicial and executive
officers of the United States or the
States Of the Union.
Men in the Army or Navy of the
U nited States.
Aliens who have not taken fret
citizenship papers and subjects of
Germany
Workmen in the armories, ars 4nals
and navy yards of the United States
aud men engaged in the transmission
OF the United States mails.
Pilots and mariners in the merch-
Mt marine Of the United States.
Criminals convicted Of feionies and
morally deficient
A number of acute provisions sur
round the scope and the methods of
the executive boards, that seem abso-
luteIy to provide for the selection Of
the men who will be sent across the
waters by rules of absolute fairness
The time set for the drawings has
not as yet been announced by the
President. Nor will the board Of ap-
peals that will be created to pas
upon appeals from the decision OF
the exemption boards be announced
as yet.
The regulations to be put into eff
feet for the designation of those who
shall be first to serve in France and
for the apportionment of the quota
to the states will permit of the closest
scrutiny and criticism. So that in
case there may be discovered inqui.
ties or loopholes for preference and
tavoritism or envy points of weakness
in the machinery, the needed correc.
tons may be made. But the detail
have been SO thoroughly worked Gu
that only the closest scrutiny will u'
able to disclose any possible improve
ments IN the methods to be a loptec
| Hence the select m will have the
merit of fairness and impsriislity thai
is the keynote of democratic institu.
tons. After the drawings have beer
made at Washington from the myriad
Of tabulated registrations and the
numbers have been passed over to the
exemption boards the real work Of
classification and selection will pro-
cede.
The leading principles for exemption
that have been adopted will permit
these boards to act within clearl v
defined lines, although there is and
must be a field for independent judg-
ment And the appeal board will
take care of protests. So the United
States now stands prepared to turn
out speedily six hundred thousand or
more soldiers, task that Berlin has
said would require years to perfol IN.
The spectacle is most impressive for
America in the war.

The custom of putting poison on
leaves to kill biting insects is quite
general. The most common poi
sons thus used are-Acid Lead
Arsenate, Neutral Lead Arsenate,
Lime Arsenate, and Paris Green.
Each of these contains Arsenic Ok
ide, a poison that kills insects which
eat it.
Acid Arsenate of Lead is FIVE
times heavier than water, while
Neutral Arsenate OF Lead is seven
times heavier than water. This
would indicate that the Acid Arse
nate of Lead will remain in sus-
pension longer in water, and this
is true. Acid Arsenate of Lead
will kill insects much more quickly
than the Neutral Arsenate of
Lead. From these facts, then, we
may conclude that Acid Arsenate
of Lead should be used for spray
ing vegetables, since it kills more
rapidly, and remains in suspension
longer than Neutral Arsenate of
Lead.
Arsenate of Lime. - Several
companies are now offering excel
lent Arsenate of Lime which prom
ises to be valuable poison for use
on garden vegetables. Arsenate of
Lime should contain approx
mately IS per cent arsenic oxide Il
both of the Arsenates of Lead are
required by law to contain at least
12H per cent arsenic oxide, hence
Arsenate of Lime is theoretically
more poisonous than the Arsenate
of Lead. However, I'm actual prac-
tice, the three seem to have ap-
proximately the same killing
power. AS the Arsenate of Lead
costs about % cents pound and
the Arsenate of Lime about 16I
cents a pound. the latter should be
more generally used.
Paris Green.-The pioneer poi
son is Paris Green, but its use is
rapidly ceasing, due to the supe-
rior qualities Of Arsenate of Lead.
Paris Green is copper and arsenic
compound of variable and unsta-
bic composition. Free copper
compounds and water soluble ar
senic tend to be liberated after the
spray is on the foliage, usually re-
sulting in burning.
theoretically, Paris Green should
be four times as poisonous as Ar-l
senate of Lead, as the law requires
minimum of so per cent OF ar
senious oxid in Paris Green. In
actual practice, however, Paris
Green is usually considered to be
about two or three times as poison
Gus. This is because of its quicker
action due to its greater quantity
of water soluble arsenic. Since
this is the case, the danger OF burn
ing is CORRESPONDENCE greater. Att
the present prices, Paris Green
costs approximately twice as much
as Arsenate of Lead powder and
is therefore very little cheaper and
considerably more dangerous to-
use on foliage.
Since Arsenate OF Lead may be
used in combination with all fungi
cides, with lime, or alone, and,
when the proper kind is selected
for the work in hand, no injury is ;
likely to be had, its universal use
should be encouraged.
If you wish to know where these
poisons can be secured and Just {

table atmosphere;
To m AXE courtesy,
liberality and friend
illness everyday vir-
tues among our peo-
pie;
To sell dependable
merchandise at fair
prices, permitting no
Misrepresentation of
quality orvalue, either
In the public prints
or behind our count
ers;
Tomake good, cheer
fully and willingly,
any shortcomings In
any article we sell.
Git Is these principles
that have been woven
into the success of
Baltimore's Best
Store. And we are
not even content with
the store as 1t is, but
are ever trying to
make it still better.
q Whenever you visit
