NEW ENEMY OF PEACH.

An insect destructive to the peach
and kindred fruits, believed to be
new in the United States, has been
discovered by entomologists of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture in the District of Columbia
and it's environs. This insect. which
in its adult form is a brownish moth
and in its larval stage small white
and pink caterpillar, attacks both the
tender shoots and fruit, causing SER
ious losses.
Because of the habits of the worm,
the usual control measures such as
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 a very short
time after the spray is applied, and
hence it is, almost impossible to poi.
) son them. The, entomologists of the
department who have been investi-
eating the pest will continue to
study it in the hope of developing
control measures.
What the Insect Is.

TO READJUST POSTAL BATES,

Washington Jan. 9.-The ways
are now being CREASED for the launch
ing of the movement for the read
justment of postal rates in the pre-
sent session Of Congress. This prob
lem was to have been taken up in
the last session but had to be de-
ferred on account of the consider
alton required by railway mail pay.
Since this has been disposed of the
committees are prepared to take up
the matter of placing the various
postal rates on more equitable
basis.
A zone system of rates for second
class matter is being prominently
urged to take the place Of the pres
ent fiat rate which was adopted
nearly forty years ago. The present
rate has for some time been regard
ed as a discrimination against the
newspapers in favor of the great
national magazines. Like the parcel
post the proposed zone rates would
be based on the length of the haul.
The postal committees have been
besieged by petitions bearing mil.
lions of names and several hundred

be carried all over our country, and
to certain foreign countries, for two
cents, and return a large profit, it
is quite evident that the profit on
local, or the so-called drop letters,
must be exorbitant. The reduction
will mean no falling off in the reve-
nues as it is generally regarded that
the volume of mail will practically
be doubled Immediately upon the
installation of the new rate"
Representative Britt, of North
Carolina, former assistant Post
master General and now a member
of the House Postal Comittee, says
that 81 cent will much more than
pay the cost of handling local de-
livery letters and the creation of
such rate will be a powerful stimu-
lus to urban business and local cor
respondence. A glance at the pos
tai statistics will show this rate to
be easily feasible. I am encouraged
to believe that the day of equitable
adjustment of our Postal rates, and
one-cent letter postage is not far
distant"

Orleans and Northeastern Railroad
Company, Alabama & Vicksburg
Railway Company. and Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific Railway Com
pany have been held for many years
by an English investment company,
known as the functions Company.
Southern Railway Company acquired
in 1905 a minority holding of the
shares of this English Company.
"By a transaction made possible
through the wish of the directc 8 and
other security holders of this Eng
lish company to assist the British
Government in securing American
exchange, Southern Railway Com
pany has consolidated its invest
ment by the acquisition in direct
ownership of the controlling stock
of the New Orleans and Northeastern
heretofore held by the English COM
pany, and at the same time has part
ed with all interest, direct or lndl-
rect, in the Alabama and Vicksburg
Shreveport and Pacific by sale OF its
holdings of the shares of the juno.
tions Company, which are now held
abroad.
"In consequence the New Orleans
and Northeastern will hereafter be
operated as a part of the Southern
Railway System, thus affording the
Southerns lines a direct entrance
into New Orleans, as well as physi-
cal connection with the extensive
terminals of New Orleans Terminal
Company, of which the Southern has
been for some time the sole owner..'

have been introduced from Japan.
So far as the departments entomolo-
gists know, it has not been found in
America other than in the District of
Columbia and in the adjoining terri
tory in Maryland and Virginia. The
specialists are desirous 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 attacked in turn, the abnormal
stimulation of lateral growth pro-
ducing a much branched and bushy
plant. A copious flow of gum from
the twig ends often follows the at
tack of the caterpillars.
Injury to Fruit.
In attacking fruit the young cater
pillars generally eat thruogh the
skin at or near the point of attach
ment 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 discolored and
more or less Shiny. Larva 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 pu-
pate. Moths emerge in the spring
for egg laying by the time the
shoots are well out.

thousand letters from individuals
urging readjustment of postal rates
with a view of making possible one
cent letter postage. A survey OF the
situation indicates that sufficient
changes will be made in the various
rates to permit the granting of a l
cent rate on local delivery letters in
the mex. session of Congress.
Chairman Moon of the House Pos
taY Committee, today said; 81 think
that the Committee will take up this
second-class mail matter at the next
session and press it to conclusion
at once. While I cannot speak for
the Committee, this is my desire in
the matter. I do not know what
kind of bill we will pass, whether
it will have a zone feature attached
to it or not. This view has been
presented frequently in years past,
and sometimes received favor and
sometimes not. AS to what shape
the legislation will be in am not
able to say, but ! am sure the Com
mittee will give it the best possible
shape in the public interest"
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, a
prominent member Of the Senate
Postal Committee, said: "I do think
the time has come when the people
who write and mail letters and pay
postage ought not to have quite SO

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lus-
ire With Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally,
0 evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
blesome. For so cents you can buy
at any dry store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, called "Wy-
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" /"
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
YOUR hair, taking one small strand at
time. By morning all gray hair
disappears, and, after another appll-
cation or two, your hair becomes beau
tifully darkened, glossy and luXurl-
ant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is delightful toi-
let requisite and not medicine. 1t
