Spray Your Trees
Now To Procure

The orchard spraying season being
near at hand, instructions are be-
ing sent out by the Connecticut Agri-
cultural College. through its extern
sion service. Trees should be sprayed
with arsenate of lead, or paris green.
to kill the eating insects. Lime sui
pfaur solution should be used later for
sucking insects. Bordeaux mixture
used as fungfcide. The trees should
be sprayed thoroughly, one good
spray Is worth several lightly applied
sprays. Spraying should be practiced
az a preventive, rather thanSas a cure
For apple trees. the lime sulphur So
luton should be applied Just as the
leaf buds are showing green. The
arsenate of lead spray should be us
ed when the flower buds are showing
pink. The '4Calyx spray should be
used when the petals fall. This is a
spray made Of the same materials as
the arsenate of lead spray. Pear and
ounce trees should be sprayed like
the apple tree, but stone fruits should
be sprayed with a lighter solution.
Peach trees should be sprayed about
two weeks before the buds open and a
second time when the shucks have
fallen off of the blossoms. The bull
letins containing the complete infor-
nation can be secured from the ex-
tension department of the agricultural
college at Storrs.

Munitio1l Plants
Cause Shortage In
Charcoal Supply

A state wide charcoal famine, which
may even spread to coal, itself, has
been brought about, it developed yes
terday, by the New Haven road en-
barge on freight coming into Connec-
ticut- Not a bag of charcoal could be
had in many of the cities OF the state.
A heavy call has been made on the
charcoal supply by the munihon fac
tories which, in some departments,
are using i instead Of soft coal Lo-
cal coal dealers said yesterday that If
the embargo was not removed soon
coal in Connecticut would become al
most as scarce as charcoal.
Practically ali of the charcoal used
in Connecticut comes from Maine
which has built up reputation as a
charcoal making state. There is a
brand of Connecticut charcoal on the
market, but dealers say that it is of
a. poor burning variety and will not
build up a stove fire without a liberal
spraying of kerosene. Even this sup
ply is low and could not be had Ac-
cording to reports yesterday the mu-
milton plants had first GALLON whatever
supply remained and were paying
double the money which middlemer
were willing to give.

URIC ACID
An Enemy in Ambush
eBy DIR. M. c. LUcAs.)

(By DIR. M. G. LUCAS.)
It was not until the discovery by
Sir Arthur Garrod, in 184S, that the
blood Of equity patients contained uric
acid in an excessively large amount,
that much attention was paid to this
subject Later scientific men learned
that in govt (a1so true in rheuma-
tism), the, kidneys do not work prop
erly to throw off the uric acid poison;
consequently uric acid crystals are de-
posted in and about the joints, where
an Inflammation is set up in the near
by tissues. When for any reason the
circulation is sluggish, as in the joints
of the toes. crystals formed from uric
acid are deposited there, and one suf-
fers from govt; or, when deposited In
the tissues, one suffers from muscular
rheumatism or articular rheumatism
My only medicine to counterfeit the
uric acid and to throw it out of the
system is tablets of Anuric double
strength), three times a. day.
The pain in the back, 1umbago. pain
in the neck, creaky joints, stiffness In
muscles, have all been proven to, be
caused by uric acid poison in the
blood and tissues The kidneys soon
become diseased, then there often fol-
lows disease in the muscles of the
heart. 4 =
Kidney disease carries away large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? What can the ordinary per-
son do to properly balance bodily
health? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with
plenty of vegetables, drink plenty of
water between meals, and take an uric
acid solvent before meals for awhile,
such as Anuric double strength) OBJ

uric acid finds that Anuric dissolves
the uric acid as hot water will dissolve

HOW MUCH ARE
YOU WORTH?
Some Men Just Drift Along
While Hustlers Pass
Them By.
Lack Of "Grit' Keeps Good
Men Down.

A man is worth about a dollar
day from his shoulders down, but
from his shoulders up there is no limit
to his value. Facts prove this to be
true. On every side we see some
evidence of this immutable law or
nature. The big men, the men who do
things, are the Clear-eyed, cool, level
headed fellows that never get ruffled
in the pinch, but just keep on plugging
away at steadier and faster gait
And why is this? Surely it is not
because one man has more brains
than another, for all men are created
equal 1t is because one man uses
his brain more than the other-that's
why he is at the top. And brain
power comes from the will to do
grit. Grit, an iron constitution, and
the will to do will get you anything
you desire. But. without iron in the
system you might just as well be
made of dough.
Acid Iron Mineral (natural lron),
supplies the system with this wonder
full bodybuilding element. Extract
ed from the only natural medicinal
iron mineral deposit of its kind known
to the world, and tested, concentrated,
and bottled by the Ferrodine Chemical
Corp, in a form two to six times
the strength of most other iron pre-
parations, it cannot help but be bene-
ficial.
Acid Iron Mineral does not harm OF
discolor the teeth; neither will it in
jure the most delicate digestive
organs. For, in addition to three
forms of iron Acid Mineral contains
magnesium, potassium, calcium and
sodium which properties your doctor
will tell you are very beneficial to
the system. For building up the ap-
petite and restoring! weak kidneys and
bladder, and rundown systems to
normal, Acid Iron Mineral will be
found to approach closely to the
ideal.
All reliable druggists sell Acid Iron

May Be Weeks Late

pleted Snow divorce case in his hands.
all arguments being in. Late yester-
day afternoon it was said that it may
be several weeks before a decision is
made in the case. The case has been
in the courts for three weeks. Late
Monday afternoon Mrs. Adds H. Snow,
who at first petitioned for an absolute
divorce, changed the prayers to one
of limited divorce from Chester A
Snow, millionaire patent attorney and
property owner of this city. The final
decision of the case may not be
known until Justice Stafford returns
from his vacation, which was schedu-

Community SCHOOLS
LAWFUL, SAYS SYME
Bill Backed by Presidents Daugh.
ter Is Before Congress.

The legality Of the bill extending
the facilities of the District schools
and making them community centers
during war time is unquestioned. ac-
cording to District Corporation Coun-
sci Syme, who reported on the meas
ure to the Board of Education yes
terday. Immediate enfranchisement
OF the District for the election OF
community secretaries is probable If
the measure becomes a law.
When questioned by the board IN
regard to whether the bill was con-
sistent with other District laws. Mr..
Syme, in a long Endorsement of the
statement of Miss Margaret Wilson,
who is backing the bill. said that
under old legislation the schools
could not be opened because of lack
of funds for the protection of school
property. Under the present meas
ure appropriations will be made for
light, heat and Janitor service, as
we'll as for paying community sec
retaries who will have charge Of the
work.
The bill provides that the schools
of the District shall be opened for
use as community assembly places
where questions of public interest
during war time can be discussed.
In addition. public school equipment
is to be used to entertain men in
the military and naval service while
they are in Washington to provide
places where ways and means of
food conservation can be placed be-
fore the people, and. finally, to al
ford means for the physical better
ment of the people by means OF
proper recreation and exercise.
The bill was introduced into the
Senate by Senator Smith and into
the House by Representative John
son. Details and proposed changes
to the measure are left to Congress.
