PROTECT PEACH TREES
FROM WORM LARVAE.
(By Donald McCluer.)

The moth that produces the
neach tree borer will make her
appearance during the next two
or three weeks. AS soon as the
mature moth is developed she
will start to lay her eggs for the
coming generation. These eggs
are laid on the trunk Of the tree
lust above the ground. AS soon
as the eggs hatch which will be
about ten dayss, the young lar
vac look for cracks in the bark
of the tree where they can start
to work. The presence OF the
borers is very easily detected by
the gummy frass gathering at
the base Of the tree.
After the borers get a start IN
the tree there is no way to step
them but to cut in the tree and
get out the worm (LarVae;
However they can be largely
largely prevented by mounding
up the dirt around the base OF
the tree in the early part Of the
summer, and by painting the
tree trunks with a poisoned
whitewash. The poisoned white
wash is made by adding one Q)
pint of crude Carbolic acid tc
ten gallons Of ordinary lime
white-wash. If the trees arc
thoroughly painted at the base
with this an dthe dirt viii
mound up around the base OF tht
trees there will be little danger
from these insects.

SAYS DRINK WATER IF YOU WISH
TO GROW FAT AND PLUMP
THIN MEN AND WOMEN
Do You Want to Get Fat and Be

Strong?
The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on dragging their stomach or
stufing it with greasy foods: rubbing
on useless ''fiesh creams,' or following
some foolish hysicians culture stunt,
while the real cause of thinness goes
untouched. You cannot get fat until
your digestive tract properly assimi
lates the food you eat. Drink glass
Of cold water four or five times a day
and take the following preparation
known to reliable druggists almost ev-
erywhere, which seemingly embodies
the missing elements needed by the di
gestive organs to help them convert
food into rich, fat-laden blood. This
preparation is called tonoline, and much
remarkable testimony is given as to
it's successful use in flesh building. To-
Moline which comes in the form Of a
small non-injurious tablet, taken at
meals and mixed with the digesting
food, tends to prepare fat, flesh and
muscle building elements so that the
blood can readily accept and carry
them to the starved portion Of the body.
You can readily picture the transfer
nation that additional and previously
lacking flesh making material should
bring to your cheeks, filling out hol-
lows about your neck, shoulders and
bust disappearing, and your taking on
from Is to 80 pounds of solid healthy
flesh. Tonoline is harmless, inexpens-
i've efficient. E. T. Whitehead & Co.,
have it and are authorized to refund
your money if weight increase is not
obtained as per the guarantee found
in each large package.
Caution :-tonoline is recommended
only as a flesh builder and while ex
cellent results in cases Of nervous in
care should be taken about using it un
less gain Of weight is desired.

CHOLERA MORBUS

This is a very painful and dangerous
disease. In almost every neighborhood
someone has died from it before medi-
cine could be obtained or physician
summoned. The right way is to have
a bottle of Chamberlain s Collie and Di-
arrhoea Remedy in the house so as to
be prepared for it. Mrs. Charles Eny-
cart, Huntington, Ind, writes: "Dur-
ing the summer Of 1911 two Of my chill
dren were taken sick with cholera NOR

Diarrhoea Remedy and it gave then

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into d
bottle containing about three ounces Of
orchard white, then shake we'll and
you have whole quarter pint Of skin
and complexion lotion at about the cost
one usually pays for small jar or or
binary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice so no pulp gets into
the bottle then this lotion will remain
purt and fresh for month. When ap-
piled daily to the face, neck, arms and
hands it should help to bleach, clear
'smoothen and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three ounces
or archard white at very little cost
and the grocer has the lemons.

Miss Galligan
Wins Swim of
Hundred Yards

Miss Clare Galligan, the recognized
all-around woman swimming champion
of the United States, captured the
first competition for the loo-yard
metropolitan title at Midland Beach
Yesterday. The holder Of many ma.
tional championships and records led
from start to finish, winning by ten
yards, in 1:09 2-5.
The time is the best ever made in
the local district. However, the new
mark will not be accepted, as the ON
Gals did not have gun to send OH
the swimmers from their marks.
By her spectacular performance Miss
Galiigan showed that she was back in
her old form. The world record for
the distance is 1:0s 3-5, made III a
sixty-foot pool in San Francisco last
year Miss Galligan's feat was done
in a pool 10 feet long.
Miss Charlotte Boyle was second,
passing Miss Rita Greenfield in the
last fifteen yards, TO beat her by three
yards. Miss Lucy Freeman and Miss
Edna Cole. the other starters, finished
fourth and fifth, respectively.
In the fancy diving handicap con-
test Miss Lydia Vogt go points, won.
with s29 points; Miss Alma Wyckoff
"a points,, with ~ points, was second,
with Miss Josephine Bartlett, scratch,
third with 70 points.

circuit so often that the formality be-

.342. He is fifth in the list now and
going stronger every day.
Cruise, of the Cardinals, is once
more back in the lead for honors, with
1856, though Prendergast, Cub pitcher,
who has not been to bat often enough
to really qualify, is credited with 1915.
Tom Clarke, of the Cincinnati Reds, is
hitting .S53, and Eddie Roush, Of the
same team, .349.
Though he has fallen away down to
.305, George Burns still leads the
Giants. Zimmerman just barely quail
fes at 800. Ivy Olson shows the way
20 the Dodgers, with 1924. Zach Wheat
has hit for .316 TO date.
The reason of New York's exalted
position in the National League race Is
easily discernible. While the team
stands third both in hitting and field

sivc strength surpassed that Of any
rival. Furthermore. the pitching has
been stronger than a year ago. Three

Outdoor Games
May Be Held on
Franklin Field

Although no announcement as yet
has been made, IT is very likely that
the annual outdoor track and field
championships of the Amateur Athletic
Union will be held on Franklin Field.
Philadelphia, under the auspices Of the
University of Pennsylvania. The games
are scheduled TO be held in st. Louis,
but that city, although not making a
definite reply, has intimated that 1t is
not now inclined to go through with its
intentions.
During the last week several officials
of the Quaker institution were in con-
sultation with the local association OF
the union, and while what transpired
could not be officially learned 1t is
known that it concerned the champion
ships.
With the news that st. Louis would
probably not hold the games, critics Of
this city stated that the contests would
be held either in this city or Boston.
However, this belief has been crushed
by Frederick W. Ruben. chairman Of
the championship committee, who de-
clared positively that they would not be
held in either association.
Five offers have been made for the
title games, and should ST. Louis de-
eide not TO stage the competition the
