SMOKE ION u. S. GIRLS
They Organize to Furnish Smokes for
Soldiers Enroute to France.

New York, July 10-Application for
articles of incorporation was made
here today by an organization known
as IAN army girls transport tobacco
fund The object of the organiza-
ton is to provide the soldiers and
sailors on transports leaving this coun-
try for Europe with plenty of to-
hacco as a ration.
During the rush of sending the first
contingents of soldiers to France, an
officer told the daughter of a promi-
nent army officer that the men sail
ing on the ships would be unable to
smoke for the simple reason that
there was no tobacco on board thar
they could buy. The young woman
wasted no time with army red tape
but went directly to a banker who
arranged for credit at a large tobacco
company with the result that there
was plenty of tobacco on the trans
ports when they started for Europe.
Scores of officers have written to the
young woman to acknowledge the APP
probation of every man in the expe-
ditiOn.

WATCH BUGS NOW
Wheat Pest Must Be Kept Out
of the Corn Fields.
Different Remedies for Wet and
Dry Weather.

Manhattan, Kan, July 10.-Vigor-
Gus effort will be necessary soon after
harvest to prevent the large numbers
of chinch bugs which have developed
in the wheat, oats and rye from in
juring the nearby fields of corn, kaf1r
and sorghum, according to J. w. Nc
Colloch, assistant entomologist in the
agricultural college.
The chinch bug can be kept out of
adjoining fields by maintaining eff
cient dust barriers during dry wealth
er, road oil or tar barriers during wet
weather, and destroying all bugs that
succeed in crossing the barrier and
congregate on the first few rows.
The Dust Barriers.
There are two types of dust bar
riers-the double furrow and the
angle furrow. The first is made by
blowing a strip about 10 feet wide be-
tween the infested and non-infested
fields and then reducing the soil to a
fine dust by narrowing and dragging.
Two troughs made of heavy lumber
and held a foot apart by cross pieces
are used as a drag and two deep paral-
lei burrows are formed, the sides and
bottom of which are covered with a
deep, fine dust
The single furrow barrier is made
by blowing a deep lister furrow be-
tween the infested and non-infested
fields. The SIDES ana DOttOnS are re-
duced to a deep fine dust by dragging
with a heavy log wrapped with a log
chain. After bugs are caught in these
burrows they can be destroyed sue
cessfully by burning with a gasoline
torch.
Wet Weather Remedy.
In wet weather a road oil or tar
barrier is necessary to hold the chinch
bugs. 1t is prepared by dragging the
back furrow to form compact groove
on the top of it Road oil No. or
tar is then poured along the groove
from a sprinkling can in a stream
large enough to make a line of oil
from half to three-fourths of an inch
wide. The bugs are destroyed by burn
ing with a gasoline torch, the same as
| in the dust barrier.
| The bugs which get over into the
| first few rows of corn may be de-
stroyed by means of soap spray
made by dissolving eight pounds OF
laundry soap in fifty gallons of water
| Where it is impossible to spray, the
burning of the infested rows is to be
recommended.

decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps of

cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with
sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells,
acid stomach, or you have rheumatism
when the weather is bad, get from your
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys will then act

the acid of grapes and lemon juice,

plications. will prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur reel
pc at home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get 80 cent bottle Of
Wyeth S Sage and sulphur Compound
at any drug store all ready for use.
This is the old time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire TO retain our youth
full appearance and attraetiVeness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth IS Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell
because it does it so naturally, so even
ly. 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 hairs have
disappeared, and, after another appli-
cation or two, your hair becomes beau
