A May basket had been made by Mrs
Angie r. Steward prettily trimmed in
the Philathea colors Of blue and white
and as each lady deposited her dollar
in the receptacle she told her expert
ences in earning the same. Owing to
the heavy shower a large number
OF members were detained at their
homes otherwise the contribution
would have been much larger Other
program features included a song by
Miss Isabelle B. Thomas with piano
accompaniment by Mrs. Ethel Whit
tier Ames with violin obligato by Miss
Virginia Ames and a piano solo by
Miss Felma Fogg. During the even
ing letters were written by the men,
bers to Mrs. Ella F. Mitchell for whom
the class was named and to Mrs. Err

CONTROL OF THE GYPSY MOTH
Severity of lnfestation Important Fac
tor in Determining Which Method
Should Be Used.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Gypsy moth in orchards can be con-
trolled by number of methods, the
severity of infestation being an impor-
used. If only few egg clusters are
present in the orchard, early spraying,
such as is applied for the codling moth
after the blossoms have fallen, will be
found useful, providing the amount Of
poison used is increased to ten pounds
to 100 gallons of water. If the infesta-
ton is more serious, a second spraying
early in June, using a similar amount
of poison, will be found very satisfac-
tory. In cases where the infeStation
is severe it probably will be necessary
to creosote egg clusters in the winter
and spray in the spring if the insect is
to be controlled. In any case, thor
oughness is prime essential if good
results are to be secured.
All poor or hollow trees should be
removed, and if badly infested wood
land is nearby the orchard trees
should be banded with the sticky sub
stance previously mentioned or with
tree-banding material. Orchard in
feStatiOns can be managed by follow
ing up these methods, and it will not
require much additional expense or a
great deal of extra work to protect the
trees. In making this statement 1t Is
assumed that the orchard is being
protection from the codling moth and
other injurious insects and diseases,
and it is improbable that these results
can be brought about in neglected Or
chards or where the owners do not
practice the best horticultural methods
in handling their growing trees.

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
Jected Is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record OF success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Valuable New Cement,

curry with three parts of powdery cop.
per precipitated from sulphate solu.
ton by zinc. When applied, the ANAL.
gam and the metal parts to be united
are heated to 100 or 100 degrees F.
Aside from its use as cement, the
amalgam is stated to be an easily work
ed composition for various uses, as it
can be hammered, rolled, shaped under
die, or softened in boiling water suf-
f1ciently for making casts, and 1t takes

riety. Hens win lay little or no eggs
during the fall and early winter, while
they are melting. Well-matured pull
lets, however, should lay fairly we'll
during this period, so that an imme-
date return is realized from the in
veStment. The purchasing of pullets
in the fall is preferable in most cases
to purchasing day-old chicks or to
Matching chicks in the spring. Usual
ly there is little space available for
the raising of chicks, and, moreover,
many city jewellers have had no expert
ence in raising them. Under these
conditions the results are apt to be
very poor. Matching and rearing chicks
also neceSsitates broody hens for this
purpose, or else investing money in
artificial apparatus such as incubators
and broOders. Such an investment is
often too great to prove profitable with
the average small flock If chicks are
raised, they must be fed throughout
the summer and no return will be OBJ
tanned until the pullets begin to lay in
the fall, except that the males can be
eaten or sold.
Buying New Stock.
When pullets are to be purchased, 1t
is well if possible to go to some farm
er or poultryman who may be known
to the prospective purchaser. In some
cases it may pay to make arrange
ments with the farmer to raise the de-
sired number of pulletS at an agreed
price. Where the householder does not
have an opportunity to go into the
country for his pullets, he can often
pick them out among the live poultry
shipped into the city to be marketed.
The advice of some one who knows
poultry should be sought in making
such purchase. to make sure that pull
lets or young hens are obtained, and
that the stock is healthy. Often the
local poultry associations are glad to
help the prospective poultry keeper to
get stock by putting him in communi-
cation with some of its members hay
ing stock for sale. Sometimes the
local board Of trade or chamber of
commerce is glad to help to bring to-
gether the prospective purchaser and
the poultry raiser.

City Boy Hears Better,

Our recruiting officers have made an
interesting discovery in gaging the
relative fitness of city and country
boys for service in the army and navy,
according to the Popular Science
Monthly for February. City boys have
better ears.
From the Washington records of the
Marine corps come the assertion that
only one boy in five among those re-
cruited in quiet neighborhOods has the
acuteness of hearing possessed by the
average dweller in noisy town. The
reflections on the ground of defective
hearing were in the ratio of five to one
in favor of "city ears"
The surgeons and scientists assume
that the quiet Of country districts
tends to weaken, through disuse, the
nerves in the ear, while the constant
clamor Of the city, really keeps the
aural nerves responsive.
