A couple of good doses will relieve
a sick headache and make you feel

a wonderful help to us.
Black Draught has saved us many
good dollars in doctor bills. as a
great deal OF sickness comes from
constipation, and torpid liver which
can be relieved praise it TO all my
friends.
Torpid or slow acting liver is the
commonest form of liver trouble met
with in America. The liver does not
do its duty In helping the digestion OF
food and regulating the bowels.
Thedfordfs Black In a1ght has been
found very valuable remedy for de-

SPRAY FOR PEACH LEAF CURL
Diseased Foliage Characterised by
Thickened, Distorted and Wrin-
tsIed Condition.
Ry S. P. HOLLIsTER, Connecticut T1x-
pertinent Station.)

By S. P. HOLLISTER, Connecticut ES-
pertinent Station.)
Peach leaf curl has been very preva-
lent in many sections this season. The
diseased foliage is characterized by q
thicl1ened, distorted and WrinkIed con-
dition Of the foliage. The affected
leaves vary in color, sometimes being
grayish, or they may become bright
colored. The effect of the disease is
to weaken the trees because the func-
ton of the foliage is impaired. On
badly affected trees the fruit itself
may drop.
The control is by thorough spraying
with lime-sulphur solution in the
spring, making the application at least
two weeks before the buds start
growth. 1t is too late to do anything
for affected trees this year. The grow
ar who is now having trouble with the
leaf curl can do nothing but resolve
to spray carefully next spring before
the leaves come out.

GREATEST GROWTH or TREES
Manner of Cutting Back Must Be Stud.
led to Preserve Symmetrical De-
Velopment Desired.

It is well known that orchard trees
in general tend to make their greatest
growth near the extremity of the lead
ing branches. In other words, the
leaders are the strongest growers and
it is frequently difficult task to slim
ulate lateral branches to grow suffi-
GENTLY to preserve q symmetrical de-
yeiopment in the tree. The manner
therefore, of cutting back the annual
growth on the various parts Of the
tree must be carefully studied in or
der to preserve the symmetrical de-
velopment desired. In removing the
annual growth from pyranidal trees
it should be the aim to cut back to an
inside bud each year. This will tend
to make the growth Of TIE tree more
upright and more compact, While with
Il yase-formed tree it should be the
object to cut TO an outside lad each
year.

ITALY HAS COUNCIL
TO Speed UP War
Premier Is Determined to Follow
Energetic Policy in Push
ing the War.

Now that the Italian cabinet has q
working majority sufficiently numer-
ous and powerful to combat antiwar
intrigue both inside and outside par
lament Premier Orlando is deter
mined to follow an energetic war pol
icy. In fact war council has been
formed in Italy composed Of the pre-
mier, the minister's Of foreign affairs,
war, navy, arms and munitions, treas
ury and another member of the cab
met chosen by the premier, besides the
two chiefs OF staff of the army and
navy.
Executive measures connected with
the war and having an urgent charac-
ter will be decided in future by The
war council instead of the cabinet, and
considerable loss of time will thus be
saved with great advantage to the sue
cess of military operations heretofore
delayed. as their approval depended
on long discussions in cabinet coun-
ellis.
Premier Orlando recently confirmed
in the senate his declaration in the
house that no compromise was possible
with those who opposed the war, as
any attempt to weaken the resistance
of the country amounted to treason,
and antiwar activity exclusively bene-
fitted the enemy.
An energetic war policy would be
impossible in a country like Italy un-
less the government were backed by
the people. So long as the provision
ing of the country is assured and the
encouraging announcement made in
the senate by the minister of food Sig
nor Crespi, who said that special agree
ments had been concluded with the
United States and the Argentine Re-
public whereby they placed at the al
lies disposal q considerable portion of
their wheat crops, affords the best
proof that the question of food short
age has been satisfactorily solved,
there is no danger of Italy's elimina-
ton from among the allies. The re-
cent insidious Austro-German peace
proposals have not deceived Italians,
who realize that their acceptance
would be worse than defeat.

Of us.
