ClTY'S GLORY LONG DEPARTED
Ruins Testify to Existence of Once
Mighty Metropolis in South
eastern Africa.

In n far-off corner of southeastern
Africa are hidden the ruins of a once
mighty city, called in present. times
the Zimbabwe, or buildings OF stones.
The more fanciful of the scientists de-
clare that the time of Moses may have
seer the building of these eSumbling
walls, but the weight Of evidence
seems to prove that the city is only
about ten centuries old. Whatever the
true dates of the city's history, certain
ly its ruins today are in appearance
very old, very moss hung and very pic
turesque.
There is nothing sad about the slip
ping away of these relics of the past,
so gradually they have sunk into the
soil and broken down with the pres
sure of time and weather. Their day
Of glory and prosperity was over some
centuries ago, and they rest dreamily
in the sunshine. Bright flowers deck
the walls as of trying to hold the re-
naming stones together; and tall trees
spread their branches wide to temper
the heat of the midday sun and shell
ter the stones from the chill of the eve
ming.

YOU NEED NOT SUFFER WITH
BACKACHE AND RHEUMATISM

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They are the filters, the puri-
fers of your blood. If the poisons which
enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
patism, s~ciatica, lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not a "patent medicine" nor
a new discovery" For 200 years they

have been a standard household remedy.
They are the pure, original imported
HARLEM Oil your great-grandmother
used, and are perfectly harmless. The
healing, soothing oil soaks into the cells
and lining of the kidneys and through
the bladder, driving out the poisonous
germs. New life, fresh strength and
health will com as you continue this
treatment. When completely restored to
your usual vigor, continue taking a cap
sule or two each day. They will keep
you in condition and prevent a return of
the disease.
Do not delay a minute. Delays are
especially dangerous in kidney and blad-
der trouble. All reliable druggists sell
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules.
They will refund the money if not as rep

at Fort Wayne.

Under the above heading the Detroit
Free Press, among other things says;
''The theory is that soldiers whose feet
are in good condition can walk further
and faster than soldiers who have corns
and bunions incased in rawhide."
The Plattsburg Camp Manual advises
men in training to shake Foot-Ease in
their shoes each morning.
One war relief committee reports, of all
the things sent out in their Comfort Bags
or exits" Aliens Foot-Ease received
the most praise from the soldiers and
men of the navy. 1t is used by American,
French and British troops, because it
takes the Friction from the Shoe and
freshens the feet. There is nofoot COM
forter equal to Aliens Foot-Ease, the
a~ntiseptic, healing powder to be shaken
into the shoes and sprinkled in the foot
bath, the standard remedy for over 25
years for hot, tired, aching, perspiring,
smarting, swollen, tender feet, corns,
bunions, blisters or callouses.

Of this disease, under Michigan con-

has borne a diseased crop. The TO-
tation which is necessary for other
reasons will eliminate all danger from
this score.
Sound seed tubers free from rot,
wounds, bruises, scab, or other blem-
ish, disinfected in either formaldehyde
or corrosive sublimate, will give n crop
practically free from black leg. In
the season of 1915, observations which
were made in the upper speninsula
showed that seed tubers carefully
sorted and treated gave less than one
tenth of n per cen Of black leg.
Seed tubers from the same car,
plapted without care, gave a field

while on the sprayed trees there wal
no scab but some spray injury.
II is not possible to tell just why
the results with busting were so much
more satisfactory in 1917 than In pre-
vlous years. This success may have
been due TO one or all of the follow
Ing factors-more efficient application
Of dust, finer materials or more timely
application with relation TO infection
periods.
Better results were obtained at Nor
rice and Muir, where much of the DUST
ing vas done when the trees were wet
with either rain or dew than at Beld-
ing, where the trees were always dry
when material was applied. Several
growers, however. have secured salts
factory results by busting when the
foliage was dry.
1t is very doubtful II the extra APP
plication Of dust made in July had
any beneficial effect as weather condi-
tons were not favorable for scab in
lection before the August application.
Comparative Costs.
Dust can be applied in less than
one-half the time required for the ac-
tual operation of spraying, exclusive
Of time necessary for refilling sprayer
tank. The cost Of material for dust
ing has been more than for spraying.

tree and total cost of labor and ma

Insects Follow Balloons.

Lieut.. Depret-Bixio of the French
aviation service writes that many
insects follow captive balloons in
their ascent. He has seen flies go
as high as 2,970 feet, after which
they die. Grasshoppers cling to the
basket of the balloon until the air be-
comes too rarefed for them, when they
let go and fall. He says the swallows

of dusts, the best formulate to use and

chard conditions.
Materials Used.
The sulphur used in this work was
very fine, the manufacturers guaran-
teeing that 80 per cent of ii would
pass through a 200-mesh screen and
some of that used in 1917 was finer
still. The arsenate of lead was also
exceedingly fine, one manufacturer
stating that his product would pass
through the finest screen obtainable.
In some of the work mixtures were
used which contained some inert filler
or diluent such as gypsum or hydrated
lime.
The busting has all been done in d.
rect comparison with the standard d.
lutte lime-sulphur and a~rsenate of lead.
What were the results?
In 1915 scab was not controlled very
successfully by either busting or
spraying. A large percentage of the
scabby fruit vas caused by late infec-
tiOns. The weather conditions were
very favorable for scab development
after June IL. If extra applications
had been made better control of scab
would probably have been secured.
This brings out the occasional need
for an extra treatment in seasons of
frequent rains. The results at har-
vest showed the sprayed trees to have
10 per cent less of scabby fruit than
the busted trees. Other factors prob
ably affecting the results I'm the busted
plot were ineXperience with the dust
ing method, a buster too small for sat
isfactory work and the application OF
dust from one side OF the trees only.
In 1916, busting failed almost en-
tirely to control apple scab. The con-
troll of scab on the sprayed plot Of
Starks was very poor. This is pos
sibly explained by the fact that the
pink" application was made before
the blossom buds had all separated in
the clusters. The control in the other
sprayed plots was very much better
than in the busted plots. The periods
of infection were all in the early part
of the season. In 1915 they we're all
late in the season.
The busting method gave very sat
isfactory results in 1917. The results
equaled those secured in the sprayed
plots. The season was like that of
1916 In that the infection periods were
all early in the summer. The control
Of scab or the fruit was very satisfac-
tory in most plots. The condition Of
foliage in the busted plot at Muir was
much better than on the sprayed trees
because of the spray injury on the lat
ter. At Bedding there was little diff
ference In the condition of the foliage
