lished in the infested are and they are
helping to solve the problem.
I'm addition to the work OF these
parasites we have established in the
! western part of the State the Ca!osome
beetle, which was observed in large
numbers in towns where large colonies
of the gypsy moth We're present. In
cases where the caterpillars were
abundant. as many as 400 beetles were
found daily under the burlaps. Since
they feed upon the pupae as we'll as
upon the caterpillars, the amount of
! benefit derived is very great. although
it is difficult to figure the percentage Of
larvae killed.
The Flacherie or Wit disease is also
found to have spread generally through
out the moth infested territory in the
western part of the state. This dis
case in combination with the cold win
Ter and the parasites and beetles have
caused a greater mortality than ever
before secured in any one year of the
work. l am frank to say that the work
had never been more thoroughly COM
prehensive and better prosecuted than
at the present time.
Our organization is smaller, the men
are giving greater study to the problems
and more real work of a permanent ma
ture is being done. The foremen and
scouts are yearly acquittirg themselves
as men in whom confidence and public
trust may be placed and there is a bet
ter and more wholesome understanding
OF the aims and purposes OF the work.
The crews started work on the first
o. January. and the scouting continued
lnti the eggs Matched. AS soon as the
,egs Matched and the caterpillafs be-
IAN TO crawl. spraying was begun and
continued until the middle OF August,
With excellent results. In the spraying
opera tons. we used eight tons of ar
enate of lead, and millions Of cater
pillars were destroyed.
In the month of July, began the
burlapping of .rees using the same
burlap of the year before which had
been saved and carefully rolled an 1
packed away. These burlaps were very
carefully attended to by the men during
the caterpillar season. Sixtyseven
thousand trees were burlapped and &c.
25s caterpillars were taken from under
the burlap band and destroyed.
During the scouting operations, L.
235.94 egg clusters were found and de-
stroyed. In this work, 56 gallons Of
creosote were used in painting the egg
clusters.
With a continuance of 1.-The methods
! already introduced and with the pur-
| chase Of a high powered auto sprayer
with the improved nozzles and hose
couplings the work will be far more
thoroughly done. When the elm leaf

the future. then I am confident that
the results derived from such machine
will be fully appreciated by the citizens
Of the State. BY being able to throw

RECAINS LONG
LOST APPETITE
A WiIiamstown Business Man Tells
How He Overeame His Nervous
Indigestion

Napoleon once said that an army
fights on it's stomach. This state
ment holds true in the industrial
army where the struggle for exist
ence is sometimes as keen as on the
battlefield. Anyone whose days and
nights arc aggravated by the pain Of
indigestion loses the power Of con-
.centration and often becomes useless
to his employer and burden to HIM
self.
Nervous indigestion is generally
accompanied by long periods Of in
tense stomach distress owing to the
accumulation of gases from ferment-
ed food. Dizziness and headaches
follow and night, instead Of bringing
rest, is marked by tossing sleepless-
ness.
The revolt Of the stomach in such
cases is due to the rebellion Of ill-fed
nerves. The intricate nervous struc-
ture of the body obtains its nourish-
ment from the blood. If the blood is
thin the nerves suffer. Build up the
blood with a tonic that contains all
the elements necessary for strength
and the nerves are generally benefit
ed.
You may save many days and
nights Of misery and suffering by
profiting by the experience Of Mr.. w.
NJ. Field, a salesman of AZ Linden
street. Williamstown, Mass. who
says:
II had stomach trouble for five
years. complicated most OF that time
with neuritis. Treatment failed to
relieve the pain and the strong medi-
cines took appear to have aggravat-
ed the stomach disorders.
AFTER eating it would seem as it
my food was in lump and would
have a sharp pain in my stomach.

spells and would have to sit down or

FRANKLIN DOLIER, PHILADEI.- PHIA MERCHANT, ELECTED AS NATIONAL COMMANDER OF AMERICAN LEGION; ENDORSE BONUS PROPOSAL.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 12.-(P)- Franklin Dolier. merchant of Phila- delphia, and veteran of the late war with considerable overseas service to his credit, was today elected as na- tional commander of the American Legion for the next year by the le- zion convention now in session here. The new commander has splendid record in the service and his election was accomplished without serious difficulty.
 The legion also voted this after noon to present memorial to con- gress asking that it give serious con- sideration to authorizing the payment of further bonuses for service men. The bonus paid to each discharged service man by the government has heretofore been $60. The legion be- lieves that this sum was insufficient and that the government should make more adequate provision for all form CT soldiers serving in the war.

Wash, Nov. 12.-R)- Officials of the department of justice located here say that they have dis covered evidence that leads them to believe that the Industrial Workers of the World are preparing to launch campaign of propaganda which will extend turnout the entire northwest and possibly all of the western states from their headquarters in this city.
 Unusual activity, they say, has been noticeable at the I. w. w. head quarters here for several weeks where much literature is being made ready for distribution. Many organ izers of the wobblies have been here for instructions and have departed for other districts. A close watch is. being kept on the I. w. w. here and the first signs of break will meet with summary treatment.

FORMER CONSUL FROM HONDURAS

HONDURAS OFFICIAL SHOT AND KILLED AND WIFE DANGER OUSLY WOUNDED BY PERSON AL ENEMIES; BELIEVED TO BE POLITICAL FEUD.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. 12.-(P) pr. Leopold Cordova. former con sul from Honduras to this city. was shot and killed tonight and Mrs. Cordova dangerously wounded on the outskirts of this city. Both of them were left in ditch for dead by the murderers.
 Passersby heard the calls of Mrs. Cordova for assistance and both she and the remains of her husband were brot to the city for disposition. Mrs. Cordova is in a hospital and but faint hopes are entertained for her recovery.
 The present consul representing the Honduras government here says that Cordova has hundreds of bit ter enemies. He regards the shoot ing as the outcome of some political plot.
