SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE.

In loving remembrance of our dear
brother, Private Joseph Perks, who
died of wounds received in action on
November 4th, 1918, aged % years.
Across the deep blue sea,
Somewhere in France, on foreign soil
Sleeps there within a silent grave,
One who is so dear to us;
So bravely did he die,
Far away from those who loved him,
Where he could not say good bye.
Dearest Joe how we miss you,
This world will never, never know,
If tears could only bring you home,
You would have been here long ago
A star of gold hangs in our window,
Though our grief-is just the same,
The dearest thing in all this world,
Is just to hear your precious name.
Your dear, sweet face is always with
US,
Your dear, sweet smile, your eyes
so brown,
You cannot come to us, dear Joe,
But some day we will come to you.
Yes, in the Great Beyond, some day,
After all our work is over,
We will then stand face to face,
With our angel soldier brother.
By his devoted brother and sister,
Clarence and Mable.

MRS. TURNER STUDYING BABY
HYGIENE.


"My dear Mrs. Turner" said the
family physician, II can only repeat
what / have said so many times-that
not only must we see to it that the
child properly assimilates its food,
but, equally important, that the waste
products are properly eliminated.
Infant-or Child-hygene plays an
immense part at this day. The proper
feeding of children is TO
day an exact science and it has
brought with it the knowledge of how
to keep the child's alimentary tract
in the proper condition. Have you
noticed how many physicians now
specialize in children's diseases!
Those men have at their command
all the treatises on the maladles OF
infancy and childhood. Naturally
they have the advantage over the
general practitioner. But, do you
think the specialist has more success
in treating the children than has the
physician who brought them into the
world; who day in and day out sees
them, watches them and notices all
their little individual pecularities?
The Specialist comes in as an out
slider and has to learn of these things.
The family physician knows them"
One of the best known physicians
in this country puts the matter OF
sanitation of the alimentary canal in
to a terse sentences--Clean out, Clean
up and keep clean Surely what is
true about the grown-ups is still more
so in regard to children. The grown
ups can think for themselves. But
! 10 a h Lha
Food that may suit one child may be
absolutely unfit for another, the ice
cream cone, the tempting watermelon
the ever to be desired green apple,
these and many more cause the woe,
which may be soothed by remedies
that cannot be given to the infant or
small child, such as Castor Oil most
nauseating old fashioned remedy.
Now, to tell the truth, very rarely
give Castor Oil. For years and
years, in my own family as well as
in outside practice, | give Fletcher's
| Castoria and | know of scores of 9th
er physicians doing likewise. You
ask why? Well | have had nearly
thirty years experience with it, that
| is why. Experience teaches. You
Mrs. Tanner, are still young and have
only your first baby to worry over
and because his little stomach is out
of keller you are scared. Now, just
do as tell you. Give him Fletcher's
Castora as directed and you will find
that your boy will be very comfy"
"But Doctor" broke in Mrs. Tan
ner, "are you sure there's nothing in
furious in Fletcher's Castoria 2"
"Why my dear Mrs. Tanner right on
the wrapper of every bottle you will
find the formula. And since you are
of such an inquiring turn of mind, if
you will some day come over to my
Office will read to you what the text
books say about these ingredients
and explain it to you in every day
lingo"
| The Doctors candid talk convinced
Mrs. Tanner that Fletcher's Castoria
was the remedy for her to keep in the
| house and any other mother who
takes the trouble to ask her physician
will receive the same advice.

friend, Major M. Clayton Thrush, of
Philadelphia, now of the Medical Ser
vice of the U. S. Army in France,
stating that he had received orders
to sail for home, and expected to ar
rive in Philadelphia last week. His
friends here would be pleased to see
him in Charles Town shortly. The
Major is another Charles Town boy
that has made good. Leaving his
splendid practice which he had built
up in Philadelphia, at the outset of
the war volunteered in the Medical
Department of the army, and by
faithful attendance to his duties and
by reason of his ability in his profess
sion, he rapidly rose to the rank of
Major, and has filled some of the
most important commands of the
Hospital Service in France.

there was not death among them

JEFFERSON COUNTY FARM
NOTES.
Apple Seab.

Several inquiries are coming in to
this office with reference to apple
scab. Ccab is identified by small,
rough, round spots about one eight
inch diameter They are a very
dark brown color. They may be par
TALLY scratched off with the thumb
nail. Scab appears about the mid
die of May showing plainly in a
month, and spreads until August.
Weather conditions caused it to be
prevalent, and might tend to check it
some. Spray will prevene further
spreading. Use pounds blue stone,
pounds lump lime and so gallons
of water. Dissolve the blue stone in
water, slack the lime and make thin
paste. Pour together into tank and
add water to SO gallons. This will
also control sooty blotch and fly speck
fungus which, if weather conditions
are ideal. for development will cause
as much damage as scab.
Cabbage Worms and Maggots.
Many questions continue to come
to this Office relative to cabbage mag
gots in the roots. We note that be-
sides the tarred paper described a
few weeks ago that crude carbolic
emulsion is recommended in small
gardens. To one gallon of water add
one pint of crude carbolic acid and
one poud laundry soap. To this
stock solution add 80 parts of water.
That is to one pint of solution add 80
pints of water. Pour in place where
cabbage is to be planted and around
roots every z to 10 days.
The cabbage worms may be pre-
vented by using helebore or pyrethen
in a powdered form mixed with -four
or dust. Spray will run off cabbage
leaves unless rosin is used as stick
err The above is not so poisonous and
will stick better.
