TREATING WOUNDS OF TREES
Park Board Of Washington City Gives
Some Valuable information on
important Subject.

The Washington park board com
missioners has issued the following
bulletin regarding the treatment Of
tree wounds
Tree wounds, due TO removal Of
large limbs or to injury from any
cause should be promptly dlslnfected
and treated with a waterproof cover
ing. An exposed surface Is subject
TO attack by fungi and wood-boring
insects unless properly cared for AS
soon as a cut Is made the wound
should be treated with a dislnfectant,
such as common creosote, which will
penetrate and sterillze the wood. This
may be applied with a small brush.
After creosoting, the wood should be
protected from moisture by means Ot
a heavy coat Of coal tar. Instead OF
using the materials separately, they
may be combined, using one-thlrd
creosote and two-thirds coal tar. In
case cracking occurs, surface should
be recoated. pure white lead and
linseed oil paint is sometimes en-
ployed for tree wounds and, while
not as satisfactory as the coal tar
creosote paint, it is a good deal bet
ter than nothing. Ordinary grating
wax will give good results for small
wounds.

Speedy Relief
From Habitual
Constipation

The liver is the largest and most i'm.
portant organ In the body, and when the
liver refuses to act II causes constipa-
ton, biliousness. headaches, indigestion,
gas, sour stomach, bad breath. dysen-
terry, diarrhoea pains in back ard under
shoulder blades and under ribs on right
side. These symptoms lead to colds, In
duenza or other serious troubles unless
corrected Immediately.
An inactive liver places an extra bur-
den on the kidneys which overtaXes them
and causes the blood to absorb and car
ry into the system the impurities that the
liver and kidneys have failed 70 elimi-
nate.
When you treat the liver alone. you
treat only a third OF your trouble, and
that is why you have to take purgatlves
every few nights. Calomel or other ordi-
nary laxatives do not go far enough II
you would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver. you would put
your entire system In order and frequent

Where Bugs Hibernate.
The bureau OF entomology offers the
following information: The chinch
bugs spend the winter in clumps Of
bunch grass and under dead leaves
and rubbish. In the spring they
emerge and fly to fields of young
wheat, where they lay their eggs on
Z the root tops and stems. When the
wheat commences to ripen and dry,
the young bugs leave the wheat fields
in armies and walk-for most of them
cannot fiy--to the cornhelds, where
they do the greatest damage.
The fact that they make the migra-
ton from the wheat to the corn by
walking gives the farmer his oppor-
tunity to check the invasion by pour
ing road oil along the bottom of a
shallow furrow dug across the line of
march. Deep holes should be dug
every % feet along the furrow on the
side nearest the wheat to trap the
bugs.
