How to Kill Plant Lice

Practically all of our common plants,
garden and field crops, and fruit and shade
trees are subject to attack of plant lice
and the writer has noticed that nearly
every gardener has two or three different
kinds. Plant lice are sucking insects and
have to be controlled by contact spraying.
Lice feed mostly on the under side of the
leave SO that the spraying to be effective
must be directed towards that surface and
only those lice whose bodies are actually
hit by the spray are killed; SO that very
careful and accurate spraying in necces-
sary. They reproduce very rapidly and
will get to be quite problem. N;cctin
sulphate 1910, sold under various trade
names, is the most satisfactory spray for
plant lice. Reduced to terms of one gel
Ion of spray, you would use Nicotine Sul-
phate, to IA teaspoonfulls, laundry
soap l ounce. water l gallon.
Whale or fish oil soap when used at the
rate of ID. to or s gallons of water is
very effective. Common laundry SOAP l
ID, to or gallons of water, can also be
used with good results.

Explains Earth's Origin.

Astronomy teaches some strange
things, and none more strange than
that the origin of the earth, is itself
but speci in system that in turn
is but, a speck in the whole. It. is be-
lieved,' and there seems to be abun-
dant scientific proof Of the theory,
that the origin of a system such as
ours is mist of cosmical dust that is
born of a nebua, the latter being
what happens when enough of the
dust is joined in a vast whirling mass.
The Young star contracts so rapidly
that it is soon White hot and of daz-
zling light, such as Sirius. AS it cools
the vapors of calcium and iron appear,
and it becomes yellow. Our sun is
such a star, and another is Arcturus.
Still later it turns red, such as Mira,
and in tine, billions of years, it will
die altogether.

When l first used Doan's l was in agony
with my back and kidneys and believe the
trouble was caused by being on my feet
so much. My back was lame and sore
and l found it very hard to stoop over.
My kidneys were weak and the secretions
highly colored. l heard of Doan's Kid
ney Pills and got few boxes at Cheney's
Drug Store. In a short time they fixed
me up and am glad to say a good word
for a medicine like Doan's. l highly re-
commend them."

NEVER FORGET HOME TOWN.
However Humble, Sentiment En-
shrnes Spots in the Hearts of Its
Sons and Daughters.

1t isn't the fine buildings and the
broad streets, the gorgeous homes and
spacious gardens that count-it's the
sentiment lowering around the spot
that marks the "home town" as the
best place on earth, writes Florence
Webster Long in the indianapolis Star.
II this were not the case, only the big
cities would count in the summing up
of the earth's worthwhile places, And
where is the crossroads town that
hasn't as many boosters as it has resi-
dents? Even the secluded homestead
way off in lonely corner Of the back
woods looms up largely as the center
Of the universe. It's a sort of patri.
etism, it's a brand of native pride and
it's all mixed largely with sentiment
without which life wouldn't be worth
living anyway.
l can remember long ago visiting
school friend whose glowing accounts
of her home had held out the glamor
of a glorious prospect. | can see in
memory that simple little home circle
set amid the humdrum mOnotOny of
small village life, and my surprise as
l contrasted it with my friends tales.
But now I know that the girl was
simply describing things as they
seemed to her, softened by distance,
hallowed by sentiment, and tinged by
the softening influence of a homesick-
ness for the magic spot "home."
