DOWNING STREET TO AGAIN BECOME SOCIETY CENTER
Vigorous Mir. Baldwin Anti thesis To Suffering Mir.
 BOnar Law

LONDON, June 3O.--(By Associated Press.)-Just as the White House got back into the social whirl Of Washington when the sick and weary Mir. Wilson turned it over to the wig orous MT. Harding. so number Ten Downing Street is expected to take on a new life now that the younger MT. Baldwin has replaced the quieter and suffering Mir. Bonar Law. Ten Downing Street socially, however, is no White' House. London's lords and ladies look to Buckingham Palace as the center of that phase of life. But Ten Downing Street is a spoke in the social wheel, and because of pc culiar circumstances, that spoke has not been bearing it's share of the so- cial burden these many months.
 Ten Downing Street is the official home of Britains prime minister and as such it has part to play, and a prominent one. in those offshoots of political life that go by the name of official receptions.

THE pLAGUE OF INSECTS

A recent article in the daily papers recorded the fact that out in the Pa cific coast states, oregon and Wash ington, that the caterpillars were so numerous that they had interfered with traffic on the railroads. Ala hama has never had such an infes- tation, although last year they be- came great pest in Birmingham, and it will be interesting to note that even this early they are making their appearance. No efforts seem to have been made last year, in Birmingham at least, to combat this pest, and 1t is almost q sure thing that they are going to be bad this season, and sim ply for the reason that no construc- tive preventative measures were eX- ercised the past season The cater pillar pest can only be controlled by cooperative movement; in short, when a city becomes infested with this pest, it IS really necessary that some cooperative measures among all property owners, or by the city, be exercised in order to economically handle this pest. A number of cases of manifestation have already been reported to the writer from Birming- ham property owners, which would indicate that unless some preventa- tive measures are taken that great many trees, which are the pride of Birmingham. will be seri- ously injured, if not altogether de- stroyed.
 One measure of control, not, how ever, positively efficient, is to band the trees, either with sticky fly paper, or a preparation known as Tree Tangle Foot. This barrier pre- vents the caterpillars from crawl ing up the tree, which is the most common mode of infestation. The main factor. however, in controlling the caterpillar, or other insects, and 70 Ia liberal spraying of the trees with some fungicide, such as limesulphur or Bordeaux mixture. It is really necessary that preventative measures be resorted to if you hope to have your trees escape from rust, other fungi or insects, which are almost sure to attack and possibly destroy your trees this season.
 The writer of this article will un- dertake at any time to give any one such information as may be needed to ward off the trouble indicated in this article.

Wash Kidneys
If They Hurt
Take Salts to flush Kidneys II
Back pains you or Bladder

Flush your kidneys with salts coca
sionally, says noted authority, who
tells us that too much meat and rich
food may form uric acid, which almost
paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts TO
expel it from the blood. They become
sluggish and weaken; then you suffer
with q dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full Of sediment,
the channels often get sore and irri-
tated, obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush
off the body's urinous waste, get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days, and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts Is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations TO flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys; also 20
neutralize the acids in urine SO it no
longer irritates, thus often ending blad-

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN
IN PEACH ORCHARDS
MUST BE ENFORCED NOW IF
CURCULIO IS TO BE Sue
CESSFULLY HANDLED.

The Government and State Labora-
tory at Fl. Valley has issued the fol-
lowing warning to peach growers: :
The first step in controlling the cur
culio in the 1923 peach crop should
be undertaken immediately by means
| of a thorough cleanup and burning
campaign to destroy the adult beetles
in Information. While the curculio in
festation in middle Georgia was not
heavy last season sufficient number
of adults are now passing the winter
in and near orchards to cause heavy
loss TO the peach crop this season, un-
less control measures are timely and
ljudiciously enforced.
The favorite places of Information
for adult curculios are in woodlands
and wastelands adjoining peach or
chards and in dense vegetation along
ditch banks, fence rows and terrace
rows in and near orchards. They also
frequently hibernate under pruning
piles, rubbish, etc. About the time the
peach blooms these adults start feav-
ing their alternating quarters to feed
and deposit eggs in the small fruits.
Peach growers are advised to I'M
dertake this cleanup, burning and
orchard sanitation campaign just as
soon as suitable weather permits. Our
experimental data shows that the ma
jority of the adults hibernate within
three hundred yards of the orchard,
and growers are urged to restrict the
burning in wooded areas adjoining
orchards to that distance. This can
be done by brushing back the rubbish
with a pronged stick and Lighting the
"windroll," allowing the fire to sweep
towards the orchard. In this way for
est destruction will be prevented. Sc
lect a dry period for the burning, as
sweeping fire that will burn the I'M
der growth close to the ground is
highly desirable.
Special attention should be given to
the cleaning up of all ditch banks, ter
race rows and fence rows in the or
chards. The vegetation along these
can often be burned, and this would
destroy many beetles. All pruning
piles or other rubbish in or near peach
orchards should be destroyed before
the blooming season.
Experiments conducted to deter
mine the efficiency of burning over
woodlands or wastelands adjoining
peach orchards show concfusively that
many curculios are destroyed by the
burning. In one case burning reduced
the adult curculios in Information over
two hundred per cent. The labora-
tory strongly recommends this work
during the next month or SIX weeks.

$1,000 CASH PRIZE
FOR WEEvIL CONTROL
CONTEST FOR BEST METHOD
TO FIGHT PEST ANNOUNC-
ED BY SPINNERS.

The New York Commercial an
nounces an offer by the National
Council of American Cotton Manufac-
turers of cash prize of $1,000 for the
most valuable scientific contribution
looking to the control of the cotton
boil weevil"
The contest, which is said TO be
open to any r1ethod, new or old, look
ing to control of the cotton pest, will
be decided at the close OF the 1928
season.
Announcement of the offer of the
manufacturers council, coming at a
time when every energy in the south
is being directed toward the matter
of curbing the weevil, is of additional
interest, it is said, in that it demon
strated the cooperative spirit of north
ern manufacturers in the matter of
solving Dixie's greatest economic
problem.
Spinners in Charge.
The Commercial stated that a COM
mittee of manufacturers has been
named to have supervision over the
contest. 1t consists of Captain Ellison
A. Smythe, chairman; ]. R. Kinsler,
Bradford Knapp, John M. Parker and
David R. Coker. These are under
stood to be members of the National
Council of American Cotton Manu-
facturers, which, it was learned in At
lanta, is a Joint organization OF the
American Cotton Manufacturers,
largely a southern association, with a
membership of northern and eastern
textile leaders.
The following considerations in Sc
lecting the winning plan were publish
cd as having been adopted by the COM
mittee:
/. The extent of the cotton belt in
which the method is applicable. !,
2. Cost OF the method and simplici-
ty of equipment required.
3. Does the method lend itself to
use by the class of labor available in
the cotton belt?
T. Bearing of climatic conditions in
different parts OF the belt on effective
ness of the control measures.
s. Practicability of the method un-
der adverse climatic conditions follow
ing its application.
g. Does the method tend to increase
yield aside from limiting weevil in
jury.
T. What relation does the method
have to other insects, especially those
affecting cotton?
8. Does the method look to exter-
mination of the weeyil or to reduc-
ton of its injury?
9. The extent to which the success
of the method has been demonstrated,
both as to length of time in any one
place or to a number of places.
Captain Ellison A. Smythe, of Pei
yer, S. c., is chairman of the contest
committee.

II SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR


Just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says a noted skin spe-
cialist This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery eczema,
that nothing has ever been found to
take its place.
Because of its germ-destroying prop
critics, it quickly subdues the itching,
cools the irritation and heals the eczema
right up, leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pin-
pies or roughness.
You do not have to wait for improve
nent. 1t quickly shows. You can get
a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur
at any drug store.

BIRDS AND BEASTS
TO ESCORT TROOPS
u. S. SOLDIERS WILL BRING
VARIOUS SOUVENIRS, FROM
DARLINGS TO DASCHUNDS.

COBLENZ.-The American trans
port St. Mihiel will look good deal
ike Noah's ark when she sails from
Antwerp with the last OF the Ameri-
can forces in Germany if the officers
and men are allowed to carry all the
queer animals and merchandise they
have accumulated in the idle and ian
ciful hours of the last four years.
The extent and variety of these pos
sessions only began to dawn upon
them during their hurried preparations
for the homeward voyage and some
are expressing the fear that their men,
agerie will have to be left on the
Rhine.
Besides German girls as wives the
men have acquired many strange crea-
lures ranging from monkeys to Rhine
fish. The exact number of German po-
lice dogs in the outfit is unknown but
are multitudinous. and in addition
there are numerous dachshunds, tur-
rets, monkeys and songbirds.
OF the inanimate objects there are
queer little music boxes fixed IN the
bottom of beer stems that, when
properly worked, make noises like
birds: there are weird collections OF
postcards, antique pictures and all va
rieties OF carved pipes and great sup
plies OF carpets and civilian clothes,
the latter including queer-shaped hats
and silk underwear bought at ridicu-
lousy low prices in Cologne, togeth-
er with furs and other odds and ends.
All these are intended either as
gifts 10 the homefolks or in the case
OF these men who have married while
on the Rhine to lend comfort to the
new homes they are planning in the
United States as only few expect to
remain in the army after their return.
Getting all this dufle aboard the
St. Mihiel has become great prob
lem. but all in ali it is certain the St.
Mihiel will be fully loaded.
The majority are pulling up by. the
roots the life they have learned to
love. 1t is not regiment but a colo
nv that is being moved.
There will remain for a time fifty
officers and men to straighten out the
records, dispose of property and set
tie claims. Major General Allen and
Col. William W. Harris, chief OF staff
of the army of occupation, probably
will head this rear guard. They will
close down the model farm, where
cattle, hogs, chickens, rabbits, fruits
and vegetables have been raised and
to which was attached large dairy.
