It seems that the general public IL

general public takes its pen In hand,
1t will write.
The evidence of this Is the flood
of mail that pours daily into the
camp of Gene Tunney. challenger
for the worlds heavyweight title.
Old buddles from the service wish
him luck; plain fight bugs wish
him luck; sweet young things who
are certain that he is their ideal,
and they were just made for him,
wish him luck. Some OF them send
their telephone numbers.
All kinds of advice pours In on
Tunney. Some Of It's is amusing
Most of It is worthless. All kinds
Of charms are sent to him. He has
at least 500 four-leafed clovers in
camp. They are becoming a glut
on the market. Scented handker-
chiefs, little medailions. rings, foun-
tain pens and variety of Junk ar.
rives here every day. 1t would re-

Poison from srowntaII Moth,

Although a million dollars year
is now being spent in New England
to- fight the browntail and gypsy
moths, no progress is being made
against them. and It is believed to be
only a matter of time when these
pests will be spread all over the
country. Unless vigilantly kept down
by poison sprays, etc, they are like
ly to be serious menace to the
health of the people, as well as to the
trees.
It is found that the tiny hairs that
are shed by the catapillars in such
quantities are highly injurious to the
human system. These almost micro
scopic hairs float in the air and are
taken into the lungs with the breath
1t was atfirst supposed that their bad
effects were due to the mechanical ir-
ritation they caused, but is now
known that they contain a specific
poison which enters into the blood
and breaks down the red corpuscles.
thus producing dangerous disease.
Many men have been forced to give
up the. work of fighting the browntaiIs
because they have been made so sick.

VARIETIES OF pAHLIAs.

Some writers declare the dahlia
does not flower as freely as it did
years ago. No doubt these writers
are giving their experience, but if we
were to judge by the flowers Of this
plant that come to our own florists,
they flower as well in this vicinity as
they ever did. OF late years so popU-
lar have dahlia flowers become, that
acres of them are grown by single
growers, and dozens of growers have
several acres each, and supply flow
ers to a single city. In southern New
Jersey the growing of the dahlia for
the Philadelphia market is quite fea-
ture. They are in bloom from Septem-
Der until 1t freezes, and every day
thousands of flowers are cut and ship
ped to the commission houses, and
these houses dispose of them far and
wide, and at price that pays the
growers well. And besides the money
they receive for flowers. there are
the roots to sell later, a branch that
many consider profitable aside from
the selling Of flowers. To those who,
like the writer, have been familiar
with dahlias for half century, the
collections of today are marvellous.
There are grown no less than half a
dozen distinct types of flowers. There
are the single Powered ones which
were the first of all to be introduced,
and which in their many colors are
marvels of beauty today. Then there
is what is called the collariette dab
liza, the flowers of which the nearly,
but not quite, single. Next come the
! old fayorites, the double Powered
ones, and of these two kinds could be
made, for while some have flowers al
most as round as ball, others are
fiat faced, and with pointed petals, or
more properly fiorets, each petal" as
some term them, being perfect flow
er in itself.
There are, too, what are called by
florists, decorative dahlias. These
have not flowers as large as the old
style sorts, and In appearance have
some resemblance to tho Japanese
anemones. They are excellent for
use on a table, cut with good length
of stem and placed in vase of water.
The cactus dahlia is now fairly well
known, and Is curiosity In its way.
In many respects the flowers are not
unlike a chrysanthemum. the head of
fiorets being so full of them. Dahlias
will grow in good garden soil where
there is enough moisture without its
being soggy. Plant the tubers inches
deep but do not cover them at first
more than 2 inches, gradually filing
it all in after the plants are well
above ground.
