Orchardists in Virginia Think
Smudges Saved Fruit.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LYNCHBURG, Va, March 3O--A
killing frost occurred in this section
Sunday night. A temperature OF 20
degrees was recorded at the local
weather station. In Amherst Coun-
ty, in the peach sections, the tenn
perature dropped as low as 22.5 de-
grees, but commercial orchard own
ers think they were unhurt. 1t seems
certain that the orchards on the
mountains escaped injury, for there
was no frost on the higher attitudes.
In the orchard of A. b. Coate 500
smudges were burned during the low
temperature, and Mr.. Coate said he
believed the artificial heat saved his
crop. He said he could not definitely
say just what the effect of the low
temperature was, but he expressed
the hope and belief that the blooms
were not frozen.
Later peaches are in full bloom
and thf early varieties are now out
quite full.
1t is feared that early plums,
peaches and apricots in the city were
,nipped.

the role of the mysterious servant in

the part sympathetically with a fine

Christlike qualities with which the
author has endowed this unusual char

Robert Clear distinguishes himself
in the role of the profiigate brother
of the rector, whose church is failing

opportunity of his career with the
Herbert players, and he makes the
most of it. The sanctimonious old
bishop is well played by Arthur

his part as the rector as though 1t

Successful treatment Of the first

Reckless extraction Of the milk

teeth to close UP and prevent the

after very carefully, since, II
they become septic, they can
rarely be treated satisfactorily,
and are dangerous, whether they
are reained or lost.
The best precautions are well
arranged diet, attention to gen
eral health and hygiene of the

each feed with a soft piece Of
cotton wrapped around the little
