Hope for Apple Growers
Apple grovers in recent years have
noticed largely increased damage by
the codling moth This pest appears
in the form of a small brownish moth
soon after the young apples have set
Its eggs laid on the side of the fruit
or even on the leaves give rise to
tiny worms which enter the young
apples and develop into full grown
apple worms
The annual loss to apple growers
in the United States from this pest
alone is enormous Such a pest could
not long escape attention from the
scientific sleuths of the Experiment
Stations These workers have tracked
tho beast to its lair watched its hab
its of life and devised weapons for
its destruction
A recent bulletin by the Dela
ware Experiment Station shows that
nearly all damage by the codling
moth can be checked by spraying
with a certain arsenical spray called
Disparcne soon after the blossoms fall
from the trees Applied to trees
it poisons the young insects in
infancy and prevents further damage
to the cop It has also been found a
complete and effective remedy for the
canker worm curculio and other in
sects that attack orchards and work
great havoc therewith
In hi8 bulletin- Entomologist
of the Delaware Station gives
the result or a careful series of ex
periments in which he says Dispa
rene proved to be very much superior
ta pads green and destroyed a larger
percentage of codling moth larvae
than has ever been done ire any simi
lar experiment One thing wfrich1
seems to me to make Dlsparene of
special value is its adhesive quali
ties in spite of very heavy rains it
remained on the trees all summer
The results which we secured from
Disparene were both surprising and
gratifying
Professor J B Smith Entomologist
of the New Jersey Experiment Sta
tion adds nis endorsement in these
words Disparene has proved thor
oughly satisfactory and safe wher
ever used My experience with it
has been so satisfactory this year I
have recommended it widely
Fruit growers are to be congratu
lated that at last a clieap and effec
tive remedy for the codling mpth has
been found The free illustrated
pamphlet on Disparene put out by the
Bowker Insecticide Company of Bos
tou and Cincinnati is a mine of use
ful information and should be in the
hands ot every progressive fruit grow
er We understand the Missouri Val
ley Seed Company St Joseph Mo
ace in a position to supply the
western trade with the
outlook is that through the general use
ot I his insectiefde the apple crop of
the middle west will be much larger
and of a better quality this year than
tor several years past

Dear Mrs Pikkham I have

happiness that I feel like making1 an
exception in this case For two years
every month I would have two days of
severe pain and could find no relief but
one day when visiting- a friend I ran
across Lydia E Pinkhams Vege
table Compound she had used
it with the best results and advised
me to try it I found that it worked
wonders with me I now experience

bottles to bring1 about this wonderful
change I use it occasionally now

A Hard Question
The following tale is told of the

that precarious pastime of askrqgany
small Tjoy or girl in the audience to
ask him a question Dr Ingram was
met by the following Please sir
why did the angels walk up and down
Jacobs ladder when they had wings
It is sad to record that eventhe
London was driven to make the
usual humiliating and miserable
cape by returning What little boy
or girl would like to answer this
No Female Angels
A minister on Long Island has de
clared that there are no female angels
in heaven As he does not disclose
the source of his information the
statement may be open to argument
He is reported to have said to his au
aience
Most peoples idea of an angel is
of a beautiful graceful white robed
female figure with a wing on either
shoulder peacefully floating through
the air 1 want to say there are no
female angels
For Growing Girls
West Pembroke Me March 21
Mrs A L Smith of this place says
that Dodds Kidney Pills are the best
remedy for growing girls Mrs
Smith emphasizes her recommenda
tion by the following experience
My daughter was thirteen years
old last November and it is now two
years since she was first taken with
Crazy Spells that would last a week
and would then pass off In a month
she would have the spells again At
these times she would eat very little
and was very yellow even the whites
of her eyes would be yellow
The doctors gave us no encour
agement they all said they could not
help her After taking one box of
Dodds Kidney Pills she has not had
one bad spoil Of course we contin
ued the treatment until she had used
in all about a dozen boxes and we
still give them to her occasionally
when she is not feeling well Dodds
Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs Smith for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and
sickness and insure a healthy happy
future for them
The man who is afraid of burning
up his wick need not hope to brighten
the world

TRUST QUESTION
CONGRESSMAN HEARST WOULD
HAVE IT INVESTIGATED
RESOLUTIONS FOR COMMITTEE
Evil Effects of the Great Combinations
Recited Means Already Existing to
Curb Trusts Ourht to Be Rigidly En
forced
WASHINGTON D C Representa
tive Hearst of Now York on Friday in
troduced resolutions providing for an
investigation of tho trust cuestlon by
a committee of five members of the
house The resolutions contain ten
clauses reciting the evil effects of
trusts on the country among them be
ing the following
Numerous illegal combinations
known as trusts have been formed to
absorb or eliminate competition and
establish virtual monopolies with a
view to controlling production and
raising the price of their products
Such extortionate trusts as the
beef trust and the coal trust and the
ice trust have arbitrarily increased the
cost of the necessities of life to the
public
Such snecuative trusts as the ship
yards and the steel trust have inflated
their stock to many times its actual
vaiues and sold to the public transfer
ing the peoples money from banks and
legitimate investments into the pock
ets of trust promoters and speculators
Industrial unrest has been foment
ed by the increased cost of living and
by tho consequent necessary efforts of
labor to make its wages keep pace
with the increased cost of living
Such trusts as the steel trust in
spite of the increased cost of living
have ruthlessly cut down the wages of
hundreds of thousands of employes in
order to pay dividends on watered
stock and other trusts have wholly
collapsed throwing hundreds of thou
sands of workmen out of exployment
The purchasing power of the com
munity has been diminished by the ac
tions of the trusts by unsound methods
which have misled the people swin
dled them and robbed them of their
savings
All classes of the community are
being made to feel the evil effect of
of the unrestrained creed and lawless
practices of the trusts
The committee is directed to inform
the house fully on the trust situation
to the end that more effective laws
may be prepared and passed by con
gress regulating and restrictly com
binations The committee is empow
ered to send for persons and papers
An additional resolution states that
It is the sense of this house and it
does recommend that the laws al
ready existing against the trusts be
in the meanwhile enforced by the ex
ecutive branch of this government and
the legal representatives thereof
The resolutions were referred to the
committee on rules
DECISION IS SOUND LAW
Is for the Benefit of All Legitimate
Interests
WASHINGTON The attorney gen
eral being asked concerning the mer
ger decision said
My views of the decision cannot
be better expressed than in the lan
guage of one of the best known rail
road presidents in the United States
upon the decision in favor of the
government by the court below He
said The decision Is sound law
good and for the benefit of all legiti
mate interests and for the countrys
welfare and it voices the judgment
of probably nine tenths of the most
conservative business men of the
country-
As to the bearing upon other rail
roads I have this to say The gov
ernment has never claimed that the
law is any broader than its language
plainly indicates
During the trial and argument
the government paid no heed to tho
defendants contention that the
makeup of substantially all the great
American systems of railroads was on
trial The governments position was
then that the question before the
court was as to the validity of the
Northern Securities device
CUTS THE APPROPRIATION
Money for the Lewis and Clarke Ex
position
WASHINGTON The house com
mittee on industrial arts and exposi
tions considered in an all day session
the report of its sub committee on the
senate bill appropriating 1750000
toward the Lewis and Clarke exposi
tion to be held at Portland Ore
The sub committee cuts the appro
priation to 3200000 for a government
exhibit 225000 for government
buildings 25000 for an Alaskan ex
hibit 25000 for a Philippine exhibit
and authorizes the coinage of 250000
souvenir dollars These dollars are to
sell at 2 each and the profit will go
to the exhibition company The full
committee will consider the bill again
