Apple growers In recent years have notlrcd largoly Increased daningo by (tie codling moth. This pest appears In the form of a small brownish ninth noon after the young apples have set. Kit eggs, laid on the side of the fruit or oven on tho loaves, give rise to tiny '.vonns which enter tho young apploB and develop Into full grown npplo worms. The annual loss to applo growers in the United States from this pest dlone Is enocmotis. Such a pest could not long escape attention from the Hclenllllc sleuths of the Experiment Minions These workers have tracked the beast to Its lair, watched its hub ID of life and devised weapons for Mh destruction. A recent bulletin by the Deln wiuo Hxperlment Station shows that nearly nil damage by tho codling moth can bo checked by spraying with a curtain arsenical spray cnlled HlHpareno soon after the blossoms fall from Utc tree. Applied lo trees It poisons the young Insects In InTnitey and prevents further damage (o (.lie ciop. It has also uccti found a cowiplolo and effective remedy for the canker worm, curcullo and other In Kwtrt that attack orchards and work great havoc therewith. in tils bulletin, Entomologist San derson of tho Delaware Station, gives tho result 01 n careful series of ox pcrimoutR in which he says, "Dlspa reno proved to bo very much superior to purls green, and doatroyed a larger percentage of codling moth larvae than has ever been done In any slmb lar experiment. One thing which neeinH to mo to mako Dlspareno of special valuo Is its adhesive quali ties; in spite of very heavy rains It rofiutlned on the trees all summer. Tho results which we secured from Dlspareno were both surprising and gmtllying." Professor J. It.

The following' tale Is told of the bishop of 1Oiulon. Having Indulged that precarious pastime of asking any small boy or girl in tho audience to ask him a question, Ur. Ingram was met by tho following: "Pleaso, sir. Why did the angels walk up and down Jacob's ladder when they had wings?" It Is sad to record that eveu the bish op of London was driven to make the usual humtllutlng and miserable es cape by returning, "What llttlo boy or girl would llko to answer this?" No Female Angels. A minister on Long Island has de clared that there aro no female angels In heaven. As he docs not disclose tho source of his Information, the statement may be open to argument. Ho Is reported to have said to his an ulence: "Most people's Idea of an angel is of a beautiful, graceful, white-robed female llguro with a wing on either shoulder, peacefully floating through tho air. I want to say there aro no female angels." For Growing Girls. West Pembroke, Mo March 21 Mr. A, L. Smith of this place, says that Dodd's Kidney Pills are tho best remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphaslis her recommenda tion by the following experience: "My daughter was thirteen years old last November and It Is now two years since sho was first taken with Crazy Spoils that would last a week and would then pass off. In a month she would have tho spells ngaln. At these times she would eat very little and was very yellow, oven 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 Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad spell. Of course, we contin ued tho 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. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best medicine for growing girls." Mothers should heed the adrlce of Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may save their daughters much pain and sickness and insure a healthy, happy future for them.

TRUST QUESTION CONGRESSMAN HEARST WOULD HAVE IT INVESTIGATED. RESOLUTIONS FOR COMMITTEE Evil Ef ects of the Great Combinations Recited Means Already Existing to Curb Trusts Ought to Be Rigidly En forced. WASHINGTON, D. C Representa tive Hearst of New York on Friday In troduced resolutions providing for an Investigation of tho trust question by a committee of live members of the house. Tho resolutions contain ten clauses, reciting the evil effects of trusts on the country, among them be ing tho following: "Numerous Illegal combinations known as trusts havo 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 specuatlvo trusts as the ship yards and the steel trust have Inflated their stoe'e to many times Its actual values and sold to tho public, transfer Ing the people's money from banks and legitimate Investments into the pock ets of trust promoters and speculators. "Industrial unrest has been foment ed by the InCrenscd cost of living and by the consequent necessary efforts of labor to make its wages keep paco with the Increased cost of liting. "Such trusts as the steel trust. In spite of the increased cost of living, have ruthlessly cut down tho wages of hundreds of thousands of employes In order to pay dividends on watered stock, and other trusts havo wholly collapsed, throwing hundreds of thou sands of workmen out of employment. "The purchasing power of tho com munity has been diminished by tho ac tions of the. trusts by unsound methods, which hno misled the people, swin dled them and robbed them of their savings. "All classes of the community are being made to (eel the evil effect of of the unrestrained greed 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 restrlctly com binations. The committee is empow ered to send for persons and papers. An additional resolution states that "It is the senho of this house, and It does recommend, that tho laws al ready existing against the trusts be in tho 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 tho decision cannot be better expressed than In the lan guage or one of the best known r.ill road presidents in the United States upon the decision in favor of tho government by the court below. He said: 'The decision Is sound law, good and for the beneni of all legiti mate Interests and for tho country's welfare, and It voices the Judgment of probably nine-tenihs of tho 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 tho trial and argument tho government paid no heed to tho defendant's contention that tho makeup or substantially all tho great American systems of .railroads was on trial. The government's position was then, that tho 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.

For this reason Grape-Nuts food is daily recommend ed to patients by hundreds of physi cians who have cured themselves of stomach trouble. Ono doctor says: "Although a physician und trying to aid and assist my fellow beings to en joy good health It must be admitted I formerly did not enjoy the best of health myself. In January, 1899, I only weighed 119 pounds. At this time 1 was living in the Ohio Valley and began to think I had about seen my best days. Ono day about 3 years ago I had an opportunity to try Grape Nuts food for my breakfast. " I liked It so well that I ate three teaspoon fuls three times a day and have reg ularly used It up to tho present time, and I now weigh 155, a gain of 3G pounds and enjoy tho best of health. "Not only has Grape-Nuts modo this wonderful change In me, but through It I have helped my friends, relatives and patients. The sustain ing power of this food is simply won derful, i "I havo one patient who Is a sec tion hand on tho C. & O. R.
