In the enforcement of the insecticide act, officials of the United States Department of Agriculture have had some wonderful and weird "remedies brought- to thoij* attention. A preparation sold as a remedy for all kinds of di eases of trees was found to consist of approximately 80 per cent table salt and the icmainder consisted of equally "powerful" ingredients. This great "reme iy" was sold by an "itinerant tree specialist," who "guaranteed to exterminate" tree diseases and naively info: me ! his credulous victims that tree diseases wore caused by uneven temper ature and overproduction of wood which cauuses the sap to become con pealed in the "arteries" of the trees. He compared the treatment of tree diseases to the treatment of human disease and consigned to the scrap heap a-'l the conclusions and result* of scientific investigators, insisting that he was the dh-soverer cf the 01.ly true method of treatment. And this wonderfully remedy may be bought, ladies and gentlemen, for the modest and insignficant sum of only $3 per can, cash money. Unhampered by Facts. Another "remarkable" pieparation was offered to poultrymen for* the guaranteed extermination of vermin iin his flloclcs by the simple expededient of adding a few drops to the drinking water, whiich became effective through the pores of the- chicken and thus killed the lice on its back. This was an interesting theory to the scientists of the department, sin e chickens have no pores except two small ones at the base of the tail. Tliivc sPfMMinii' r?lwl in thn ical working1 of the remedy meant nothing' at all in the youn^ life of the discoverer, who without hesitation denounced the department and impatiently pointed out the feather holes to prove his assertion that chick ens did in fact have pores.

I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't cat, and slept poorly.

Read Libels Carefully Apparently it is only necessary to devise some treatment which is simple and easy to administer ant! the silver-tongued fakers are able to "put it across." The department advises all purchasers to write 'for information regarding the demonstr: ?ed and established treatments which may require more time an labor, but which are known to be safe and the b?st available treatments. Carefully read the labels and see if the seller has da<red to put in print the verbal promises he makes. If so, the department will get him if he don't watch out and if he has made false and exorbitant claims. The disinfectant which makes n strong odor, but which does not kill any perms; the insecticide or fungicide which is not effective against insects or dieases, or which positiveIv injures the plants or crops; all of these things are receiving the attention of your Uncle Samuol who is endeavoring to prevent the billon and a half dollars of annual losses to crops and animals through the lavages of insects and disease.

She sat down forcibly In a puddle of water, the soup landed In her lap, and over all spread her unibrella like a hugh snulTer, pouring rivulets of water down her neck. The man with whom she had collided at the windswept corner apologized. Disposing of his own umbrella he seized hers, lifted It away frotu the wreck at*l assisted Peggy to her feet. "Are you hurt?" he asked. "No," she answered, shaking the soup out of her skirt. "But poor Mrs. Mally will have to do without her supper, I'm afraid." "That's too bad. I'm terribly sorry. It was all my fault. Is there anything I can do to make It up?" Peggy hesitated, which gave the man a chance to see just what kind of person It was he had encountered so forcibly. In the half light, with the street lamp giving an uncertain, ghastly glimmer, Peggy looked so* ethereal that the young man had a feeling that she was going to disappear Into the mist and float away. Hut with nil her paleness she was almost too beautiful to bo real. "Yes," she answered, all unconscious of what was going on In the other's mind, "there is something. Mrs. Mally Is very sick and she can't have anything but broth. There Is a restaurant about half a block away. I've Just come from there, but I've got to hurry on to Mrs. Mally's right away. The baby might fall downstairs and Patsy is probably making a meal off the matches while I'm here talking. So If you don't mind, you might bring the soup and I'll run along to look after the family." .sure, i it gei me soup, is mere anything else?" "Nothing, thank you. It's tho Para- j dise tenement across the street there? fifth floor. "Paradise tenement !" He looked at the high, gloomy building with broken windows and rickety steps. "It doesn't look it !" A few minutes later he knocked at a door at the head of the fourth flight of stairs, stairs that creaked and swayed with his weight. Peggy opened the door. "It didn't take you long," she greeted him. "Won't you come in?" "I'm dripping wet," he protested, waiting to be coaxed. "Oh, that doesn't matter. The roof leaks in forty places anyway. Come in." "Say, this is the darndext place 1 was ever in. It Isn't safe for you to be here, is it?with all the dampness and everything?" "Just as safe for me as for these kiddies and that poor sick soul in there!" nouuing Co war'j me next room.

It ought to be reported to the department of public safety." "The Everett Real Estate company." "Are you sure?" "Yes. At least that's where I paid last month's rent." He looked around. Piaster and paper were falling from the walls, papers and old rags were stuffed into broken windows, and, as Peggy said, it rained almost as hard Inside as out. The baby crept over and pulled itself up to his knee, lit? lifted it to his lap and opened a sticky little hand. Digging down into his pocket he produced a bill. "Here, little chap. This might help generally. Give it to the lady." "You mustn't do that!" cried Peggy, when she had extricated the donation and noted the amount. "Oh. ves. I must ! it's to et?t n nnrsp to relieve you and some proper food and nil the rest of that Samaritan stuff.

"Good-night!" said I'eggy, holding out her hand. "And thank you, oh, so very, very much." And he turned toward the stairs, feeling that he had left something very valuable behind.

Y.hm the trees arc fully loaded with 'sinr.r.ons ripe nnd sweet, Then the Horry boys and coons get what they love to e it. When the air is clear and frosty, :>nd the night drags into day, They search for coons and Vimivon:* from Loris to Conway. They track them down the hollows, through holes and over hills, And swear to bag a dozen en route to 'simmonville. Old 'cooney fat and cunning, a pest to 'simmon trees, Will climb to keep from running thiT mud and cypress knees. "Now keep that trochlight moving till you see his eyeballs shine, "I'll chop him out in no time; that 'coon is good as mine." Old 'possom, you are lazy, yet up to any trick, But Horry boys will tote you in the split end of a stick. Their ax is like a razor and the pine knots ready split, It's 'possom and persimmons the} work so hard to get. Thr/r wives and sweethearts roast them, with 'simmons piled around, His skin just done to crackling, thr gravy thick and brown. And when their neighbors taste him, and drinks that 'simmon beer, They boast again that 'simmon time is the best time in the year. Hurrah for Horry?her turpentine, taters and possoms which she loves so well?long may she wave; but by a recent and very wise act of the leg.slature 1U21 will see her most cher i-hed of fruit trees (persimmons) put over the fence. ?10.
