Dtrtx'tlonn for Preparing Lime-Sul? phur Wtuh. For preparing lime-sulphur wash the following formula Is recommend? ed: Lime (unslacked).21 pounds. Sulphur.18 pounds. Water, to make.60 gallons. Boll till the proper color Is obtain? ed and thla will require violent boil? ing for 4ft minutes to one hour. The proportions of lime and ml phur given above are not absolutely Imperative but may be varied slightly If convenient, but the directions for mixing and boiling should be followed Implicitly. It Is difficult to mix dry sulphur the water, therefore after the sul? phur Is weighed out mix It with a ?mall quantity of water to form a paste. Heat about 1ft galolns of wa? ter In an Iron kettle to boiling, add the sulphur paste to the boiling water and stir thoroughly with a wooden paddle. While this mixture Is boil? ing, the stone lime, which has been weighed out previously, is added, the slaking of which causes a violent cooking The boiling liquid should be thoroughly stirred in order to Keep the lime and sulphur mixed. When the lime le slaking It may be necessary to add a small quantity of cold water to prevent boiling over. In no case should cold water be added except Just enough to -keep the mixture from boiling over. Boiling should be con? tinued until all signs of yellow sul? phur have disappeared and the mix? ture haa assumed a greenish, brick red color. This may require an hour and the boiling should be violent enough so that this la accomplished In abount an hour because long continu? ed boiling may Injure the liquid. When the proper color haa been se? cured the mixture Is diluted to] ftO gallons. By boiling we mean a 'vio? lent cooking and not a mere simmer? ing. Where the above method of adding the stone lime to the boiling mixture le used It will shorten the time required for making the wash, but It is neces? sary to have a kettle of at least a ft gal? lon capacity to make SO gallons or one barrel of wash. Where a large amount of spraying la to be done It 1? of great advantage to enclose the kettle with n brick arch. With a 70 gallon ket? tle thus closed In 100 gallons of mix? ture can be made at one boiling and It can be made fast enough to keep In operation three barrel pumps. The brick arch not only gives better draft, but It le a great convenience on windy days to thoee who attend to the ket? tle. Another method for preparing the wash, but slower. Is as follows: After slaking the lime add the sul? phur and enough water to allow easy boiling. Boll briskly until the sulphur la dissolved. Which should not re? quire longer than an hour. This can be prepared In, any iron kettle such as Is commonly found on every farm. This method Is convenient where the ordinary Iron kettle as found on every farm Is used. The next article will consider the time and method of spraying and cost of application. A. F. Conrail. A Boon to Elderly People.

Soys Ho Was Cordially Received by Laboring Men and Thinks the Re? publican Ticket Will Receive Its Usual Support by the Men Who Work With Their Hands. Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 14.?Judge Taft today concluded his three-day campaign in Ohio. What he thinks of the situation is set forth in the following statement, which he issued tonight: "I have now spent three days in the State of Ohio, much of the time in in? dustrial and labor centres among men who, It was reported, were disaffected and opposed to the Republican party and its candidates. "Wherever I appeared I was cor? dially received and only an occasional Interruption Indicated that misrepre? sentation of the attitude of the party and the candidate had made casual Impression. It Is my opinion that the attitude 6i labor toward the Republi? can party has been misrepresented quite as freely as that of the party and the candidate toward labor, and I And no reason for the belief that labor will divide(other than on the lines that have heretofore divided it. In my opinion the normal Repub? lican labor vote will be cast as here? tofore. "In the agricultural regions it is quite apparant that the farmers are opposed to a change that will imperil their present prosperity. 'The situation In Ohio is entirely satisfactory and no one has any rea? sonable doubt but that the Republican majority will be a substantial one. I certainly have no doubt on the sub? ject myself." Again today the Taft special was delayed by accident. In trying to ne? gotiate a spur track from Cadis Junction to Cadiz, Ohio, it was found first that the train was too heavy for the grade, notwithstanding two engines were used. The train was run back to the Junction and three cars cut off. On the second attempt while a speed of about ten miles an hour was made two wheels of the second engie Jump? ed the track. Before a stop could be made the train had run two lengths. The wheels, which were on the ties, cut them in two. On either side of the track the bank dropped down for 20 fet. Steubenvllle and Wheeling furnish? ed the big audiences of the day, al? though at each of the nine stops there were crowds and enthusiasm. Mr. Taft constituted the chief attraction in a lengthy parade, which marched through the streets of Steubenvllle for half an hour. Afterwards an -open air meeting was held opposite the Court House. The central market house was cleared at Wheeling and there tonight the candidate addressed an Immense audience representing la? bor and to whom he made his labor speech. A business men's meeting, participated in by many thousands, was afterwards held In the old Balti? more and Ohio station. During the day the candidate tra? versed the great pottery section of Ohio and at Cadiz made his talk to farmers In the centre of the wool growing district. To his Cadiz audience the candidate spoke In part as follows: *'l am advised that a very considera? ble part of your population is colored and I want to say that no part of the population has a deeper sympathy on my part than they. Coming to this country through their ancestry against their will, there Is imposed upon us whose ancestry brought them here the obligation to see that they in every way have a square deal. This is their only country: this is the only flag they love and this the standard for which they have shown themselves willing and anxious to lay down their lives when the exigencies of the country re? quired. They are American citizens like the rest of us, and entitled to the same consideration." Ten or twelve speeches have been mapped out for the candidate tomor? row on his way to Louisville, Ky., where he goes for an evening meet? ing. The following two drys of the Southern tour will have a lighter speaking Itinerary. ?DeWltt's Kidney and Bladder Pills are Just what you need and what you should get right away for pain in the back, backache, rheumatic pains, and all urinary and bladder troubles.

The following is from the News and Courier: Plans for Gala Week were gotten into definite shape at an enthusiastic meeting of the chairmer of the vari? ous committees in charge of the work, comprising the executive committee, held last night at the Commerciul Ciub. Mr. George S. Brantley, of the committee on finance, reported that sufficient funds were at hand to in? sure the success of the undertaking: the nature of the various attractions 10 be offered was deceided upon and the programme is now being arrang? ed. Mr. Albert Orth was put at the head of the committee cn publicity, tuccceding Mr. George Hoyt Smith, and the advertising of the event Will be pushed vigorously throughout the State. The gentlemen upon whom rests the burden of making Gala Week a success are very much gratified at the progress they have made in the work, and they are greatly encouraged at the outlook. It is proposed to make the attractions in every particular all tnat the most exacting may expect, and to give to the city's visitors n week, every hour of which will be enjoyable. Encouraging reports were made bv the chairmen of all the committees, Mr. H. R. Jackson, of the committee on railroads, announced that the rail? roads will grant a fare of one fare plus 25 cents for the round trip from all points in South Carolina, and from Savannah, Augusta and Charlotte. Mr. Livingston, who is at the head of the committee on amusements, reported that his committee is making rapid progress in its work. They have had conferences with several large carni? val companies and will be able to an? nounce the programme for the week very shortly. Several new features will be intro? duced In the way of entertainment this year. Among these will probably *>e an automobile and iioat parade, tor which arrangements are now un? der way and which promise to oe particularly interesting. Capt Lan neau reported that everything is lu fine shape for the naval and military features. Commodore Dyer has as? sured the committee that every cour? tesy will be shown to visitors to the Navy Yard and the marines will be Allowed to take part In the parade. Capt. Os'oorne, of the Texas, has also assured the committee that he will be glad to aid them in every way possi? ble, and it is hoped that the men of the Texas will also be able to take part in the parade. Boat racing is to be made an Im? portant feature and visitors from the Interior will doubtless find these aquatic contests especially Interesting. Both row boats and naphtha launches ere to participate in the racing. The committee, of course, antici? pates getting up a carnival parade, firemen's parade and hose reel con? test, free acts of a spectacular charac? ter In the afternoon and evening on Marion Square, a grand street carni? val on. King street, first class musical concerts on the streets and a grand illumination of the city. Of the greatest Importance as tend? ing to make it absolutely certain that the week will be a success is the fact that the Shriners will be here. Mr. Henry O. Strohecker, illustrous po? tentate of Omar Temple. Order of the Mystic Shrine, reported that the out? look for a very large attendance cf Nobles is already assured. Potentate Strohecker and Recorder Dlven have sent out a general call for a ceremo? nial session in Charleston during Gala Week, in which they promise the Nobles "all sorts of a good time," and Mr. Strohecker stated that the responses are highly encouraging both lor attendance and "meat," the latter "well fatted and juicy." One day of Gala Week will be given over to tin Shriners and the host of friends whom they are expected to bring with them. Among the amusement features not already enumerated, and which will appeal strongly to many persons, will probably be a football game. Mr. Livingstone, of the committee on amusements, has received a proposi? tion from the Charleston Athletic As? sociation for a game with a club from Savannah or with some other club. The Citadel and Mercer University have also submitted propositions and some action will be taken In the mat? ter within the next few days. All in all, Chairman Stephen Thom? as, Jr., of the executive committee, and his assistants take a very opti? mistic view of the prospect for a Gala Week which will be a credit to the city, and which will be highly bene? ficial to it as well. Among those present at the meet? ing at the Commercial Club last night and taking an active part In the de? liberations whoso names have not al? ready been mentioned were Mr. A. McL. Martin, of the committee on dec? orations and illumination. Mr. Mon? tague Trlest, the secretary and treos l urer of the executive committee, and The Life of Jlrs. C. F.
