NEW CHEMICAL MAY CHECK
WORM THAT RAVAGES
San Franisco.—The submarine ter-
ror of peace times is about to be
checkmated.
The teredo boring destroyer of pil-
ing, which is credited with havirg
done a million dollars’ worth or dam-
age to structures at salt water ports,
may be definitely put out of business
through the efforts of a little band
of scientists who for two years have
worked ceaselessly in an effort to find
some method of destroying the little
pest that eats his way through the
staunchest pilings and destroys
wharves, breakwaters and marine
foundations of all sorts.
These scientists who have been con-
ducting experiments under the direc-
tion of Prof. J. S. Burd, head of the
department of agricultural chemistry
at the University of California,
Berkeley, are reported to have found
a chemical which is death-dealing to
the teredo.
Hitherto almost every sort of
paint, oil and chemical had been tried
by port authorities without avail.
The menace of the teredo had become
so general on the Pacific coast that
government reports fixed damage at
115,000,000 a year, with prospects of
it growing worse.
The teredo is peculiarly a Pacific
port pest, although flourishing else-
where. The warm waters of the
Japan current which flows along the
Pacific coast is particularly to the Ilk
ing of the little marine borer. Shir
owners have long had trouble with
the marine pest through its propen
aity to eat away ship bottoms.
So serious has been its inroads on
piling that it has developed a new
type of railroad man—the underwa-
ter inspector. Alois Neubert is the
only known “submarine railroader.”
He is employed by a large railroad
company having extensive water
front properties. He works entirely
by “feel,” doing most of his work of
inspecting piling of wharves and
bridges and “feeling over” underwa-
ter areas where construction work is
planned, in muddy harbor water,
where the sense of eyesight is of lit-
tle use. He devotes most of his time
to locating teredo inroads before they
become serious enough to cause disas-
ter.
Neubert, from experiments on many
jobs in tropical waters, says the pop-
ular impression of the man-eating
shark is exaggerated. The “wolf or
the sea” will not usually molest man
unless injured or harassed, Neubert
says.
CULTIVATE YOUNG TREES
AND VINES
It is a sin, a sin of omission, to
neglect to plant fruit trees and vines
for the pleasure and health of our
loved ones and for the profit that a
surplus will bring. It is far greater
sin to plant trees and /vines and not
give them the care that is necessary
for them to be able to serve their
mission. Fruit-bearing plants that
are neglected are worse than buried
talents—they are decaying talents
wasting time, land, and money.
Orchard cultivation is for the .pur-
pose of preventing weed-growth and
the formation of a soil crust. Neglect
of cultivation invites failure.
Fertilization is for the purpose of
supplying needed plant food for mak-
ing fruit. Neglect of fertilization in-
vites failure.
Spraying, dustjng, and similar pro-
cedure are for the purpose of clean*' g
the plants of their insect and disease
enemies. Neglect of these invite*,
failure.
If one really wants fruit, it may be
gotten by the payment of the price in
diligence and care. We must cultivate
the trees, feed them clean by proper
spraying.—C. L. Newman, in The
Progressive Farmer.

WHY THAT LAME BACK?
That morning lameness — those
sharp pains whe - bending or lifting,
make work a burden and rest Impos-
sible. Don’t be handicapped by a
bad back—look to your kidneys. You
will make no mistake by following
this La Grange resident's example.
* V&l Weljeile, tailor. Public Square,
says: “Sitting in a position that a
tailor has to take when at work, has
had a tendency to weaken my kid-
neys and at times my back has been
very lame. My back pained very
much and when I got on my feet Ii
would be hard to Btralghten. Know-
ing what Doan’s Kidney Pills had
done for friends of mine I began tak-
ing them. A few of Doan’s have al-
ways helped my back and they have
kept my kidneys well and strong.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr Weljeile had. Foster-Mllburn Co.,
