A SERVICE TO POTATO MEN Experts Sent Out by State Will Tell How to Destroy Diseases of Seed Potatoes and Protect Soil | The State Orchard l Inspectors under the direction of State Zoologist H. A. Surface of the Department of Agricul ture, are now commencing a new and import-ail* feature in the service of de tecting and preventing loss by attacks of insects and plant diseases of vege tables, farm crops and fruits. At this time of year the severe weather pre vents satisfactory service in outdoor or chard inspection, but it is very impor tant that the fanners know the causes of blemishes or damage to their pota toes and stored fruits. It is an easy matter for a competent man to look over the potatoes in the bin, or the ap ples in storage in cellars, and point out to the owners the dtefecfe or in jured places, and tell them the causes and how to prevent them. This service is of great and timely importance, be cause it aims directly at giving definite, practical instruction to the growers, showing them just what pests they have to meet, or how to know the pests from the marks they leave on potatoes and fruits, and how to overcome them. This is n timely service, because the potato growers are now looking after the stock of seed for next spring's planting, and the ihost important point in preventing the spread and proposi tion of potato disorders is in recog nizing the symptoms of these diseases and avoiding planting potatoes that are infected with them. It is well known that during the past two years unusual ly destructive diseases otf potatoes have come into this country from abroad. (For example, the potato wart disease and potato mildew, are newly imported and exceedingly injurious. Naturally they reached the great potato growing regions first, because in such regions inoro new seed was being imported. As a consequence of their introduction there Federal quarantine has been es tablished on seed potatoes from all of the big seed-growing potato regions, that are infected, and discoveries are occasionally made where such diseases have started in other localities. It is not at present known that there is any potato Mildew or any Wart disease in Pennsylvania, although they may be in this State. Inspection by experts has not previously been made for the de tection of these diseases, but this serv- ice by the State's orchard inspectors will reveal the facts if such imported diseases a+e to be found within our Commonwealth. Of course, if found, efforts will be taken immediately to stamp them out. At the present time there are no lcs-s thian four very destructive diseases of potatoes common in Pennsylvania, besijies the injuries done by insects, such as grub worms and wire worms, that leave their characteristic marks on tubers. Among these diseases there are only two that can be effectively prevented by soaking or treaiting the How to Keep Young How to keep young is a subject of universal interest. What does it mean to keep young? It means to postpone as long as possible the changes due to old age. Old age must come eventually to all, but if the changes attending it come before their time, they mean poor health. To ke%' young is the same thing as to keep healthy, and to keep healthy it is necessary to correct all disturbances of the digestive and as similative processes. One of tho Most valuable remedies for this purpose known to medicine is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. When taken as directed in water before meals, it stimulates the mucous surfaces and little glands of the stomach to a healthy action, there by improving the digestion and assimi lation of food and giving to the system its full projiortion of nourishment." Such action on the digestive proceiw is of great importance for it brings to all the tissues and organs of the body the nourishment necessary to their sus tenance and indirectly to the whole system strength and vigor. When yon "Get Duffy's and Keep Well," you will become perfectly satisfied that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is a very important factor in keeping you voung also. —Adr. HARRISBTJRQ STAR-INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING. JANUARY 13, 1915 HOW TO HAVE LONB BEAUTIFUL HAIR By a Hair Specialist It is not hard to stop the hair from falling out aud promote its growth if the right means are used. There is no hope for the scalp where the hair roots are dead and the scalp is shiny. How ever, to those who have not reached this condition, immediate steps should be taken to stop it before it is too late. Here is a simple recipe which vou can make at home, that will stop the hair from falling out, promote its growth and eradicate scalp eruptions and scalp humors. To a half pint of water add 1 oz. bay rum, a small box of Barbo < ompound and oz. of glycerine, and apply to the hair, rubbing with the finger tips, two or three times a week. These ingredients can be obtained at any drug store at very little cost aud mixed at home.

These are the Scab and Scurf or Rhizoc tonia. The former is very common and destructive in Pennsylvania, while tho latter is more rare. Potato scab is wrongly but commonly called "worm holes. and it is odten thought to be due to the work of the white grub.
