Candy manufacturers have re
ceived orders to cease varnishing
chocolates and other confections
with shellac or any other gum.
Several reasons are given by the
food bureau prohibiting the use
of gums. One is that the gums
are prepared in alcoholic solutions
and even wood alcohol solutions.
The other reasons are that the
coating conceals inferiorities and
enables candy to be kept in stock
for long periods of time, both un
desirable results.
A farmer, while on his way to
Chambersburg last Saturday
with a load of eggs, got interest
ed in a horse race along the road,
and forgetting about driving slow
in order to keep the eggs intact,
speeded up his horse and soon
out-distanced the other team.
But imagine his surprise when
he arrived at his destination and
beheld the condition of the eggs,
about thirty dozen being broken
and what few had escaped break
age had to be washed before you
could recognize them.

INITIAL GAME.
Base Ball Season Opens on the Athletic'!
New Field Next Saturday
Afternoon.
On account of the rainy weath
er, the McConnellsburg Athletic
Association was unable to open
the baseball season on May 30th,
but, if the weather man is good
to us next Saturday, the season
will open with the fast aggrega
tion from Hancock, Md.
Last yeir Hancock took both
games from us; but, this year,
we hope to have a reversal of form
and take two or more games from
them. This promises to be one
of the most interesting games of
the season, and there should be
a large crowd on hand to give the
boys a boost.
There will be a seat in the
grand-stand for everyone, and
bleachers to take care of the boys
and, if you get a little too warm
and want a glass of real lemonade
Whiskers" Steach will be there
to serve you.
The price of admission for the
opening game (tnis game only;
will be 2oc for the grand-stand
young and old and 15c for boys
in the bleachers.
This price is necessary on ac
count of the very heavy expense
incurred this year at our new
grounds, and other expenses,
such as balls, bats, ec.
There will be on sale a number
ot special tickets, printed for the
opening game, at 35c. Perhaps
you can't go yourself, but want
to help the boys; if you do, buy
one or more of tnese tickets.
They are transferable.
If we get the right support,
we will have baseball all summer,
and we have every reason to be
lieve we will get the support. Ev
erybody go and give the boys the
glad hand but leave your little
'knockers" at home. Alwavs re
member "if you can't boost,
don't knock."

Questions About Pruning.
A Philndelphian owning a suh
urban property on which he has
fruit tien, wrote to Stute Zoolog
ist Surface for answers to the
following questions:
1. Will it do any harm to prune
trees while in blnnm,cr after they
have formed fruit?
2. I remove branches to open
up ;he tree in the center, and in
the case of peaches cut back
about one-third to' one-half of
ast year's growth. Is this
right?
8. Is it right and boneticial to
prune trees now, or during the
summer, when the growth be
comes excessive?
Professor Surfaco's replies to
these queries are of importance
to all fruit growers. He wrote
as follows:
"It is my opinion that you are
doing right in pruning your trees
at this time, unless you are re
moving larve branches. If the
trees have been neglected to such
an extent that it is necessary to
cut much away from them, it
might be very severe on them to
continue the pruning into the
summer, but comparatively light
pruning, such as trees should
have to direct growth, can be
done at any time.
"It is right to open the centre
of the tree and let in light, heat
and air. I think pruning suffici
ently to do this can be done at
any time, as you suggest. It is
also right to cut back the trees
to some extent. This cutting
back should be done in propor
tion to their lack of vigor, as very
strong trees do hot need it so
much as those that are declining.
"I should much prefer to do
pruning m the early spring than
to delay it until summer time. I
think if it is to be done, the earli
er it is done the better it will be
for the trees. Pruning in the
summer removes tne leave?,
which are both the stomach and
lungs of the trees, and this will,
of course, tend to check the
growth."

t "A lady came into ray store lately and said :
"I have been using a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove all winter
in mv anartment. I want one now for my summer home. I think
these oil stoves are wonderful,
comfort they are, they would all have
one. I spoke about my stove to lot
of my friends, and they were Mton
iahed. They thought that there was
mell and smoke from an oil stove, and
that it heated aroom Just like any other
stove. I told them of my experience,
and one after another they got one, and
now, not one of them would give bera
up for five times its cost' "
The lady who said this had thought
an oil atove was all right for quickly
heating milk for a baby, or boiling a
kettle of water, or to make coffee
2uickly in the morning, but she never
reamed of using it for difficult or
