Surface, Te- ceives many requests for information concerning pruning, and gives the ing advice: oa a be pruned at any time of year, but severe pruning, should be done when the trees are dormant. A fule that can be taken as fundamental {s to prune when the trees are in leaf to check further growth, and prune when they are leafless to promote rowth. gi ari, all dead and decaying limbs should be cut away, and those limbs which are interfering or over- lapping and intertwining should be cut out. Those which are diseased with canker knots, black knot and similar pests should be cut out and promptly burned; while those which have died by blight should especially be gathered and burned. It is not necessary to gather and burn branches which are infested with San Jose scale or other scale insects, as these pests will die soon after the limbs are cut off, and will not spread to the trees from fallen limbs. The operator should not hesitate to cut out the tops of #all trees amd bring them down. The pruning should be directed toward opeming the cen- tre of the tree top. Trees should be pruned now to make them low-&ead- ed and spreading. Central upright stems that seem to rise like the trunk of a pine tree should be cut out of ¥ init trees, to get them .as low as possible. When it come to a choice between low branches and higher ®ranches, the lower ones should be swved. The short twigs or fruit spurs on the ‘branches, and many of the water :sprouts should be sawed %o bear fruit instead of cleaming them all off, and thus ridding the tree of much of its fruit-bearing ares. ~ Persons interested impruning should attend the demonstr#tions being given in all of the counties wf Pennsylvania by the demonstrators of the Division of Zoology, of the .Department of Agriculture. There®he work is done correctly. The demonstrators show how to prune limbs without splitting them, and how te paint stubs to pre- vent decay which would result in holes in the trees. : eaten Clears the Complexion. Discovery that Removes Pimples, Eczema and all*Skin Troubles. If you ave treubled with pimples, blackheads, acme, barber’s itech, blotch- blemish, now is ithe time to get rid of it with Heokara. This pure and simple skin healer is being introduced in Meyersdale by *S. E. Thorley at the low price of 25¢ for a liberal sized, jat, and they have sold hundreds of treatments. It contains me grease or acid, is cleanly to use and it is a true nour-| ishment for the :skin, cleaning and clearing it in every pore, making it soft, white and ‘beautiful. ! If Hokara does not do even more than is claimed for it and give perfect satisfaction, return the empty jar to S. E. Thorley’s Drug Store and they will refund your money. If you have any skin trouble, you cannot spend 25¢ to better advantage than for a jar of this skin food. Sold on a guarantee by S. E. ley, Druggist. : Do Net Waste Light. A certain New York State electric light company imvestigated a number of complaints about the excessive cost of electric lighting and found that in nearly every case lamps of too large candle-power were used. * More than half of he complaints of excessive bills—especially in the case of residences—are traceable to the use of lamps of ummnecessarily high candle-power for the wolume of light needed. That the cost of lighting keeps step with the increase of eandle-power is readily shown. A 10 watt Mazda lamp will burn 100 hours for a total cost of but ten cents, where the rate isitten cents a kilowatt, or a thousand watts. A 25 watt lamp on the .same cirenit will burn forty heurs for ten cents, and a 40 watt eandle-power lamp 25 hours for ten eents. It is evident then that by exercising a lit- tle judgment in the choice of lamps a considerable saving can be made. With proper shades which do not ai¥sorb the light rays, and proper re- flectors to direct the light where it is needed, the 25 watt lamps will give as much useful light as those of twice the size where the light is undireeted and wasted.

More than 150,000 children will be concerned in the outcome of the ten legislative campaigns to be conducted this year by the National Child Labor Committee, according to Owen R. Lovejoy, its general Secretary, He says also that all but two of the twelve | states whose legislatures will meet in 1914 are far below standard in their child labor laws. Not one of the ten has the eight-hour day for all workers under sixteen years of age, and three of them —Georgia, Maryland and Vir- ginia—allow' children under sixteen to work at night. : Another three—Georgia, South Car- olina and Mississippi—are among the nine states that disgrace the country wifh age limits lower than fourteen years for factory work. In Georgia children of ten may legally work in the mills and even this age limit is not enforced. Virginia weakens her fourteen-year age limit by exemptions and Vermont has a fourteen-year limit only for places where more than ten persons are employed. New Jersey enforces a fourteen-year limit for fac- tories only; in other occupations chil- dren of any age may be employed during the day outsideof school hours. Maryland has a fourteen-year limit in several common occupations but allows children’ of twelve to work in canneries, stores, offices and packing establishments. In Kentucky, Rhode Island and other states, the National Child Labor Committee hopes this year to improve the provision for work permits, in order that no permit may be issued to a child whois below the legal age, or who fas ne seducation. Of tthese ten backward states with legislative sessions in 1914, five southerm states | —Virginia, Semth Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi amd Louisiana—now re- quire mo educstional test whatsever of children going to work; Rhode Island is content if they can read amd write and Kentudky if they can wead and write and have had some instruction in elementary subjects. : Thereiisino inspection for child labor in Georgia nor in Louisana eutside of New OQrleans. In Mississippi inspec- tion isiin the hands of loeal sheriffs and health officers. In all three of these states a State Bureau of Factory Inspection is urgently needed, Mr. Lovejoy says, and will be included in the campaign program of the National Child Labor Committee for the com- ing year. memes ———— A thealthy man is a king in his own right; an unhealthy man an un- happy slave.

Surface, is responsible for the state- ‘memt that the spraying for the San Jose scal, Peach twig borers, Wooley aphis, Apple aphis, Tent eaterpillar, Leaf-blister mite and certain other insects and diseases, which ds gen r- allydone in the early spring, can be dome jjust as well and effectively at any time while the trees are dormant, with- out any injury to the trees, ifthe prop- er material is used. He says that the best material for the destrmction of these pests, and also one whieh is ab- solutely free from danger of injury to trees is the consentrated lime-sulfur solution, either home boiled er com- moareial. [If the latter is used it-should be tested with a hyrometer to the spe- cific gravity test of 1.03. The heme-boiled lime sulfur solution is cheaper, and chemically the same as the eammercial. It is made by the boiling of two pounds of ground sulfur of any kind in powdered form, with two pounds of fresh stone lime, and one gallon .of water, for one hour, Use this proportion of material to boil a larger quantity. Any vessel but copper can be used for the boiling and requires no expert knowledge nor skill to make it. An iron kettle or galanized iron wash tub will do very well as a boiling vessel. After it has been boiled, strain it, and let it settle, and dip or drain off the clear red liquid, :and store it in a bar- rel or jug, or seme other vessel that can be closed. When ready to use it dilute it with about seven times its bulk of water. or to.a hydrometre test of 1.03. It can be used stronger with- out any injury to amy bush, tree or shrub when leafless, but if used weak- er may not kill the scale. The great advantage of this mater- ial is that it can be made during the work, and can be stored and used at any time when needed. Itisthe same material which when diluted several times further is used as a summer spray to prevent injury by plant diseases. eter —— ‘‘Suffered day and night the tor- ment of itching piles.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) ie dn areas SA cr iat LESSON FOR JANUARY 11. THE MISSION OF THE SEVENTY. LESSON TEXT.—Luke 10:1-24 fe GOLDEN TEXT.-'It is not ye that peak, but the spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.”’—Matt. 10:20. . Jesus “came unto his own and his bwn received him not.” Rejected in Judea, he turned to Galilee, making his headquarters at Capernaum only to be rejected there also. ‘After these things” (v. 1.) e. g., after his final de- parture from' Galilee, and as he was about to perform his Perean ministry. The ministry of Jesus is rapidly has- tering to a close, still there is -much work to do, hence the selection of those who shall go before him to pre- pare for what proved to-be in each city and town his last visit. - I. The Seventy Sent (vv. 1-9). Verse one tells us of the character of the work they were to undertake, viz. to be heralds; to prepare the people against his coming, 2 Cor. 5:20. There is a plentitude of work, but, “the la- borers are few.” They were sent to a particular people, “whither he him- self would come,” 2 Tim. 4:8; Titus 2:13. No matter what may have been their Timitations, the “coming one” would supply all deficiencies. Jesus commanded prayer, but also sent forth those same praying ones (wv. 2, 3). Prayer and work go hand in hang in a sane Christian experience. Every impression demands sufficient expres- sion, if it is to make amy lasting con- tribution to our characters. The large harvest demands attention. We are sent into that harvest by the King himself, “Behold I send you;” and those whom he sends are not com- pelled to labor aleme, Matt. 28:20; John 14:16. Jesms ‘mentions four things about those whom he sends; Like Lambs. (1) Their character. They are to be like “lambs.” We have just had the figure of “laborers” presented, labor- ers who were sent. Is this then a mixed simile? We think not. We are to go forth to thre harvesting work as laborers, that is our work, but, in our characters, we are to be lamb-like. (2) Their emvironment, “among wolves.” That is to say, surrounding each harvest field, and frequently en- croaching as far as they dare, are the wolves, a type of the evil one and of his agents. Those who go thus inte, or by the way of, danger will not carry apy excess of baggage, 2 Tim. 2:4. “ (3) In the third place, they are to go forth with «complete dependence upon God’s providing care (v. 4). The exact letter of ‘these instructions is not always incumbent upon his ambas- ,adors, chapter 22:35, 36, but the spir- it of absolute faith in a Father who will provide, mmst always possess his representatives. 4. As to their bearing, it must be that of dignity and self-respect (v. 5). Social demands consume a great deal ot energy in diplomatic circles, and it is here that many Christians waste precious energy, :as well as becoming involved in worldly practices., Their first thought upon entering a house must be for the good of the home L(y 5). not for their personal comfort. If a “son of peace,” ((v. 6), dwelt there, one to whom peace rightfully be- longed, their benediction would bring to that home a blessing. But if he be not there their peace was not to be lost, for it would return to the giver. (6) Their missinn was to offer, not to force acceptanse. They were not beggars, going from house to house (v. 7), they had something worth while and were worthy of their hire. The fawning, cringing sycophants that pass for Christian workers stand re- buked before this teaching. However, this does not sanction the dogmatic, domineering methods «of some. They are to accept what is offered (v. 8), not demanding, “a worthy compensa- tion.” The church of Christ stands condemned for the meager salaries given its representatives, yet it is also irue that a man usually, and in the long run, gets about what he is worth. God’s Truth. To build up character brings a far richer compensation, and more last- ing results, than to obtain earthly prestige, ease or wealth. Therefore tthe ambassador of Christ ean afford te wait with glad certainty the final casting up of accounts, accepting in the meantime the lowlier seats among men, Luke 14:7-14. However, these ambassadors do have an exalted work to perform. They had a commission for both body and soul. The Gospel of Christ is for the whole man (v. 9). To minister to the bodies of men must however be accompanied by the her- alding of the coming kingdom. That kingdom which is everlastingly to be visible upon earth, Dan. 2:44. II. The Seventy Received (vv. 10- 16.) These heralds were to proclaim that the kingdom was “nigh unto you.” In this section we have set before us not only the probable manner whereby the ambassadors may be re- ceived, but also their attitude towards those who shall reject them. Jesus, by his anathemas pronounced upon Chor- azin and Bethsaida (vv. 12-15), inti- mates what shall be the fate of those who reject the ambassadors of the King. He emphasizes this by saying (v. 16) that he is heard and despised when these, his representatives, are heard or despised. Sold by all Dealers Everywhere. B.
