‘he judge. “Yes,” replied the mother,

my family suffered frcm kidney

The doctors’ medicine did him no
good. He complained constantly of
pains in his back and sides. He also
had rheumatic twinges. When he
saw Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised,
he got a box and began using them.
After a few doses, he felt much bet-

For White Grubs Destroying
Strawberry Plants.
il
A Lancaster dealer in trees and
plants wrote to Prof. H. A. Surface,
State Zoologist, Harrisburg, saying,
“A white grub has eaten off most of
the strawberry plants that were plant-
ed last spring. The worm or grub
looks like those found in potatoes
when taken out of the ground. Please
let me know what can be done, as we
want to plant more next spring.’’
To this letter Professor Surface re-
plied as follows:
‘I presume the white ‘‘worm”’
which is eating most of the straw-
berry plants is the white grub, which
is the larva of the May beetle or June
bug. However I am only guessing at
this, and to be sure of it I should see
specimens of the pests. I recommend |
