Begin Fighting Caterpillars Now 
Bind Your Trees With Strokum 
Do it before, the caterpillars or 
tussock moths begin to crawl up 
the trunks. Keep the first ones 
from attacking the tender leaves. 
Every crawler killed now means 
hundreds less later on. 
Strokum is a perfectly harmless 
vegetable product that is the 
most effectual banding substance 
known. 
It’s easy to apply, does not stick 
to the tree when removed, will 
last an entire season. The cater- 
pillars can’t crawl under it because 
it fills the chinks of the bark. They 
won’t crawl over it. Birds will 
not carry it away as they do cot- 
ton. Fly paper does not fill bark 
chinks and dries up in a few days. 
Smeared-on tar preparations dry 
up and disfigure trees indefinitely. 
Strokum besides being effectual, is not unsightly. 
Send $3.00 at once for a sample package of fifteen pounds, 
which is enough to band fifteen trees, three feet around. Deliv- 
ered free anywhere East of the Mississippi; 50c extra M’est of it.

many things and convention matters 
in particular. He says he is a little 
frail nowadays to go out very far, but 
he thinks, and so do I, if there were 
a little more sunshine and a little less 
ice at our conventions, the interest, 
good fellowship and inducement to 
attend would be considerably im- 
proved. Then to the Botanical Gar-

Now here let me note one of the 
most delightful incidents of our trip; 
Linked to that herculean patriarch. 
Brother Smith, we entered the Union 
station about an hour before the train 
started, and there awaiting us were 
the McKericher family and other 
friends to gladden our hearts and 
cheer us on oiJr homeward way. It 
was a happy, happy ending to one of 
the most enjoyable trips we ever 
made.

CREMATORY

eludes a chapel, vault and spacious 
rest rooms. It is conceded that the 
subject generally is one of intense 
interest, and to satisfy the natural 
desire of any reasonable person for 
proper enlightenment the crematory 
may be inspected upon request. The 
incineration itself, however, is not for 
the satisfaction of public curiosity, s,o 
that admittance to the retort room 
during an operation 'is confined to 
the attendants and proper authorities. 
1 his is believed to be the general 
wish of those most interested, and 
certainly is in accord with the best 
opinion as to the proprieties.
