DIVORCE YOURSELF | 
From Dirt, Dust and Drudgery 
D, 
Combination Pneumatic Sweeper 
Release from broom drudgery—from the strain of mov- 
ing and lifting furniture and from the dangerous scattering 
of dust and germs that are raised by the use of the broom 
and the old fashioned carpet sweeper, cant be attained by 
the use of the Duntley Combination Pneumatic + 
Sweeper, which, although easily operated by hand, 
creates powerful suction force which draws out all the dirt 
and dust found in your rugs and carpets and at the same 
time the revolving brush picks up all lint, pins, threads, 
ravelings, etc. 
THE DUNTLEY SWEEPERS are made in three sizes and sold 
under a rigid guarantee for one year. You may try a Dunt- 
ley in your own home for 10 days Free of Charége.

FOREST FIRES HARM SOIL 
FERTILITY . 
A definite relation between the 
amount of humus, or vegetable mat- 
ter in the soil, and its crop-producing 
power as shown by yields of corn, is 
given in figures just isued by the de- 
partment of agriculture. The de- 
partment therefore advocates the use 
of various methods to introduce the 
required humus into the soil. 
Experts of the forest service state. 
that the soils of the whole country, 
and particularly of the south, have 
lost and are losing immense amounts 
of this source of soil fertility through 
forest fires which apparently do little 
immediate damage but rob the soil of 
accumulations of humus. In parts of 
the south, land is being cleared for 
farming, and where such forest land 
has not been burned, there is a large 
percentage of vegetable matter, which 
provides considerable fertility, and a 
good texture. Moreover __ this 
soil has a greater capacity to absorb 
and retain moisture, and thus is less 
likely to be washed and gullied under 
heavy rains. For these reasons, 
leaving out of account the damage 
to standing timber, the department’s 
authorities are agreed that fire should 
be rigidly kept out of woodlands. 
TROUBLE IN CONGRESS OVER OUR 
FREE SEEDS. 
Free seed distribution has been 
having its ups and downs in Congress 
for a number of years, and finally 
the appropriation for sending out 
these seeds was strickén from the 
agricultural appropriation bill by the 
Senate a few days ago, after a vigor- 
ous debate. Senator Kenyon, who 
comes from the rich agricultural state 
of Iowa, declared that he believed that 
the farmers object to the sending of 
seeds to them as a “cheap attempt to 
curry.favor.” The action was de- 
nounced as false economy by Senator 
Warren. Members of the lower 
house expect to be able to save this 
custom before the law is finally 
enacted. 
30STON ‘THEATRE. 
Joe Weber and Lew Fields, com- 
prising the most popular theatrical 
partnership on the American stage, 
return to Boston for their first joint 
engagement in ten years on Monday, 
May 25, when they will be seen at the 
Boston theatre for two weeks only in 
“Hokey Pokey,” one of their biggest 
musical comedy successess. In view 
of the fact that on the occasion of the 
previous appearances of Weber and 
Fields in Boston the price of orches- 
tra seats was always advanced to $2.- 
50 and $3.00 special interest attaches 
to the prices which will prevail at the 
forthcoming engagement. At the 
evening performances and at the Sat- 
urday matinees the prices will run 
from 25c to $1.00. There will be 
special matinees on Tuesday, Wednes- 
day and Friday at which the best 
seats will sell for 25 cents and ‘so 
cents. This is the first time in their 
careers that Weber and Fields have 
ever played at such ridiculously low 
prices and they have only decided 
to make this scale for the Boston en- | 
gagement because of the tremendous 
seating capacity of the Boston theatre. 
This will be the last opportunity 
that New England theatregoers will — 
have of seefng Joe Weber and Lew 
Fields together. Next season Mr. 
Fields, emulating David Warfield, 
who was for many years a popular 
member of the Music Hall company, 
will enter the field of legitimate com- 
edy appearing in the leading role in 
a comedy adapted from the German. 
The comedians will positively ap- 
pear in no other city in New Eng- 
land this season. . 
Pure Foop Exposrtion 
Nation-wide interest will be man- 
ifested in the Boston Domestic 
Science and Pure Food Exposition 
which will be given next October un- 
der the auspices of the Boston Retai! 
Grocers’ association, The Massachu- 
setts Retail Grocers and Provision 
Dealers’ association and the  Mass- 
achusetts State Federation of Wo- 
men’s clubs at Mechanics’ Building, 
Boston, for four weeks, from October 
5 to the.3ist. 
Preparations have been going on 
now for over a year for this expo- 
sition although it will not take place 
for six months yet, but this great fair 
is to be world-wide in its scope and 
far reaching in its utility which will 
have a direct appeal to every house- 
hold and all its members. Although, 
in the past, there have been seven 
food fairs given in Boston, under the 
auspices of the Boston Retail Grocers’ 
association, this is to be the first Pure 
Food Exposition, and plans are now 
well perfected to make it the greatest 
of its kind ever held in America..

tion with your. printing?
