since, and a decision reached hat no
Issue would be made except In case of
extreme necessity. The condition of
financial and commercial affairs wus
not believed to warrant a call for an
Issue OF certificates. although 1t was
conceded In some cases that over eX-
tended business concerns were having
trouble in securing financial accOmmo-
dntion. The bears We're favored In their

The Care of Honey.

Honey has great affinity for mois-
ture, and if comb honey is stored In a
damp atmosphere il will absorb the
moisture through the slightly porous
cappings and become thin and watery.
The bulk of the honey will be 80 in
creased that it will burst the cells and
ooze out. The honey may become 80
thinned that fermentation will set in.
Cold is also detrimental to comb honey,
causing it to candy in the cells. When
comb honey is first taken from the
hives, it should be stored in hot, dry
atmosphere. A room in the south
west corner of building where it will
become very hot in the afternoon is a
good place to store comb honey, as a
CORRESPONDENT in The Country Gentle
man explains. The heat continues the
ripenipg process, and if there are any
unsealed cells of honey the honey in
them becomes thicker and ripper instead
of thinner.
Down cellar is where the ordinary
purchaser of comb honey is almost sure
to put it. No place could be more un-
desirable. Dryness and warmth are
the requisites for keeping comb honey:
AS ordinarily kept comb honey will
candy before spring, but by keeping 1t
in warm atmosphere it will not
candy and will really improve with
time.

The Care Of the Aged.

When man or woman passes sew
enty years of age, great care should be
given to the conditions surrounding
him or her for the prolonging of life.
The vital forces are greatly enfeebled
that the period of life, and the powers
of resistance in consequence of age
are the weakest. A man of threescore
years and ten, and over, is like an old
machine that by proper care given to
its condition has been kept running
many years, and is still able to do
work but its wheels and axles and
pinions are much worn and are rickety,
and if it should be pushed, even to a
small extent, in excess Of its diminished
powers, it breaks down and cannot be
repaired, for every part of it is shat
tered. But if worked carefully and in
telligently by person who under
stands its conditions and knows its
capabilities, it can be kept in a much
longer time than would be possible if q
careless engineer controlled it. In
these fast times, however, it is generally
not profitable to husband the resources
of an old machine. But this is not
true as regards our old men and
women. 1t is desirable to hold on to
them as long as possible, and if we CAN
succeed in prolOnging their lives five
or ten years, or more, it will greatly
enhance our happiness.
