Midsummer Vegetable Gardening.

Nearly the entire list of garden veg
etables may be sown in midsummer,
around July and August, with fair
chance producing excellent crops all
during autumn, but no time should be
lost in planting if one desires to raise
such late crops, and the ground must
be worked deep and thorough. Beans,
beets, carrots, sweet corn, cucumbers,
kohl, rabi, lettuce, okra, peas, rad
ishes, spinach, squash, turnips and
some other kinds will all do we'll if
sown during the above time, and to-
matoes, cabbages and caulihower
plants should produce crops. In case
of protracted drouth it may become
necessary to water the young plants
and the ground should be kept light
and loose during the entire season.

Dust in Once Buildings.

Modern Office buildings with me-
chanical OR other powerful ventilation
apparatus have been much troubled
by dust. Experiments have been car
ried out for the passing of the air
through the fabric of long bags. A
number of bags, thirty feet long, sus'
pended in framework, formed FL
tering medium through which the air
was forced before its entry into the
building. The bags hung vertically,
and the dust tended to settle in the
bottom of the same. A quantity OF
dust was thus arrested, measuring sew.
eral quarts in limited time. Great
improvement resulted from the filtra.
tion of the air.

OUR PIRATE WAR,
Little Struggle Almost Forgotten by the
Present Generation.

A, little war, which seems to be
forgotten by the present generation,
was that waged by the Government
against the West Indian pirates.
They were tho outgrowth of the pri-
vateer system OF slave trading, and of
the demoralized conditions of life
upon the Spanish islands in the An.
titles. These cutthroats of the sea
began to make depredations upon
commerce as early as 1911, when they
were found to have been guilty of
wrecking ships by setting false lights
or giving false information, and also
by preying upon very small American
craft. They grew bolder during the
war with Great Britain, and their
captures of British ships were charged
by the English to Americans and of
American ships to the English. In
addition to this, Spain was engaged,
as usual, in cutting the throats of its
subjects in nearly every Spanish pos
session around the Caribbean, so that
civilization and society were thor
oughly demoralized. 1t was not until
1919 that the United States waxed in
dignant and Commodore Oliver Haz-
ard Perry was detailed to take charge
of naval expedition. He visited the
waters and began negotiations with
the South American governments
with view of obtaining the neces-
sary information. He was stricken
down with yellow fever and died near
Trinidad Island.
The work went along slowly. Not
until five light draught vessels and
three gunboats were sent to the Ca
ribbean did operations begin in ear
nest. On October 16, 1921, the first
engagement occurred, in which two
pirate schooners were burned, three
captured and forty pirates sent to
Charleston. The following March
four pirate barges and three launches
were captured. In 1922 Commodore
James Biddle arrived with other ships.
The force increased worked more
rapidly. Ship after ship was cap
tured throughout the remainder of
the year. In 1923 Captain David
Porter took charge of the force and
kept up the work. BY the close of
1924 the navy had destroyed more
than 200 piratical craft, had killed or
captured about 1000 members of the
Brotherhood of the Coast" as they
called themselves. and dismantled
every pirate fort and broke up every
known resort. few of the outlaws
were left, who continued to prey upon
local craft, but these, in turn, soon
disappeared the moment steam ves-
sells came into use in that part of the
orld.-New York Mail and Express.

The Board OF Aldermen of Cam
bridge, Mass, seems favorably dis
posed towards curfew ordinance
providing that children under sixteen
years old shall nos be in the streets
after half past nine in the evening un-
less accompanied by parent or
guardian, or furnished with q note
written the same day authorizing
them to be away from homo. This
ordinance, which has progressed SO
far as enrolment, has a majority Of
five to three behind it, and its effects
are likely to be tried. Its enforce
ment will call for much discretion on
the part of the police, and the expert
ence that Cambridge has with it will
doubtless influence the action OF
other New England cities. The objec-
ton is made that Cambridge is too
much of city for the ordinance to be
enforced without hardship, but Cam
bridge is not too much OF city to
tolerate no-license law, aud where q
no-license law gives public satisfac
ton curfew ordinance may work
well too. -Harper's Weekly.

Duckwheat to Clean Land.

The midsummer plowing which is
required to fit land to seed with buck
wheat kills many of the weeds plowed
under at this time, and after the grain
is up its broad leaf prevents most of
the annual weeds from starting. The
buckwheat root and stalk are not eaten,
SO far as we know, by any kind of
worm or insect. The crop is some
times sown three years in succession to
starve out cut worms and wire worms,
where the land is so infested with
them that no other crop can be grown.

Thinning Early Apples.

Most of tho early apples are
abundant bearers, and are apt to be
small. Those that are sweet are not
good for much until ripe. But Early
Harvest and the Twenty Ounce apple
will bear picking when two-thirds
grown, and make excellent pies. If
this is done in all lsparts of the tree,
plucking few apples where they are
fullest on the bouga, it will make
what apples remain much larger and
better, besides supplying early apples
for household use.

Bessemer, October 25.-(Special.)-A great many complaints are being made by the people living along the banks, or in the vicinity of Valley creek, about the un- healthy condition of that stream. The creek passes along the outskirts of town. and the impure character of the water IS a matter of some moment to Bessemer peo- pie. The creeks impure condition finds its source in Birmingham, and the numerous cases of typhoid and malarial fever along it's banks are the result of this impurity. Many families living near it have been compelled to give up their homes. So seri- ous has the matter become that vigorous complaints have been made to the county commissioners and through them to the county board of health. The health of this valley requires that radical measures be at once adopted to abolish the nuisance.

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart burn or sour stomach, is form of indiges- tion resulting from fermentation of the food. The stomach being too weak to promptly digest it, the food remains until fermentation begins. fill ng the stomach with gas and bitter, sour, burning taste in the mouth is often present This con- dition soon becomes chronic and being an every day occurrence is given but little at tention Because dyspepsia is not imme- diately fatal, many people do nothing for the trouble.
 Within recent period a remedy has been discovered prepared solely to cure dyspep- sia and stomach troubles. It is known as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, and is now be- coming rapidly nsed and prescribed as a radical cure for every form of dyspesia.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been placed before the public and are sold by druggists everywhere at 50 cents per pack age, It is prepared by the Stuart Chemi- cal Co.,, Marshall, Mich, and while it promptly and effectually restores a vigor- ous digestion, at the same time is perfectly harmless and will not injure the most deli cate stomach, but on the contrary by giv- ing perfect digestion strengthens the stom- ach, improves the appetite and makes life worth living.
