Among the little known tobaccoS Of the
world are those Of Manchuria and Mount
Lebanon. Manchuria tobacco 10 said to
be highly priced throughout China. while
the local consumption is enormous.
Travellers say that the inhabitants Of
Manchuria, both men and women, be-
gin to smoke from the age Of 8 or Q and
continue the practice to the end Of their
lives.
The tobacco of Mount Lebanon Is that
which finds most favor among devout
Arabs. Travellers in that part of the
world describe 1t as being exceedingly
mild and fragrant. The dealers who

Plant Doctors.

The writer of paper in The Con-
temporary Review entitled Wanted,
Plant Doctors" shows how far Britain
Is behind Germany and America In rec
ognizng the Importance of plant pa
thology. He thinks, however, that u
time will come when every agricultur-
al district will have its plant doctor
and when specialists in animal para
sites, cryptogamie botany and bacteri'
ology will be consulted in difficult and
obscure cases. just as the help Of Har-
ley street Is called in by medical prac-
titioners. The practice Of plant medi-
cine is in its infancy; but, with In
creased competition in the growth Of
cultivated crops. the farmer cannot af-
ford to neglect any help that he can
get in keeping the plants under his
care in as high a state of health as pos
sible.

Dreasinu Children,

Not one mother in ten understands the
dressing of children. The possibilities
for daintiness are many. but few women
know just how TO make the best Of them.
The main thing is to choose fabrics that
are easily laundered and dainty and
sheer when made up. Wide laces and
heavy embroidery and coarse, wide tucks
are most impossible trimmings for the
youthful.
II tuckS are employed, they should be
OF the tinieSi width. If lace j. u-rd. il
should be va!encirnpes. Embrodrries
are pretty only when they are Of the
daintiest and most helicate patterns.

Broken china and crockery Of all kinds
may be mended by covering the broken
surface with the unbea:en white Of an
egg and then busting over the egg pow
dered air slaked lime.
Another way is to slake some lime in
boiling water. beat the white of an egg
with a tablespoonful of water and stir in
enough of the slaked lime to form a thick
paste. This cement must be used at
once, as it hardens when kept for n time
Some persons say that cracked china
or crockery is strengthened by placing it
in cold. skinned, sweet milk and boiling

pieces should be held in place by stout

should remain on the china for a week.

method and would advise those who wish
to try it to begin on valueiess bits Of

FIFTY TONS OF CANDY.
Have Been Sent to Our Soldiers in the
Philippine Islands by the Government.

Have Been Sent to Our Soldiers in the
Philippine Islands by the Government.
Fifty tons of candy have been sent to
the soldiers in the Philippine Islands by
the commissary department OF the army
during the last three months and large
amounts to the soldiers in Cuba and Porto
Rico.
This is done upon the advice of the
medical officers of the army, because it is
a physiological fact that moderate con-
sumption of confectionery promotes health
and satisfies a natural craving of the
stomach
Candy was never furnished to the Uni
ted States army before although it has
been commonly used as a ration by the
French and British troops in the tropics
This explodas another old-fashioned the
ory that sweets were injurious to the di-
gestive organs, while a moderate use OF
sweets is actually beneficial
Very few things are injurious and the
food cranks who advocate the use of a
few grains and vegetables and decry the
use of sweets and meats are in error, as
q wholesome variety of meat and vegeta-
BILE food is absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of the highest condition oil
health.
The best rule to follow is to eat what
the appetite Graves, and if there is any
discomfort or trouble in digesting meat
and sweets, the difficulty can be readily
overcome by the regular use after meals
of some safe digestive composed of pepsir
and diastase which will assist the stomach
by increasing the flow of gastric juice and
furnish the natural peptone lacking in
weak stomachs.
The best preparation of this kind is
probably Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
which may be found at all drug stores.
Years of use have demonstrated the
value and effectiveness of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets in all cases of impaired
digestion.
