Does Country Life Aref

The day is gone when a married wo-
man with little children was classed as a
matron and left to sit on the shelf, to
grow fat and order her household and her
nurseries. A woman's occupations in
these days keep her going all the time,
and this preserves her vitality and youth.

make their country house their pied-a-

live there--grow much more rotund and

DO Fertilizers Convey Poisons

Arsenic poisoning from beer drinking
has recently created quite n sensation
in England. and in seeking for the
cause the fact seems to have been es-
tablished that the poisoning occurred
only through beer that was brewed
solely from malt and hops. The Eng
lish Lancet suggests as the source of
the poison the use of artificial manures
which contain arsenic in easily soluble
form. 1t remarks that superphosphate
of lime, the basis of artificial manure.
Is produced by the action of common
oil of vitriol on ordinary bone ash; that
it has been established that plants to
which arsenical manure is applied take
up arsenic in their tissues, and cab
bages and turnips gathered from fields
manured with superphosphates have
given unmistakable evidence of the
presence Of arsenic. 1t is probable. ac-
cording to this authority. that arsenic
accumulates in soil which is constantly
dressed with superphosphate, so that
plants grown on such soil would absorb
arsenic and injuriously affect the
health of man and animals.
