Cuban DiarrhoeA.

U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what the
disease is, and that ordinary remedies
have little more effect than so much
water. Cuban diarhoea is almost as
severe and dangerous as mild attack
of cholera. There is one remedy, how
ever, that can always be depended upon
as will be seen by the following certlfi-
cate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of Hous-
ton. Texas: Il hereby certify that
Chamberlain S collie, cholera and diarr-
hoea remedy cured my husband of a
severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea,
which he brought home from Cuba.

him no good. One bottle of this rem
edy cured him. as our neighbors will

PICKING STRAWBERRIES

PlChiNG RA"BERRlES
AS simple as the process may seem the
picking of Strawberries Is after all quite
science and one has only to go to the
market any day to observe how badly
the work is usually done. Strawberries
should be picked with stem one-half
or three fourths of an inch in length,
either for home market or shipment.
If possible every berry should be picked
separately and laid but not dumped in
the box Of course this cannot always
be done. Still we cannot impress the
fact too often on pickers that berries
must be handled very carefully. When
the boxes are nearly full turn the stem
end downward. This gives an attract
i've appearance and we can see no fraud
in this. The berries are no larger, but
look much nicer and it pays to do it.
When pickers get used to this method
they prefer it to the snap and scratch
away. When paying pickers l !. cents
q box the grower has right to demand
that the fruit shall be picked as he de-
sires it.

The moths of the strawberry leaf
roller first appear in May and lay eggs
on the leaves. In about week the
tiny larvae hatch from these eggs and
soon make their future home by rolling
the leaves. After feeding inside the
rolled leaves for about a month they
attain full growth early and then trans
form in the tubes through the pupa
stage, lasting about ten days, into
adult insects or moths. These lay for
another brood which work in July.
Probably still another brood of this pest
occurs or broods still later in the season
and this is the reason we have always
advocated the moving and burning OF
the leaves after the crop is off. The
pest probably hibernates in the pupal
stage. Some authors say that they
are in the soil while others think they
remain in the leaves of the plants. II
old beds are infested the pests can be
effectively destroyed by simply plowing
under in the fall or after the crop is off.
Where new beds occur near old ones,
leave the old bed as trap crop until
late in the fall and then plow under,
thus burying and destroying the at
tached crop of leaf-rollers. AS the
Larvae are so well protected in their
rolled homes. poison spray has not
proven effective. Field & Farm.

LESS EATING IN PUBLIC.
Actively Advocated Theory Is Hav-
ing Marked Effect on the
Business Lunches.

A man who is in touch with the whole
sale business of supplying hotels and
restaurants with food says the actively
advocated theory that Americans eat
too much Is having marked effect on
the habits of city people. This theory
states the Philadelphia Record. is urged
in lectures, in newspaper articles, and
In many private ways TO an extent that
is scarcely realized by anyone who does
not watch closely, and the result is q
noticeable falling on in the amount OF
food eaten by those whose business COM
pels them to eat in public places. The
movement explains, indeed, the grow
ing popularity of the quick-lunch cafe
but not few people are now reducing
other meals, breakfasts particularly,
so that the hearty, full breakfast OF
other days is growing more and more OBJ
solete. This applies, however, only to
the city, according to the experience OF
the observer quoted. In the country the
ancient practice of eating three square
meals day seems to flourish in its
original vigor unimpaired. Whether
the new theory has become sufficiently
universal even in the city to make any
appreciable difference in the health OF
the citizens is a question concerning
which there is as yet no testimony.

WHEN PEOPLE LOSE TASTE
Loss of Smell Nearly Always Ensues,
Yet They Retain Old Likes
and Dislikes.

when people lose their taste" said
a physician, according to the Baltimore
Herald, they retain their old likes and
dislikes, just the same. Miss Smith,
for instance, can't tell slice of roast
beef from fried onion, but she dis
liked onions before her taste went, and
therefore she won't eat them now.
People lose their taste through Sc
we're illnesses, and with the loss OF
taste the loss of smell nearly always
goes. Hence queer, cruel practical
jokes. know a woman without smell
to whom pint of onion juice was sent
in cologne bottle. She deluged her
self with this onion juice and appeared
In a crowded, heated ballroom.
'To a man without taste or smell all
cheeses must be alike, yet old Brown
low won't touch limburger. He says
1t would make him i'll, and probably 1t
would. 1t is very odd to hear these de-
ficient people praising and condemning
food and drink. They do it, though.
They do 1t as heartily as you or I.

away in disgust glass of white wine,

CURIOUS TROPICAL PLANT.
Vine That Possesses Power of Respi-
ration and Is Given to
Coughing.

An interesting vine, known as the
coughing bean, Is respiratory plant
which is native of moist, tropical re-
gions. BY accidental transportation OF
its seeds it has gradually spread to much
less congenial spots, especially railroad
entertainments, where it endures drought
very well, though its growth is stunted.
But there is one thing 1t cannot endure,
and that is dust. When the breathing
pores become choked by dust the gases
accumulate within the leaf for a time
and then are forcibly elected in an aud
ible paroxysm of coughing and sneez-
ing, which makes the leaf tremble vio-
lently. At the same time the whole
plant becomes red owing to the subsid-
ing of the green chlorophyll grains and
the appearance of particles of red color
ing matter on the surface. This odd
vine is sometimes cultivated as house
plant. Sweeping the carpet of the room
in which it lives is very apt to set the
plant to coughing, much to the aston
ishment of persons unfamiliar with its
peculiarities.
