from overwork. Since the prep

The Board of Educat ion held
session this morning and among
other business transacted it was
decided to adopt the one-session

The idea seemed to prevail
among the members of the board
that better results would be OBJ
tanned by opening school about
$50 in the morning and continue
ing until 1870 or 200 p. M, with
two short intermissions, than by
the old method of morning and
afternoon sessions. No definite
hours for opening and closing
were fixed, and we understand it
is the intention of the board to
allow Prof. Keeper to arrange
that in accordance with what he
believes to be the best interests
of the schools.

FOOD COMBINATIONS.
There Are Scientific Reasons for
the Dietetic Habits Handed Down
from Generation to Generation.

There are many eating habits which.
though followed merely because they
have been customary from time i'm
memorial, really have scientific basis,
says the Dietetic Gazette. Such Is the
eating of butter with bread. which by
itself, though rich in starch, has not
the fat which is dietetically necessary.
Similarly with rice puddings, the milk
is added to make up for the deficiency
of proteid in the rice. The scientific
justification for adding milk to tea Is.
however, of quite a different kind.
Then there is a chemical reason for
adding vinegar to salads. Raw vege-
tables are easily enough digested BY
COWS and horses, but with difficulty
by the human stomach, because they
contain that hard, fibrous substance.
cellulose. But acids dissolve cellulose
to some extent, and vinegar is an acid
That is why it is a good thing to take
vinegar or lemon-juice with salad and
cabbage, and doubtless that is why II
tastes SO well, for the palate is ar
excellent judge of what is good fol
the stomach. The justification fol
adding oil is partly that there is prac
tically no fat in the salad itself ant
partly that it protects the lining o
the stomach from the action of tn
acid in vinegar.

As II has a way of doing, the time
Of the year for making new farm
leases has come around; and. as Is
usual. it is a time of trial to mems
souls. AS long as farms must be leased
this will continue to be true.
What ought the men who rent farms
do when this crisis comes? What ought
the renter DO when it comes to draw
ing up the papers?
Just four things ought to be Kept in
mind when making farm leases: First,
he fair: second, be fair; third, BE
FAIR; and fourth. put it all down IN
writing.
In fact, nine-tenths of the trouble
that men have with their neighbors IN
this world, and perhaps we might say
half of the other tenth, comes from
lack of perfect fairness on some ones
mart: and all the rest comes from neg
Iecting to have the bargain writer
down by some men who is competen
10 do such work. and who has un
bounded patience to listen and to write
lie. L. Vincent. in the Farm journal

REGARDING TABLE LINENS.
A Few Words About the Hemming
and Marking and Concerning
Designs Now Popular.

The simple rolled French hem, done
by hand is the approved way of finish
ing the raw edges of damask table
cloths and napkins. Turn narrow hem
about a quarter of an inch, haste, fold
hack again on the right side of the
fabric, then overland the hem to the
cloth In a top seam. When finished,
iatten and press the hem In place.
Fine damask table linen is some
times hemstitched; the cloth with q
two-inch hem and the napkins with an
inch hem. While this is an exception
ally dainty way of finishing. it cannot
stand hard usage.
Plain white damask Is preferred to
any fancy weaves in color combina'
lions for any meal excepting five
o'clock tea, or an elaborate luncheon
Sometimes a plain line is handsomely
decorated at home by border sprays
and q center garland large enough II
encircle a handsome bowl or vase O.
flowers. While crest, monogram o.
initials may be embroidered on linel
at any of the large shops where linel
is sold, most women prefer to do tn
necessary marking with their owl
needles.

A Tribute to Weather Conditions in
Western Canada.

During the early portion of February,
of this year, the Middle and Western
States suffered severely with the in
tense cold and winters storms. Trains
were delayed, cattle suffered, and there
was much general hardship. While
this was the case, throughout Western
Canada, now attracting 80 much atten-
ton. the weather was perfect.
One correspondent writes: I'VE are
enjoying most beautiful weather, the
gentlemen are going to church without
ton coats, while the ladies require mo-
heavier outer clothing than that af-
forded by light jackets" In contrast
with this it is interesting to read in .

We do not think sufficient attention
is given to our vegetable gardens.
Often the wife has exclusive charge OF
it. getting a most precarious help from
the farm labor at odd times.
We would make suggestion which
though not original works we'll AT
the end Of the rows in the fields near
est the residence leave on each side
about one-fourth of an acre. Mancre
these terminals at the same time you
fix for the field of cotton, OF
whatever else, only put larger guam
tity. Plant on these the coarse yari-
ties of vegetables, avoiding only the
running kinds. Pillow them of course
the same time you pillow the same
field crop row, and hoeing when neces-
sary. This plan makes attention to the
garden a certainty, and 1t will by this
system stand a drought much better
than when in a heated-up old garden
spot. The choicest and most delicate
vegetables may be planted in the gar
den Enclosure.
We are glad to contribute anything
which tends to increase the vegetable
raising in our section. We know o
nothing which is more acceptable OF
our table than these healthy, delight
