Things Out Of siaht.

At this season of the year, when
cellars are being filed with the pro-
visions for winter, the utmost p;.ins
should be taken TO provide against the
introduction of unnecessary dirt and
decaying substances. Tubers to be
stored in the food cellar should .irst
be either brushed or washed, that 40
unnecessary dirt may be introduced
into the room. Everything should be
SO placed and arranged as to facili-
tate frequent cleanirgs. and to pre-
vent the accumulation Of dust and
dirt In hooks and corners.
Each autumn and spring. the en-
tire contents 6f the cellar should be
literally turned out Of DOORS" and
every portion of the room thorough

practicable way. At any time an
odor OF 1lustiness in the cellar should
be considered signal of danger, to

employed Examine the drainage and

"1he calI Of the WiIdernes,.r

The Return to Nature" cry, which
is becoming so prevalent and insistent
in these days of physical degeneracy
is. according to Richard A. Haste, an
effort of nature to preserve the race.
I'VE are" he says, becoming over
civilized. The red blood is thinning in
our veins and the marrow OF our
bones is drying up. The world is too
much with is. We are wasting our
powers and losing sight of our origin.
But there are times when We are
reminded OF our interchangeable free.
dom of unlimited space. and our kin

midst of our struggles to get on. when
surfeited with books or brain-fagged
with too much thinking, when the fin
gers have grown numb with the han
ding of ledgers, and the eyes dim
with gazing at the ever-present dollar
sign; in the agony of soul-repression
that attends this eternal strife of get.
ting and spending, there comes to
every one. like the echo of a memory,
the distant call of the wilderness. The
call is insistent-the impulse to heed

Physical Reinforeements.

One of the most sensible things a
person can do, whether he is sick or
wei. is to reinforce his strength as
fas. as possible, by availing himself
of all the assistance that he can Sc
cure by the enthusiastic and intelli-
geut employment of the various phys
iolgical agencies that are within his
| reach.
che most important trio of natural
remedies is dietetics. hydrotherapy

agencies are pure air. light in various
forms. electricity and cheerfulness.
Most people could very materially in
erase their physical defense by Sc

Paid the Wrono Man.

A builder in Pennsylvania. having
heard that the men did not start work
at the proper time. thought he would
drop down about $3.50 one morning
and see. Going up the yard he caught
sight of a joiner standing smoking,
with his kit not even opened. Simply
asking his name, which he found to be
Jake Robertson. he called him into
the office. and handing him four days
pay told him to leave at once.
After having seen the man clear OF
the yard. he went up to the foreman,
and told him he had made an example
of Jake Robertson by paying him on
for not starting to work at the proper
hour.

Dyspepsia a Cause Of Badness.

There are doubtless many causes of
premature degeneration Of the hair,
resulting In the loss OF color and in
badness; but by far the most fre.
quent cause is dyspepsia. Defective
nutrition Is the great cause Of degen-
erations Of all sorts and the general
principle holds good of the hair as
well as Of other structures. Our OBJ
servations on this subject fully accord
with those of a physician who. in an
article on the subject of premature
gray hair and badness, in a foreign
Journal, attributes 1t to bad diet. Bad
diet causes dyspepsia. and this occa-

wiidness of the Turkey.

The wildness OF the turkey has
never been bred out OF 1t, except in a
minor degree. Breeding the turkey in
confinement has seldom been at.
tempted by farmers that have
made business of raising tur-
keys. They have recognized the
fact that the turkey requires free
dom and a considerable territory
to roam over. Instead Of attempting
to breed out this quality, they have
catered to 1t. The work of breeding
out the wildness has hardly begun.
The wild instincts are also retained
by the use Of new turkeys captured
from the woods. The elimination of
the instinct for roaming would greatly
increase the number of turkeys being
raised in the country.

Exhibitors of poultry say that birds
are injured for future use by long con-

are taken from place to place and are

CLEANING the Fence corners.

1t seems a shameful waste that on
SO many farms the fence corners are
used as catch-alls for all sorts of rub
bish and worn.out machinery, and
sometimes even for good machinery
which should be under cover IL 1t Is
expected to do the service that is re-.
quired of 1t. On some farms there is
enough land going to waste in these
neglected corners to support a fam.
lily. II anything at all is raised on
them it is usually a crop of weeds.
Now would suggest that farmers
who have been negligent or thought
less in this respect place 1t upon
themselves as one of their fall tasks
that they will have all rubbish corners
on their land cleaned out and the land
used to some purpose. Not only will
they then be getting an income from
all the land in which they have in
vested money and on which they are
paying taxes, but their farms will take
on a neat, well-cared for appearance
which they have not known for a long
while.-E. v. Ragan. Oneida Co., Wis.

STRIKERS SEEK JOBS.
SUBWAY STILL CRIPPLED.
Leaders Declare Struggle Unended
-M0t0rmen Expelled.

The ability of the strikers to hamper the
Elevated and subway service seriously ended
Yesterday, and, though their leaders declared
lihe struggle would continue, many strikers
sought unemployment with the Interborough.
The national officers of the Brotherhood of
locomotive Engineers expelled the members
Of the subdivision here and revoked its
charter.
The subway, however, was still badly Grip
pied, though thousands used it, and the SER
vice of the elevated roads, with the excep-
zion of the 6th-ave. line, were still far from
normal conditions. There was much conges-
tion Of passengers, and there were several
accidents, due TO the crush and the inexperi-
snce of strike breakers in starting trains.
The Interborough officials declared that
1,4OO union strikers and $50 non-union strik-
'ers had asked for their former places. Be
tween twenty and thirty striking motormen
had been accepted and put at work, these Off
Gals asserted.
The strikers held brief meeting at night,
seeming much discouraged. Their leaders
told them they would win if they stuck it
out, but there was 10 enthusiasm.
Threats Of violence and the use of dvna-
mite led the Interborough and police to double
the armed guards around the power houses
and terminals where the strike breakers are
quartered
