Ripening Green Tomatoes.
m tine Garden Aavaxiue

Tomatoes will not stand frost, and late in
the fall there are often a great many fruits
still left on the vines. These can be ripened
in many ways. Spade UP piece of ground
in a warm and sheltered corner. Pull up
the whole plants with the fruit on. Spread
them on the ground and cover with straw
leaves or burlap. Here the fruits will ripen'
beautifully. Another way is to turn a dry
goods box into ripening house. Put In
sliding shelves that can easily be showed In
and out to enable you to examine the toua-
toes and close-fitting door. Keep a warm
moist atmosphere tn the box .and the fruits
wiz ripen well without the sum- Be careful
that no rottnS fruits are allowed To remain

1t will surprise great many people to
learn that Great Britain consumed more
beer than Germany and that Belgium con-
stunned more whisky than Germany: that
Germany consumed more spirits than Great
Britain. while Belgium consumes more
spirits and more beer Per capita than either
country.
These figures do not correspond with the
reports issued by the British government,
which makes the consumption in the unit
ed kingdom much less than 1t Is mere
given. For example. our bureau Of sta
tistics. as above stated and 1 believe the
figures are for the year 1903, charges the
people Of the united kingdom with drink
ing 5S.31S.317 gallons OF spirits. 1.JoO. 100 600
gallons OF beer and 16,646.933 gallons of
wine. while the official returns Of the COM
missioner Of inland revenue report the con-
sum ption Of only 80, 369. 789 gallons of beer,
"a. 765. 1s5 gallons Of spirits and S.55O.613
gallons Of wine.
Menace to the Army
At any rate. the drink bill has been SUI
ficently large to create great alarm among
thinking people of Great Britain. and is
frequently referred to in the official reports
Of the surgeons who make physical exami-
nations of recruits for the army.
A very large per cent Of those offering
themselves for enlistment are rejected be-
cause Of physical degeneracy. attributed d.
rectIy to the Incorporate habits Of their
parents or the men themselves. This alarm
ing fact has provoked discussion in the
newspapers. IN the pulpit and even in par
lament, as well as In medical circles and
temperance socities. The excessive use of
alcohol and inadequate nourishment. par
tcularly of children, is causing physical de-
generation among the British race, and
Lloyd George and other economists are ask
ing each other, What are we going to do
about it?'
At the war Office the problem Is a prae-
teal one. because the recruiting officers
are finding great difficulty in filing the
ranks Of the army. Enlistments are very
slow and large proportion of the men who
offer themselves are rejected. Several
means have been adopted to attract bet
ter class of material to show the army. but
they have not been effective. The latest al
lurement comes in the form of proclama-
ton by his royal majesty Edward VII. king
and emperor, who says. 1T Is our will and
pleasure to offer a money bounty as well
f1ciency among the private soldiers.
Before the Boer war an ordinary private
in the British army was paid a shilling q
day. Tommy Atkins wages were raised in
order to fill the ranks In South Africa, SO
that he now receives Is Sd, or 80 cents
day in addition to mess and kit allowances.
food and clothing to such ltberal!ty that
a careful man can save several pounds
year. Now 1t is proposed to reward the
faithful by increasing their compensation
for good behavior After three years OF
service sergeants who have good conduct
marks and have shown high degree of eff
ficiency are to receive a shilling day ex
ira. lance sergeants, 10 pence; eorporals 8
pence. and privates pence per day, to con-

Special Correspondence Of The Star and the Chicago

LONDON, October 5, 1896
Everybody agrees that the pauperism and
poverty in the united kingdom. of which
gave you the official figures last spring, Is
very largely due to intemperance among
the working classes. The free traders claim
that it Is almost entirely due to that cause.
The protectionists attribute portion of the
responsibility to the fiscal policy OF the gov
eminent and argue that the adoption of a
protective tariff upon imported mercha ndise
will go very far toward relieving the situa-
ton. In a measure they may be right, but
as long as there is "a public house on every
corner. ras the temperance agitators say,
and the working men spend an average OF
80 year for drink. poverty and pauperism
must be expected. Excepting the Belgians.
the people OF the united kingdom are the
heaviest drinkers in the world In proportion
to their population. and the working people
spend larger per cent Of their wages for
beer. gin and other alcoholic poisons than
those Of any other country except Belgium.
