aThere IS something worse than q
crude avoidance Of what Is false, =
says woman writer In the Manches-
ter Guardian. "and that is a crude inn
itation of what is old" She makes a
sturdy onslaught on the "pictur-
esQue" houses that have become pop
ular in England, and in this country,
for that matter. Her indictment is
feminine and interesting It is from
the point of view Of the wife who
lives inside such a dwelling, rather
than OF the husband whose days are
spent at his office. or the observer
who notes and admires "Quaintness !"
as he passes.

Growing Tobacco In Maine.

1t has apparently remained for Pope
Gibbs to demonstrate in his own gar
den, situated about a mile from the
Soldiers Home in Togus, that tobac-
co can be successfully grown in
Maine. Last year Mr.. Gibbs raised
about eighty pounds Of tobacco from
seventy-nine plants. This year he
raised very nearly the same amount
from only thirty-fiye plants, the sea-
son being much more favorable for the
growth of the plant. Mr.. Gibbs had
no difficulty in disposing Of the tobac-
co which he raised last year and
which was generally conceded to be
of excellent quality. He cured 1t in
his barn, which has ventilator and
where by opening the doors he was
able to get the current of air neces-
sary for the best results. the cohdi-
tions being quite as favorable as in
the best tobacco-curing plants of the
south. The opinion was very general
ly expressed last season that while
Mr.. Gibbs was successful in raising
tobacco in this state, it would not be
possible to mature the seed here. This
year he has disproved this idea by
maturing a tobacco stalk more than
seven feet high with an exceptionally
we'll developed cluster Of seeds.-Ken.

Whether the wife supports or is
supported by the husband whose
house she keeps and whose children
she rears seems to be rather futile
question, and one wonders at the
vehemence which was displayed by
the feminine disputants who raised
1t, contends the New York Times, OF
course, the answer to the question
depends on the meaning one gives
to the word support" though none
Of the eloquent controversialists
thought of agreeing on definition.
AS terms are commonly used, the
efficient and dutiful husband I'M
doubtedly supports his family and in
cidentally himself. That is his chief
business In life--what he Is here for,
as the saying is. When he dies or
otherwise departs nobody hesitates to
say that the wife's status is changed,
and that from supported she becomes
supporter, If she can, and the rela-
tives or the town authorities do not
intervene. When one Of the speakers
asked what was said Of husband
who stayed at home and looked after
the house while his wife went out and
earned money for food and clothes
for him. the debate ought to have
ended, for the answer is obvious and
Of double applicability, There is.
however, such thing as supporting
the supporter, and the issue of in
feriority is not necessarily involved in

Goats Repaired Reservoir.

AT Cokedale, camp of the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company,
leaky reservoirs have been giving
more or less trouble Of late, and many
schemes had been tried to stop the
leaking, without avail, until Superin.
tendent Bayles and Engineer Sutton
hit upon the idea of turning herd
of goats into the reservoir.
After the goats had thoroughly
trampled down the bottom of the basin
water was again turned in and the
reservoir holds as well as if it had
been freshly cemented.- Trinidad

Great men and women were born
in the year 1909. Great men and
women will be born in the year 1909,
prophesies the Christian Register.
Whence they will come and out Of
what stratum Of society they will be

ture is so rich and large, and so bound
together in all its parts that out of
any family or race at any time may

most exalted moral character, The
genealogists make much Of lists and

front This Government.

Former Secretary of the Treas
ury Leslie M. Shaw, in h speech
at the dinner of the Maritime
Association Saturday, after de-
ploring the country's lack of
a merchant marine, and stating
that all American trade in South
American ports is being carried
in vessels under foreign flags,
launched into possibilities of war
with Japan. He said:
Japan could put 200, 900 troops
in Hawaii within thirty days af-
ter declaration of hostilities.
And we couldn't put 100, 900
troops there to defend the island
in two years in transports bear
ing our flag. Ibelieve in build
ing new battleships, but there's
another side to the question. If
all the powder mills in the Uni
ted States were to turn over their
manufacture of powder for fire
arms to the government for one
year, we would be able to fight
with it in our army and navy for
just two hours. If all Of these
mills did nothing but manufac-
ture smokeless powder for the
government and gave up for the
time being their manufacture of
blasting powder and other like
materials, they could in one
month turn out only enough am
munition for two hours in fight

The Benefit of the Doubt.


A distinguished literary man
of the last century once lost a
valued friend by failing to speak
to him on the street. The little
rift" that opened then went on
widening until friendship was
dead between them. Afterwards,
it was found that the literary
man was excessively nearsighted!

out certainly whether he meant
it, before you take ofense? And
meantime, give him the benefit

TASTE YOUR FOOD.

The Fletcher plan is to simp-
ly taste your food. And to taste
your food you have to chew it
even soup. Taste is a chemical
matter, and requires a little time.
Until the saliva gets we'll mixed
with your food you do not taste
it. So sip, taste, taste, and taste
again. Taste, chew and masti-
cate!
Taste is the test.
Eat anything you want.
Eat all of it that tastes good.
Chew, masticate, grind, and you
do not have to swallow The food
becomes fluid in your mouth and
disappears. The alimentary canal
is thirty-tWo feet long, and you
only control your food the first
three inches Of it. Here you can
bring mind to- bear, and if you
do, Dietetic Righteousness will
soon become a habit.
DON t BE AN ANIMATED GARBAGE

To use strong drink to excess
is always a disgrce.
Intemperance in eating should

Drink is not the only enemy

steal away your brains. Excess

Wiser Eating Viii Make You 30
per Cent More Efficient.

per Cent More Efficient.
Ebert Hubbard declares that
this would be an average result
|of following Horace Fletcher's
famous rules for eating Chew
your food till itsswallows itself"
is the one great overshadowing
principle.
In last weeks Southern Farm
Gazette we promised to give in
this issue Horace Fletcher's now
famous rules for eating. AS off
cially stated by the Harvard
School Dispensary, they are as
follows:
I'D Eat only in response to
an actual appetite, which will be
satisfied with plain bread and
butter.
''(2)Chew all solid food until
| it is so liquid that at practically
swallows itself.
"(3) Sip and taste all Liquids
that have taste, suchas soup and
lemonade. Water has no taste
land can be swallowed immedi-
lately.
20 Never take food while
angry or worried, and only when
calm. Waiting for the mood in
connection with the appetite is a
speedy cure for both anger and
worry"
These are the four rules, but
the greatest of these is the sec
ond; Chew your food until it be-
comes so liquid that it practically
swallows itself" never drink
anything with the food, of course
but letting the natural saliva
bring about this result.
And the second great rule is
against oyer-eating Eat only
so long as bread and butter would
taste good to YOU
These rules of Horace Fetch
er's have accomplished such mar
velous results, and SO many thous-
ands of people have been benefit
ted, and in many cases almost
re-made, by following them, that
Ebert Hubbard is probably not
exag geratingsswhen he declares
in a recent number of The Era:
The average American family
by following the Fletcher meth
DDS, can decrease the cost Of it's
food supply twenty per cent and
increase its mental and physical
effectiveness thirty per cent.
This estimate is fair, safe,
conservative and carefully con-
sidered. These are figures which
you can prove for yourself by
practicing this plan, and on this
plan there is no copyright. These
figures have been proven by DR..
Bowditch of Boston, Professor
James Of Harvard, DR.. Russell
Fl. Chittenden of New Haven,
and Professor Anderson, Physi-
cal Director of Yale, through ex-
periments carried on with micro
scopic care.
TESTS AT YALE AND WEST POINT.
Glasses Of say a dozen volun-
teer young men were taken at
Yale, and also at West Point, and
with no change of diet, were
simply told to Fletcherize.
Forty minutes were taken for
each meal instead of twenty.
The physical work of each was
gradually increased, also the
class lessons, and the result in
all cases was a decrease in the
cost of living and an increased
brain and Drawn.
