SUGAR BETS MAY ASSIST
ENGLISH FARM MOVEMENT.
New Factor Arises to EeIp Back to
the Land" Crusades.

A new impetus has been given the
"back to the land" movement in Eng
land by the development of the sugar
beet industry in certain districts. Lon
don is still growing. and the other large
cities. like Liverpool, have been driven
to desperate measures by the conges-
ton in the worst sections OF the cities.
so that anything which will keep the
country boy on the farm is eagerly well
coined and promoted. The English
small farmer who raises his round OF
crops is just as independent and hearty
as his American co-worker. but not
quite so prosperous. and the beet sugar
profits look huge and magnificent to
him.
A Dutch English company is behind
the movement, and the first factory for
the manufacture has been established
at Maldon. The scheme is to insure a
fixed and certain income to the farmer
larger than anything he can common
~ make from his acreage by contract
ing with him for a certain figure be.
fore the seed is in the ground, as is
practiced in America.
This affords a certain market and
sure returns. The crop is paid for at
the rate of So a ton. a fixed price. so
the small farmer escapes those weeks
of agony while he waits for the mar
ket to f1uctuate until it reaches the
place where he thinks he ought to sell.
Fifteen tons of beets to the acre is
the normal yield. and at the English
rate that would guarantee an income
to the farmer of S75 an acre out of
which to live and pay his labor
The continent of Europe has devel-
oped this branch of agriculture more
than is commonly supposed. There are
more than 100000 acres planted in
sugar beets every year. and it is hoped
that the development of such a profita-
BILE kind of farming in England will
induce the countryman to stay on his
farm and Il portion of the vast city
population to seek health and broad

BRUISED FINGER NAILS.
A Simple Remedy That Keeps Them
From Turning Black.

A Simple Remedy That Keeps Them
From Turning Black.
A young woman who was going to a
debutante dinner the next evening
bruised three of the finger nails of her
right hand badly by catching them in
a door. Visions of an unsightly hand,
possibly one in a sling, drove her to
the telephone to get in touch with her
physician.
His advice was: Get yourself a
comfortable chair and an interesting
book, set yourself by a stationary
washstand in such a way that the
fingers can be held upright under the
faucet. then turn on the cold water
and let it run over the bruised fingers
for at least three-quarters of an hour,
preferably longer.
of the water gets too cold or chills
you during that time turn it off for a
hand get out of the upright position
so the blood can run into the bruised
finger and blacken."
The maiden's hand was unmarried
for her dinner. and she was so de
lighted with the remedy she told it
for the benefit of the guests. one at
least of whom has tried this cure re-
peatedly since. being inclined to awk-
wardness and badly bruised fingers.
No matter how bad the hurt. unless
the finger is mashed the throbbing
will not be followed with weeks of
blackened nails.-Exchange

March i. congress passed special act
authorizing the United States consul

when Pierce was taking the oath of
Office at Washington.
This arrangement was carried out TO
