4 puckerless persimmon is b hope
"a of the future. Department OF agri.
culture officials are figuring on a fruit
that will not draw the jawbone out OF
place and yet a be transported a
reasonable distance without spelling.
A blending of varieties or treatment
by chemical processes are the
by which it is expected to eliminate
the puckering qualities.
Japanese persimmons hold the
record for size. They also have all

The American flavor won out, while
the Japanese hardness and irmness
remained.
On the theory that there cannot be
too much OF a good thing. the Japa-
nese often heat their persimmons with
the fumes of saki. thereby weakening
the puckering power. Experiments
have been tried by the agricultural dc.
partment and something may be nc
complished along those lines. Jus4
what liquor is being used to graduate
the flavor is guarded as a secret.
To help things along a new kind Of
persimmon has been discovered down
In Texas. Nobody knows its origin.
1t just grew up. 1t does not produce
pickering when eaten hard and the
taste left in the mouth Is equal to
that of fully ripened fruit.

PLAN TO PROTECT
 BUSINESS HOUSES
The Eagle Detective Agency Devises Detective Patrol System and Service to Prevent Crime.

The Eagle National Detective Agency has decided to add to the scope of it's present enterprise by in- augurating a system of protection for merchants, which is expected to be a great protection to them from shop lifting and other depredations by crooks. All establishments taking the service will be furnished with a sign announcing that the concern is pro- tected by the Eagle Detective Agency. Detectives will patrol the business district at all times, and the amount of protection vii. be increased dul ing holiday seasons. The Eagle Detective 4 gency is managed by Supt Axel Johnson.
 Business concerns in most of the large cities are employing the services of reliable detective agencies, having come to realiza ton of the enormous losses suffered each year by the dep- relations of shoplifters, swindlers, sneak thieves, dishonest clerks and others.
 The management of the Eagle Ma tional Detective Agency of this city has been approached at different times by several of the leading mercantile concerns of Bride eport a with view to safeguarding their interest along si1ni- lar lines.
 The management of the agency has investie ated thoroughly the different systems in use in New York, Boston, Philadelph a, Baltimore, and other cit ies, and has decided to establish 8 Mercantile Protective Service along the lines of those successfully operated in these cities.
