The movement for uniform laws
governing the operation Of motor ve-
hicles throughout the United States is
gaining strength through the activi-
ties of the various automobile asso-
Citations in the country, and the prob
lem will be one Of the chief matters
for consideration at the meeting here
in January of the American Auto
mobile Association. 1t is not believed
that exactly similar laws will be
adopted by all of the States, but 1t is
hoped that uniformity relative to ex
animation of drivers, registration Of
cars, signals. road signs, ETC., can be
obtained.

Value of a Good Garden.

A good home garden is great instl-
tuition. 1t means more on many farms
than the crop of wheat, corn or oats.
1t furnishes food for the family
throughout the summer, and, If prop.
erly handled, a liberal supply for win.

tables for sale almost every week. 1t

family and should be planned with the
utmost care ano given the very best
attention.

Wisdom in Buying Feed.

When much food is to be bought
the aim should be to grow so much
coarse fodder that whatever is bought
will be bought in the shape Of fer
tilizer. The wisdom Of doing this
arises from the less cost of transport
ing concentrates because of the less
bulk which they contain in proportion
to their nutriment. The fertilizer may
be very prontably used in growing the
coarse folders needed

Back to the Farm.

There are three all-important things
TO be weighed by the city man who
wishes to return to the farm. The
first is his wife. If she is in every
sense of the word a helpmate, loves
the country and can give up what she
has been used to in the city for the
sake OF the children and the building
of real home, then the prospects are
fairly favorable to begin with. The
second thing to be considered is your
years and capacity for work; the
third, what is your capital? If all
these are favorable, don't lose day
In trying to get suitably located. If
any one of these points is doubtful,
deliberate we'll and move slowly. II
you have fat bank account and a
wife tied to the fleshpots of the city
you can do nothing in the country;
but, On the other hand, If your wife
be one with you heart and soul, then
capital might at pinch be forgotten
AS to the second point-that of years
and capacity for work-this is very
important, because so many OF those
who are earnestly desirous of forsak
| Ing the city to-day are we'll advanced
In years, who think that the country
would afford them an easy means Of
earning living. There is nothing
easy on the farm.

Loss on Farm Crops Due to Fungi.
Prof. w. A. Orton, in an article on
the Importance of the development of
farm crops resistant to disease, justi-
fies his statements by pointing out
that the present losses from plant dis
eases are heavy tax upon the farmer.
He states that in the United States
alone the average annual loss from oat
smut is more than $6,500,000; from
loose-smut of wheat, $3,000,000, and
from bunt, or sinking smut of wheat,
more than $11,OOO,O6O. Loose-smut an
nually diminishes the value of barley
$2,000,000, a careful estimate of the
loss in one State last year placing it
as per cent. The combined effect of
the various diseases of fungal origin
attacking. the potato diminish the

DANGER IN LICKING STAMPS
Acute Inflammation of the
Tongue.

Do the people who jeer at the eau
tious ones who refuse to lick a post
age stamp as "cranks" know that there
is defined disease known as "the
postage stamp tongue?"
This Is an acute Inflammation of the
tongue, directly traced to the germs to
be found on the gummed side of stamp
or envelope.
Other and more serious diseases
have been caused by this habit that Is
so universal and seems so, harmless.
One throat specialist In a. hospital
declares that many chronic affections
OF the throat are found among persons
who have as their livelihood the ad-
dressing and stamping of envelopes.
Bad skin diseases have ben known
to follow this habit, and it has even
caused pulmonary troubles.
1t is after all buOa habit, and a bad
one. II takes no more time and is
quite as easy to moisten the stamp
with damp sponge or rag.
Where many letters must be
stamped and sealed there are good pa
tent inventions by which the sponge
is kept moist

In the last half-hour--not since Miss

could not come to the dinner. which
was then ready to be served.
Her mother had rushed up to her
room. "Margery! Margery!" she
clamored. Throw aside those les

Then Mrs. Haight rushed out of the
room and Louise had rushed In and
Margery had rushed into the blue
gown and the next thing she really
knew was when she was clinging de-
spairingly to the arm Of the ugly
young man and wondering what on
earth she had been saying.
The young man did not seem to no

down-he was tall young man
