PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more ac-
curate, in selecting the right kind Of
food to fit the body, than that of
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per-
suade him to take more than one taste
of any kind of cereal food. He was
weak little chap and we were puz-
Zled to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such a relish, and it did me
good to see him.. From that day on
it seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper, and !
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance Is
something wonderful.
MY husband had never fancied ce-
real foods of any kind, but he be-

I'VE are now a healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with rickets. l was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack Of proper nourishment. They
showed it. So I urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical

course, my friend is firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence

ERADICATION OF WEEDS BY
FREQUENT SURFACE STIRRING
Roots Corn Occupy Entire Space Between
Has Reached Height of Eighteen Inches
Avoid Deep Cultivation.

II anyone will study the root system
of corn he will see that by the time it
is Is inches high the roots fill the en-
tire space between the rows at the
point where they can secure moisture,
not above that point and not to any
great extent below 1t.
II in the preparation Of the seed bed
close capillary connection has not
been made with the subsoil, or rather
the undersoil and soil on top, then we
would say that deep cultivation one
way before the corn is up would be
very desirable, says Wallace's Farmer.
If the plow goes down deep, even If
the corn row is covered up, cross har-
rowing will prevent 1t from interfer-
ng with the upward movement of the
corn; and after that cultivation should
be made with the one definite idea not
of killing weeds but of conserving
moisture by the development of a
mulch of loose dirt.
Under ideal conditions this is all
that is needed; but that dirt mulch
must be maintained. The thing that
interferes with 1t most is the rains
that come so frequently during the
corn cultivating season. The rain
runs the loose surface soil together,
particularly if it is deficient in vege-
table matter. A crust is formed, which

he did he would do very little good,
possibly harm. Flowing wet ground
puts it in bad physical condition. 1t
is not worth while to harrow corn or
even to cultivate it when the ground is
in this condition; for it does not kill
the weeds.
Our instruction about narrowing
corn when a boy, which was done
with the old V-shaped harrow, with
the front tooth knocked out, was to
get out as early as possible in the
morning, provided the day was clear,
and whether the day was clear or not
to quit half an hour before sundown,
the reason being that we would do no
good in killing weeds unless the sun
was shining.
The important thing is to Keep up
the cultivation from the time the corn
is planted until it is laid by; and If
after it is laid by, heavy rain comes
and runs the soil together, then lay 1t
by once more. 1t is the crust that
is formed by heavy rain upon newly
cultivated ground that wastes the
moisture and decreases the yield of
corn.
Corn does not need much moisture
until it tassels. It will need a great
deal of 1t then. Up to the time Of
tasseling 1t has formed only one-fifth

Summer Breakfasts.

TO most housewives the first meal
OF the day is the one most difficult to
prepare. Start the day right with
good breakfast, and we are at peace
with the world and ones self, at least
until the next meal.
Many a case of indigestion and bad
temper may be followed back to q
poorly planned and worse cooked
meal. Our food has much to do with
our dispositions. At no season of the
year is fruit more plentiful or more
OF necessity than during the warm
months.
Blackberries, blueberries, plums,
pears and apples are abundant this
season and offer pleasing variety.
For the cereal course have at least
five varieties. 1t will be an easy mat
ter to have different one for every
day In summer.
If a cooked cereal is used It is
worth noting that cereal is either
made or marred by salt. Too much
spoils it, too little makes it fat, and
no amount Of salt added will season
1t as If it were cooked in it. Cream
is another necessity. If you cannot
have cream, give up having the cereal.
No matter how great the heat, hot
breads are always popular Light
puffy rolls are not easy to have un-
less the housewife is willing to rise
at very early hour. Popovers are
choice hot bread and with a little
practise easily made. The oven heat
is the important thing in making pop
overs. Here is good recipe for
them: Take one cupful of flour and
half a teaspoonful of salt. Pour over
this very slowly one cupful of milk,
beating well until smooth, then add
the beaten yolk Of two eggs and last
ly the whites beaten to a stiff broth.
Bake in hot jem pans thirty minutes.
Graham mullins and corn cake are
other well-liked breakfast breads. For
the substantial course there may be
fresh fish or hash Of the meat of the
day before. Croquettes are excellent
and omelets of different kinds are also
good. Veal or chicken finely minced
and well seasoned is delicious served
on a thin slice of buttered toast and
poached egg on top. These are but
few suggestions as to what may be
used for summer breakfasts.

Hot Weather HInts.


All the energies are exercised to en-
dure the heat and the enervating at
mosphere while performing house
hold tasks during the summer. Dress
comfortably and rise early to do the
bulk Of the work that has to be done
each day before the heat of the day.
The simplest style of living COM
formable to health and comfort, should
be the aim.
Bread may be mixed at night and
kneaded the first thing in the morn
ing and then baked before nine o'clock.
Soups and vegetables may be cooked
early, salads and desserts prepared
and with a gasoline, gas or oil stove
the meal may be easily prepared. A
fireless cooker is an invaluable aid to
the busy housekeeper as the dinner
may be started In the cool of the day
and put in the cooker to still cook
without fire or attention.
Avoid entirely cold meals in hot
weather, If the meal is to be cold have
a hot drink Of some kind or with a hot
meal, serve cold drink.
Care and planning will do much to
lessen the fatigue and shorten the
hours of labor There are some
things that must be done, each house
keeper being law unto herself For
some 1t is neither convenient or eco
nomical to buy prepared food, for
those the baking and cooking must
be done in the home.
The flour and lard or butter for
pastry may be prepared in sufficient
quantity to last for several days and
kept in the icebox to be used when
needed. 1t is even better than when
freshly prepared as the cold mixture
makes a fiakier crust.
The washing, ironing and cleaning
may be done early if planned for and
the lighter work be left for the hot
part of the day.
Work is good for us and those who
sit around painting with the heat, do
ing nothing but talk of the weather
and their sufferings are much more
uncomfortable than those who are
busy and have the mind well occu-
pied. This has been proved over and
over again. A busy worker has no
time for worry about the weather or
other things beyond control.

MEET IN CONGRESS AT ROME
international Gathering Of Foes Of Tu-
berculosis to Be Held Late In
September.

Oficial announcement of the Seventh
international Congress on Tuberculo-
sis, which will include representatives
from every civilized country in the
world, has been made by the National
Association for the Study and Preven-
tion of tuberculosis. The congress
will be held in Rome from September
"a to 80, 1911, and will be similar in
many respects to that held in Wash
ington in the fall of 1908. The con-
gress, which meets every three years,
will be under the direct patronage Of
the king and queen of Italy.
An American committee of 100 will
be appointed as the official represen-
tatives of the United States. Mean
while the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
is acting in that capacity and its Office
in New York will be the headquarters
for the United States delegation. The
secretary general of the congress is
Prof. Vittorio Ascoli of Rome.
AS direct result of the stimulus of
the last International congress held in
this country, the American committee
will be able to report that the number
of tuberculosis agencies in this coun-
try have been tripled In the three
years. More than twice as much
money is being spent in the fight
against tuberculosis by private socie-
ties and institutions, and the appropri-
ations Of federal, state, municipal and
county have increased nearly four
fold. 1t is estimated that nearly $751;
100000 will be spent in antl-tuberculo-
sis work in 1910.

enty-three years he was a soldier in
the United States army. He saw serv-
ice in the Seminole war, in the Mex
lean war, in the Civil war and for
years he did duty on the plains
against the Indians. His body lies

Corbin and Brig. Gen. John ]. Cop
pinger, both of whom heard the last
call within the year.
Maj Gen. Alfred E. Bates, last
June, visited West Point during the
commencement exercises. Every
year since his graduation and when
ever his duties permitted General
Bates went back to the academy. He
loved the old place, and on his last
visit he made request that when taps
sounded for him he might be buried
in the cadet cemetery which lies al
most under the shadow of the academ-
ic halls. Within few months of the
time that his request was made taps
sounded, and General Bates Is at rest
in the little cemetery on the Hudson
plateau.
Brig. Gen. Hamilton S. Hawkins,
who died within the year, saw service
in the Civil war as subordinate Off
Ger. In the Spanish war he distin-
guished himself. General Hawkins en-
tered West Point in 1852, but he failed
to graduate. The academy had such
a hold on his affections, however, that
he asked before his death that he
might be buried at the place which
his boyhood experiences had endeared
to him. General Hawkins was a
southerner by birth, and with many
other southern officers who had re-
ceived their military education and
their lessons in loyalty at West Point,
he remained true to the union.
Of all the regular army officers OF
southern birth, who either rose from
the ranks or were appointed from civil
life to commissions, not one remained
true to the flag at the outbreak OF
the Civil war. OF the southern grad
yates at the military academy nearly
one-third remained true to their oaths
of allegiance and to the spirit of love
for united country which the acad.
emy had inculcated.

RAISE DAISIES

In Cold Climates by Planting DAf-
ferent Varieties Some of Them
May Be Kept blooming
All Summer.

In the mild climate of California
and some of the southern states daisies
bloom all the year round. In Califor-
MIA these flowers grow very much
larger than those OF the east, as do all
the Pacific coast flowers.
Luther Burbank has developed the
Shasta daisy to very large and beau

the place of the Marguerite or Paris
daisy, which has long been favorite
with Californians.
In the colder climates OF course it
Is impossible to keep daisies blooming
every month, but by planting different
varieties some Of them may be kept
blooming nearly the entire summer.
The daisy is really not a domesticated
flower as great many low growing

TAPS SOUNDED DURING YEAR
Men Who Fought in Three Wars

promotes evaporation of the water
that may be needed for the corn crop,
and this must be broken up. Deep
cultivation is not necessary to accom-
plish this. Frequently the weeder will
do the business, or the harrow, and
shallow cultivation will always do it.
Sometimes the seed bed has not
been properly prepared, however.
Weeds have not been killed in the
dew Of their youth by the weeder or
harrow or shallow cultivation. These
weeds become deep rooted. After the
weeds have become deep rooted the
weeder will do them no harm, and the
cultivation must be deep enough to
bury the weeds. no matter what hap
pens to the corn roots.
In short, the whole idea in cultiva-
ting corn is, first, to prepare a seed
bed, firm at the bottom, loose at the
top, and then to maintain that condi-
tion, incidentally killing the weeds. 1t
Is perfect folly for a man to allow his
cornfeld to become weedy or cloddy,
If it can possibly be avoided. These
weeds must be kept down and the cul-
tivation must go deep enough to kill
them; but more than that is unneces-
sary, especially after the corn is Is
inches high and the root system Gov
ers the entire space between the rows.
This is about all that can be said upon
the subject.
Farmers do not always have ideal
conditions. The land may need drain
age and they may not be able to get
on to 1t for some days. Then the
weeds get start. Even when the
natural drainage is perfect, there are
times when the ground is so wet that
the farmer cannot get on to it, and Il

Peach Time.


When peaches are ripe, the matter
Of suitable desserts becomes a very
simple one for peaches are of all
fruits most delicious. There are hun
dreds of ways in which the peach may
be served either cooked or in its nat
ural state. A dainty way to bake them
is to pare them thinly and cut of a
small piece of the top through which
the pit may be removed with a spoon
and a nutpick. This leaves the peach
whole. Fill the cavity with sugar aft
er placing in baking dish, cover the
bottom of the dish with water, cover
and bake in slow oven. When
cooked in this way peaches become
transparent. Serve either warm or
cold with whipped cream. Many pre-
fer to bake the peaches with the pit
left in them as they give flavor liked
by many.
For old-fashioned peach tart, make
a crust for deep pie plate and bake.
FIJI the crust with sliced peaches and
sprinkle with powdered sugar, cover
with whipped cream, chill and serve.
A dessert that is both attractive and
appetizing.
Tapioca pudding with peaches
makes a delicious dessert. Serve with
cream and sugar.
A pudding liked especially by the
children is made by pouring batter
over sliced peaches and bake; serve
hot with cream and sugar.
Baked Peaches.
Another way of serving baked
peaches: Peel and cut in halves six
peaches, remove the stones and place
IN shallow pan. FIJI each cavity
with a teaspoonful Of sugar, one-half
teaspoonful of butter, few drops of
lemon Juice, and slight grating of
nutmeg. Bake 20 minutes.
Peach cake is a delicious dessert
and one not common. Bake an angel
food in two layers, use sliced sweet
ened peaches for the filing, and serve
with thick layer Of whipped cream.
