NEWS FROM THE CHESTNUT
 


 The chestnut blight has not inter- fered much with the chestnut burr this year, which we are told. opened this year without frost in the chestnut belt.
 The reports from the chestnut belt relate that the burrs with their we'll filled nuts are found indifferently un- der all trees; that pine trees and oak trees seem to have left off bearing cones and acorns in order to get into the band wagon of the chestnut tree. The ground everywhere in the woods and particularly in the mountains is covered with layers of chestnuts that make 1t feasible to gather them with a shovel.
 The Baltimore American says: "The old prognosticators are at sea. They have predicted severe winter to fol- low big chestnut season, and have declared that frost is necessary to the opening of the burr. Last fall was a poor one for chestnuts and the winter broke all records. So that one sign failed-s This year the chestnut burrs opened by the million without frost, and so another sign fails. The spread ing chestnut tree is doing a wide work of educating the people out of popular myths, as well as proving it to be the ktns of the forest, so far as the vote of its patrons can be obtained.'
 Here in New England and in the middle states war is being made upon the fast spreading blight which has killed thousands of valuable trees; and it is gratifying to learn that the government is preparing to expend a quarter of million dollars to destroy an enemy of the trees that is threat ening to wipe out chestnuts altogether.

LOST PATIENCE WITH JOY
 RInERS

Judge James A. Collins of Indianap- oils has declared war on the joy rider, He is also the enemy of the maker of unnecessary noise. In this, the third year of his term as city judge of Indianapolis, he is making record that leads the rest of the United States, in point of justice meted out to offenders
 q believe said Judge Collins, in discussing existing conditions, that the only remedy for the misuse of automobile horns is to make the pen alty for their misuse so severe that there will be few second offenses. The driving of a motor car in Indiana, ex- cept by persons holding license, will, in consequence, become statutory offense Arrangements will be made whereby the law will not work 8 hard ship upon tourists.
 "Furthermore when any holder of a license violates the statute, the clerk of the court of record where convic- : ton is obtained will be required to forward notification of such convic- ton to the secretary of state. Upon receipt of this information the secre- tafy of state shall notify the convict ed license holder to turn in his li- cense. Should he fail to do this, his arrest will follow.
 When I began my term of office. offenders against the automobile speed law had been accustomed, upon con viction, to paying a fine of $1 and costs. I made it $10 and costs, and the newspapers roasted me for not making it more The second year I made it s20 and costs. Beginning the first of last January, I made it $25 and costs. From the first of January, 1912 propose to make the fine $1 a mile and costs. If a man is speeding thirty five miles an hour he will get thirty y-five dollars and costs, and ac- cording to that ratio.
 That is the only way to handle the speed and the automobile warning sig nal problems. If I find the fines do not stop the nuisance so far as the speeding is concerned, Imprisonment will follow. It makes no difference who the offender is. All will get the same treatment from me-"

FOR TIRED FEET.


 After long walk. when the feet feel weary and uncomfortable, try bathing them in warm water with a little eau de cologne added to it. Dry them and rub in some starch or plain violet powder. On a railway journey it is a good idea to take a pair of light slip pers in the travelling bag and to change the outdoor boots when in the train.
 Alcohol is a good medium with which to rub the feet. and bathing them in salt water is good for some feet, and they are always benefited by the starch powder rub afterward.
 Cotton stockings of the finest and softest make are excellent wear for tender feet, and many people like cash mere. Many people believe in soapine the heel of stocking so as to prevent blisters, and shaking starch powder or boracic acid into the stockings before putting them on is another preventive of those crippling worriers.

Woman in Life and in the Kitchen
TO CLEAN WICKER.

After summer use doubtless the Hicker furniture will require good cleaning. Do not scrub it with soar and water; that invaMably turns it yellow and causes unpleasant squeak ing. Try serubbing it with strong salt water. If there are shabby places, give the articles a thorough salt water bath first; scrub well and dry as quickly as possible in the open air and sunshine Should you decide to paint the furni- ture, get we'll mixed paint, rather thin; if the paint is too thick it will always rub off on the clothing. It is well to finish with a coat of enamel to make it last longer. Enamel does not hold dust like ordinary paint, consequently is more easily kept clean.

We Offar No Restraint.

Rev. Dr. Flavel S. Luther, presi- dint of Trinity college in an address at Waterbury, the other evening, sug- gested as the proper treatment for drunkards permanent withdrawal from the scenes of their former ac- tivities.' Commenting along another line, he added: T am wondering if We ought net to treat cases of moral sickness with some of the severity that is required in the treatment of physical disease. ill the case of man with a gan greened foot. the foot has to come off, and in the case of man with con ntagious disease he is shut in and kept shut in until he has fully recovered. Yet what we do with those who are morally sick is to let them out while the germs are still all over them. Sentinel

CARE OF cANARiEs.

In selecting a canary. one of the cross breeds, pure canary with d strain of goldfnch or bullfinch. is the best to choose, as they are much harder than the pure canary and have splendid voices. The best food for canaries is canary and rape seed, one part of rape to three of canary. From April to September they should have a little fresh green food every day. either chickweed. watercress or lettuce A lump of sugar should always be kept between the cage wires within easy reach.

THE TEXAS TO BE A TARGET.
Ship That Had Brunt of Fight at
Santiago is Sentenced to an Igno-
miniOus Fate.

Charleston, Jan. 13.-Orders were
received at the Charleston navy yard
today for the dispatch of the former
battleship Texas, now the stationship
of the Charleston yard, to Norfolk,
where she is to be stripped and there
converted into a target for the gum
ners Of the vessels of the North At
lantic fleet. The place of the Texas
is to be taken by the protected cruiser
Baltimore which is shortly to be sent
here when her crew will be detached
and put on board of the Texas, pro-
ceeding on her last voyage under her
own steam to an ignominious end for
vessel, having her distinguished rec
ord in the service.
The battleship Texas was one OF
the first of the modern battleships of
the American navy. No little senti-
ment attaches to the Texas. She has
fine record for things done in the
navy, and it is known that there is
no little resentment felt among Off
GERS as well as the people at the prop
oSitiOn to convert the Texas into a
target. 1t does not seem to be in line
of economy to destroy such a valua-
bic craft which might be put into
fairly good fighting service in case of
war, especially when there are so
many other vessels which might be
utilized. An earnest protest is to be
made against the removal OF the Tex
as. The ship has been at the Char
lesion yard since September 20, 1909.
Visitors at the yard have found the
Texas an interesting place with the
guns bearing brass plates, telling of
the record and service of the ship.
With the removal of the Texas, an
important feature of the yard. So to
speak, will be removed
