gans, mix one half ounce fluid ex-
tract buchu, one half ounce murax
compound, six ounces good pure gin.
Take one to two teaspoonfuls after

that you need to fear, but the SER

TEDDY'S PLAN.

One day when Teddy's mother
sent him to the store on an err.
rand, she gave him a nice new dol.
lar bill. Teddy had never carried
one before, and he walked proudly
along the street with 1t spread out
In his hand. AS he turned a cor
ner a sudden breeze blew it right
out of his fingers into some
bushes.
1t all happened so quickly he
didn't see where the bill went
and when he looked for it, II
could not be seen.
Now see what bright boy
Teddy was. Instead of crying
about 1t, as some little boys would
have done, he sat down on the
curbstone and thought of this
plan. He would stand in the
same place with small piece OF
paper until the breeze came again
and he would watch where the
paper went and maybe that way
he could find the precious bill.

THEY'RE RAISING THE REAL

AND ARIZONA AND STACK
ING UP $500 TO $500 PER
YEAR 70 THE ACRE.

HEBER, Cal. May 30.-What
do you know about dates, except
that they are good to eat and have
something to do with Arabia?
Do you know they are grown in
California and the Salt River VAL
ley of Arizona?
Eight miles out from Heber is
the largest known date farm out
side of Arabia. There are 26 acres
in 1t; it's dates bring so cents Il
pound in the open market, and the
supply isn't up to the demand.
Date farming here is practically in
proven a success, the Imperial
Valley may one day resemble
Arabia. Getting back to dates:
The trees are either grown
from plants or seeds and at four
years they begin to produce. Only
the female trees bear. In practice
1t has been found necessary to
have from one to five male trees
for every 100 female.
| ]. Il. Brock. graduate of the
Agricultural College of Kansas, is
in charge of the date farm at He
Der. Brock frankly admitted that
he didn't know very much about
the industry, but that there are
few white men in this country who
do.
"But if we are successful here, Z"
said Brock, 1.-The people of this
country will see the greatest in
ldustry in tho world started. The
dates you buy from the stores here
for 10 and Is cents a pound, all
mashed together in a solid mass,
are not the real dates. They are
lust cheap and unhealthy. The
real date Is like this"
He held up a small oblong OBJ
lject, the shape and size of a nut
The outer skin was hard and there
was no sickness. 1t was like
lpicking up a nut. A bite into II
was easy and the taste was as un.
like that of the common grocery
lstore date, as the taste of a HARD
juicy apple is from that of dried
: apples.
"You can see." Brock contin.
lped, that they couldn't sell the
grocery store variety so cheap 4
the date itself was first class, be
cause we get SO cents a pound foI
all we can raise, and the demand
is greater than the supply"
There are only two known sec
lions of the United States wher,
II dates can be raised-the Sal
River Valley, Arizona, and the I'm

BOYS GIRLS, HERE'S PUZZLE;
A HAT?

When the artist drew this pic
ture he forgot to give a hat to
each man, which Is very neces-
sary, as you all know. So it is
up to you boys and girls to do ii
for him. But you must have
only the man and his hat on the
one piece of paper and the four
pieces must be of equal size. That
is to say, cut the square into four
pieces of equal size so that one
man and one hat are on each of
the four. Get out mas scissors
and try it. In tomorrow's Chill
dren's Corner the artist will show
you how he solves the puzzle.

course, be careful about fire, al

amount of varnish In all cracks
where the pests might hide. Clean
the other furniture and pictures
In the room, examining carefully
for indications of bugs. Then
close room, making it as nearly
alright as possible, and burn sui

soon as candles are lighted and
keep out of the room for two
days. Then enter and quickly
throw open the windows to air it..
