Cold. Heat and Drowsiness.

Why do we feel drowSy when CON-
ing out Of the cold into very warm
room: The effect OF cold upon the
body is to contract the surface blood
vessels. drive the blood to the internal
organs and slow and weaken the circu-
lation. If this is prolonged the less
ened circulation to the brain will pro-
duce lethar%y which may end In
death. To prevent this we Instructive
~ clap our hands. run or perform some
other active exercise to stimulate the
circulation. When going into a very
warn. room from the cold the surface
capillaries are diluted and there Is Il
rush Of blood to the brain which pro
duces mUmentary congestion. We
have here three causes for the drowsi-
nesS-nlore or less fatigue from the ac-
tivity in the cold. the enervnting effect

FARMING WITH DYNAMITE.

Where the surface soil is under
laid with layer of compact subsoil
or hardpan that is impervious to wa
ter and impenetrable to the roots
of growing crops, the rain runs off
quickly and the land suffers severe
ly in times of drouth,
Blowing up with dynamite this
compact slJbsoil to form underground
reservoirs has been tried with good
results. Bore holes in the ground
two to six feet deep and from 20 to
80 feet apart according to the nature
and compactness of the slubsoil and
hardpan. About 80 sticks of dyna-
mite are used per acre, which cost
S1.50 with caps and fuse.
An ordinary two-inch auger with a
long handle is used and a haf-pound
stick of blasting powder is placed in
each hole. The explosion breaks the
ground all around for distance of
10 to Is feet, makes an opening at
the surface to 10 inches in diameter
and forms Subreservoir below the
bottom of the hole from three to six
feet in diameter, with the hardpan
shivered into fragments. The open
ings and holes so created should be
partially filled with sand or gravel to
keep them opened permanently for
the surplus rainfall. The work can
be done in leisure time in dry wealth

The modern method of tree planting
is to blow a hole for each tree with

THE CHARM OF THE DESERT.

Those who miss a part of every

with The mountains as background
the picture is one of ever changing
beauty and fascination.
One glimpse OF the open country
at this TIME Of the year whets the
desire for daily outing. If you
doubt this, take an afternoon or part

FRUIT FOR HEALTH.

I'm all ages the eating of fruit has
been recognized as an aid to health.
Some of the more advanced dietic-
ianS advocate the use of fruit and
nuts exclusively. The more reason
able plan, however, seems to be to
eat ''plenty of fruit" and that is
the way Dr.Harvey w. Wiley, the
famed pure food expert puts it. He
believes that everyone should eat
fruit-say oranges or apples, and they
cost about the same-every day. The
nation seems to be following this ad-
:: &C. ''It will save doctors bills, ;"
says DR.. Wiley, and who should
hnow better than he? But that is
a fundamental fact which everyone
should know from experience. 1t is
pretty safe to say that the more fruit
people eat the better The health of
the nation will be.

CHARITY.

Charity is a form of benevOlence
which unites man in one common
brotherhood and softens the sting OF
poverty with soft coal and channel ice
There are several kinds of charity
One kind begins at home and leaves
off In about the same locality, while
others cross the ocean and deposit
money in Korea that ought to be
matched against the laundry bill.
Some deeds are pure food products,
which they place on the doorstep of
an ailing brother and then vanish
with such rapidity that their legs
twinkle in the cleaning like the fare
well salute of pinwheel. Then
there is the kind which dispenses
charity with the aid of a cornet band
and megaphOne, thereby making it
easy for the left hand to know
Is usually UP to the elbows i'm coupon
bonds and so per cent dividends, this
Kind of charity seldom makes a hit
with the recording angel Charity
also consists in refusing to believe
the worst about your neighbor when
the best doesn't hang any medals on
him. One of the finest forms of
charity is the kind which begins to
talk about preparing the front hall
when somebody is about to be sub
jected to a microscopic examination
and declared guilty before the evi-
dence is all in Charity doesn't pass
any premature judgment or condemn
a man for showing courtesy to a wo-
man whom it is perfectly safe to
gossip about because she hasn't any
twO-fisted realtives in the immediate
vicinity The man who is devoid of
charity is about as useful to society
as a one-armed carpenter at a barn
raising. The charity which endow3
hospitals and builds Libraries is all
right, but the kind which stands by

WATER IN FOOD.
l.. Ram.

While the drinking of water is full
ly recognized as a prime requisite for
sustaining life, the general public
does not realize that great quantities
of water which exist in food, or the
high prices paid for it in making pur-
chases in grocery store or meat mar
ket. Take, for instance, the butcher
bill which is usually a considerable
item of household expenditure. 1t is
a trifle disconcerting to be told that
when the thrifty housewife expends
from 20 to 2S cents per pound for the
best cuts of beef, about 60 per cent
of the sum is paid for water. Yet
such is the case, about 60 per cent of
the bulk of uncooked beef or mutton
being waiter. The flesh of pigeons
is about 70 per cent water; that of
fowls and ducks, IS per cent, while
a really fat goose may have as little
as 38 per cent of water in it's comp
osition. The flesh of fish varies con-
siderably in the quantity of water con
tanned, the figures ranging, according
to the kinds of fish, from 40 to 80
per cent. The saltwater fish gener-
ally seen upon a fish dealers slab
approximate the higher rate.
