or sucking insects also open the way
for the entrance of parasitic diseases.
Leaf-spot of tomatoes is an outdoor
trouble. 1t may be successfully pre-
vented by about three thorough spray
ings with Bordeaux mixture.
Currant leaf-spot causes immature
dropping of the foliage; in some cases
the leaves drop even before the fruit
has ripened.
Bordeaux mixture is effective
against this disease, though late appli-
cations may render it necessary to
wash the fruit. For this reason spray
ing should be done very early.
The progress made in plant disease
prevention throughout the world dur
ing the period of about 26 years which
has elapsed since the discovery Of
Bordeaux mixture In France shows
how we'll adapted that discovery was
to the needs Of the times.
The progress made in recent years
in the study and control of plant dis
eases has been made possible by the
agencies recently developed in the
United States in the agricultural col
leges, the agricultural experiment sta
tions and the United States depart
ment of agriculture. 1t is not expect
ed that this advance in our knowledge
of the diseases of plants or Of the
methods of disease control will soon
Wane.

Ten-Year.old Julia Gets Into Bad

strangers; for thereby some have en-
tertained angels unawares."
The. foregoing quotation is from
chapter xiii, verse 2, Book of Hebrews,
and 1t is introduced solely because 1t
constitutes a vital part of this story.
Julia Is ten years old and she goes to
Sunday school. 1t appears that on a
recent occasion the Sunday school
teacher had considerable to say about
this matter Of entertaining angels
unawares." Anyway, 1t made a deep
impression with Julia.
A few days after the lesson Julia s
mother left her in charge Of the house
for a few hours. When the mother re-
turned she went to a particular cup
one-half dollar. In this cup is kept
the family pin money, and Julia S
mother knew that she had put SO
cents there before she had gone out
But the half dollar was gone. There
was an expression of anxiety on
Julia's face and mother scented mis-
chief.
Did you take that money!" asked
the mother, somewhat severely.
Julia broke into tears. II gave 1t tc

mother. What for?"

THE VIRTUES OF MENU MAKING,

In the arrangement of the dinner
menu, we would without much thought
upon the matter, consider the arrange
ment of the course more a matter Of
custom than Of good reasons founded
upon the physiology Of digestion.
The canape appeals to the sense of
smell, which is of such importance in
the digestive operation. Caviar, an
chovy or any combination used for the
canape appeals especially to the sense
Of smell, which stimulates a flow of
saliva, the taste of oyster, clam, lob
ster, is also stimulating to the flow
of saliva
The next course in an ordinaryjdin-
ner is soup, and here we find al rea-
son for it's being. The broth, which
contains meat extractives, is one of
the most powerful stimulants to the
flow of gastric juices. The entree,
which follows the soup. is merely neg
atively valuable, saving time which
allows the gastric juices to be Sc
creted in sufficient quantities to act
on the heavier foods which follow.
The dessert, which follows, is usu-
ally of very different food stuff than
that which has preceded it.
The old idea that foods were
churned and mixed in the stomach
and then expelled is quite correct.
Scientists tell us that only the food
which lies next to the mucuous lining
of the stomach is acted upon by the
gastric juice, and that the first food
taken into the stomach takes that po-
sition and remains there until ex-
PEELED into the small intestlnes. Each
addition of food takes its position, 80
that the last eaten lies in the center,
where it is not reached at all by the
stomach juices. If it is pastry, the
time is occupied by the action upon II
by the saliva, which digests starch, so
that it is fully prepared to be ex-
PEELED when the time arrives. If the
center food could be reached at once
by the gastric juices its digestion
would at once be arrested, as the gas
trio juice, being acid, destroys the al
kaline of the saliva. The whole proc
ess of digestion is 80 wonderful and
our menus are so we'll arranged to
follows its laws, that menu making as
we follow 1t is really science OF
right living.

SanQ for Sultan.

co, while staying at Vichy, in France,

girls, sisters, timidly approached the
sultan and asked him to sign post.

dition that they would each sing a
song to him. Two of the girls at
once complied, and the delighted Mu.

which, translated, mean: Like Ma

HELPFUL HINTS.

When hemming children's dresses
on the machine, use fine cotton-No,
100 is good. When the hens or tucks
are to be ripped to lengthen the skirt
the fine thread will be easy to rip. A
quick jerk will pull it out.
Soda, unless we'll sifted, will al
ways be in streaks in food. Dissolve
it in a little water before mixing.
Stir a little soda into cream that
has changed bit and it will not be
noticed when used in coffee.
Pantry shelves, where there are no
doors, can be kept free from dust by
putting up an inexpensive window
shade, which can be pulled down
when the shelves are not in use, and
fastened with a hook at the bottom.
When a few lemons are found to be
hard and dry, do not throw them
away, but cover them with boiling
water and let them stand an hour or
two, when they will be found almost
Rs good as fresh ones.
To Fry LiVer-Parboil the liver in a
little sweet milk, roll in crumbs and
fry in butter or bacon fat. The par
boiling greatly improves the flavor.
Stale cake crisped in the oven
makes a nice addition sprinkled over
puddings, custards and whipped cream
desserts. Flavor them with a few
drops of rose.
If little rice, hominy or farina is
left from a meal, mix 1t with an egg.
little milk, flour and baking pow
der and bake in gems or griddle
cakes.
Very useful dress hangers may be
made from barrel hoop. Cut the
hoop in three pieces, wind with wkite
cloth and fasten a loop to hang 1t by
in the middle.
Dust cloths are made Of a yard of
hemmed cheese cloth dipped in kero-
sene and allowed to dry. They are
nearly as good as the prepared cloths.
When ironing shirt waist, try
turning the sleeves wrong side out
and ironing the waist first, then fin
ish by ironing the sleeves. The waist
lcan be ironed about the shoulders SO
much easier this way.
Cut the rind from ham and bacon
with a pair OF shears. 1t will waste
much less than trying to do 1t with a
knife.

In sections of the country where
potato growing is carried on exten-
sively, most Of the farmers have po-
tato houses or cellars constructed for
storing their stock and holding the
unsold portion of the crop through
even the coldest weather until they
can market it.
In some localities the crop is stored
in pits in the field until it can be
marketed, but has to be shipped or
taken to some permanent storage be-
fore winter sets in. These pits are
made by merely digging off the sur
face soil to the depth of foot or
little more, then piling in the potatoes

to perhaps three feet above the sur.
face of the ground. After that they
are covered with layer of straw. and
then with the loose soil that was dug
off at first.
The common type of store house on
the farm is cellar walled up with
concrete or stonework, about eight or
nine feet deep, with low wooden
roof above it, giving considerable
space for the storage of tools, barrels,
ETC., on the floor above the cellar por-
ton. These cellars are usually built
on the side of hill, so that the pota-
toes are unloaded down through the
floor in the fall and taken out at
lower doorway during the winter.

The term disease" as applied to
plants means any change in that plant
toward reduced vigor from the ordi-
nary or average behavior. When a
plant shows any deviation from the
regular behavior Of that plant in re-
spect TO appearance, growth, color of
bark, foliage, fruitfulness, time Of
dropping leaves or length of life, in
short, when the plant fails to conform
to those averages which have been
established by extended observation
for the species and variety in ques-
ton, the plant is said to be diseased"
The more usual symptoms Of dis
ease are marked by evident differ
ences in the plant. The leaves be-
come spotted, curled or discolored, or
may even drop unevenly or be marked
by decayed spots, or the branches
may blight, wilt or die, In all such
cases we have a manifest loss of vigor
and profit.
While most of these troubles or dis
eases are caused by parasitic insects
or parasitic fungi, some are caused by
a variety Of other agencies.
The manner of disease attack is ex-
tremely varied and the conditions set
up as result of disease are accord
ingly Of many different kinds. We
learn to recognize disease by the
symptoms shown in the plant; these
symptoms will at times be readily in
terpreted and on other occasions they
will prove misleading. Nothing is
palmer than the necessity for continu-
GUS observation of growing plants if
one is to be in a position to interpret
the symptoms of disease.
When the leaves of a plant are at
tackled these show the direct effects;
the symptoms of parasitic leaf dis
eases are usually localized injury re-
sulting in spotting and often in brown
ing of the leaf parts.
Leaf-spot symptoms are everywhere
abundant and are really of very d.
verse origin. In any example in which
the leaf tissues are locally invaded by
a parasitic fungus We may expect evil
dent effects.S In the downy mildew
troubles there may be wet-rot symp-
toms when the weather Is moist, as in
the case Of late blight attacking po.
tato or tomato leaves; after the leaves
have become badly diseased they may
appear to die very suddenly because

HOUSEKEEPING HINTS.

A delicious way of preparing egg for
an invalid is to beat the white until
stiff, then turn in the yolk and beat
all together. 1t is simpler than beat
ing them separately, and the bulk is
the same. Add flavoring, milk. salt
and sugar before serving.
When frosting cakes, butter a
piece of MANILA paper and pin round
the cake, then pour in the frosting
and have it as thick as you like, it
will not run off. The paper collar can
be removed when the frosting is cold.
When emptying feathers from one
pillow to another, sew the two open
ings together, and the feathers can
then be shaken from one to the other
without losing any.
Worn out cuffs Of shirts or shirt
waists make good holders. as they are
small and easy to handle. The button
holes are used to hang them within
easy reach.
A large-handled dipper set into q
pan makes a good double boiler and Is

wound to make them tight enough,

better than when wound with cloth.

OblioIno,

A young man who had never testi-
fed before was called before the court
as a witness in a certain case. He
was somewhat Mustered over the at
tention that was being paid him, and
mumbled his words SO that the young
woman stenographer could not hear
them distinctly. He was told to speak
plainly and to turn toward the stenog-
rapher.
Speak to the stenographer," said
the prosecutor.
At that the young man arose and
with a deep bow to the lady said,
