Intelligence of Bees.

In France, BONNER has communi-
Gated to the Academy of Sciences the
results Of experiments which, he
thinks, demonstrates that bees pos
sess sort of collective intelligence.
One OF the experiments consisted In
placing lump of hard sugar within
reach of some bees, and near It a
basin OF water. The bees, finding that
their mandibles were incapable of
breaking the sugar, organized a kind
of bucket brigade to carry water from
the basin to the sugar. Having re-
duceG 1t to a syrupy state, they had
no further difficulty IT was noticed.
In all of the BONNER experiments,
that single bees gave no such indica-
tions of intelligence. Their minds
seemed to wake up only when they
were acting in company

A small convenient house that may
be built for $4,000 Is just what good
many young people are looking for.
The perspe tive and floor plans here
shown 60 70 make up just such
house.
You can't have everything In little
house the same as in large house.
but you can leave out good many
things thai are not necessary; and
that gives an opportunity to retain
the important features. A big living
room for instance Is one OF the great
luxuries OF modern houses.
Not so many years. ago everybody
seemed to have a craze for double
parlors. An architect was obliged to
design do jble parlors il he had to cut
them dow to ten feet square each.
1t is a curious comment on human
nature ti..t such a foolish fad would
have to !un itself completely out be-
fore people were ready to abandon 1t
for som sthing better. But small
houses ara no longer built with double
parlors and the owners of old ones
are having the partition taken out
whereve' it is possible, and they are
in that way making the two rooms
into one good. big comfortable, airy
sensible living room.
We are learning something all the
time. We have learned better than to
cut the front part of house up into
small poms Another thing we have
learned is to put in windows enough
to light the rooms and 10 put them
opposite or on different sides of the
room wherever possible and another
thing we are relearning is the use of
IN opsn fire. Good houses are all built
nowadays with CRATE or fireplace Of
some kind in the front part of the
house where it may be used when
wanted.

SAELOW FACES
Often Caused by Tea and Coffee
Drinking.

How many persons realize that tea
and coffee SO disturb digestion that
they produce a muddy, yellow com.
plexion?
A ten days trial Of Postum has
proven a means, in thousands Of cases,
OF clearing up bad complexion.
A Washn. young lady tells her ex-
perience:
"All Of us-father, mother, sister and
brother-had used tea and coffee for
many years until finally we all had
stomach troubles, more or less.
3 I'VE all were sallow and troubled
with pimples, bad breath, disagreeable
taste in the mouth, and all OF us simply

fee caused the trouble until one day
we ran out of coffee and went to Dor
row some from neighbor. She gave
us some Postum and told us to try
that.
Although we started to make It,
we all felt sure that we would be sick
If we missed our strong coffee, but we
tried Postum and were surprised to
find it delicious.
I'VE read the statements on the pkg,

interfered with the production of
this staple.
Corn is damaged by these caterpil
lars in two ways. First, In the early
part of the season while the plants
are small, they work in the throat"
of the young corn, and if the tender
growing tip and the protecting leaves
are once damaged all chances that the
plant will become a normal produc-
tive specimen are gone. In many
sections this is commonly known as
"bud-worm" injury, and though there
are several other insects which cause
similar mutilation Of the leaf, a
very large proportion OF the so-called
"bud-worm" damage may be charged
to this insect.
The other form of serious damage
chargeable to this pest occurs later
in this season. The larvae having
then left the leaves and descended to
the lower part of the stalk tunnel in
the pith. If the larvae are at all
numerous in the stalk their burrows
so weaken the plant that any unusual
strain will lay 1t low and destroy all
chance of its maturing. While fire.
quently ten or more larvae may live
and mature in one plant, it must be
remembered that any infestation,
however light, will lessen in some de
gree the vitality of the plant and
cause a corresponding loss in the
quality and quantity OF the harvest.
