Plain Words on q Solemn Subject.
In an article by Anne Bryan Mccall
in the Woman's Home Companion,
entitled "What . Girl Expects of a
Man." appears the following:
"And this brings me to speak Of
that thing which we discuss, II at all.
with too little frankness: The streng-
tn of purity in man. For whatever
other strength man may have. this
would seem to bethe highest type of
strength. and It is the supreme streng-
tn that the normal woman longs for.
Yet this Is the very thing of which
absurdly shy of mentioning; so much
so that many a girl does not even
know whether the man she consents
to mary has this higher type of streng-
tn.
"You may argue backward and for
ward about q mans stronger tempta-
tons: you may argue that the average
girl Is not capable of judging of what
these temptations are, and so Is not
qualified to Judge of aman's weakness
when he fails; but the old demand for
strength 10 still there. and cannot be
put aside by this or any other argu-
ment. It is still strength that the
girl expects, and strength that the
finest type of girl demands.
| again, you see, we come back tc
the same point. There is at bottom
ne other way to true woman's favor
than by strength. This is not my
preference, nor yours, nor q mere
opinion: 1t is q great fundamental Law
Of nature. one of the underpinnings o.

at his ranch and having great time.
He tells a pretty big story about
Ralph how he got lost and had to
sleep out all night with a rock for a
bed and cover, how he went without
food for twenty-four hours. and how
at last he stayed off starvation by run
ming down a jack rabbit and killed 1t

The Picnic Lunch Basket.

Fannie Merritt Farmer, cookery ed
itor of the Womans Home Companion
writes about "The Picnic Lunch
Basket" in the August number of that
periodical She gives sixteen recipes
for good things to prepare for picnics,
four of which follow:
Stuffed Eggs-Cut four hard boiled
eggs in halves crosswise. remove
yolks, and mash; then add two table,
spoonfuls of grated cheese. one tea
spoonful of vingar. one-half teaspoon
full of salt. one-fourth teaspoonful of
mustard. and a few grains of cayenne.
Add melted butter until mixture is of
the right consistency to spread. Make
in balls the size of original yolks. and
may be used instead of cheese; melted
butter instead of vinegar.
Fruit Punch-Mix one cupful of
lemon-juice. one cupful of orange
juice, add one cupful of fresh pine
apple-juice. Add two cupfuls of fine
granulated sugar, cover, and let stand
until sugar has dissolved. Dilute with
water to suit taste.
Chicken Mayonnaise Sandwiches
Chop cold boiled fowl. and moisten
with mayonnaise dressing. Spread
mixture between thin slices of butter
ed bread, remove crusts. and cut in
halves diagonally. thus making tri-
angles. Wrap in parafine paper.
Saratoga Chips-Slice thin, into a
bowl of cold water, medium sized
potatoes. Let stand one and one-half
hours. changing water twice. Drain,
plunge into boiling water. and let boil
one minute. Again drain. and plunge
into cold water. Dry between towels.
Fry in hot fat until Drowned. keep
ing motion with a skinner. Re
move to dripping-pan lined with brown
paper; sprinkle with salt"

Unwelcone Luxuries.

What is more delicious than the
odors OF flower extracts and rare per-
fnmes? Yet there are abominated by
the men at the docks and elsewhere
who work in an atmosphere that is
impregnated with them. Delightful
though they are to the stranger, they
produce headache and nausea in those
who breathe them hour after hour.
To some gardeners the odors of
certain flowers are no less detstable.
That from variety of violets, indeed,
is positively harmful. and there have
been many cases. it is known. Of Hines.
due to this and other flowers of the
same species.
Onion peelers equally dislike the
pungent odor of the dubious roots
they handle, not, however, because
it affects their health but because it
clings to them as the limpct to the
rock. In one district where many
women are employed in peeling pickl-
ing onions this tenacity is curiously
manifested. If some of the women 60
to concert or other entertainment,
the odor of onion soon becomes we'll
nigh overpowering, Notwithstanding
that the peelers discard their working
clothes hours previously.
Fish fryers are troubled in much the
same way. Some of those who live
away from their shops make the best
of things by never introducing their
working clothes into their residences.
They have an clubhouse, in which they
change before going to, and on coming
from, business. But at the best the
odor of fried fish is troublesome, while
in some circumstances it is a positive
nuisance. Everything smells of it, and
unless special precautions are taken
milk, butter. and the like taste of it.
Sailors dislike many odors which
are not objectional to ordinary folk.
Their chief abomination. perhaps, is
a cargo of coffee, which makes a ship
hateful. The odor becomes burden
and gives the flavor of coffee to nearly
everything on board. Even the very
water tastes of coffee.

Don't Talk Hard Luck.

The following advice to agriculturists
is given in the current issue of Farm
and Fireside, a well-known agricul-
tural paper published at Springfield,
Ohio.
plan to do thingss this year. Don't
be content to raise just Is bushels OF
corn to the acre because that is the
United States record for the past ten
years. Don't stop at Is bushels, the
average farm value. of which for the
past ten years has been but $9.35
Why, look at fifteen-year-old Jerry
H. Moore, the champion corn-grower,
who produced 228 bushels and 3 pecks
ION one acre, which netted him $1,000.
Don't be content to grow but IS
bushels of spuds to the acre because
that is the ten year average of the
country, with a farm value per acre
Of $42.l2. Why. bless your old soul,
Mr.. Sturgis of Wyoming grew ga
bushels and 48 pounds Of spuds on
one acre, which netted> $7l4.O0 after
paying expenses. Some difference.
Ell? Well, / guess. R. A. Chisholm
and R. c. Nisbet of Colorado produced
S47 IL bushels on one acre. One of
the ranchers in my county, here in
Colorado, produced GA bushels last
year. Don't stop at the average yield.
Do you know that the countries of
Europe beat us all to pieces in the
average yields per acre? And they
have land that has been cultivated for
ages in comparison with ours. Trouble
is, we spread ourselves out over too
much land. Try TODD too much.
While we average II and Is bushels
of wheat to the acre, Germany has
70, France II, the United Kingdom 80,
and SO on. Why, Germany grows on
an average as many spuds to an acre
as we do on three Our dutch cousins
pick up 200 bushels to the acre right
along. And so it is in everything.
The slow foreigners know how to
farm better than we do. We are too
slow to catch cold, too slow even
to keep the immigrants from gobbinl
up our best land and growing ricl
while we highly civilized Yankee:
howl about WORKOUT soil and hustle
off to the city to become dependant,
mere parasites on the body socio-
logical and economical, and help boost
the cost of living by our very inability
to meet Mother Nature halfway and
give her square deal. Don't let the
cold winds howl about an empty barn
next fall after scraping around over
the meadow to get a half-ton of hay
to the acre. Why, Mrs. Harris of
Michigan grew 20 tons and 800 pounds
of silage-corn on one acre last year.
No use to talk hard luck. Get out and
plow up some scrimpy meadow. Do
your part. Have you always done it,"

the world we live in and the civiliza-
ton we enjoy; strength manifested
IN a hundred ways, manifested as
health, bravery, courage daring, cour-
tesy, kindness, gentleness; manifested
in original and brave thought; in
honor; above all, in bodily purity and
moral and spiritual force.
1T is all this that the normal girl
dreams of and longs for, desires and
expects; and according as she finds
it or fails to find it is her happiness
made or marred."

Thomas A. Edison's Prediction About

The Value of Dogs on Farms.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside is an article entitled "The
Dog That is Useful On the Farm" in
which the author tells how to train
dogs for farm work. An extract from
the article follows:
"In England and Scotland farmers
learned long ago the value of dogs to
teamwork. There teh universal Gus
tom is to have dogs daily do thier
part the same as trusty hired man
Here in America, however, fe. farm
ers know the value of wei trained
dog. We are thelosers because OF
this fact. We will learn, of course. in
years to come; and working dogs that
are daily help will replace the count
less farm-help insists now imposing
on the farmers generosity. If farmers
realized the service good stock-dog
could do them, the more eager would
they be to change and own one.
ut once happened that worked
my sheep-dogs back and forth among
hocks of sheep at the same place
where many farmers were assembled
in convention. The farmers witnessed
the work the dogs were doing as l
moved my sheep from barns to pas
ture, through pens gates and lanes.
They were amazed to find them so
helpful and wondered at their intelli-
gence. They saw them go quietly
around the edges of a pasture and
gather in the sheep from far away,
while waited at the gate. They saw
them herd the sheep along the lanes.
doing work two men could not have
done. And they profted by what
they saw.
"They began. to believe as I have
long believed: that the useful dog will
eventually be on most American farms,
when we get to studying more care
fully for ways and means to save work
and expense. 1t may be that on some
large estates many different men are
employed, thereby leaving little op-
portunity for anyone to train a dog.
But on the average farm this is not
the case.
"Any farmer tired from a hard days
toll would praise the faithful dog that
would go the mile or two into the
pasture to bring in the cows while he
prepared the feed for them. Anyone
would value highly the dog that could
intelligently help to drive in the stub
born hogs or straying cattle.
81 do not refer to the dog we find
on many farms that knows only
enough to run and snap at stock,
driving them in whatever direction
they care to go. Such a dog is of
little value, for he drives the stock
away as often as he brings them back
to the pen they have left. Such dog
might have developed into good one
1t was the fault of the master that he
was never trained. Let no man for
get how important it is to have his
dog we'll trained and carefully edit
Gated to do his bidding The green,
unframed dog like the unbroken
colt or the new hired man. Neither
is good as real helper until taught
to do as you wish him to do"

Mark Your Hens at This Time oi
Year

Now is the time to take note of the
hens that have been especially sue
cessful in brooding and rearing chick
ems. Mark them so you will know
them and keep them over for another
season, even if they are not much of
a success as egg-producers. Next
spring, when you want some reliable
'clucks,' you will know which ones to
trust with eggs.-Farm and Fireside.

Doctor Johannsen of Copenhagen
has made it possible for lillies-of-the-

ten days. This has been accomplish

of which he makes the plants sleep

rest seemingly makes them anxious

rapidly.-Farm and Fireside.
