The announcement Of the death OF

and acquaintances we're aware Of his
serious condition, they were not fully

That the agitation against the

DR.. Sophie Heinzescott, woman
specialist. The main objection to
the clinging mode is that there is a
tendency to make clothing too tight
for comfort and health. But the pres-
ent style does away with a lot or
superfluous weight that is injurious
to health, gives freedom of action
and, believe. emphasizes the beauty
of the female form without carrying
the idea too far. The agitation against
the present styles is bosh' =.

1t is pointed out that while no por-

great conflagration during the year
1911, the loss by fire in the United
States during that time was s217 ,0oo,-

about S5,500,O00 to this loss. AS this

PRODUCTION OF SUGAR BETS
DOES NOT NEAR MEET DEMAND
United
Proxress Of IN Past Few Years,
Kept Pace With Increased Rate
Of Consumption.

18 per cent could be reached, we
would have an average yield of 1900
pounds Of sugar per acre.
Clay loans are very satisfactory for
sugar-beet production, provided other
depends upon the physical condition
Of the soil and upon methods Of Gull
tfvation than upon the particular kind
or variety of soil used. The soil, how
ever, should be well supplied with
humus and we'll drained.
During the past few years there
has been a remarkable advance in the
price of farm lands, especially in
those localities where beet-sugar fao-
tories are in successful operation.
The production of single-germ beet
seed is a method of thinning beets be-
fore the seed is planted. Commercial
beetseed consists for the most part Of
from two to seven individual seeds
welded by nature into one mass.
1t is evident that plants produced
from such q mass of seeds must Of
necessity be very close together. and
thus far no mechanism has been de-
vised whereby the plants can be prop
erly thinned. Thus hand labor has
to be resorted to.
Repeated efforts have been made to
break up the seed balls by passing
them through various forms Of rollers.
but the seed coats are SO hard that
any device that has been tried not
only breaks the coats but likewise the
seed balls, thus destroying the germ.
The department of agriculture has
been more successful in this line by
Its effort to produce a single-germ
seed. and its scientists have within
the past year increased the produce
ton of single-germ seed from 2 to rs
per cent.

has increased pounds during the

EXCELLENT FOR ALL FISH.

Cook fish by NJ. Soyer's paper bag
method for several reasons. The first
but not the best of them is to save
smells. Experience has shown that
the smell. though not absolutely pre-
vented is SO minimized as to be in
offensive.
The second reason is, the saving Of
time and trouble. There is absolute
ly no danger of scorching-all the
watching necessary is look in to see
when the bag is brown enough to
have the heat lessened. 1t takes from
three to ten minutes-depending
something on the weather. something
on the fuel-especially !: 1t is gas
and something on the CRATES or Jets
in which the burning goes forward.
When the bas-corners turn a dead
leaf brown and the upper surface Is
family yellow. slack the heat-either
by turning out flame. pushing in dam
pers, or setting the oven door a1ar.
1t is this lowered heat that prevents
the possibility of scorching-a pre-
vention which anybody who has ever
cooked will appreciate.
The last and greatest reason for
the bag is the lettering of the fish
itself. A paper bag will, not make
stale fish fresh. nor that which is
coarse and savorless tasty. But given
good fish. it will cook it the queens
taste. turning it out tender. flaky.

the seasoning or saucing driven
