The Mignonette Tree

Few mignonette lovers appear to real ize that a plant of this so fragrant flower may be preserved from year to year until 1t becomes a little tree.
 You take strong plant from seeds sown in the month of April put 1t in a pot all alone. and whenever and wherever 1t attempts to show blossom nip 1t off without remorse.
 At the end of September or the begin ming of October cut off all the bottom shoots to make 1t look like tree move fl into a larger pot, and put 1t in the green house. Water it regularly and keep 1t moderately warm.
 Treat it in this same way the following year, cutting off all the lower shoots and blossoms. and you will have a mignon- ette tree that will last and bloom for years.

 Women who do not care for freaks of this kind are wearing roses fashioned of shot tafetas. which do not pretend to initiate nature. but make pleasing touches of color either on the hat on the gown.
 The shot taffetas roses are welcomed as a change from the flowers of self coiored satin. blooms which. however. are still seen and find great favor with many wearers.

Pulls Out Splinters With
 Magnet

Dr. Haab of Zurich, Switzerland. has invented an electro-magnet for the special purpose of removing iron splinters from wounds. He uses it constantly in his work as s.n orulist. finding 1t more effica- cious than any of his older instruments, for it needs not to depend upon the oper- ator's sight to find the splinter. but draws it out even when it is too small to be seen. All that is necessary is to prop open the eyelids. approach the magnet to the eye, turn on the current-and the splinter Is out. The same Is true of iron splinters in any part of the body, though. of course in every case care must be taken to prevent the splinter from tearing the flesh as 1t comes forth

part OF last week. 81 wish that all OF

the apple business is the most attrae-

During the past two months | have
been through Illinois, Michigan, ONO,
western New York and Indiana. In
every large center one VIII ma tne
apple market clogged with fruit, while
out IN the smaller places no apples are
to be found at all. The fancy grocer
les in the small towns all carry bananas
and oranges. These they display at
tractively, but the apples they ofter
for sal le are poorly exhibited IN Ola
dirty hampers, and who wonders that
their customers do not buy them. In
the towns of Aurora and Austin, man
ufacturing suburbs of Chicago, where
thousands of workmen receive good
pay, these conditions exist. These
skilled laborers are all good spenders
and they would buy literally OF apples
If they pleased their eyes, and once
they got the habit Of eating them, the
demand for apples would be increased
just so much. u
Mr.. Greisen is bubbling over with
many ways to increase the consump-
tlon of apples. He thinks there is too
much profit made between the time
the apple leaves the grower till the
time of its ultimate consumption. The
grower gets $3.50 a box for his fruit.
The consumer pays $3.50: this is too
great difference.
I'VE could stand a little advertising
for our fruit, too, he says.
GO to New York City and start
down Broadway. You will be told
scores of times by the big signs within
a period of very few minutes, what
kind of whiskey to drink or breakfast
food to eat. Why not herald in big
electric letters: 'Health's best way,
eat apples every day. Try Hood
River Spitzenburg. You would be
surprised. | think at the great selling
effect such a campaign would carry.
The apple crop of this year is only
5000, 900 boxes larger than that of last
year. 1t is the idea of congestion cre-
ated by the commission man who wants
to make as much as he can out of the
crop that makes the trouble.
1--WE need to give the apple little
more judicious publicity. Tell the hus-
band to buy his wife, the beau his
sweetheart, the son his mother, all a
box of apples for Christmas, instead
of some silly gewgaw. The recent
article of Better Fruit, telling of 2l9
ways to prepare an apple deserves
wide distribution. We need to put
statesmen in the selling field. Every
school child ought to carry an apple to
school in his pocket"
