The sun is a wonderful bleaching

Canned Tomatoes.-Wash and drop
into sterilized jars; do not peel the to-
matoes. Add a tablespoonful of salt
to every quart jar, and fill to the top
with boiling water, seal and set into
boiling water to cover. Wrap well
with old carpet to make it hold the
heat like a fireless cooker, and leave
twelve to twenty hours. Then put into
the cellar. These tomatoes will have
brilliant color, keep their shape and
be fresh for use for almost any dish
in the winter. Delicious for salads, as
they are not cooked until mushy. See
that the water in which they stand is
boiling hot and covers them to a depth

A<~~
OF INTEREST TO GARDENERS.

Superintendent c. C. Heron, of the
Hamilton County Experimental Farm,
at Mt. Healthy, has plans for arousing
interest in the work he is carrying on
among the thousands of backyard"
gardeners in and about Cincinnati. He
has found that these gardeners culti-
vate their few square yards of ground
not so much for the vegetables they
raise as for the exercise and enjoy
ment they get cut OF the work.
They will engage in gardening in a
far different spirit hereafter if he can
prevail on the authorities at the State
Experimental Farm at Wooster to give
him sufficient leeway to make num-
ber of experiments in the raising of
lettuce, radishes, beans, beet and cab
bages in limited area. His purpose
will be to raise enough vegetables to
supply their own tables the year round.
Once they succeed in doing this there
will not be such a demand for vege-
tables in the local market, and conse-
Quently prices will drop and the cost
of living in and about Cincinnati will
be reduced considerably.

Philip Hale, one OF Boston's latter

water as a more sensible drink for hot
weather than ''iee-cold" blends Of wa
ters, sirups, acids gulped at the mar

his favorite tipple is as follows:
For three pints Of water you viii
require a teacupful and a half Of well
washed pearl barley, four Jumps OF
sugar and the thin rind and juice OF
one lemon. Pour boiling water over
1t, cover with a saucer and let 1t stand

A buttermilk fan adds:
Then set the jug in a cool place

(By H. ERIcHsEN.)

The roses enumerated are such as
/ have grown on my own grounds
and know to be satisfactory in every
respect. Before take up the indi-
vidual roses, it might be well to make
a concise reference to the two grand
divisions Of Queen Rosa's kingdom
and point out the difference between
the Tea and Monthly Roses and Hy-
brid Perpetuals.
The former make constant growth
and new flower buds all through the
summer and are therefore very prop
erly termed ever-blooming. But the
appellation Of the latter is a misnomer,
for they do not bloom perpetually, as
the name would indicate, producing
only one crop Of flowers in June. with
an occasional blossom in autumn.
Unfortunately, the tea-roses are not
entirely hardy in our northern climate
and, if planted at all. require winter
protection. The Hybrid Perpetuals, on
the other hand, are perfectly hardy
and vigorous, and distinguished by
tine foliage and magnificent flowers,
both as regards size of bloom and
color, which explains why they con-
tinue to be the most popular roses.
There is, for instance, our old Hy-
brid Perpetual friend General Jacque-
minot, familiarly known as Jack" +"
which still holds first place among
the dark red roses and is simply a
mass of bloom when at its best.
Paul Neyron, by far the largest rose
in cultivation, and one of the most
prolific boomers, is of a deep, clear
pink color and very desirable as a
garden rose. 1t is an exceptionally
strong grower, often making straight
shoots four to five feet high in one
season, each shoot bearing an i'm
mense flower. No collection of roses
would be complete without it.
Most rosarians If called upon to des.
ignate the finest f1esh-colored Hybrid
Perpetual would unhesitatingly name
Clio. The flowers are simply perfec.
tion in form, and in color they are q
delicate satin blush with light shad
ing of rosy pink at the center. AS the
plant makes a vigorous growth, pos
sesses handsome foliage and is a fine
bloomer, it is one of the best roses
for the urban or suburban garden and
should not be omitted from any col
lection.
Baroness Rothschild is another rose
Of value for the open ground. OWNS
to the toughness of its large, heavy
foliage, it is especially free from mil
dew and insect attacks. 1t is perfect
ly hardy and blooms twice and some
times thrice in a season.

TO HOLD CLASSES AT NIGHT.

A bulletin of information on the
University of Cincinnati has just been
issued by President Dabney, in which
he refers to the institution as "a mu-
nicipal university, devoted to the ad-
vancement of liberal and technical
learning and to the service of the peo-
pie OF Cincinnati" Referring to the
night university, the bulletin says:
I'm response to a growing demand
on the part of the graduates of the
Night High Schools and of others who
recognize the benefits to be, derived
from systematic study, even after one
has entered upon his ife's work, the
university in 1912 decided to hold some
of its regular liberal arts classes in
the evening. The courses to be given
include variety of subjects represent

of the College of Liberal Arts"

WHEN COMPANY COMES.

When company comes we like to
serve them with Just the best the
Souse can afford. and happy is the
housekeeper who recognizes her limi-
tations and knows her resources from
pocket book to energy and strength.
The house wife who has loads of sill
yer, cut glass and fine linen, delights
to give elaborate feasts, and they are
all right for those who can afford
them; but where there is one with
wealth at her disposal there are thou
sands who enjoy entertaining, If it
must be, simply.
When our women learn to do with
what they have, or can have, without
a burden of debt, happy that they have
friends and can enjoy them, enter
tanning as becomes their circum-
stances. not aping after those who
have large means at their disposal, we
will have less nervous. discontented
women and fewer business failures
and discouraged men.
Our amusements and pleasures
should be adapted to our position and
circumstances. The tired business
man who must struggle into dress
suit and start out at nine or ten
o'clock at night for a party, sees very
little enjoyment in anticipation; but
If he could drop in to a simple supper
or dinner, go home at reasonable
hour, he would be rested and ready
for work the next day.
The truly great are they who live
simple, sane and comfortable lives, en-.

None of these can be relied upon,
and the best recommendation offered,
is to examine each tree twice year,
in May and September, and dig cut
the borers with a pocketknife. A

A GOOD AMENDMENT.

Cincinnatians ought to vote for No.
27 among the amendments to the Ohio
constitution that will be voted upon
at the special election of September g..
This amendment provides, among
other things, that the people of any
school district in Ohio may decide by
referendum vote how their local
school board shall be organized and
of how many members it shall be COM
posed.
Here in Cincinnati we have had a
long drawn out fight between the sup
porters of the large and the small
school board ideas. This fight is still
unsettled. The large board has con-
troll, but the small board advocates
have not by any means surrendered.
| The contest has resulted in personal
bitterness and at times has acted as
serious handicap to the proper de-
velopment of Cincinnati's school sys-
| tenn.
The best way to settle such strug-
gle is to give the people a chance to
say what they really want. The large
school board men say they can carry
the city ON the question of a large
versus a small school board. The
small school board men make a simi
lar claim.
Amendment No. q will give both
sides chance to discover just what
public sentiment really is. Every
friend of Cincinnati's schools, no mat.
ter where he has stood in the large,
small board fight, ought to vote for
No. 27 on September 8.
