entirely Of farmers, would deal a.
rectly with mills and packers.

more satisfaction than Swiss Cbard.
1t Is good the season through, during

then dress it with butter, vinegar and

served, or it may be served cold as a

new tender leaves. so that it Is an
easy vegetable to care for.
d Lettuce that has become too old
and tough for eating fresh may be
cooked and served as one does spin
ach. 1t makes a pleasant variety for
the daily menu. Lettuce soup is an
other method of using the old tough
leaves. This is made as one does any
cream soup.

is a brighter green if the kettle in

Eleven skeletons of primitive men.

teeth in the front upper jaw, have

about twenty feet below the surface,
twenty feet back from the face of the

which was layer of shale. The rock
was perfectly dry.
The jaw bones, which easily break.
are so large that they will go around
the face of the man of today. The
other bones are also much larger than
those of the ordinary man. The femur
is twenty inches long, indicating,
