In dealing with IL. Arrangements

part OF last winter TO secure the serv.
ices OF George J. Kneeland. who had
directed the Chicago Vice Commission
investigation. Since that time, Mr..
Kneeland, with a corps Of assistants.
has been making q thorough and com
prehensiye survey OF the conditions OF
vice In New York City. This survey
has covered not only houses OF prosti'
tuition, Raines Law hotels, disorderly
saloons, cafes and restaurants, mas
sage parlors and other places where
vicious people congregate, but also
the personal histories OF some two
thousand prostitutes; and a study OF
all the case records for one year OF "a
great majority OF the hospitals and
dispensaries in New York City, with
a view 10 ascertaining the prevalence
OF venereal diseases and their ratio 10
all other diseases. Mr.. Kneeland's re-
port is now in progress OF preparation
and will be published within the next
two months
At the same time, the Bureau was
fortunate in securing the services OF
Abraham Flexner, whose reports on
the medical schools in this country
and in Europe are so we'll known, to
study the social evil and the various
methods of dealing with II in the lead
In nf Mr
spent the greater part OF a year
abroad, making a searching and ex.
haustive inquiry into the subject, and
is now working on his report, which
will be ready for publication this
winter
These studies are to be followed hy
others, in those cities in the Unite.
States where different conditions ex-
list or where special methods of deal
ing with the social evil have been In
troduced, the object being to become
familiar with all phases of the subject
and all methods OF handling IT which
have been tried in this country and in
Europe
In conclusion, II cannot be too
strongly emphasized that the spirit
which dominates the work of the Bu-
reau is not sensational or sentimental
or hysterical; that it is not a spirit of
criticism of public officials; but that it
is essentially a spirit of constructive
suggestion and of deep scientific as
we'll as humane interest in a great |
world problem.

is, of course, possible to allow the
fruit-bearing wood on what was at
first low-headed tree to be several
feet from the original head, but with
proper pruning from the start this
trouble can be easily overcome.
An apple tree that is headed high
is, in some respects, for practical lur-
poses, anything but high; for ex-
ample, the chances are that such a
tree will have the lower branches, at
least, growing at almost right angles
to the trunk, or in other words, in
horizontal position. When such tree
is bearing heavy load Of fruit, these
limbs will bend down, and are very
likely to break unless props are used.
The use of props in an orchard is at
best sign of very poor orchard man
agement in the past and should be
avoided. 1t is possible to train the
high-headed tree SO that the branches
will have more Of an upward growth,
but it is recognized fact that work
done several feet from the ground is
never as satisfactory as when done
from a short ladder, or while stand
ing on the ground.
In a low-headed, well-trained and
pruned tree we have all the essentials
for a profitable one, other things be-
ing right. We have tree that is
easily managed in regard to pruning,
spraying, thinning and packing. Good
labor for doing these things is always
at a premium, and it goes without
saying that the amount OF time it
takes for such an orchard is less than
for a high-headed one. In the second
place it is a well-known fact that low
headed trees are far less subject to
sun scald than high-headed ones.

burg-American line, which was lying
at the docks. The young men were
told that the ship was bound for Bos-
ton. They accompanied the agent to
an Office.
They say that they met a Swede on
the way and he consented to go along.
The three were asked to sign ship
ping Daners, but the Swede refused to
sign until ae had read them. This
angered the agent, who is alleged to
have drawn revolver and knocked
the Swede unconscious.
The young men say that they were
given about SO worth of clothing and
put aboard the ship. Then they
learned that they were bound for Ham
burg instead Of Boston, but were
forced to work. When the steamer

eral Skinner at Hamburg and

sent them back to this country to
make their complaint to the immigra-

HICKORY is VALUABLE WOOD
However, Dead Trees and Slabs Az
ford SheItering Place for Broods
of Destructive Beetles.

Burn your dead hickory trees ana
slabs. Dead hickory serves as a win
ter home for broods of beetles which
attack the living trees in the spring.
Hickory is distinctly native wood
of the United States. No foreign
country grows it in any large guam
tity. 1t is one of the most valuable
woods in this country.
Besides being used extensively by
manufacturers, it is used more than
all other woods combined for smok-
ing meats. Hickory gives greater
amount of smoke, gives the meat a
pleasant flavor, an even color, burns
slowly, and smokes the meat with a
smaller amount of shrinkage.
Hickory is used for more purposes
than any other wood Every farmer
should burn all dead trees on his
farm and so help to conserve the sup
ply of hickory.

VALUE OF W-HEADED TREES

& During these days when some ad

by some of our best orchardists. One
of these is against the low heading of
fruit trees, says the Farmers Review.
BY high-headed tree we mean one
whose branches come out of the main
trunk four or five feet above the
ground, or, as the writer heard one
man say, high enough so that you
can get horse close to the tree in

PARSLEYS MANY USES
NO MORE WELCOME GREEN
THING COMES INTO KITCHEN.
unexcelIed as carnlshIne for Various
Dlshes-lts Volatile OIL Gives
Strong Essence That Makes
II Popular

The green, curling parsley fronds in
the garden are picked for a dozen pur-
poses daily for the kitchen. When the
green things come In from the garden,
nothing is better welcomed than tho
bunch Of fresh greenery for garnish-
Ing culled from the parsley bed
Cold fish and cold meat. ham espe-
cially appear unfinished on their
dishes without the vivid dash Of love
~ green that parsley bestows. When
the green is set between vivid sections
OF scarlet tomato. the color scheme Of
any cold dish is enhanced.
Many cooks also set the bright yell
low OF egg-yolk and the pure white
ness of its envelope Of albumen here
and there between the green and
scarlet, then. they know the artistic
sense will be fully satisfied. This is
because that brilliant green is really a
compound Of blue and yellow lights
withdrawn from the sunlight
These two primary colors need the
red to complete the harmony of the
trinity of hues. The gold of the egg
yolk Is also primary; the purity of
the egg-white, rejecting all hues. aids
the three primaries to shine forth in
all their brilliance. Truly, parsley, to-
mato and egg can form a vivid color
symphony on any dish.
The rich aroma of the parsley is due
to Its plentiful volatile oil, strong as
any essence, that permeates the curl
ing fronds. 1t is this oil that gives
the distinctive flavor to all parsley
sauces and all things cooked with
herb.
Parsley, rock plant originally,
with the rock name still attached to
1t, had the old idea Of the ancient
cure transferred to It. It is one of the
Peter plants. having been dedicated
to st. Peter. on account of its liking
for rocks and because OF It's stony
name. To remove a rock or, by anal
ogy. rock plant, would be like re-
moving the foundation from that
place. Hence the idea of Ill luck to
the transplanter of parsley.

USE OF THE GRIDIRON
CHILLING A MOST APPETIziNe
METHOD OF COOKING.
Process That Is Most Quickly Per
formed Provided There Is a Clear,
Bright Fire-Preserves juices
Of Meat to BE Served.

Grilling is one of the crudest and
the most primitive OF all forms OF
cooking; 1t is, indeed. sometimes de.
scribed as the savage mode OF cook
Ing, when slices of raw meat are
strung on sticks and held over or close
to fire.
"Broillng" is the most ancient word
for grilling; though both words are
still used, they really signify the
same thing. Broiling Is derived from
the French word "bruler," to burn.
Although one of the simplest forms
of cookery, it is seldom well carried
out. The process is similar to that of
roasting, with the difference that
only small pieces or slices of meat
are used.
Broiling or grilling is always done
before, or over, clear, bright fire.
II Is a process which is always
quickly performed. BY broiling meats
evaporation is prevented by the sud
den closing of the fbers, so that the
outside of the meat is quickly hard
ened and the surface Drowned.
A chop steak, outlet or fillet, prop
erly broiled, should have a thin, nicely
Drowned crust, the inside of which
must be cooked to suit the require
ments and taste of the person for
whom it is prepared, viz, rare, raw
and Juicy, medium or well cooked
A gridiron, cleaned and we'll
creased, is the proper utensil for
broiling, though some cooks use the
frying pan more often than the grid
iron; special care must be exercised
to keep the fat from falling into the
fire, as the sudden blaze is likely to
inpart a smoky and Objectionable
flavor to the meat
A clear, bright fire is essential to
perfection in grilling. On no &C
count must the meat be pierced
with fork or skewer, or the juices
will run out of the holes made and
much of the flavor will thereby be
lost An average sized chop or steak
will require 10 to IL minutes to broil
or grill, during which time it should
be turned at least five times.
