Finds Riches in Honey.

Miss Inez Cooley conducts bee
ranch in southern California Los An
geles county is particularly adapted to
bees, for they have pasturage all the
year round. For many months they
feed on the Rocky Mountain range
back of Miss Cooley's ranch. 1t gives
a flavor to the honey almost as deli
cious as that which has made Scotch
heather honey famed around the
world.
Miss Cooley is thoroughly up to date
in her methods. Her bees do not waste
their time eating honey to make comb
at the rate of ten pounds of honey to
one pound Of comb, but store their
honey in sheets of stamped paratIin,
whence it is removed by centrifugal
extractors worked by waterpower.

Twenty-Five years ago Jonas W..
Thomas, negro CT Marlborough coun-
ty, S. c., began his career as farmer
by buying an old horse for $40.75, and
by renting 80 acres of South Carolina
land for 1,4OO pounds of lint cotton.
After four years of hard work and
close saving he was able to buy mule
for $50 and also 81 acres of land.
Then he began renting and working
farms which belonged to other men.
Gradually he was able to buy the land
he had been renting. He also found it
worth his while to open commits

Now Thomas lives in a broom
house and employs on his $4,000
plantation 80 families, consisting OF
1S9 men, women and children. He
grows ass variety of crops, including
cotton, corn and some garden truck,
and raises his own horses, mules,
COWS and hogs. He has received as
much as $4,000 for his cotton crop
alone-4O0 bales of long staple. On
an average he has saved $4,000 a year
for % years. All that he now has on
the farm is his own, directly and in

TEST FOR THE OVEN
HOW ONE MAY BE SURE IT IS
JUST RIGHT.
Employ White Paper to Tell When
Right Temperature Has Been Sc.
cured--Good Recipe for Clean
inQ Black Wooden Clothing.

You can never make success OF
baking unless the oven Is exactly
right. II 1t is little too hot or too
cold all your cakes and pies will be
spoiled. You can always test the heat
by putting piece of white paper on
the oven shelf that is to be used and
leaving 1t there for two minutes. IL
the paper comes out still white or
very slightly brown at the edges, then
the oven Is cool. II the paper comes
out a good deal Drowned. but not
burned at all, then the oven Is mod.
crate. If the paper comes out brown
all over and blackened at the edges,
the oven is hot If the paper burns all
to cinder. then the oven is much too
hot for any use.
The following Is a good recipe for
cleaning black wooden clothing: Dis.
solve boraX In water and saturate a
sponge or cloth in the solution. Wash
the greasy spots by rubbing vigorous
ly. then rinse in clear water the same
way, and dry in the sun. This is es-
pecially good for cleaning mems coat
collars.
Thick, soft gloves are made to wear
when lifting pots and heavy stove at
tachments; thinner ones come for the
purpose of protecting the hands while
sW eeping or busting: then there are
rubber gloves to put on when wash
ing dishes and asbestos gloves to wear
when handling hot dishes.
Should the clothes be widowed, the
stains may be removed by a mixture
containing equal parts of soft soap
and starch, half as much common salt
aud the Juice Of half lemon. This
may be spread over the spots, and the
article should be laid on the grass all
day and all night until the stain en-
tirely disappears.
The crisp, raw cucumber, appetizing
as it is, proves indigestible to many
people. Let these try them cooked.
Cooked cucumbers may be served hot
with cream sauce or cold as salad.
Rather ripe vegetables should be Sc
,ected and they should be stewed very
slowly. Finely shredded chill peppers
added to the sauce improve its ap-
pearance and take away the slight in
sipidty of the cooked cucumber with
out destroying the flavor. When serv-
ing the cooked cucumber as a salad
cut it lengthwise instead of across, as
with the raw vegetable.

The high mortality rate among ne

grave menace to the general health of
the south by speakers at the conven-

Statistics were given to show that
typhoid fever, malaria, measles, scar

tuberculosis, and pneumonia are re-
sponsible for more than 10 per cent.
of all deaths among negroes. These
same diseases also are responsible for
more than 20 per cent. of deaths among
the whites. The high mortality rate
among the whites was pointed out as
directly traceable to the prevalence Of
these diseases among the negroes.
The necessity for raising health
standards especially among the ne

of prevention was urged by the speak

are prevalent among them.
The health of the negro, therefore,
was declared to be the most important
subject before the south today. The
burden OF this problem, it was said,
devolves on public officials, SANTA
