HOW COCA COLA REFRrsHEs.

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale Of Coca-Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed it to good advertis-
ing" others to efficient management"
others, to its delicious favor" and still
others to the fact that 1t was the first in
the field Of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion of q
manufacturing chemist who has analys-
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity Of the drink
in large part to its quality Of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition Of Coca-Cola is practically
identical with that Of coffee and tea
with sugar added the only material
difference being the absence of fannie
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of DR.. Holling-
worth of Columbia University and of
DR.. H. c. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing beverages coffee, tea,
Coca-Cola, etc. relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use Of
the latter is followed by a period of de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
ton, thus resulting in the formation of
q "habit."-Adv.

SO much the better; but If not, never
mind.
1t is, think, a great deal owing to
this habit of mind that the manners
Of the Burmese are usually so good,
children in civilization as they are.
There is among them no rude inquisi-
t~iveness and no desire to in any way
circumscribe your freedom by either
remark or act. Surely of all things
that cause trouble nothing is so COM
mon among us as the interference
with each others ways, as the need
less giving of advice. 1t seems to each
of us that WI are responsible not only
for ourselves, but also for every one
else near US; and so IL we disapprove
Of any act we are always in a hurry
to express our disapproyal and to
try and persuade the actor to our way
Of thinking. We are forever thinking
Of others and trying to improve them;
as a nation we try to coerce weaker
nations and to convert stronger ones,
and as individuals we do the same.
We are SURF that other people cannot
but be better and happier for being
brought into u ways Of thinking, by
force even. IL necessary. We call 1t
philanthropy.

Domestic

With a fear of scarcity of bread
through shortage of -four, one recalls
Cobbett's view Of the woman in the
house who, provided with materials,
still lacked a loaf. "As to the art Of
making bread" he wrote, 1T would be
shocking indeed If that had to be
taught by the means of books. Every
woman, high or low, ought to know
how to make bread; If she do not she
is a mere burden upon the community.
Yet it is but too true that many wom-
en- know nothing Of the making Of
bread . Even servant women
in abundance appear to think that
loaves made by the baker are things
of their pure creation-things, too, in
which no one else can participate.
Now, is not this an enormous evil"
Cobbett's words, however, failed to
touch the kitchen, for the enormous
evil" still exists!

REALLY CLEVER OF JOHNNY
Unfortunate MIR. Smith Had to Join
In the Laugh That Followed dag
nosls of Small Boy.

Reference being made at a banquet
some time since TO the wonderful say
ings of the youngsters, Gov. Ben W.
Hooper Of Tennessee was reminded
of the innocent remark of a little
Nashville boy.
One afternoon, the governor said.
the little boy returned from school
complaining that he had a stomach
ache. His mother explained that the
ache was due to the fact that his
stomach was empty, and that he
would feel better if he had something
in 1t.
Two evenings later a young mar
called to see little Johnny's sweet
sister. Sitting in the parlor, waiting
for the family to retire, the young
man remarked that he had a head
ache.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is attached to
the condition of the grain crops in
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested in lands
in that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year in
the provinces Of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that of last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready of
land this spring made a considerable
portion of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat. oats,
barley and fax were got in in good
shape, although from a week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally in Western
Canada were: abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance of generous harvest. Climatic
conditions in recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal. Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indi-
cation of a bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop Is looking well, although late
and rather short in straw"
This is followed by a report July
5th: Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi-
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada In 1913

What She Wanted,

One day in the spring the orphans
from the asylum were taken in motor
cars out to the park. A society wom-
an, accompanied by her stylish little
daughter, was driving through the
park in a big limousine car. They
stopped and watched the procession
of little orphans, and the mother ex-
planned that the little boys and girls
had no homes and no fathers or moth
ers.
After she had finished she discov.
cred that her little daughter was al
most crying, and her eyes were filled
with tears.
Why, what's the matter, dearest?'
she asked.

ply, q" want to be an orphan. Can

FREEDOM IN BURMA
No One Interferes in the Affairs
of Another.
Remarkable Trait Of Burmese Charae-
ter Is Their Unwllllneness to In
terfere In Other Peoples Busl-
ness-Each Acts for Self.

London.-A remarkable trait Of the
Burmese character is their unwilling
ness to interfere In other peoples
affairs. Whether it arises from their
religion of self-culture or no, l cannot
say, but 1t is in full keeping with 1t.
Every mans acts and thoughts are his
own affair, think the Burmans; each
man is free to go his own way, to
think his own thoughts, to act his own
acts, as long as he does not too much
annoy his neighbors. Each mar is
responsible for himself and for him
self alone, and there is no need for
him to try and be guardian also to his
fellows. And SO the Burman likes to
go his own way, to be a free man
within certain limits; and the freedom
that he demands for himself he will
extend also to his n%eighbors. He has
a very great and wide tolerance to-
ward all his neighbors, not thinking it
necessary to disapprove of his neigh.
boFs' acts because they may not be
the same as his own, never thinking
it necessary to interfere with his
neighbors as long as the laws are
not broken.
Our idea that what habits are diff.
ferent 70 our habits must be wrong,
and being wrong require correction at
our hands, is very far from his
thoughts. He never desires to inter
fere with anyone. Certain as he Is
that his own ideas are best, he is con-
tented with that knowledge, and is not
e~easelessly DESTROYS of proving II
upon other people.
And SO a foreigner may go and live
In a Burman village, may settle down
there and live his own life and follow
his WI customs in perfect freedom;
may dress and eat and drink and pray
and die as he likes. No one will In
t~erfere. No one will try and correct
him; NO one will be forever insisting
to him that he is an outcast, either
from civilization of from religion. The
people will accept him for what he
Is and leave the matter there. If he
likes to change his ways and conform
to Burmese habits and Buddhist forms,

The greatest amount of injury to
corn from insects occurs after blowing
up grass land of long standing, or re-
suits from the continuous culture of
corn upon the same land several years
in succession. Some of these insects
are able to 1--WE on weedy plants. Gen
orally, therefore, the most effective
remedies against insect attacks are
short and systematic rotations, accom-
panied by clean culture of the field
and surrounding fields. Where the
land is neither in grass nor corn for
more than two years in succession the
attacks Of insects are comparatively
limited. The insects of most econom-
ical Importance to the corn growers
are:
% Wireworms.
(2) Cutworms.
~ White grubs.
al Corn root worms.
(5) Corn root louise.
WIREWORMS are the larvae of the
large family of click beetles, or SNAP
bugs" The worms vary in length
from one-half to one and one-quarter
inches, have a hard, smooth, shining
surface, varying in color from yellow
ish to reddish brown. The beetles re-

gust, by beginning in the tip Of the
corn root and working toward the
plant, %devouring the inner portion of
the root as it goes. Since the worms
have no other plants on which they
feed, and since the eggs are usually
laid about the hills of corn, a rotation
furnishes a simple and effective rem
edy for these insects. 1t is destructive
only when corn is cultivated on the
same land several years in succession.
CORN ROOT LOUSE.-Ants pro-
tect and care for the plant lice in re-
turn for their secretions, which the

Even In the Child Mind.

This incident was related by Mark
Twain with great glee about a certain
little girl friend who "shone as an
authoress." One day she handed her
devoted sympathizzer the sheets of a
story which read thus:
"A man was seated in a chair by
the freside brooding over his trou-
bles. He was sad because his wife
was dead. Suddenly a specter ap-
peared before him, and it was his
wife. She said: Dear, l could not
bear to see you SO sad and discon-
tented, SOL have come to comfort
you. You must not be sad. You
must be bright and happy. 1t was
best that l should leave you when l
did, because l was going I o get a al.

period in the summer, from about the
middle Of July to the middle of Sep
TENDER, when the pasture is liable to
be short.
Corn Is in many ways the best crop
for summer soiling. The main diff
Guilty is it does not come on early
enough. Even the early Varieties are
hardly mature enough to feed before
August /. Something is often needed
earlier. Sweet corn is good feed, but
does not yield heavily. Second-growth
clover, millet or alfalfa can be used If
available. After August l in the corn
belt corn and sorghum are the best
crops for supplementing pastures.
Green crops fed as a supplement to
pasture may be fed in the pasture or
in the barn lot, but as a rule are fed
most economically in the barn. The
COWS remain inside long enough at
milking time to eat their portions.

main in the soil over winter and
emerge in the spring. Eggs are then
laid in the soil in the grass land,
where they soon hatch, the larvae re-
curing at least two years to fully ma
ture. The worms are very destructive
by attacking the seed in the ground
before it is sprouted, and by also eat
ing and boring into the roots and
stems Of the young growing plants.
The injury is likely to be greater the
second year after sod is broken up.
C~UTWORMS.-There are different
species of cutworms, but their injury
and treatment are substantially the
same. The moths, of which the cut
worms are the larvae, lay their eggs
upon the leaves of grasses in the
meadows and pastures and the larvae

CutWorm

worms feed upon the growing vegeta-
ton. The fully grown cutworm is one
and a quarter to two inches long and
varies in color with the species from
dull brown to gray or green, and is
~variously marked with longitudinal or
oblique stripes and dashes and dots.
When grass lands, especially of long
standing, are plowed up and planted
to corn, the cutworms, being deprived
of other vegetation, attack the young
corn plants when only a few inches
high, cutting them off just above the
ground. The larvae pupate during
late spring and summer, thus permit
ting late-planted corn to escape their
attacks in some cases. Late fall plow-
ing is quite effective by disturbing
and exposing the worms and by de-
stroying the food on which they would
feed during spring. They may also be
poisoned by the following mixture:
Wheat bran .............. 40 pounds
Molasses ...................2 quarts

This is mixed with enough water to
moisten. A tablespoon of this mix
ture placed near each hill will attract
the cutworms and prove fatal.
WHITE GRUBS are the larvae Of
May beetles or June bugs. The beetles
lay their eggs mostly during June, in
the soil, commonly in grass lands, but
not ~infrequently in corn land also. The
eggs hatch in 10 to is days and the
grubs are supposed to live for two full

How Students Got Fresh Eggs.

An Indianapolis travelling man wit
messed a novel feast by students of De
Paw university at Greencastle the
other day. He said he was at a station
in that city, and standing neal was a
poultry car loaded with live poultry.
The hens were cackling and carrying
on" at a great rate. A crowd of stu
dents stood around the car, and when
ever a hen produced a nice, new, fresh
egg a student reached his arm through
the side of the car, seized the egg and
made for a nearby store, where he
fried it over a gas jet.
There were at least twenty stu
dents around the car" said the travel.
ing man, "and the hens kept them
busy all the time l was there. l don't
know how many eggs the students got
but it was a busy bunch of hens. Just
before my train pulled out I heard one
student say to another: Gee, I never
ate 80 many eggs in my life!' There
was no question about the freshness
Of the eggs"
