Destructive Man.

An English scientist, Sir Ray Ian.
wester, says that civilized man Is the
most active instrument of destruction
that has ever appeared on earth; that
he has burned up forests, produced
deserts, polluted rivers He says that
the most repulsive of the destructive
results Of human expansion is the
poisoning of rivers and the conse-
quent extinction of fish and nearly ev,
cry other living thing that is in them.
He predicts sterility to meadows and
hillsides drenched with nauseating
chemical manures from factories. The
New York Medical Record speaks in
like fashion and says that these words
of the British scientist should awake
an echo on this side of the Atlantic,
for in no country of the world have
the beauties OF nature been so wan
tonly defaced as here, and in no land
have the rivers and lakes been so pol.
luted to satisfy the greed of the indi-
vidual. Added to this is the disaster
that will certainly come to the masses
for such fragrant disregard of the
health of the people

OATS RECOGNIZED
AS ANIMAL FOOD
Plant, Like Wheat, Seems First
to Have Been DomestiCated in
Europe or Asia Minor.

The oat plant, like wheat, seeDs
first to have been domestiCated IL
Europe or Asia Minor. The Greeks
knew 1t and evidence is not lacking
that it was plentiful in the south OF
Italy during the time of Roman EN-.
pire 1t has been found in the Swiss
lake dwellings of the Bronze Age. It
seems that the Hebrews and Egyp-
tians did not cultivate the oat plant
but that its ancient domestication was
largely confined to the country north
of Italy and Greece.
This plant has not been found in
wild state and indications point to its
origin from a single prehistoric form,
a native of eastern temperate Europe
and of Tartary.
Oats have always been recognized
as a feed for domesticated animals,
and in times of scarcity as good food
for man. While the crop Is still
largely grown for horse feed, its use
as human food has largely increased
in recent years.

NEW CURE FOR SWELL-HEAD
Let the Fowls Co by Themselves
Separating From Others, II 1t
Can Be Done Conveniently.

CBy MRS. f. NJ sTETsON. California;
There Is a practice among poultry
people to catch a fowl with swell
head and squeeze the white matter
out, thinking that this will relieve the
bird Of It's corruption and cause It to
get well
This is entirely wrong A sac or
covering surrounds this white matter,
keeping II from going any further
than the one organ When this sac
Is broken, as Il must necessarily be
by the breaking Of It's outside covering
in order 10 eject II from the eye. the
contagion is allowed to go down the
nose and spread to the whole head.
The bird is then a hopeless case, for
there Is no remedy now but the ak.
The matter which will be found in the
blood Of the fowl Is also OF very
contagious nature and contact with
other organs will cause them to take
on similar conditions Of corruption aud
decay
II the bird is kept in a warm place
and Is fed on highly stimulating and
nutritious food the blood will finally
right itself, but It cannot do so II
largely re-infected, or vaccinated with
the virus of the disease throughout
the entire head
The proper way to do is not to
touch the head, just letting the fowls
go by themselves; this is better than
the squeezing treatment, but separate
them If convenient from the other
chickens and keep warm and feed all
they will eat.
II the eye is not pecked by the other
chickens, as in fighting over food, or
the sac is not broken, there is no
special danger of the other birds catch
ing the disease, even If they are allow
ed to run together.
We spent several dollars for roup
medicine, worked necessarily, causing
ourselves and the poor chickens un.
told misery by trying the squeezing
out method, and always lost the cases.
Now we let them run and, save for a
blind eye, we seldom ever have one
/ die.

The Fall Webworm is the most
conspicuous orchard insect In August
and September These insects hatch
about midsummer and begin feed.
Tag on the green surface OF the leaves.
AS they move about they spin a fllmy
silken web under which they always
remain AS they grow they extend
the web. carrying II over all the
leaves they attack. so that the whole
branch will be webbed up by a single
colony before the caterplllars mature.
There Is generally, however, some
one part Of the branch where the in.
sects retire between meals and dur
Ing periods of Noting. Here the
web becomes thicker and when in au-
tumn the leaves fall taking with
them most Of the gauzy web this shell.
ter tent generally remains on the
leafess branches
The webworm shelter is very differ
ent from that made by the common
Tent Caterpillar in spring. There are
probably various reasons for this. In
the first place the webworms are
born during the hottest season OF the
year so they do not need to huddle
together In a narrow room TO keep
warm as the Tent Caterpillars do in
early spring. In the second place
It seems probable that caterpillar
that eats only the green surface Of
the leaves as webworms do must take
longer time getting It's meals than
does a caterpillar that devours the
whole leaf, so the period Of exposure
to natural enemies during eating
would be greater In the case of the
webworm. And In the third place,
the webworms are developing at a
period when parasites and predaceous
Insects are most abundant. The over
head web must save the lives Of
many webworms that otherwise would
be destroyed by their enemies.
But If the web protects the worms
from these insect foes it makes them
easy to see by the orchardist, so that
the only excuse for leaving the pests
to defoliate the tree is dire neglect.

C0LORED FOOTWEAR IN VOGUE
Black and White Combinations Still
Popular, Though Not in the
Latest Style.

Great attention is paid to footwear
by well dressed women at present.
The most dressy styles are the sandal
effects with and without buttons. High
button boots have sandal strap open
ings, and low shoes In sandal strap
style are in the button form.
Low-cut slippers are laced in sandal
fashion with ribbons or leather straps
across the instep, and fasten around
the angles. Sometimes the strapping
Is simulated by an oRenwork design.
This gives to the slipper a more per
manent shape and outline than If the
straps were fastened at will when the
shoe is worn.
Lace shoes in English style have the
vamp of the shoe in black leather,
V tn a tan or biege cloth top, which
is trimmed with strips of brown leath-
er. These strips cover the instep and
the back seams Of the CATERS. II
a shoe is made in a brown leather
with a brown cloth top these little
strips or bands are in black to afford
a contrast.
Black and white combinations in
footwear continue to be popular, in
spite of the fact that colors are the
newest feature in costumes. Black
patent feathers with white undressed
leather tops, both in high button and
in low button shoes, are much worn.
A very smart model has a gaiter inset
of white silk rubber over which the
instep piece Of white leather fastens
with impression snap buttons.

ARTISTIC EFFECT IN FLOWERS
Each Woman Must Study for Herself
How Best to Achieve the De-
sired Results.

Roses are best for evening wear.
Even if they are buds do not wear
three or four of them, as that would
spoil the artistic effect. Select one
bull-blown crimson rose, or a delicate
yellow one If you are dark haired, and
tuck it into the coil of your hair, allow
ing 1t to nestle close to the ear. A
pink rose will look we'll in the golden
hair Of the blonde girl. Some blondes
may wear yellow rose with good
effect.
The smart way to wear flowers on
the tailored suit it is to attach them to
the left lapel of the tailored coat. Vio-
lets look best worn near the waist line
just little to the left side, and tied
with soft, narrow, shaded violet satin
ribbon.
The girl who is just now wearing
quaint fischus and has fancy for
parting her hair in the middle and
dressing in a picturesque style may
wear old-time garden flowers with ar
tistic effect. They should be made
into small bouquets and fastened to
the chiffon scarf or the dainty null
fschu, or a bunch of loose flowers
may be worn at the corsage. Yellow
daisies gracefully arranged, make an
attractive corsage bouquet.
A pretty custom is to wear one
flower which becomes associated
with your personality Not every
girl can afford expensive jewelry, but
she can always have flowers.

busy laying their eggs. II you
see a beetle looking like the drawing
herewith, with nearly cylindrical body
and long feelers, kill It, for 1t is
capable Of much mischief. To pre-
vent egg-laying, clear away all weedy
growth from around the base Of apple
trees so as leave the bark freely ex.
posed to sunshine.
Other boring insects are also busy
now laying eggs for grubs that will
work havoc with fruit trees. The
peach tree borer moth is one of the
worst of these. This is a small day
flying moth that lays its eggs about
the base of the trees. The eggs soon
hatch into grubs that bore into root
and bark and often kill the tree It
is a good plan to wrap paper around
the base of the trunks and then cover
the paper with tanglefoot This has
a tendency to prevent the moths from
laying eggs. Another way is to place
lot of refuse tobacco stems around
the base of the tree. Still another Is
to mound up the tree with loose soil
to a height of six or eight inches, so
If any eggs are laid the grubs will
be easier to dig out.
All of these methods are to be sup.
plemented In fall by careful examina-
ton and digging out Of any borers
found.

Hessonite might be a new disease
or a new fad. but it's simply a new
shade and it's named for the Grand
Duke of Hesse. The shade, which Is
neither distinctly rose nor amethyst,
but a blending of the two, is found
chiefly in the semi-preclous stones of
translucent composition and brilliant
luster such as are used for necklaces,
chains and lorgnette holders, as we'll
as for hatpin tops and toilet pins of
a minor character Hessonite, con-
sidered as a color, somewhat partakes
of the futurists' idea of shade blend
ing, for the rose and the amethyst
tones so melt into each other that it
is impossible to say which one has the
stronger characteristic.
