from the experience of growers, elm
mate the disease.
1t appears reasonably certain that
the disease is not generally spread by
the seed. 1t may. however, occasion
ally be introduced with seed from an
infected locality. 1t is also certain
that the smut is spread with plows,
weeders, harrows, rakes and hoes, by
spores clinging with infected earth to
the implements.
When soil is known to be affected
one pound of 40 per cent. formalde-
hyde to 25-33 gallons of water should
be applied with a drip attachment on
a seed drill at the rate of 500 to 700
gallons Of solution per acre. This

eral large growers. In one instance
the treated part of field yielded over
500 bushels per acre, while the un-
treated plot yielded only about 100
bushels of inferior onions to the acre.

the year of blessings.
After this meeting" the families re-
turn home, where a wonderful feast
is spread.
The first Thanksgiving feast lasted
three days. We of the present usually
spend three hours about the "groan-
ing board" filed with all the delicacies
the season affords. Try to make this
dinner as interesting as possible. Any
original feature introduced is always
well received.
Colonial costumes may be worn or
the dinner served in an old-fashioned
manner.
Pewter dishes or rare old china
should be used for this event, if for
no other. The table decorations may
be of flowers, fruit or anything which
is appropriate.
Brass or colonial glass candlesticks
should be used without shades.
For souvenirs of the dinner make
pretty place cards. The hostess will
find this a comparatively easy matter
If she follows these suggestions.

The Deadly PeriIs of Being Married in June

to the awful torments OF neuralgia.
And IL you escape all these noral periIs
there still remains the danger of contract
ing from the blossoms pityriasis rosea--a
disease which manifests itself in the most
painful burning and itching all over the
body
Even the old shoes which bangle from
the bridal couples carriage or clatter on
their carriage roof hold a special danger
in the shape of the germs which produce
the dread seven-year itch.
Included in this damaging attack upon
early Summer marriages. there is an
analysis of the great number of suicides
among those who we're married in the
month Of roses. A tabulated list of pois
ons. and other methods used by husbands
and wives bent upon self-destruction is
given with suggestions as to their proven
ton.
Finally there is a possible explanation
offered why imbeciles, epileptics, alcohol
les paretics, and others mentally unfit
have a tendency to turn their thoughts of
love to marriage in June. II would seem
according to this analysis that certain
bodily functions in this class Of incapables
are in allegiance to some extent during the
Winter months. As soon as the Spring
thaws occur. these persons begin to 20
outdoors, and as a consequence their tbs
sues become more active and aggressive,
and they are stirred TO initiate the brute
world Of birds and beasts, and seek their
mates.
While healthy individuals subordinate
this mating instinct TO convenience OF
time and money. those whose mental &C
tiyity approaches more nearly the lower
animals cannot resist the same appeal
that makes q bird build its nest or a bear
lis cave in the early Summer. Therefore
June marriages are almost certain 70 have

These French scientists declare that

that the husbands and wives we're mar

for him to leave his desk. Can't the lady
arrange 10 step inside for a minute?
Before the nervous footman has time to
explain that the lady is cripple and can
not leave her carriage, the cashier has
taken another look at the card, has recog-
nized the name and realizes that 1t is the
widow of a millionaire who is waiting out
side for an audience with him.
"Oh. I beg your pardon" he says ner-
vously; "the light is so poor here that
could hardly see that name. Tell the lady
that | will be out directly"
As the footman walks out to report to
his mistress that her wishes are going to
be fulfilled, the cashier hurriedly changes
the linen jacket he wears at his desk for
a solemn frock coat, gives his scanty hair
a quick part and calls to the boOkkeeper
to look out for things while he is gone.
All this time I am sitting primly there
in the carriage lying as hard as ! know
how to live up to the dignity of a million
aires widow and TO conceal my fears that
something is going to happen to disarrange
our carefully laid plans.
But the next instant, ! am relieved to
see the cashier coming toward me all bows
and smiles. And as he comes out of the
bank he almost brushes elbows with Tom
Bigelow who, with punctuality worthy of
a better cause, is going into the bank at
that very moment
Yes, indeed, the cashier remembers my
husband and he is proud of the OppOr-
tunity to be of some service to his widow.

as he thinks of the profits his bank will
make if he can get the handling of my
property
Our interview is, of course, a tedious
affair for ! am very feeble and have all
sorts of difficulty in finding the mining

But the cashier shows not the slightest
impotence and humors my whims with all
the consideration my wealth and position
deserve.
And when he sees what a worthless lot

me becomes all the greater.
Out of the corner of my eye ] can just
see Tom Bigelow as he stands talking with
the bookkeeper inside the bank. And by
this time, if no unforeseen difficulty has
arisen, | know that Johnny Meaney is In
the vault making a quick but judicious
selection of the cash and securities which
we can most easily dispose of.
After what seemed an eternity, but was
in reality only four or five minutes, ] saw
Bigeow come out of the bank and stroll
Ieisurely up the street. This was the sig
nal that the money had been secured and
that Meaney was making his escape in
the opposite direction.
Now everything depended on my hold
ing the cashier just as much longer as l
could. Every minute he remained there
talking with me meant that much delay
in the discovery of the banks loss and
the starting of the police on our trail
Another five minutes dragged along be-
fore ! had exhausted the supply of ques-
lions which | wanted answered. Then /

next day, and told my coachman to drive
on. The cashier whom | had duped so

| went to the house of a friend where
| exchanged my disguise for my ordinary
clothes Then | boarded a train for Mon
treal and there a few days later Bigelow
and Meaney divided with me booty
amounting to $4,000.
It was nothing unusual for the clever
bands of bank sneaks" with which |

that in as short order. But, as l have told

borrowed livery and act as my driver and

At last everything was arranged and
the day was set for the robbery. The
morning dawned warm and bright-just

invalid widow feel like venturing out to
transact a little business

then at my rooms TO go over our plans for
the last time Bigelow was to engage the
attention of the bookkeeper who would
be left alone in the bank after the cashiers

made his way through the side door and
got the money.
At a few minutes past twelve my car

pened to change the banks routine the

opposite direction although ! could not

IL June has been looked upon as the
luclxiest Of mortaIs-one on whose future
the fates can hardly help smiling. Happy

who becomes a bride during the month OF

But now comes science with the start

with possibly one exception, quite the

regarding the desirability of choosing
day in June for ones wedding. Accord

dangers which are entirely beyond the
