Army Sanitation in Case of War.

War, as it seems to most people
! is conflict of craftsmanship and
strategy in the moving and distribu.
ton Of troops. But even more it is
a question of protection of the health
of the men. This will be the first
problem in case our boys go to
Mexico City.
Disease usually kills in war four
men to every one killed by bullets.
In the Spanish war, disease killed 13
to every one killed by Spanish arms.
Wonderful records in military hy-
giene were made in the Russo-Japan-
csc war on both sides. The Japs lost
but 21,000 odd by disease, to 55,-
900 in battles. The Russians lost
10000 by disease, to $1,000 by
bullets.
The Japs won that great conflict
primarily by their 'hygienic effici-
ency They had a sanitary division
of $4,000 men, some of whom went
ahead Of the troops in every scout
ing party The water in wells and
springs was analysed. Meats, vege-
tables, and fruits were tested. Towns
having contagious diseases were
quarantined. Lectures were given
to the soldiers, about when to drink
and when to battle, even to the
pairing of the finger nails to avoid
bacteria.
In case worst comes to worst in
Mexico, the first anxiety must be
for the health of our troops. The
Mexican soldiers have a way of aim
ing their rifles in battle at about
the hight of a second story window
The bulk of their shots will go wild
But the power of fever germs works
blindly against friend and foe.
Certainly there has been progress
in the United States army since the
woeful record of 1898. Panama and
Havana prove it. Anti-typhoid vac
cination has reduced cases of that
disease in the army to figure only
one twentieth what it was nine
years ago. Let it be hoped that the
scientific thoroughness which the
bluejackets displayed in the brief
bonn bardment of Vera Cruz, would
similarly be shown by the land forces
in a hygienic campaign.

Courage.

A farmer spilled some whiskey on
his barn floor, so that little stream
ran out. A certain mouse sailed
forth from his hole and being thirsty
took sip. 1t tasted strange and he
went back to his hole and thought.
Then he came out and took a big
drink. Then he jumped upon the
edge of the soap box and stood upon
his hind legs, bristled up his whisk-
ers,, and exclaimed:
Now bring on your damned
cat!'-Ex.

FOODS DESIGNED FOR SEASON
Apple and Grape Have Been Especial.
Iy Set Apart by Nature to Serve
at This Time.

The wise housekeeper is devoting
some attention to the apple and the
grape at this season, for they are the
most beneficial of all the fruits.
And we need them more now than
at any time during the year. Our
systems require the proteins. sugars
and fats, ETC., that they contain in
order that we may build up for the
long winter which is before US.
The wise housekeeper knows these
things. She studies food scientifically
and understands just what it is expe-
-dient to give her family at each sea-
son, just what food will be most nour-
ishing and notwithstanding for them.
A famous doctor in Germany has
said that apples should be placed on
the table three times day and every
day in the year.

its benignant influence, language is
inadequate to express it. Where do
we have such examples Of street
alignment? Here? Mol May we
have them? Yes Then. why not?

KlIUncm Ae a ......u "oS"
a Little Thought Given to Decoration
and Appointments Will Make 1t
Attractive.

It is possible to have the kitchen as
attractive in it's own way as the living
room, especially when tine woman does
the greater part of her work and takes
pride and pleasure in having the repu-
tation of being a good housewife.
The display Of qaint Delft ware
kitchen boxes on view in one hard
ware departm is enough to tempt
the housewife to reit a dingy kitck-
en-. These boxes. which are made to
hold sugar, salt and spice, are labeled
and have quaint Dutch scenes in blue
and white on theu. Half dozen OF
these boxes on the kitchen shelf, with
background Of clean paint or tilinG'
present an attractive appearance, as
well as very convenient way of hav-
ing these articles close at hand. The
newest bread boxes have rounded
glass windows in the lid, SO that the
contents may be inspected without
raising the lid and admitting the air.
What would our great-grandmothers
say to the array Of mechanical con-
trivances which make the up-to-date
kitchen resemble laboratory?. There
is about as little resemblance between
the present methods of cookery and
the utensils used, and the ways OF
yore as there is between our modern
gas stove and open fire and hanging
crane.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

PRETTY HOME MEANS MUCH
Attractive Surroundings of Farm
House Mark Place as Abode OF
!, Love and Contentment-

A very observant traveller OF un-
questioned taste observes: 81 wish l
could more forcibly impress upon the
mind of the farmer the value OF at
dractive surroundings. Every farm
home should be attractive. 1t is not
necessary to have a fine house or
fancy cottage or expensive lawn fence
to make the farm home pretty. To be
sure, neat fence, few ornaments
on the house and the free use Of
paint help nightly. but the chief at
fractions can be made of trees and
shrubs A shady lawn and Il shady
driveway are always attractive. Groups
of trees, shrubs or flowers never fail
to charm. The lawn may not be kept
perfectly smooth, all the trees may
not be cleanly pruned, yet the home
place ornamented with them does not
fail to convey the impression that
peace and contentment dwell there.
AS a lady from the city said: A pref
ty farm house suggests a happy birds
nest We do not notice the dwelling
so much as we do the surroundings.
If the surroundings are pretty we
know the interior of the house is all
right and that it is the abode of love
and contentment and all that makes
life worth living. We look to the city
for fine mansions, but to the country
for pretty homes"

AGAINST Billboards.

Agitation against the billboard nuf
,sance will not down and in the end
l:he protestants surely will win. Al
most every civic organization is now
|waging more or less bitter warfare
against this universally acknowledged
evil. One federation Of clubs has this
ito say in q circular recently issued:
!"Never cease to agitate talk against
lthe unsightly billboards and do all
within your power to rid your town
iof them. Refuse to patronize firms
advertising in this manner. They will
soon find out it does not pay them to
use billboards in your town and you
will have gone long way toward rid
ding the state Of them. Our district
will give especial attention to state
Legislation on the subject"

South Carolina Plans to Win Back

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) l.)-Entnusias.
tic plans are already under way in
Georgia, South Carolina and other
Southern states for the 1914 corn club

H. G.. Hastings, chairman of the ag-
riculturl committee Of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, has renewed
for 1914 his annual offer Of corn club
prizes in South Carolina and nine
other Southern states. Mr.. Hastings
offers $1,000 in prizes. Of this amount
s1O0 goes to South Carolina in three
prizes Of $50, $50 and $40 each. These
prizes are awarded under the direction

An interesting echo from last years
contest comes from Arkansas, where
the $50 prize, offered by Mr.. Hastings
was won by a 14-year-old girl, Miss
Delpbine Moore, who competed against
2,4OO boys, because there was no girls

The corn club work has made Won

The fathers Of the corn club boys, who
first looked on the movement as a
fad, have at last come to realize its
great prac' cal value and are now just
as much interested as their sons.

! GROWING PLANTS ON PORCH
Simple Arrangement Does Away with
the Baroness That Marks So
Many Homes.

There IS nothing that adds so at
tractively to the porch as large hang
ing baskets suspended between the
pillars. When making them, purchase
large, flare wire baskets, the larger
the better, in order to provide suffi-
cient earth to the growing plants.
Now is the time to make these bas'
Ikets, as the plants should have good
start before they are hung on the
porch. Line the baskets with WOOD
moss. A basket outlined with yellow
myrtle, the center being filed with
short ferns, is very pretty. The blue
myrtle is just as good.
: Trailing ferns. red geranfums and
striped grass are used In the baskets.
When porches are extremely large,
have one or more fern-filed porcelain
jardinieres on pedestals. If the porch
rugs are red. select green jardinieres'
or delft blue rug and blue porcelain
jardinieres and pedestals. The latter
lis very pretty as color scheme for
a porch.
: From any furniture dealer you can
buy for few cents the long boxes In
which curtain shades are sent by ex-
press. These boxes, IL painted and
filed with earth, make very good win
dow boxes for small flowers. They
rcan be placed crosswise on the oor-
iners Of the porch, or they can be
hung from the front to the side rail-
ing. They should be filled with Pc
!tunias, portulaca and any vine that
will trail over the sides.
