ous results obtained in this work
show that most plants, either grain
or flower, are remarkably stimulated
and give a better yield both in size
and quality, this being often seen in
the fine and healthy color of the green
plants or leaves. The same plants are
in better condition to resist attacks
from various sources of disease, es-
pecially diseases known as crgptogam-
ic, which arise from spores-or mold. It
seems that radium is to act as pre-
ventive for such diseases as wheat

Used with fruit,
bread, crackers and vegetables, which
are largely cellulose, they are most
easily digested. A formal luncheon
or dinner is incomplete without salt
ed almonds and lunch basket is not
properly furnished without handful Of
nuts of some kind to add variety as

A few blanched almonds added TO
potato salad give it a most festive

Brazilian Salad.-This makes a most
refreshing dinner salad. Remove the
skin and seeds from white grapes and
cut in halves lengthwise. Add an
equal quantity of shredded fresh pine
apple, apples cut in dice, and celery
cut in small pieces, allowed to stand
in icewater to become firm and crisp.
Then drain and dry well on cheese
cloth. Add fourth of the quantity Of
Brazil nuts which have been carefully
peeled of the brown skin and cut in
even slices. Mix we'll and add may
onnaise dressing. Serve in nests Of
lettuce leaves.
5enares Salad.-Use fresh grated
cocoanut one cupful, two cupfuls Of
diced apple, teaspoonful Of grated
onion, one chopped red pepper and one
Of green, mixed we'll with French
dressing and serve in apple cups. If
fresh peppers and cocoanut are not OBJ
tainable use the dry cocoanut well
washed in milk to remove the sugar
and soften it; for green, chopped pars-
ley may be substituted for the pepper
and canned red pepper may be used
for the fresh, although 1t is not nearly
as pretty.
A nut omelet is so we'll liked that
it is well to store 1t for use. Put a
handful of blanched almonds in the
pan with the butter and pour the ONE
let in at once; when 1t is folded the
almonds will be well Drowned. Serve
with hot maple or caramel sauce.

Water was turned into tina mains

Saturday and after a lively scrap
with the Tonkawa Construction
company the city is utilizing its new
water works system. The water is
said to be excellent. The superfn-
tendent Of construction, John Ehr-
hacker, says that 10000 gallons a
day can be pumped and that the
big reservoir, which holds more
than 100000 gallons, will overflow
twice during twenty-four hours. Fol-
lowing litigation in the courts, the
construction company was ordered
to go ahead and finish the work.
When the work was finished the
state board Of health issued a per-
NIT for the plant to be used. No
settlement for the construction work
has been made.

Here is a curious statement from
Vienna, Austria, in the New York
Post: "Your readers will be sur
prised to learn that both in Austria
and in Hungary industry is not suf-
fering from the war. Certain branch
es are even flourishing as they have
not done for many years There are
no unemployed and there is a great
lack Of skilled labor. The concerns
which are exceedingly busy are
those which produce guns, gunpow-
der, shoes, revolvers, meat and veg
etable preserves, woOllen blankets,
rubber sheets, machinery, many Of
these have had to extend their plants
and to take on inexperienced hands.
Even several branches of the textile
trade are very busy, large quantities
OF wool having been provided by the :
Germans from Antwerp, SO that
winter clothing can be manufactured
for the army in the needed quanti-
ties, which are great" Maybe the
war will last longer than Ntchener's

Down in Allen county. according
to the lola Register, has just been
completed what is claimed to be the
best piece of road in Kansas. 1t is
one mile long, extending from the
end of the pavement and is a con-
crete road, with steel expansion
Joints, carefully and scientifically
built, by skilled workmen and out
of the best material. The Register,
however, has some doubts about 1t
and predicts: THAT the new road
will stand the wear from automo-
miles is not doubted-although the
driver who ventures on its smooth
surface when 1t Is wet with rain or
snow would do we'll to be on his
guard But that 1t will stand the
grind of heavy, iron-tired wagons,
seems highly improbable. The guess
In this office is that under such 4
traffic the concrete surface of the
road will crack and scale and go to
pieces" However and nevertheless,
If it works 1t is the start on per-
manent road building of which AL
