WRONG BREAKFAST.

heavy foods. This is a mistake as

too SMALL wanted saucerful. n

Grape-Nuts went long way and that

So I started In with Grape-Nuts and
cream, two soft boiled eggs and some
crisp toast for breakfast.

stuff I had been used to eating all
my life and was gratified to see that
I was getting better right along. /

RE-CLEAR FIELDS
OF SCRUB TIMBER
Brush Hacked Down, Burned
Over and Then Cleared by
Pasturing to Stock.
(By A. ]. LEGG.)

There are many old fields that have
been thrown out years ago, and have SO
grown up with scrub timber, green
briers and other filth that it looks to
be almost an impossible undertaking
to reclear them.
If it is undertaken to kill them by
grubbing out briers and brush 1t Is in
deed hard job, and the briers will
sprout for years, but, if the brush Is
hacked down and let dry, then burned
over, the land can be effectually
cleared by pasturing it with cattle and
sheep.
A few years ago l had a field over
grown with green briers and pine.
There were patches of green brier so
dense that it was impossible to get
through them, let alone grub them out.
These thickest patches were burned
through. The fire killed other briers,
then in few months they, too, would
burn. so made it a rule that when
ever l found patch Of green brier
dry enough to burn l would set fire to
1t.
The pines were all cut down and as
soon as they got dry, they, too, were
burned.
The briers were kept down by the
stock grazing over them.
Whenever a young brier appeared 1t
was ripped up. BY the end of the third
year the brier roots were all rotted and
the pine stumps we're pretty we'll rot
ted so that the land could be plowed.

Food In Scotlond.

Now that the Scottish holiday sea-
son is just about to begin there is a
controversy In the North as to the
food provided by the boarding house
keepers and landladies of Scotland
for their patrons from England. 1t
seems that the Scots do not alter
their menus to suit the southerners
and that some of the southerners re-
sent this. They want more vegeta-
bles, for instance, and a greater va
riety Of them. They demand turnip
tops "a luxury rarely consumed north
Of the Tweed, save by Sheep, and
ask, Why no spinach?" Also they
want heavy supper, likewise beer
The complaining controversialists
say 1t is case Of ham and eggs for
breakfast, a midday dinner and high
tea to conclude the meals of the day.
AS for beer, they report that Scottish
landladies at the coast resorts look
askance at people who wish beer sent
in. So far the only reply of Scotland
to the fault-finders is that when they
are in Scotland they should eat what
the Scots eat and get their beer out

THIS MODERN EVENING GOWN
Garment Moved Good Old Ethnoiogist
to Remembrance Of Forms Of
Salutation.

Her evening gown made the good
old ethnologist stare, for it had neither
sleeves nor back, and in the skirt OF
thin white silk a panel Of lace, running
to the knee revealed the fash of-yes,
the good old ethnologist stared. Then
he said in his good and simple way:
You are very beautiful, my child.
That gown is revelation. And do you
know what it reminds me Of? 1t re-
minds me of the form Of salutation
practised in Ethiopia.
In Ethiopia, when a guest arrives,
the host, as sign Of submission, be-
gins to disrobe himself. He takes or
this, he takes off that, and he would
strip himself entirely did his guest not
beg him to stop. The guest, of course,
gives the signal long before things
have gone as far as-as far as"
The old ethnologist with smiling
gesture indicated the young lady's
gown. Then he resumed:
"Other nations, too, as a sign of hos
pitality, practise this disrobing act in
various minor forms. Thus the lifting
of the hat-lsn't that the same thing?
Isn't it the beginning, perhaps, of the
removal of the coat, shoes, and SO
forth?
THE japanese peasant actually does
remove his shoe, as l remove my tile,
in salutation. And the people of ARA
can remove both shoes as salute Of
welcome when out of doors; while in
doors they remove their stockings
also.
And so l tell myself, as l look at
your new gown, that we also are now
adopting the disrobing act as a signal

Make Navi6 i61.tion in Fogs Safe.


The statement of Captain Roberts
of the New York does not clear up
this second case of ships in a fog
knowing each others proximity and
constantly communicating, yet unable
to avoid collision. If the Pretoria's
captain was out Of the regular sum-
mer course for east-bound transatlan-
tic liners, that requires some explana-
ton from him. And when he chose to
go, ahead, after the New York had
signaled that it had stopped to avoid
a collision, he assumed a certain re-
sponsibility for which he must &C
count. Nevertheless, 1t is not yet clear
that any real blame attaches to him.
But real blame does attach to rules
and conditions Of navigation which
make possible two collisions within
few days between vessels in fog. but

EVIL IN CROSS BREEDING
Weak and Degenerate Stock Has Been
Evolved In the Population Of
Dominican Republic.

The bulk Of the Dominican popula-
ton are mulattoes, and the Spanish
mulattO has proven in the main
weak and degenerate stock. The un-
desirable results OF the Spanish-negro
cross have been evident from the ear
liest times. The severest judgment
upon the Spanish mulatto that | have
ever read is contained in the official
report OF a governor of French Santo
Domingo written before the close OF
the seventeenth century, and but few
writer's on tropical America dissent
from the unfavorable point of View'
writes T. Lothrop Stoddard in the
American Review of Reviews.
Certainly the mulatto population OF
the Dominican republic seems to bear
out these pessimistic judgments. They
are patiently a feeble folk and lack
ambition and endurance, both physi-
cal and mental. Good physical types
are rarely found outside the pure
white or pure black elements. Tuoer-
culosis and leprosy are rampant, while
other diseases and alcoholism contin-
ually enfeeble the stock. The degen-
eracy Of the Dominican population
cannot be laid to the climate, which Is
unusually healthful, especially the In
terror uplands, and foreign whites
thrive with elementary precautions re-
garding diet, sanitation and clean liv-
ing.
Santo Domingo's only hope seems to
lie in prolonged tutelage to some for
eign power which will assure such
conditions of order. and good govern
ment as will permit the development
of the country's splendid natural re-
sources and implant the fabric of civ
ilization. 1t may be that in course OF
time the mass of the population can
be raised to that plane of political eff
fciency now reached only by the small
elite of the towns, but it is certain
that the only way by which this will
ever come to pass is a long period OF
peace and prosperity under foreign
guidance and direction.
