dealing with this new potato Htela-I
DIV. The department is issuing bull
letin (No. $2) entit=sz rOwdery
Scab OF Potatoes" which thorougnly
explains the disease and gives all the
practical advice available at the pres
emit regarding its control
PoWdery scab does not attack the
portion of the potato veins above the
ground It is primarily disease OF
the young tubers, which develops as
they mature in the ground. the di-
sease is apparent by small, slightly
raised pimpIes and slight discoIor-
alton OF the surface When cut open,
the infected areas appear family pur-
plish and extend from approximately
the outermost cells of the tuber tow
ard the deeper layers.
Stunts Growth.
The "powdery-scab" fungus, If con-
ditions are favorable, may eat large
cavities into the immature potatoes.
Besides consuming parts of the tub
ers it stunts their future growth and
causes them to be deformed.
Last spring the department i'm
ported IS varieties OF potatoes with
powdery scab for seed purposes. All
were found to be infected with pow
derry scab and had to be condemned.
Nine varieties were imported from
England for similar purposes and
were all infected in the same man
ner. The disease has been found on
potatoes from Belgium. Norway, and
Sweden. On the potatoes native
heath-South Amerfca-the disease
has been found. 1t was reported in
several provinces of Canada in 1913.
From Canada the disease has made
some Roadway across the border into
northern Maine. This is the one place
where there is real danger at present
from the infection, but active meas
ures are being taken TO drive out the
disease and to prevent the shipment
of diseased potatoes to other sections.
The seriousness of powdery scab
may be realized from the following
statement by a conservative Canadian
scientist:
THE disease should by no means
be regarded lightly. Severe attacks
occur when potatoes are planted year
after year on infected land. Where
this is practiced the result will be po-
tatoes hardly superior in quality to
those badly effected with the canker.
This fact is worthy of notice, espec-
tally since, as in the case of canker,
no preventive. measures have proved
of much value"
American Consumers Object.
Any kind of scab or other injury
that mars or defaces the potato tub
er is a more serious handicap in the
American markets that those of Eu-
ropean coun tries, due to the fact that
consumers abroad offer fewer objec-
lions 10 scabby potatoes than con sum-
ers In the United States. There is
even a belief prevalent abroad that
scabbiness is an indication of super
Tor ouality. In the United States,
when potatoes are put on the market,
scabby potatoes must be sorted out,
and therefore are of no use except for
stock feed or the manufacture of
starch. In Maine the price of scabby
notatoes in the autumn of 1913 was
so cents per barrel, while clean
stock brought $50 per barrel.

System In Shopping Said
To Be Very advantageous

Shopping is looked upon by one class
Of women as a great pleasure, far ahead
Of a ride or a matinee, but to another
class II is an unmitigated bore. ToStht
practical woman. a shopping expedition
resembles any business engagement. II
is to be met in a businessIike way. the
proper preparation made before II Is
undertaken and completed expeditiously
with as little confusion as possible.
The woman who goes to a reliable
store and makes her purchases is very
satisfied than the one who runs about
from one store to another in an attempt
to find something which may possibly
be more to her liking or a few cents
cheaper.
Just looking is the hardest and most
unsatisfactory work that can be INDUCED
In, both for the shopper and for the
store people, and the one who makes her
decision early Is usually clearer on what
she really wants than the one who make
selection after the confusion incident
to much looking and searching. One can
not think of a real woman being so
thoughtless as TO take the time Of a
salesman IL he is busy when she has no
intention of buying. yet this Is frequent
ly done by the one who spends much
time in looking
The one who makes a business affair
of her shopping may find much enjoy
ment in an expedition and at the same
time complete IL successfully and In
much better time than the one who
goes at II in a haphaZard way. Before

the authorities to extend to this won

women almost never attained university

Five years later, when she was twenty
seven, Laura Bassi was married to a
man Of learning named Joseph verati
and by him she had several children.
For Laura was by no means the typical
blue stocking. She was really a very
pretty woman with a manner that was
at once sweet and magnetic.
Her face, in spite of the fact that II
was SCARED by smallpox, was exceed
ingly attractive. 1t was a serious, mod
est and exceedingly sweet In express
sion. Laura Bassi's eyes were almost as
noted as her remarkable intellect and
they were said to be the soul of the
face of this remarkable woman. They
were typical italian eyes, dark ana full
OF animation, but they possessed an in
describable quality of tenderness ana
sweetness. Last but not least Of Laura
Bassfs charms, she was a very charit-
able woman and. as her biographer

makes a list Of everything she needs
placing first those which amount to the
most and which are really necessary for
her to purchase. She will make careful
how much she feels that she can pay at
an outside figure. When the selection
is made no time or energy Is wasted in
making these. estimates, for a glance at
the memoranda tells all Of the story that
is necessary. %
After the address is given where the
goods are to be sent. the shopper is ready
to pass on to the next department indi-
Gated by her list One way that time
is often wasted is in having ones atten-
ton distracted by attractive merchan-
disc which one passes. but IL one will
steadily put these temptations aside
until the list has been completed. then,
II she has the inclination, she may look
here and there for pretty things and not
be hurried just before time to start for
home because she has not purchased all
Of the necessary merchandise.
In making out the list time is saved
II one will classify the articles. putting
the various kinds of dry goods and gro
ceries. books, crockery and furniture to-
gether, to save many steps. This plan
for curtailing work in shopping may ap-
pear to some too simple to try, but one
who has tested 1t thoroughly has found
that much of the planning may be done
at home quicker and better. Shopping

cause the management has posted the

Clerks must not eat onions or garlic.

Men employees must not use tobacco

Women employees must not use face

The rules covering the use Of tobacco
