APPLES As MEDICINE

There are two old English saws
which confirm Mr. Radclif Cooks
praises Of apples:
An apple day keeps the doctor
away
Eat an apple on going to bed,
You will make your doctor beg his
bread.
An experience of some length en-
ables me TO support all he says as
to the benefit of eating raw apples the
last thing at night.
A DIR. Sears some years ago wrote
to the Journal Of Agriculture;
The apple is such common fruit
that few are familiar with its remark
able efiicacious proprieties. Every
body ought to know that the very
best thing they can do is to eat
apples just before retiring for the
night. The apple is an excellent brain
food, because it has more phosphoric
acid in easily digested shape than any
other vegetable known. II excites the
action Of the liver, promotes sound
and healthy sleep and thoroughly dis
infects the mouth. That is not all
The apple agglutinates the surplus
acids of the stomach, helps the kid
ney secretions and is one Of the best
preventives known to diseases of the
throat. Everybody should be familiar
with such knowledge. Next to the
orange and lemon, it is the best anti
iote for the thirst and craving of the
person addicted to alcohol or opium.

TO LOOK AFTER PUBLIC
HEALTH

Washington, Nov. 9.-Surgeon- Gen
eral Blue yesterday outlined the pre-
parations being made by the public
health service to combat the entrance
of disease to this country after the
European war.
American consuls throughout Eu-
rope have been instructed to notify
the Health Service immediately upon
the appearance of any epidemic in
their localities. They have been noti-
fed to keep on the lookout particular
ly for cholera, which is already re-
ported to have made its appearance
among the Austrian troops.
In addition to the consular repre-
sentatives, the service has special
agents Of its own abroad watching
the war from medical point of view.
With such information in advance,
DR.. Blue points out, the service will
know what particular class or nation
atty of immigrants TO watch most
closely when the great influx comes
after peace is restored. The closest
inspection Of immigrants will be
DR.. Blue declared.
The service had its first experience
fighting European cholera in 1911,
when the disease broke out in South
European countries. Particular care
must be exercised to keep out the
carriers of the disease, for it has been
proved that persons cured Of cholera
may carry the germs in their systems
a long time after their recovery.

HOW TO MARKET APPLES

In recent issue of the Rural New
Yorker, the Hope Farm man gives his
experiences in marketing his crop of
apples. 1t is well worth reading.
1--WE finished picking the last week
in October. The actual crop ran at
least so barrels over our estimate on
the trees, and there are still over 100
barrels of drops and culls to pick up.
We cannot handle them this year, 50
they are sold on the ground--the buy
er picking them up, paying so much a
bushel. He will sort and sell part as
pie fruit and the rest for vinegar. We
could get more out Of it If we had the
time to pick up, but with our crop to
rush of before December / we have
little time to handle drops. Our fruit
will mostly go into the local market.
We put the following advertisement
into the paper published in our county
town:
BERGEN COUNTY APPLkS - Our
fruit is sound and fine this year and
will be sold direct from orchard in
scant half barrel baskets. No. L

sound; No. 2 are Of smaller size, other

size. slightly bruised, but suitable for
cooking. Free delivery.

FIREARMS IN CHILDREN'S
HANDS

In the Maine hunting accident re-
Gently it was noticeable, as so often is
the case, that the shooting was done
by a mere youth, person without
mature judgment and probably prone
to surrender to the spirit Of excite
ment much more readily than an
adult. The shooter was only i3 years
old, being at an age when the use Of
heavy-calibre firearms ought to be
denied him and when, above all things,
he ought to be kept out of the woods
and fields during the season when
countless hunters are abroad. Per-
haps it is not putting the estimate too
high TO say that two-thirds Of the
fatalities that occur in hunt
ing are perpetrated by those Of i'm
mature years who, despite their youth,
consider themselves capable Of engag-
ing in the sport. But therein they
show that their judgment is a fault.
They are not capable Of that restraint
which is necessary when there IL 80

A paint mine was recently discov-
cred in the town of Sandgate, which
promises to be one Of the biggest dis
coveries Of its kind ever found. Men
are already at work developing the
mine, which is expected TO produce
millions of tons Of Venetian red paint.
Samples Of red and yellow have been
brought out and tested by experts, and
they claim it is the finest specimen
ever produced from mother earth. In
stead of having to drill, blast and
mine this paint ore, all the men have
to do is shovel It out. II is solid
mass Of decomposed granite, and
brings out one Of the highest grades
Of red paint ever found In mine.
This paint can be made to bring out
nine different colors by using drop

and the company will be known as The

other food. Here are opportunities
for small organization of farmers to
meet these household organizations in
direct trade. Two things are neces-
sary, however. We must be fair. We
must learn TO make standard for our
goods and live right up to it, and we
must make fair price. ! consider it
folly for the farmer to try to hold up
his direct customers to the retail
prices charged by the stores. We
must offer fair inducement if we
ever expect to change the present sys-

CUTTING THE HIGH COST or

carried the name Of Vermont around
the world, although the outdoor work.
err adds home made pig sausage rs q
stimulating side-dish OF great staying
power.
Boston claims baked beans and pork
as its own. but there are Vermont
house wives who cook beans better
than any chef in Boston or elsewhere.
Beans baked alone are sustaining and
healthful, better perhaps for delicate
stomachs than the richer dish with a
goodly hunk" of picked pork, but
both are good and the cost is very
low per unit Of protein.
Making hulled corn is an art fast
passing into disuse and obsolescence,
but the cleanly removal of the hard
hull of Indian corn by the I've process,
its thorough washing and service in
an old blue bowl, with plenty Of neat
milk, represents vegetarian delight
that is full of nourishment
Corn bread and fried pork with
milk gravy is a dish that is more
digestible than it sounds, especially II
one serves merely the light, mealy,
yellow corn bread or "jonnycake" as
it is more happily termed, with the
thiekened gravy in lieu Of butter fat,
letting the hired man or the hearty
sons of the house eat the crisp slices
Of the griled pork,
Even the minute pudding, or the
hasty corn meal mush, served with
honest milk, makes satisfying break
fast dish, while the baked Indian pud
ding, in connection with the incompar-
able New England boiled dinner, is
distinctly sui generis and worthy Of all
praise.
1t is not given every housewife to
achieve the triumph of the boiled din |
ner, the excellence of which comes !
from superior knowledge, lifelong
usage and intelligent selection.
This royal dish has home picked |
corned beef and streaked salt pig pork
as its meat ingredients, with cabbage,
potatoes, beets, turnips, and carrots
FOR its vegetable auxiliaries. Boiled to-
gether with nice discrimination,
these constitute a dish from which
every appetite may be appeased.
The browning touch is the baked
Indian pudding, which, by the way,
nay be steamed over the great pot of
he boiled dinner. Dressed with maple
syrup, this is a dessert which jaded
lppetites in New York lobster places
night recall with nostalgia tears.
Each Of these dishes, which repres-
ent but modicum of the Vermont
housewives lore, may be made strict
y vegetarian to appeal to the most
,imid stomach.
And none of them costs as much as
butchers meat and bakers bread. Cut
The high cost of living by eating a
