CROP WASTE IS ENORMOUS
Diiisent Cleaning Would Yield an
Abundance Of Good Food for
the Hungry.

Ever since Ruth CLEANED in the
felfs of Boaz there has been lesson
tc all mankind that there is enough
waste in the world to give all an hon
eel living, if it were only diligently
cleaned.
The other day, riding through the
country, we noticed many bushels of
dropped apples that were left to rot.
Why, we thought, could not those
apples be gathered and given to the
poor? No reason, except there was
no effort made to do it. We raise
millions to send Bibles to the hea-
then; why not few hundred to send
those apples to the people who really
need them. 1t would give lots of
happiness and improve greatly the
Christianity of those who do the
cleaning and the distributing.
There are many fruits and vege-
tables in our orchards and gardens
that are hardly marketable and yet
would be good food to many people.
Why might not the idle people be
organized to gather up this food and
scatter it among the poor? If an
organization was formed to receive
and distribute these gleanings there
would, no doubt, be plenty brought
IN. There ls plenty of good will, if
it were only set in the grooves and
started along.-Ohio State Journal.

KENTUCKY GIRL IS
ENGAGED TO PRINCE

Announcement of the approaching
marriage of Miss Elizabeth Reid
Rogers, Of Washington, D. c., for
merly, of this city, to Prince Chris
tan, of Germany, nephew of En-
peror William H., has just been
made in the Washington newspapers.
The marriage is to be celebrated
in the spring. Upon his marriage
the bridegroom will become Count
Christian, it is said.
Miss Rogers is a member of the
widely known Mt. Sterling family of
that name and is well known in Lex
ington. She is now with her mother
in Berlin. Miss Rogers was educat-
ed in Paris and made her debut
three years ago. She was presented
at the court of st. James and is a
social favorite in London. Miss
Rogers and Prince Christian first
met in Egypt year ago.

MUCH VIRTUE IN THE GRAPE
None Of the Fruits More Potent In the
Effsots Upon the Human
system.

Since the dawn of creation the
grape has played a part in the his
tory of mankind. We find mention
of unfermented grape juice in the
earliest recorded history. In Greece
and Persia grapes we're made into
a strip in order that they might be
preserved as long out of season as
possible.
The grape contains many health
giving elements. Both the water
and sugar of the grape require no
digestion, so can readily be taken
into the blood. The mineral ele-
ments in the fruit clear, strengthen
and cleanse the liver, kidneys and in
testines. Some one has aptly said
that if the grape we're a medicine
more could not be claimed for it.
Grape sugar is one of the most
important elements contained in the
fruit Albuminous matter, lime,
iron, genuine cream of tartar, which
is the natural salt of the grape, and
vinous acid, which is similar to the
malic acid of the apple, are also
found. Indeed, there is no safer
tonic in health or general i'll health
than the grape.
The grape is at its best when
nipped by the frost. Those who
have had the pleasure of breakfast
ing on cold grapes pulled from the
vine on a frosty morning will, in
deed, vote them a rare treat.
There is no more welcome addi-
ton to the preserve closet than grape
juice

Working In cooperation with Con-

merce, the Detroit Board of Com
merce is seeking 10 enlarge the mar
ket for Detroit products in South
America. Members OF the export
bureau of the board held meeting,
Tuesday afternoon. In which the mat
ter was discussed at length.
Detroit has been selected as the
place for one of the domestic export
bureaus provided for In recent act
of congress. These bureaus are to
be established under the direction OF
the department of commerce. 1t Is
hoped by members Of the local Board
OF Commerce that the opening OF this
bureau may be fastened 80 that 1t
can be used In ne widening Of the
South American market to offset
losses incurred by the present war.
1t was suggested in the Tuesday
meeting that the Board OF Commerce
send representative to the principal
South American cities, but the pro-
posal was opposed on the ground
that the best men to go would be In
dividual representatives of the manu-
lecturers Interested. Some OF the
difficulties which confront exporters
to South America are the lack OF
banking connections and the fact
