tEl3f CTR ing trip from
Hampton, we were very kindly
received by the people of Pickens
Circuit.
Circuits of the Upper South
Carolina Conference. Three of
our eight little churches are in
the mountains right at the foot
of the Rlue Ridge. I believe
that some of our people here are
the salt of the Earth. Some
of them do not have much Of
this worlds goods, and do not
see very much money, but they
always live good and make you
welcome to their homes.
We found a S nall parsonage
here, with two unfinished rooms
upstairs, and very little furnish
ings in the rooms down stairs.
But the good people have put in
some furnishings since we came
and they have promised to put
in some more as soon as they
can.
We are making an effort to
finish the rooms up stairs, and
to put two coats of paint on the
outside. My son Paul and I
are willing to put on the paint,
and do most of the other work,
if we can get the money to buy
the material. These people are
worthy, and are having a hard
pall, and if any one who reads
this will send US some money to
finish these rooms and paint
this parsonage, God will not for
get their labor of love. One
preacher brother has already
sent me s1.00 as nucleus. Who
will be next?

The above poem was composed by
Joel only short while before his death,
Nov. q, 1914. These were the last
lines that he ever wrote. His subject,
"Cross Roads Band" was chosen in
honor of their Sunday school and prayer
meeting, in which he was most deeply
interested. 'Tis sad to give up such a
promising boy as Joel, only in his 17th
year; yet such must be chronicled in
many cases. ''God is too wise to make

RAW FOODS
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
By Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., LII.
D., Commissioner of Health

This is the season when the amateur
gardener S eyes are delighted by the
rows of summer vegetables that are
poking their green leaves above the
warm earth. The season for raw foods
has already arrived.
Lettuce, water-cress, radishes, par.
sley, eueumbers, leeks, berries and
many otherstoothsome growing things
burden the market stalls and tempt
the housewife after the winter menu
of canned vegetables.
A certain per cent. of raw foods is
an excellent stimulant to the appetite
and a wholesome change at this season
of the year. Care should be exercised,
however, that they are properly
cleansed before being eaten. Often the
laborers in the truck gardens and those
who handle the truck before reaching
the consumer are careless in the use of
dangerous fertilizers and some pick
aad prepare the vegetables for market
who are also careless to degree that
is almost criminal.
All vegetables to be eaten raw and
berries, even at the risk of slightly in
juring their flavor, should be thor
oughly washed before being eaten.
Gardens should be fertilized with
care. No night soilN should be used on
truck gardens from which the porduce
may be served uncooked. Watercress
must not be grown in polluted streams.

BACKYARD GARDENERS BUSY

The backyard gardeners are among the busiest
of mortals these days. Their industry is not to be
scoffed at, but to be respected. They are making
two onions grow where none grew before All per-
sons who are thus adding to the wealth of the
nation whether they producing onions or other
useful food, deserve success in their undertakings
Backyard gardens exist in great numbers in all
parts of this city. If they counted their total
would no doubt be surprising as would the aggre-
gate value, if known of the food which they will
yield. Harrisburg cultivated backyards will pro-
duce for the tables of its thrifty gardeners vege-
tables which will be earlier, fresher and cheaper
than those which market stalls will offer
The labor of the gardeners must be considered. it
would seem, if fair estimates are to be made of the
profits of the business. That labor however, is
largely pleasureabe recreation and in itself profit
Gardening provides needed diversion for many of
those individuals classed tired business men,
and for men of various professions and trades who
also get tired from time to time There is healthfu
exercise for city in small scale tilling Of the
soil which puts the value of the labor if that value
is to be considered at ALL on the side of the assets
rather than of the liabilities
The backyard gardener has many advantages
over the professional farmer. His acreage is not
nearly so great since he is not even attempting to

and much valuable timber land, wants as eOm-
panion in peril a criminal who has served some
time in penitentiary and is about to be discharged
He says he took along sturdy college student on
former expedition, but was forced to confront
danger unaided when it came' and to protect the
frightened young fellow besides. Consequently he
wants a hardened criminal for his partner in his
next hazardous undertaking,-one who is afraid
of neither man nor beast.
There are many different kinds of criminals, how
ever and not all would be fitted for jungle explora-
ton. The sneak thieves who pick pockets and snatch
purses and then run for all they are worth would
not be of much account where there are jaguars
and boa constructors to be dealt with. Bank rob-
bers might be more to the purpose. very desper
ate fellow of this class could no doubt do much to
make life miserable for wild animals with which
he might come in contact
There is no other place where society might
rather wish ineurable criminals to be than the
jungles of South America unless it be the interior
of Africa one>Nr the other of the polar regions
In civilized lands where wealth is there is always
temptation for the thieves In the wilds of South
to be had it belongs to whoever is able to take pos
session of it and what is more to get away with it
to the centers of population where it is appreciated
The pity is that opportunity is at present offered
for but one criminal out of so many thousands, to
benefit society and himself by going to the South
American jungles to live.
The impression would be mistaken one, of
course, that only hardened criminals have the nee
essary courage to face the peris of the jungles.
There is perhaps no finer example of bravery in
South American exploration than that exhibited by
Darwin, one of the worlds greatest of thinkers.
At the time when he was in the Argentina sur
rounded by Indians who had no pity on any whites
whom they captured, the author of ''The Journal
of the Voyage of the Beagle" penetrated into re-
gions where even the Gauches would not go, and
faced perils innumerabe. 1t would be difficult to
conceive of second Darwin coming forth from
the cell of penitentiiary.
