THE TOMATO.

The tomato, known botanically as
lycospersicum esculentum, belongs to
the natural order Solanacae, as do
the potato and the eggplant, is a
native of South America, and is said
to have been introduced into Eng
land as early as 1896 where for many
years it was known only as an orna-
mental plant, or for it's reputed med
icinal qualities.
Yet its wholesomeness was rocog-
nized in some quarters at COM
paratively early date, for in 1929
it's Virtues were described by
Parkinson as follows: in hot coun-
tries where they naturally grow,
they are much eaten by people, to
cool and quench the heat and thirst
of their hot stomachs. The apples
are also boiled or infused in oil in
the SUM-"
However, it is only about seventy
five years since the use of the toma-
to for eating became general in this
country. known to our grandmoth-
ers as the Love Apple, it was re-
garded by many as poisonous or at
least unfit for food, while for a long
time there was a widespread belief
that the eating of tomatoes would
cause cancer.
Today the world knows it to one
Of the most wholesome, as it is one
Of the most popular vegetables
grown. 1t is slightly laxative,
gentle sweetener of the blood, and
eaten fresh from the vines, is con-
sidered anti-bilious. No other veg
etable except the potato is so err
tensively grown, and it merits the
claim someone has made for it as
Prince of the Household Vegeta-
bles."
There is no vegetable more easily
grown than the tomato. and as
there are variety of ways in which
one can grow them. their cultivation
80 easy, and the vegetable itself so
popular, it is easily seen why the
tomato was chosen as the standard
product Of the canning clubs of
America.
Tomatoes are necessity in the
majority Of homes, therefore, the
necessity arose to produce them in
in large Quantities arl i, small
cost. DR.. Seaman Knapp of the de-
partment of agriculture, seeing in
all quarters the great demand for
them, and realizing the underlying
educational value of a country wide
product, originated the plan for
boys and girls clubs. An immense
amount of good has already been
done in the four years the work has
: been established, and girls have
, been taught to do many useful
, things in connection with CROWNS
r tomatoes, and the boys with grow
l ing corn. Elk.

Delicious Orange
Is Named After
Gov. Trarllmell

To Governor Park Trammell falls
the honor of having the most delic-
ious orange ever produced in Florida
named after him. Governor Tarmmell
has a staunch friend in the person
of Col. James E. Alexander of De-
Land, who owns one Of the finest
groves in this section of Florida,
and when Mr.. Alexander discovered
that in his grove there was couple
of thornless trees bearing seedless
fruit Of unrivalled flavor he named
them for the governor.
The Governor Trammell orange is
different from any other orange pro-
duced in the state, according to the
verdict Of all who have had an OPP
portunity of examining them. The
meat is unusually solid and differ
ent in color from other oranges. 1t
is remarkably prolific in Juice of an
exceptionally delicious flavor.
Colonel Alexander only has two
trees of this variety and so far as
he knows they are the only two OF
the knid extant. Being seedless they
can, only be propagated by budding
and he has budded several thousand
on other stock. The Governor
Trammell orange remains on the
trees extremely we'll until late in
the summer and last year Colonel
Alexander received from five to ten
dollrs a box from the fruit oc his
two trees.
An item of interest to Daytona
people in connection with Colonel
Alexanders grove is the fact that on
his lace is beautiful lake which
he has named for Commodore c. G,
Burgoyne, of this city. Commodore
Burgoyne's popularity not being
confined to Daytona alone, but he
making friends wherever he is
known.-Daytona Journal.

FOOD RIOTS DUE

Der of food riots, as reported by ca
BILE, is charged solely to specula-
ton. In 1914 the crops were better
than in previous years, with an ex-
cess of 100000 tons Of wheat over
the crop of 1918, but notwithstand-
inging these prices have munted so
high that the government has been
forced to take measures to avoid
monopolies, and has intimated its
intention of fixing the maximum
prices.
Wheat, cereals in general, pota-
toes, beans and other products have
been exported in great quantitis to
France and England. Numerour
French agents have bought beef and
vegetables at prices above normal
and Switzerland alone last month
bought for its army 100000
worth Of food products from Spain
All this has caused a natural crisis
which has been felt severely in the
provinces.

fact that work in the factories 1.

Unburied Dead
Found on Field
Seven Months
After Battle
(By Associated Press. }

=
Paris, April 21-"Seven months
after the beginning Of the retreat
Of the Germans" says DR.. Dolly,
deputy for the department of the
Ardennes, "unburied dead are being
discovered on the battlefield of the
Marn. In tn center Of village on
the banks of the Marine where the
sanitary department was clearing
away the debris they brought to
light a body that VS. beyond identi-
fication either as German or French.
Hundreds. II not thousands OF
bodies are supposed to be lying
more or less submerged in the Saint
Gond marshes where the Prussian
guard was thrown back; they had
neither the time nor the means to
save those who fell there"
In order to avoid tn epestilential
effects Of warm weather on these
unburied corpses. DR.. Dolby thinks
it will be necessary to explore the
entire swampy region with the aid
of dogs.
Bodies are also being found con-
stantly under brush in bitches and
abandoned trenches. They are
found not only in bitches, trenches
and excavations made by shells but
in wells, springs and all the little
streams of the region. In many
places where it was possible for
them to bury their dead they were
insufficiently covered with earth and
were frequently buried in too close
/, proximity to sources of water sup
ply.
These conditions exist over zone
ESQ miles long and from 10 to 40
miles wide with a total of from
5000 to 5000 square miles of
ground, considerable part Of
which required thorough disinfec-
ton to prevent the outbreak Of cpl
denies. Besides the bodies of men
there were in this zone thousands
of bodies of animals part of them
killed by shell fire and many of them
dead from starvation, having been
abandoned by the fleeing population.
This vast work Is disinfection is
we'll under way. All the debris from
bombarded buildings is being clear
ed away and the ground saturated
with a solution of lime. The floors
of every building that has been oc-
cupied by troops, either German or
French, are being scraped then
washed in a solution Of hot water
and carbonate of soda, while the
walls are all newly whitewashed .
Wherever any odor remains after
these precautions have been taken
more drastic measures are resorted
, to; in som cases the building is
. burned.
All yards and gardens around
buildings that have sheltered trops
are sprinkled with chloride Of lime.
All wells and springs are thorough
j, ly cleaned and the use Of the water
prohibited until analysis shows it to
be absolutely unpolluted.
The authorities have also to solve
the serious problem Of sheltering
the population that is gradually re-
turning to the DEVASTATED regions.
At Maurupt, a town of 700 inhabi-
tants, that was almost completely
destroyed, 200 have already return
ed and are living mostly in the eel
lars Of demolished houses and under
conditions that constitute meanace
to health almost as serious as the
presence Of unburied or insufficient
~ buried dead bodies.

THE FACE ON THE DOLLAR


dollar in your hand, FURNISH 1t up
bit and take a good look at the
face of the goddess stamped upon it.
Did you ever see finer features,
loftier expression, a countenance
more suggestive of the peace and
calm and benevolence Of life?
Is it not face to suggest hon.
esty and to inspire confidence?
Would you not go to woman with
such countenance. sure. of SYM
pathy and consolation?
1t is not fancy sketch, this beau
tiful and benign face: it is portrait
from life, the reproduced features
of a warm, pulsing, radiant girl,
whose mother was well-known
southern beauty.
The story runs like this: Anna
Willis was the daughter Of q
wealthy southern slave owner and
married Henry Williams Of Phila-
delphia in the good old days before
the war. Unfortunately for the
young couple, DR.. Willis, the girls
father, lost his fortune and could
not "set them up" in the style to
which she had been reared. This.
however. did not interfere with the
happiness of the two, who settled In
Philadelphia and eventually reared
family of nine children. During
these years Henry Williams made
and lost I fortune, so that his wife,
at his death, found herself plunged
again into poverty. The last child,
named Anna Willis Williams, was
born about the opening of the Civil
War. What trials and privations
the mother underwent to educate
and provide for her fatherless chill
dren will never be known. But 1t
is certain that Anna Willis, bud
ding into exquisite womanhood, had
none of the Injuries of life. So Sc
rene and beautiful was her face that
everywhere she went people turned
! to look at her.
One day the head of the treasury
department sent for a designer
named George Morgan and commits
stoned him to design the stamps for
the new silver dollar that was soon
to be issued. The stamp for one
side was quickly made, but Morgan
hunted long and diligently for 9
face fair enough to adorn the othel
side. One day fellow artist intro
duced him to Anna Willis Williams
and Immediately he knew that hi
search was ended, for here was tn
exact type of face he wanted. Anna
was persuaded to serve as his model
