FROG IN BABY'S STOMACH
Tadpole Grew and Wased Fat on the
Infants MIX Dlet-Child
10 Dead.

The eighteen.months.old child OF
Mrs. Harry Wolf OF Chicago Is dead.
following an operation which disclosed
conditions that many surgeons had de-
clared to be impossible, says a Goshen
Und.) dispatch TO the Indianapolis Star.
While visiting her parents in SYRIA
cuse, Kosciusko county, last summer,
Mrs. Wolf permitted the baby to drink
hydrant water. Within a short time
the infant became sickly and lost flesh.
Treatment for indigestion a given,
but 1t did not reach the seat OF the
trouble, Then an X.ray examination
disclosed Il black spot on the stomach,
and an operation resulted In a frog
weighing more than half u pound be-
lag taken from the infant.
Doctors who operated said they be-
licved that when the child drank by.
drant water in Syracuse "A tadpole was
taken into the stomach and that the
frog developed and lived on milk,
which was given the patient In large
quantities. Following the operation
the child improved rapidly and com.
plete recovery was practically assured,
when pneumonia developed. causing
death.

SHADE FOR THE FARM HOME
.91he

An abundance OF shade Is one of the
luNufies which every farm home can
"'.i should have. The city dwellcr Is
often a renter and must take things
as they are. Or II he owns a home,
the lot Is restricted In size, and large
trees are an impossibiiity. But on
the farm land for n commodious yard
should always be reserved.
Those having q grand old elm.
maple. or oak to begin with. are for.
tunate. indeed. but the idea that
trees planted now of these species will
DO a comfort only to succeeding gen.
erations is quite n mistake.
Most OF tho naples. and especially
the sugar and red naples are OF rapid
growth, and at n few years at most
will give an abundance OF shade.
no not make the mistake OF using
fruit or nut trees In the yard. Both
make n litter ut certain seasons. which
renders them n sort of nuisance en-.
tirely unnecessary. II you had no
room for an orchard IL would be a
different matter. You want tne yard
for solid comfort. and o AZ u crop
producer.
Because the city man uses the
horse chestnut for shade, do not follow
his example. He does IL because this
tree Is low growing and compact-just
the thing where there Is little room
either on the ground ot in the air,
With your broad expansc n more as.
piring species should bs chosen. Be-
sides the burs are n nuisance.
There is nothing better on the farm
lawn than native trees. They thrive
admirably, and in every community

tree upon which insects were feeding
on sap running from an incision.
Persons OF wealth are now import.

An American woman, Mrs. Treat,
proved conclusively that leaves OF
certain plants could hear insects or
were conscious OF the nearness OF in
sects even when there was no con.
tact between the plant and the body
OF the insect, and demonstrated It by
pinning a live fly half al inch from q
leaf OF sundew. whereupon the heat
moved itself within the succeeding
two hours near enough TO fasten Its
tentacles upon the insect.
Possibly this was due to the sense
of smell, but the fact that the buzzing

hum would indicate that the n OF
hearing actuated this c~arnivorous
plant.

CHEER UP, SALMON
BERRIES ARE RIPI
(By A. B. CalIahan)


 Ripe and luscious, deep rcd and bright yellow. all the thickets along the channel and up into the hills, are hanging full of salmon berries, as Dlg as plums Salmon berries arc not good in pie. nor do they iell or jam, but to the epicure with taste un- spoiled by mustard and paprica, chiii scotch whiskey gin fizz. Tom and Jerry and Nigger Head Rum, the sal mon berry is pretty nearly if not quite the most delicious of all the berries.
 Sweetened with brown sugar over night and eaten with butternilk in- stead Of cream in the morning, che salmon berry tastes like more. It surpasses the raspberry and diminish es the strawberry. Loganberries and blackDerries. blue berries and goose berries are horticulture undesirables and the cranberry Is a drug to him who has the cultivated taste to ap- preclate the fruit which makes the black bear lat, grooms hia coat, tones his liver and tunes his tumtum.
 Some day fame will do tardy jus. tce to the salmon berry and the time will arrive when. throngs will come to Alaska just for that You don't believe it? Probably not. You'd have scorned the tomato and scoifed its future if you'd happened to have lived before more discriminating trenchermen discovered its virtue and authoritively proclaimed it
 Wherefore the salmon berries, crop of 1915. yellow as gold and red as roses, are dropping over ripe from Sheldon's ranch to Mendenhall, while conventional berry pickers are gathering the plebian blue berry, that has to be garnished with a crust and baked in m oven In order to be swallowed.
