fact that there are more clothes clos

HOW TO HANDLE FRUIT
Care Must Be Exercised In Pick
ing and Packing Apples.
Apples Are Very Easily Bruised,
Thereby Presenting unattraetIve
Appearance-Always Watch
Markets In Selling.

Few people realize the Importance of
handling apples with care while pick
ing, packing and marketing. Apples
are bruised very easily and especially
those varieties having a tender flesh
or skin. Bruises mean not only an un-
attractive appearance, but real waste
Of fruit by having to cut out the
bruised tissue. Probably the greatest
damage from bruises, however. results
from the fact that the bruises furnish
an entrance for fungus or rot spores.
These spores, or fungus Seeds" are
as fine as dust and float in the air. If
they happen to lodge on bruised or
broken spot on the apple, they take
root and grow and spread through
the apple, causing 1t to rot. Wrapping
or covering the apple may not always
protect it, as the spores may have
lodged on the apple before it was
picked. However, II the skin and flesh
of the apple can be kept intact and
not bruised or broken, there is not
much danger Of the fungus or rot find
ing its way into the apple.
To prevent bruising, apples should
not be dropped or thrown into
bucket, box or barrel, and in pouring
from one vessel to another care should
be taken that the apples are as close
as possible to the bottom of the vessel
in which you are placing them before
the pouring begins. II pail lie used
to pick in, it should be small enough
to lower into the boxes and, even then.
holding back the apples with the
hands is a good idea, as It breaks the
fall and lessons the bruising. No apple
which falls from the tree should be
allowed to go into the first grade ap-
pies.
First-class fruit in first-class shape
will probably develop an inquiry for
more of the same kind.
There is almost as much in the
selling Of apples as in the growing.

bedrooms and bathroom upstairs make
guest rooms. or, In case Of necessity
they are rightly arranged for renting
purposes.
As the average American family
consists Of but four members this plan
will be appreciated by thrifty persons
who are skimping to pay for their
home.
The manner in which the stairway
is built is worthy Of special considera-
ton. A space Of four and a half feet
in width by thirteen and a half feet in
length is sufficient to contain both the
cellar stair and the stairway to the
second floor.
The same principle Of economy Of
space applies to the arrangement of
both the lower and upper Railways.
In fact, 1t would be difficult to point
to any waste floor space on either
floor except where the low roof inter
feres on the upper floor

There is no better time of the year
than now TO Gull out your poultry flock
and sell all surplus fowls. II more
care we're taken to keep only desir-
able and productive fowls in the poul-
try flock, the increase in the amount
OF eggs produced would be hard to es-
innate. Hens that are in their
second season should be disposed
Of as soon as they stop laying,
and before they drop into the mott.
Now is the time OF the year when good
fat fowls bring good fat prices. Also
all cocks that have outlived their use
fulness should be got rid of. Even
though not worth q great deal, II il
better to sell them than to keep them
through the winter. Keep only the
very best Of the old stock; hens that
have been good layers and cocks that
you are sure are good stock getters,
must all be kept.
Besides the old fowls there are also
some new ones to be got rid Of.

signs of good layer are a general

egg production would be enormous.

It is a low-cost bungalow because
the work Ia all straight and there are

The floor plans as shown n the two
diagrams are especially interesting
because the bungalow contains FIVE
bedrooms besides the necessary living
rooms. This is accounted for by max
ing use Of the large attic to secure
three bedrooms and an extra bath

OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT.


The days Of the teapot depository
for money have passed, or are rapidly
passing away, and the provincial
stocking is no longer considered seri-
ously.
Comparatively few financiers or
business men carry more than few
dollars in their pocketbooks or at
home. and they seldom, II ever, pay
bin except by bank check.
The millionaire and the man OF ex-
tensive business do not often see or
handle more than a few hundred dol.
lars in bills a year.
Comparatively few wholesale bust
ness houses carry In their money
drawers or safes more than hundred
dollars at a time, except on pay days.
National banks and trust companies
have become the repositories for cash.
and practically all of the business of
the world. today, is done by check and
draft.
Bills have little circulation except
for small transactions or in the re-
tail stores and for pay rolls. Even in
the last named case many employees
receive their weekly or monthly wages
or salary by check.
Even when national banks and trust
companies fail, the depositors seldom
suffer any loss, because they are pre-
ferred creditors.
All banks of deposit are subject to
examination b. the United States gov
eminent or their state governments,
and most of them are conservative,
few of them taking speculative
chances in the investment Of their
money. At any rate. money deposited
in national bank or trust company
is far safer than that carried on the
person or in the bureau drawer.
Nearly all the national banks and
trust companies pay from Ia to 2
per cent interest on daily balances Of
sums from $500 to $500.
should advise every young man
and every young woman in business
to open an account In some national
bank or trust company. II you have
any doubts as to the standing Of the
bank. ask the advice of two or three
leading merchants, who are likely to
know the reputation Of all financial
institutions within their city or town.
The advantages Of carrying a de-
post subject to check are:
l. Your money is safe.
2. II gives you ready money with
out the danger OF loss.
8. You can pay your bills by check.
which is the better way. as the check
in itself is receipt.
1. It assists In establishing your
credit.
s. Acquaintance with bank officials
is always advantageous. They are the
most acceptable OF references
Savings bank deposits are not sub
jet to check, and cannot be used for
the payment of bills. Some savings
banks require a notice OF withdrawal,
although the majority Of banks waive
this right.
The savings bank is for the laying
away Of money. while the national
bank and trust company should be
used as convenience.
Most national banks and trust COM
panies will open an account for q
sum as low as 5000 or $500. and some
will accept even 500.

communion affair when compared
with some house kitchens, but 1t is so
compact and SO thoroughly well ar
ranged that the small size really is an
advantage, because 1t saves steps.
The modern housekeeper does her
work quickly by the aid of modern
conveniences near at hand instead of
travelling back and forth a thousand
times to reach inaccessible places.
This little kitchen is lighted by four
windows and glass door which opens
on to a splendid rear porch. There is
an extra small door on this porch for
the benefit of the iceman or rather to
benefit the housekeepsr by keeping
the iceman out of the kitchen. A
splendid kitchen sink is placed in
front of the rear window and next to
the pantry for the purpose Of saving
steps at dishwashing time.
