WISE HOSTESS
Won Her Guests to Postum.

Three great coffee drinkers were
my old school friend and her two
daughters.
They we're always complaining and
taking medicine. determined to give
them Postum instead of coffee when
they visited me. SO without saying
anything to them about 1t, I made a
big pot Of Postum the first morning.
Before the meal was half over,
each one passed up her cup to be re-
filled, remarking how fine the coffee
was. The mother asked for a third
cup and inquired as to the brand of
coffee I used. didn't answer her
question just then, for l heard her say
while before that she didn't like Pos
tum unless 1t was more than half
coffee.
After breakfast told her that the
'coffee' she liked So we'll at breakfast
was pure Postum, and the reason she
liked 1t was because 1t was properly
made.
Il have been brought up from q
nervous, wretched invalid, to a fine
condition Of physical health by leav.
ing on coffee and using Postum.
Il am doing all I can to help the
world from coffee slavery to Postum
freedom. and have earned the graft.

This month the birds mate, and
many new ones come from the South.
This month the boys and girls wander
all over the woods and fields looking
for the bluets. the violets, hepaticas
and spring beauties.
This spring hope they will not pick
too many of our wild flowers. because
1t is feared that in time there will
not be many of our beautiful native
blossoms to gather.
They have been ruthlessly plucked
and thrown aside for SO many years
by thoughtless children that a great
many of the most beautiful and val
liable species have run out Of exist
ence.
In their walks in the woods this
spring it would be very interesting
to the boys and girls to take up the

many communities, It is now becoming
common for counties to adopt this
plan. In all engineering construction
1t IL customary to allow q certain per-
centage of the cost for engineering
and supervision. There Ia no reason
why highway building should be made
an exception to this rule. At least
five per cent of the bond issue may

supervision alone. Money spent to
hire q competent engineer to make pro

are issued and to plan and supervise

Need for Highway Engineers.
Highway plans for bond issues re-
quire expert skill and professional
service. Before the amount of bonds
is determined. a thorough study Of
the needs Of the county should be
made and careful maps Of the pro-
posed highway system should be pro
pared. The sum to be issued should
not be fixed until It Is reasonably
known what 1t will accomplish. II II
customary for many counties to ap-
point a commission of business men
under whose Jurisdiction the bond
money Is expended. In other cases
the county supervisor or county con-
missioner has the direction Of expendk

followed where such commissions or
county boards have secured tho serv-

FOE OF THE COLLEGES.

OF all the foes Of young manhood
on the American college campus, al.
cohol Is the most subtle and destruc.
tive. 1t is peculiarly fitting that the
American college student OF today,
wiser and better informed than his
predecessors. should give battle to his
ancient and merciless adversary. II
gravestones were placed on our col.
lege grounds to those slain in the flush
Of young manhood by intoxicating
drink. the acres of verdant lawn
around even our best institutions
would become vast cemeteries ghastly
with thick-strewn headstones. With q
devilish instinct for maximum destruc-
tiveness, this demon of the campus
seems to pick out for degradation the
gayest. the loveliest, the most talent
ed, and to REINFORCE his assault by en-.
listing the social and generous in.
stincts which constitute the very
charm Of youth. Opening always the
gate to passion and appetite. he is the
aggressive ally Of everything which
degrades college life, the promoter OF
tragedies innumerable on every cam.

ity, diligence and intellectual develop.

WHEN THE GROUND THAWS

AS soon as the ground thaws enough
to permit it, dig in the manure that
has been used to mulch the trees,
shrubs and plants. It is not wise to al
low a heating mulch to remain about
the roots or trunks, as it may cause
the bark to soften and permit the en-
trance of injurious spores.

Guide To Teaching Agriculture
Is Issued.

Elementary Vocational Agriculture for
Maryland Schools" the first textbook Of
its nature ever issued by an agricultural
COLLEGE, has been prepared by the States
Relations Service Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, in cooperation
with the Maryland Agricultural College
and the Maryland State Department of Pub
lie Education. 1t is designed to interest the
children of rural Maryland in the things
that are going on around them, and the
Maryland Agricultural College has arranged
to furnish it to the schools of the State at
cost.
The lessons in vocational agriculture
were outlined by E. A. Miller. specialist in
agricultural education with the States Re-
lations Service, under the direction Of c.
H. Lane. specialist in agricultural educa-
ton with the service. The techinal con-
tents, which have special reference to
Maryland conditions, were furnished by
the following professors of the Maryland
Agricultural College: W. T. L. Taliafero,
S. S. Buckley, J. B. S. Norton. Herman
Beckenstrater, j. E. Metzger, R. H. Ruffner,
E. N Cory. B. W. Anspon. c. o. Bruce,
Nicholas Schmitz. G. E. Wolcott, Roy H.
Waite. W. R. Ballard and Thomas H. White.
The lessons are outlined after a monthly
sequence plan and adapted to the seasonal.
agricultural and school conditions of Mary
land. By presenting lessons in the subject
of agriculture at the time the principles in
these lessons should be practiced on the
farms Of the community, two objects were
in views the vitalizing Of classroom work
by timely material at hand for practical
work. and the teaching of what is best to
do at the time it should be done.
Recognizing that the school conditions
of the State make impractible the giving
of more than two. and at the most three,
lessons in agriculture each week, the book
has been adapted to these conditions. The
work is arranged to cover the nine months
Of the school year. although suggestions
for actual management are also provided
for the months of June. July and August
The practical exercises suggested in the
book take the direction very largely of
club activities and home projects. 1t is
urged by the author that the teachers en-
phasize this phase of the work. Teach
ing agriculture and correlating it with
other subjects" Mr. Miller says, cannot be
made effective unless the pupil demon
strates the principles taught in some kind
of farm project and utilities the project
experiences in vitalizing the other subjects
in the school course
The correlation exercises set forth in con-
nection with each lesson are largely sug-
gestive. These are intended to indicate
how the teacher may take advantage of
the experiences and problems the pupils
meet in their club and project work
to give vitality to the subjects of English.
arithmetic, geography. history. drawing
and the like.
Although Elementary Vocational Agri-
culture for Maryland Schools" is primarily
an outline-to guide the teacher, and Sec
ondarily as a textbook for pupils, it has
q wealth Of information Of a very practi-
cal nature of value and interest to the
men and women on the farm as well.
