STOCKHOLM, May 10. - The Ger
man steamer Hera was sunk Wednes
day off Landsort, in the Baltic.
The sinking of the Hera marks the
first activity of British submarines in
the Baltic tlis season. The Hera left
Stockholm on Tuesday to take on a
cargo of 1000 tons of iron ore at
OXloesund. Her captain was ordered
on board the submarine with the
ship 5 papers and made prisoner. Sufi-
cient time was given to the crew to
leave the ship. Although the weather
was rough all on board were saved.
The report Of the submarine 5 ac-

How to Cook Vegetables and Conserve
Their Food Value.

How to Cook Vegetables and Conserve
Their Food Value.
It is important that vegetables should
be prepared and cooked in such a way
as to conserve all the available food
material and their mineral salts. The
portion Of the vegetable next to the
skin contains the greater quantity Of
mineral matter, protein. Carrots and
vegetable oysters should be scraped
Other vegetables should be pared az
thinly as possible.
When the liquid in which the vege-
tables are cooked is drained off it car.
ries with it much that is valuable, says
Good Health. AS far as possible this
shoulG he saved and used as the foun-
dation for soups and sauces.
Vegetables should be cooked only un-
til tender. Many vegetables develop a
strong and unpleasant flavor and arc
rendered less easily digested by over
cooking. This is especially true Of cab
bage, cauliflower, etc. When overlook
ed they also take on a reddish hue.
Strong favored vegetables, such as
onions, cabbage and turnips, should be
cooked uncovered.

ject one inch at the bottom to form
legs for the trap and leave, an en-.
trance for flies into the cone.
The cone for a trap of this size
should be % inches high and of such
diameter ut the bottom that it fits ex-
actly inside the lower hoop, to which
it should be tightly tackled. In max
ing the zone 1t is easiest to experiment
with a large sheet of stiff paper until
q cone of the right size has been made.
This paper when cut will be a pat
tern for cutting the wire screening. An
easy way to make this pattern is to
use a semicircle of paper with a radius
Of "a inches. It will take about two
thirds of such a semicircle to make
the pattern for a cone Of the size de-
scribed. >
Before inserting the cone, make a
small hole at the point or apex,
through which the flies can crawl into
the trap.
To bait the trap, place beneath the
cone on a fiat saucer or a piece Of
board banana skins, strip, meat or
other foods which seem to attract flies.
The flies will fly upward from the bait
into the one and continue until they

cage. To remove the flies from the
cage, scald them and pour them out
of the opening at the top.

FOR TREE PLANTING :

Select the kind Of a tree that will
grow best in your location. Choose .
variety from those already thriving in
your vicinity.
A ten to twelve foot tree is consider
ed the best size for ordinary planting.
It should be free from scars and pests.
The trunk should be straight. and It
should have a long leader.
When digging trees in the woods be
careful not to injure the roots. and re-
euro as many Of the hbrous one rs
possible. Nursery grown trees are
better because they have been trans
planted several times and have better
root systems.
Do not allow the roots to become
dry. Keep them moist and covered an
til you are ready to put them in the
ground.
Ragged ends Of broken roots should
be cut of with a sharp knife.

Plain serubbina.

A woman whose floors are of the
plain board order that call for much
scrubbing says:
1T has been my experience that in
washing plain board floors it is best
to scrub them with cool, soapy water
without suds. I scrub with the grain
Of the wood, and not around in circles,
as Is usually done, to take off the dirt.
If you do this and change the water
often, using plenty of soap, you will
be surprised how white the floor will
become.

CROPS THAT ROB THE FARM.

Farmer Must Manage 70 Restore Fer.
tiiity That Has Been Exhausted.
Prepared by United States department of
agr1culture.l
It is estimated that every ton Of COW.
pea hay taken from the farm the
manure Of which IL not returned to the
soil robs it Of 1886 worth Of fertility
II bought in the form Of commercial
fertilizer; b "tonaof cotton seed, $3.50;
IN acre Of corn producing fifty, bush
els. both stalk and grain, $10.56; the
grain alone, $685.; an acre Of oats pro
ducing thirty-five bushels removes in
the entire crop $11.83 and $4.72 for the
grain alone.
In many cases exhaustion Of the soil
By cropping has gone on until. the farm
responds reluctantly to the many
drafts made upon 1t. The farmer must
manage to restore this fertility. No
better method Of doing this can be
found than to keep enough stock on
the farm to utilize the pasturage Of
idle lands and much Of the surplus
grain and forage produced The stock
should be kept under sheds and in sta
bles when possible and an abundance
Of bedding furnished to absorb the
liquids as well as to add to the bulk of
the manure heap.
The roots and stubble Of crops al
ways restore something to the soil.
With such crops as clover, cowpeas or
beans approximately 80 per cent Of the
manurial value of the crop is kept in
the soil. When such crops are har-
vested for hay and fed to good farm
stock and the manure Is returned to
the land 80 to 80 per cent of the entire
fertilizing value is kept on the farm.
At the same time the full feeding
value Is obtained.
Farm manure should be handled
with great care. It should never be
left in the open yard or piled in the
field for any length of time, as much
Of it's plant food will be leached out.
Neither should it be stored loose un-
der sheds, but 1t should be packed
down and kept wet enough to prevent
heating, which would drive of nitro
gen. This tremendous loss from I'm
proper handling explains why farmers
find it necessary to 8 such large
quantities of manure to derive much
benefit from 1t. It will be observed
that even when manure is stored in a
shed there is loss. BY covering the
manure heap with substances like. Or
binary loan, sawdust or wheat straw
much loss may be prevented and the
stack of manure greatly increased.
Loan will absorb about thirteen
pounds Of nitrogen per ton Of 1000
pounds, sawdust about eight pounds
and wheat straw nearly four pounds.

The list of foods here shown has
been tested practically for about two
years. The nutr1tional results have
been excellent, a fact which indicates
better than any theoretical study would
do that the diet combines all the food
elements needed by the body.
If we could devise a plan for insur~
ing such a diet or it's equivalent to all
the poor people in this city we would
materially reduce u death rate. In
many instances of malnutrition en-
countered at the departments clinics
the fault is due to ignorance of what
constitutes a proper diet. The depart
ment Of health has been trying to
spread such knowledge for some time.
Certainly this list should prove inval-
liable to the housewife who is trying
to provide a wholesome diet at a very
limited cost.

BEAUTIFUL
TOWN AND CITY PLANNING
CONSIDERED At CONVENTION
Suggestions BY Bernard J. Newman Of
Philadelphia Housing Commission.

At tho convention Of the P~ennsylva-
mia Housing and Town Planning asso-
citation held in Reading recently there
were many suggestions in the address
delivered by Bernard ]. Newman OF
the Philadelphia housing commission
az to why q continuously growing city
or even q town whose population
counts up to only a few thousands,
needs plenty Of extra room. Cities de-
velop along two lines which, for men
tai, moral and physical wholesomeness,
should be kept separated.
The development Of a city in fts In
dustrial phases and features is init
mately connected with its growth in
homes or in the residential sections.
In arranging the layout Of a city or
big town, however, the ;intermingling
Of Industrial buildings and residential
buildings is to be avoided. That part
Of a city that stretches along a water
front Is naturally adapted to factories,
commercial warehouses and such, and
there must be spacings for traffic ap-
proaches, and, In short, the layout of
such a section should have regard en-
tirely to its adaptation to commercial
and industrial uses. It Is the same
with regard to those sections Of a city
that border the railroads. Such areas
should be planned upon a liberal scale
with regard to industrial ses
A territory that is likely to be occu-
pied by an urban population should be
under a city planning organization. It
should be laid of in advance with q
scientific regard for both its continuous
Industrial development and it's contin-
uous residential expansion. It is an
absurdity, almost a monstrosity, for
such an area to be under county gov
eminent, representatives of agricultural
interests. And such an r should
not develop at haphazard; every de-
tail Of its development should be plan
ned in advance.

TIP FOR MOTORISTS.
How to Remove Greasy Dirt From
Your Lily White Hands.

How to Remove Greasy Dirt From,
Your Lily White Hands.
The owner Of a car who cares for his
vehicle to a large extent generally
makes up his mind to having dirty
hands when some periodic and greasy
job falls due. There Is no real need
for this, as a little care beforehand will
obviate the retention of the greasy dirt
afterward. Before starting work on
a greasy piece Of machinery take cyl.
Under oil and rub it well into the skin.
After the work is done do not take the
CRIME of by rubbing the hands on
waste Or a cloth. Instead put on some
more cylinder oil or any light oil lib
orally, using it as you would soap and
water. When the oil has worked I'M
der the grease and cut it loose from
the skin wipe the hands thoroughly on
a piece of waste. When you have wip-
ed of the oil you will find that it has
taken the CRIME with it, leaving the
hands ready for a good wash with soap
and water. If the motorist will try a
tar soap for this final stage he will be
surprised at the results obtained. Ker-
osene, gasoline or washing powders
should not be used, as they harden the
skin and give it a tendency to crack.
When on the road the hands can be
made fairly presentable by using the
oil wash alone, leaving the soap and
water until reaching the destination.
This method Of keeping the hands in
shape is used by many Of the mechan-
les in big repair shops and in motorcar
factories. It is a particularly useful
tip Just at this time, when all the
cars in America are being run out Of
the garages for their seasons work,
most Of them by owners, who have no
decided preference for dirty hands.
