DIXON WARNS
Extreme Care Should Be Used
in Preparing Vegetables
and Fruit Eaten Raw.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 1.-Vege-
tables and fruits that are eaten raw
should be thoroughly washed before
being served, warns Or. Samuel G..
Dixon, state commissioner Of health,
in his weekly health letter. Produce
he declares, passes through many
hands that belong to all sorts Of peo-
pie,
II is frequently paved over by pros
pectivc purchasers. Besides, great
deal OF it is exposed for sale without
being properly protected from dust
and dirt, Doctor Dixon says;
Raw Produce Needs Washing.
During the hot weather fruits and
vegetables are a necessary part Of the
diet. Many of these are more appetite
ing when eaten raw. Berries, rad
ishes, onions and salads appear regu-
larly on the menu at this season and
have their value as food.
Care should be exercised in the
preparation and serving Of green foods,
however, as they are subject to much
handling between the garden and the
table. Unless the hands through
which they pass are absolutely clean
they are more or less contaminated.
In many market gardens the gather
ing of the produce is intrusted to a
class Of labor which is not any too
clearly and care is seldom exercised
to insure cleanliness,

tie Black Man-Later Hears
the Call of the Wild.

NEW YORK, July l.-0ta Benga,
the African pygmy, who was trans
planted from the tropical jungle to
American civilization, is dead by his
own hand.
Ten years ago Ota Benga was
brought to the United States by Pro
lessor Samuel f. Werner, an African
explorer, and attracted wide atten-
ton. For a time he refused to re-
turn to his native jungle when the
opportunity to do so was offered to
him. When this opportunity was
gone and he was surrounded by all
the evidences of civilized life, the
call of the wild came to him. 1t

longing for the wild tribes of his
youth and the wilder life of the heart
OF Africa. OTTO Benga, disguised with
1.-THE white mans magic" crawled
into q stable in Lynchburg, Va, and
sent a bullet through his brain
Ota Ijenga tried to cross the broad
chasm which separates barbarism
from civilization. He had the de-
sire for greater, better things than
those that he knew in his childhood.
American civilization taught him
how little he knew of those things
which civilization and Christianity
call great. Because he could not
master them to his content-be-
cause he could not down the primor-
dial instincts which were his natur-
al heritage-Ota Benga thought life
and effort a failure and would have
no more to do with them.
Ota Benga was about thirty-three
wears old. When in New York Zoo
logical Park ten years ago he was
four feet and eleven inches tall and
weighed 1903 pounds. Professor
Werner had found him captive
among a tannibal tribe in tropical
Africa and rescued him. He begged
to come to the United States with
Professor Werner and in 1906 he
reached New York City, Later he
entered the Howard Colored Orphan
Asylum in Brooklyn and from there
he was sent to Virginia, where in re-
cent years he earned his living by
working in a tobacco factory and by
day labor. While in New York city
he acquired a small English vocabu-
larry and learned to count small coins,
but in time his benefactor became
convinced that he did not possess the
power of learning.

ALCOHOL
Is Used as a Fuel in Some of
the Prohibition Towns in
Canada.

WINNIPEG, July lin view Of the
fact that the western provinces have
adopted prohibition, the question ma
turally arises as to what will become
of some Of the extensive breweries and
distilIing plants in Canada. A former
principal Of Regina College suggests
that these plants be equipped for the
manufacture of COMMERCIAL alcohol.
The project is put forward by one who
is by profession an analytical chemist,
and has given much thought to the
possible uses to which these plants
might be put after prohibition becomes
effective. He has also suggested vine

cold storage,

states that the worlds supply OF gaso-

therefore, with the increase use Of the

DON'T LET BABY PUT
THUMB IN ITS MOUTH
Will Spoil the Shape Of Infants
Mouth and Jaws, Say
Experts.

1t is very seldom that we see a
straight, well-formed mouth Some
times it is spoiled by protrudtng
teeth, sometimes by a large over
hanging upper jaw. generally we
find the upper lip much larger than
the lower, according to Popular
Science Monthly
This is not, as might at first be
supposed characteristic of the
American people just as fiat noses are
characteristic of the negro race, 1t
is due to one of the most unfortu-
nate habits that can be formed in
childhood the sucking of the
thumb.
The bones of baby's jaw are ex-
tremely plastic, and subject to almost
any amount of deCormity by long
continued impact and strain. If even
as soft an object as a thumb is placed
in the mouth for any length Of time
the inevitable result will be that the
upper jaw and teeth will be pushed
out of place.
MANY InOlllPIS Hlt d"hIt VI wv
danger in making such habit. and
they resort to what they think is the
next best thing-which is in reality
the next worst thIng-the pacifier.
Imagine a bit of hard rubber and
ivory in a chIld's mouth during all
its waking hours and many times its
sleeping ones. It. is nothing more
nor less than an instrument which
rapidly and skillfully disloCates the
teeth and the jaws.
A child should not be permitted
to carry any object In Its mouth
aside from the rubber nipple of its
bottle, and even here care should
be taken to see that is removed very
promptly after feeding is over,
1t is not easy to prevent the baby
from putting its fingers into its
mouth, as this is more or less of a
natural inclination.
In rare extreme cases it is neces-
sary to tie the hands. Many par
ents put a bitter solution on the fin
gers which is sufficiently distasteful
to break up the practice, but this is
a doubtful procedure and one to re-
sort to only by the advice of a ply
sician.

AUTHOR SAYS
It IS EASY TO
WRITE NOVEL
Nicholson Advises Writers to
Stick to Real Life in Their
Writings.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 1.-The author
Of "The House of Thousand Candles
advises would-be writer's to stick to
real life-American life-in their fc-
ton writings. He stated that there
is no excuse for trying to give the
French or Russian twist to American
ficion, and deplored the work of the
author who would stoop to such a
thing. American life, he said. is clean
throughout and needs no apologies.
But when we get to real life and
down to brass lacks we find that young
women are not always beautiful nor
young men handsome" Mr. Nicholson
said. Some day | am going to write
story about young woman who is
not beautiful.
I'VE all like love story, and most
Of the great novels are love stories.

that il the young woman throws her
self into the arms of the young man
at once it kills the story. That could
be told on the first page. Let the angry
father keep them apart Abuse the
father. He is always abused anyway.

have him slam the door in the young
mans face. But don't fail 10 have the
end happy.
1.-THE American authors excel in the
short stories. In these the main line
Of Interest develops fast and is quickly
over. In the novel you must have a
variety Of characters and multiplied
ton Of incident.
1.-THE novel OF adventure is a very
easy thing to do. Physical encounters,
when men shoot at each other, or
young men almost hurl each other off
the cliff, but not quite. am not
speaking in derIsion. have written
that type and may do so again.
Dumas and Scott had great deal Of

Truth is the most essential thing in
the novel. The most dangerous thing

clean life and we don't achieve any
purpose by copying the French and
Russian styles"
MIR. Nicholson advised reading in lieu
of a college education for those who
couldn't get the latter. lie said he
left school when he was Is years old.
When he was one year older It occur
red to him that he didn't know any
thing, he said. He then studied short

GARNER Wealth
FROM A MARINE
PLANT IN WEST
KeIp Turned into Potash That
is Now Selling for
$500 a Ton.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Two
neighbors on the coast OF California
met.
Where are you going this morn
ing with your moving machine?"
was the question casually asked by
the one ashore.
About two miles out to sea to
cut fertilizer. Potash Is worth $500
ton now" was the answer given
in a manner-of-fact tone.
And the one was not crazy, nor
the other joking, as the moving
machine" steamed away from the
shore on the long swell Of the Pa
cinc ocean.
1t was only an outfit, says the Star,
on its way to the kelp groves for a
load of that remarkable marine plant
which will, the department Of agrl-
culture predicts, furnish an inexhaus-
tible supply Of potash.
The harvesting crew consists Of
several men on couple Of scows
and they gather about 100 tons Of
kelp a day.
THE European war;" said DR.. j..
w. Turrentine, chemical engineer Of
the department of agriculture, has
cut off almost everything which the
United States was importing from the
middle empires, and as it depended
exclusively upon Germany for its sup
ply of potash for all purposes, in
GLIDING the production of artificial
fertilizers, considerable embarrass-
mcnt much more than is generally
realized, has resulted. Intensive
farming, which is becoming each
year more important TO the success
full agriculturist, cannot be had with
out potash, and its former price, $40
ton, has now advanced to $500.
THE annual importation prior to
1914 of the then low-priced substance
had been about 100000 tons, requlr-
ing the payment of about 100000
American dollars to the Kali-Syndi-
kat, Of potash trust of Germany. Even
before the war efforts were made to
find in this country supplies Of pot
ash satisfactory in quality and in cost
Of production to be of economic val
ne. Since the war the necessity of
meeting the demand has speeded up
these efforts, with promising re-
suits.
There is growing recognition by
people generally, Of the value to
nation of governmental aid to the In
dustrial and farming interest, and in
this country, the departments of the
interior agriculture and commerce
find 1t we'll within their provinces to
search diligently and to publish the
results, so that individuals and capt.
talists may make the most of natural
resources. Incidentally, this is based
upon sound economics and is the
foundation of natural preparedness.
Thus if the department OF agri-
culture can find a way to take potash
out of the sea or the land at low
cost, it is developing a $4,000, 900
business and preparing the country,
in case Of need, to support itself in
dependently Of other nations and
some fine day 1t may require these re-
sources for its own protection and
support. In its search for potash, the
department of agriculture has sent
exploration parties to the sites of
old salt lakes in the deserts. hoping
to find potash mines, such as the Ger
mans have.

When women win in domestic arts

social equality with their employers
they hold, for instance, in stenOgraphy,
the servant problem will be solved for
all time. Women are more interested

diion and make such condition in

Willingly and freely,
Unless there can come collective
bargaining between the mistresses on
one side and the maids and cooks on
the other, or a recognition of the
situation by the mistresses themselves,
the home will be decadent in the near

some change occurs
Miss Snow said persons employed in
household economics should be allow

night, as are professional workers.
1T is long road, realize, said
Miss Snow, land It will be discour-

son employed in household duties
must do a thing that would be de-

THE girl simply will refuse to work
