Electric Restaurant.

A large mining company has in
stalled an electric restaurant $50 yards
in from the soot of the shaft in one OF
its mines. Here food is cooked or
heated electrically, and hot coffee 10
prepared by the same means. Since
most of the important coal mines al
ready use electric power underground
for power purposes there should be
little .ifficulty in establishing subter-
ranean electric restaurants in any OF
them.

DISEASE HITS Pine
Blister Rust Threatens Big
Economic Loss.
Recent Outbreaks in Eastern States
Lead Federal Authorities to Issue
Warninq-comes in on I'M E:
ported Stock.

Washington, D. C.-The alarmiae
character of the white pine blister
rust and the economic loss which 1t
threatens in the northeastern and
western United States are sharply en-
phasized by four recent serious out
breaks on pine trees and currant
bushes in Massachusetts and Now
York, says the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. This disease
was introduced on imported white
pine nursery stock and first appeared
at Geneva, N. Y, in 1906.
In 1909 extensive importations OF
diseased white pine nursery stock
were located and destroyed in New
York and other eastern states. and
warnings were issued broadcast
against further importation OF white
pine from Europe. In spite Of these
warnings importation continued even
from the particular nursery in Cor
many which was definitely known to
be the main source of disease. until
finally in 1912 all such importation
was stopped by federal action.
The white pine blister rust affecu
the eastern white pine, the western
white pine, the sugar pine and indeed
all of the so.called five-leaf pines, pro
ducing cankers on the stems and
branches, killing young trees and
manning and distiguring old ones.
also produces a leaf disease of cur
rant and gooseberry bushes. The fun
gus causing the disease must live for
a part of its life on pine trees and
part of it's life on currants and goose
berries. The disease cannot spread
from one pine tree to another. buf
must pass first to currant bushes and
then back to pine.
In Europe the disease has made thu
culture of American white pine Ina
practicable in England, Denmark ano
Holland, and has seriously handt
capped its cultivation in Germany.
Since the trees which it attacks in
clude those of the most important
timber trees of the United States. the
loss which this disease will produce
II unchecked is very great. Fortu'
nately the disease is not now known
to be present west of Buffalo, N. Y.
but IL it Is not checked in the
eastern states it's ultimate spread to
the vast forests of the Rocky noun.
tains and the Pacific coast is certain
The disease now occurs in three 10
calities in New Hampshire. two in
Vermont, ten in Massachusetts. two
in Connecticut. five in New York. one
In Pennsylvania and three In Ontario,
Canada.
The disease could be controlled now
by the destruction of the diseased
white pines or the complete destruc
tion of all currant and gooseberry
bushes in the vicinity of infected pine
trees. Whether or not this simple &C
tion can be accomplished depends up
on the legal authority possessed by
the various state horticultural inspee
tors concerned. If the inspector il
not armed with authority to destroy
either currant bushes or the diseased
white pines without the consent Of
the owner. all efforts at control will be
unavailing, as single person by per
mitting diseased pines or currants t.
remain on his place can nullify tht

No Longer Menace to Humans.
Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied of recent years
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although It
is described in most medical text books
many physicians are not familiar with
it's symptoms, This ignorance of the
disease is the chief source of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the
last few years there is no reason why
It should be menace to human life.

COLD BATHS WARM THE BODY
Experiments at Harvard That Were
Made After Athletes Exercise
Show This.

Experiments conducted at the Har.
ward physiological laboratory show
that the baseball player, tennis player
or even the pedestrian, is not cooler
after the cold bath, which is expected
to lower his temperature. but that his
body is actually warmed by the
process.
Tho person on whom the data was
collected at Harvard exercised by rum
ming up and down stairs for a stated
period Of time, then reclined upon a
couch for six minutes. Then he arose
and a stream Of cold water was thrown
over his body for five minutes. At the
end Of that time he returned to the
couch for three minutes; then he again
enjoyed a cold bath. After that he
was permitted to rest upon the couch
for 80 minutes.
At all stages, from beginning to end
or the experiment, records were taken
on the temperature. Just before the
running commenced it was 1929 de-
grees Fahrenheit, before the first bath
99.41 degrees and after that 99.1 de.
grees. Then it arose during the next
three minutes to 1911 degrees. This
increased temperature was maintained
in spite of the second bath, and the
maximum, slightly exceeding this,
reached % minutes after the cessation
Of exercise. From that time there was
a gradual decrease, the minimum of
9S.1 degrees being reached about 20
minutes later.

Come on back to the office and every

had often wondered what sort of wom-
an Mrs. Benton was. She must see her,
spy out the land before she could 60
further.
Trick or no trick. therefore, Mrs.
Benton's letter afforded her opportun-
ity. She wrote pleasant acceptance
and set out in borrowed automobile
from the suburb in which she lived.
At seven o'clock precisely Hilda La
garde. gorgeously attired, was admit.
ted into the Benton apartment by q
neat servant. who respectfully took
her cloak and hat from her and pre-
ceded her along the hall toward q
closed door.
Hilda Lagarde was almost at the
door when she stopped aghast as &
shr1ll scream rang out from behind it.
How t.re you lay your hands on
me. you monster!"
I'll show you now! I've stood for
you long enough. Take that for a les
son!"
The terrified woman. rooted to the
doormat, heard the thud Of q mans
list upon a soft object. and then a
heavy fall. Faint means ensued.
Il told you what you'd get some day,
you jealous old cat!" Numbered Tom
Benton's voice. And If l have any
more trouble with you I'll do for you
once and for ALL"
You coward, to strike a woman, let
alone your wife! l know why you've
shaken me. You think you're going to
marry that peroxide blonde of yours.
You're too old for her, with your dyed
hair"
Too old, eh?" screamed Tom. 81
guess that don't matter. At least she
didn't seem to feel any objection when
kissed her yesterday That woman's
crazy over me and, what's more, she's
ten years younger than you are. Now
stop that squealing, or it will be worse
yet for you"
Hilda Lagarde staggered uncertain
ly toward the door of the apartment.
But the maid stood in the way.
i hope you won't be frightened,
miss" she said, in her quiet English
accent, as if the affair was nothing un-
usual. "The masters had a bad day
today and taken little too much. He'll
sober up very quick, miss"
"Oh. let me CO." sobbed Mrs. La
garde and, rushing past the maid, she
somehow found the door. Breathless.
ly she gained the street.
AS soon as the outer door closed the
maid ran into the dining room, where
Joe and Mildred stood, convulsed with
laughter. Joe tore of the maids apron
and Rugged her hard.
"You clever JENNY" he shouted, and
the two began to do q make round
the room.
BE careful Of the lamp, Joe," plead.
ed Mildred Benton, holding her sides.
"Oh. l wish you could have seen her
facet" said Jenny, gasping.
The sound of Toms key in the outer
door sobered them. He came in
briskly.
Hello, you folks! Glad to see you
ALI" he said. Mildred, dear!"
He kissed her fondly, and at that
moment Mildred Benton knew that the
latest platonic infatuation had become
dissipated even without her carrying
out of Joe's scheme.
"Milly, you look prettier every day."
said Tom. I'm as hungry as a bear.
Hurry up the dinner!"
