Remedies for "chIaners."

If bath in hot water. or in water containing salt or strong soap. is ta- ken within a few hours after expos ure in shrubbery and weeds infested with "chiggers." or "red bugs" no i'll effects will be experienced After long exposure, however, bath has practically no effect, and direct reme- dies are necessary.
 After irritation has set in, and small red spots appear, the application of q moderately strong solution of ammo nia to the affected parts is recommend ed by the department of agricultures entomologists. supersaturated so- lution of bicarbonate of soda, or com mon cooking soda or saleratus, will af- ford relief. Liberal applications should be made until the irritation subsidies. If the suffering is severe a dilute tinc- ture of iodine or collodon should be lightly applied

Method of loeatina Guns.

Science has discovered that gun fire affects the earth's surface much |. as an earthquake. so it is not surpris=S ing to learn that guns are being le- cated by the seismograph-the deli cate little instrument which records terrestrial tfemors. An Austrian au- therity on the subject of earthquake disturbances announces that the seis- mograph can record the position of hostile artillery as well as the ealiber of the guns.
 In q fairly recent engagement be tween Italian and Austrian troops on the IsonZo, the tremers induced hy the heavy eanHonade were duly registered by the apparatus, and the operator was able to detect, by means of dia- grams of artificial movements of the ground, the difference between the shocks produced by the fall of projee- tiles and those caused by the recoil of the guns. Moreover. the form of the traeings revealed to the practiced eye the number as we'll as the caliber of the latter.-Popular Science Monthly.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricultural
 There is grave danger, say special ists in the United States department of agriculture. that all the white pine for ests in the country may be seriously injured by the spread of the white pine blister rust. This disease is now known to exist in New Hampshire, Yer mont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania. Owners of white pine in every state, however, are urged to be on the lookout for it.
 The disease has caused enormous loss in Europe. whence it was brought into the United States, and if it is not controlled there is every reason to be- lieve that it will cause proportionate damage here. Trees which have been attacked by it do not recover. The younger ones die. In the case of older growth, parts only may be killed but in the course of time the damage ire quently becomes so extensive that the tree, even if it still lives, is worthless. As the value of white and sugar pine in this country is estimated at approXi- mately $426, 100000, the importance of checking the spread of the disease is obvious.
 The white pine blister rust is caused by fungus somewhat similar to the fungi which are responsible for wheat rust and cedar apple rust. This fungus attacks pines that bear their needles in punches of five each, q classification which includes twelve native varieties and nine imported ones. In addition to these species, both wild and cultivated entrants and gooseberries are not only susceptible to the disease but are es- sential to it's spread. The complicated part which these plants play in the dis semnation of the rust is explained in q new publication of the department, Farmers Bulletin 742.
 In this bulletin, too, the characteris- tie symptoms of the disease are de scribed with illustrations. The easiest for the ordinary tree owner to detect are the irregular swellingS in the bark which may appear at any time from q few months to six years after infec- ton. In the spring the fruiting bodies of the parasites thrust themselves from within through the swollen bark and form whitish bIisters as large as a childs finger nail. After few days the blisterS break and disclose bright yellow dusty spores, which are blown about by the wind. In order to per petuate themselves these spores must alight on the leaves of entrants or

Increase in Fairgrounds.

Neighborhood playgrounds under the direction of play leaders are being maintained in 432 cities in the United States, according to the annual report of the Playground and Recreation As sociation of America. The number of new playgrounds opened during the year was 1000, bringing the total to 3,294. More than one hundred cities employed 1,053 play leaders through out the year.
 In 250 cities playgrounds like parks and schools are administered by the municipality itself. Seventy cities maintained classes for training recre- ation workers. Last year the expendi- lures were $4,066,357. Bond issues in IT cities amounted to $1 1,663,750. In 49 cities neighborhood playgrounds have been donated by private individuals.

of sugar has no doubt been the cause of most of our poor jellies.
 A given volume of juice which con tains q certain amount of pectin can use definite proportion of sugar only. Currants and partly ripened grapes are rich in pectin, and are fairly acid so that they usually danand equal measures. while three-feurths to one will be the proper proportion for rasp- berries and blackberrieS. Much de- pends upon the fruit itself.
 N hen II Is necessary to add water to fruits boil the juice until it Is by appearance and taste ready for the addition of sugar.
 After the winters supply of grape juice has been made, cover the pulp with water and use for jelly or a good marmalade may be made from this by product.
 The more thoroughly the juice is clarified by skimming before the sugar Is added the better from an economical standpoint.
 Sugar Is heated before adding to  the juice to save time in the cooking process.
 By using sour apple juice with fruits too sweet, or lacking in pectin a most palatable article may be prepared.
 The hest quick test for time to re move jelly is when the jelly breaks off as a portion of if is dropped from the spoon. The time=honored one of cooling a little in saucer is not a safe one, for many things may hap pen to the hot jelly waiting on the stove Time is too precious at this stage 10 waste it in long experiments.

and faithful watcher of the oven. A perfect cake must have fine delicate texture, very tender and free from any suggestion of sogginess, yet moist. IL must be light as feather, and of good flavor, good to look it and more deit- cious to the taste. With all these qualifications It is certainly an art to produce perfect cake; it takes Il delft hand with careful attention to detail. The fame of good cook was not earned by making good cakes. for it is more desirable accomplishment to be able to hroil steak, properly cook an egg or prepare piece of toast, or highest of all make standard loaf of bread.
 Some of the main points to observe in making cake t will be profitable to dwell upon. Have all of the ingredi ents ready as well as the utensils be- fore starting in, because at the critical moment something vital may be lack ing which will spoil the result. Have the butter. if used, soft, not melted, but so soft that 1t quickly creams; add the sugar gradually, mixing 1t we'll !; have extra eggs so that if there should be q stale one you need not leave to get another. Break all eggs In small dish one at time so that no acci- dent such as putting bad egg into | dish with several good ones. occurs.
 Make sure that the oven is ready by the time the cake k ready for It. The success of a cake depends largely upon it's baking. One may put care into the mixing and making of cake and ruin il by careless attention to it when 1t is in the oven. Cakes that contain a large amount of eggs. espe- eially whites stihiy beaten. should bake in a slow oven. Cakes that con tain fruit and molasseS shoald also bake in slow oven. Cakes that re- quire slow cooking are best baked in sheet iron or heavy tin as they are better protected from the direct heat.
 Spice Cakes.-Beat an egg. add two thirds of cupful of molasses. two thirds of cupful Of sugar. two-thirds of a cupful O. soft butter. and two and one-half cupfuls of four and a cupful of milk; two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and two-thirds of a

No matter how convenient the elee- trie lamp in one of it's many attractive forms, may be, there are many of us who find the candle of our grandmoth- CTS day 100 fascinating to discard.

Do We love to dweI on the thought that candles have lighted the revelries of Versailles. the religion eerpmenials of medieval churches, the early White House balls, the New Eng land homestead and the southern plan tation in all their comfortable homeli- ness?

GOV. J. A. A. BURNQUIST.

The withdrawal of James A. Pet
erson from the field of Republican
candidates for governor, although it
still leaves Messrs. Lindbergh and
Iverson in the field, without reflec-
ton on these two men, means that
Governor J. A. A. Burnquist will be
the next nominee of his party at the
primaries.
Governor Burnquist measures up to
the full responsibilities of the office.
Mr.. Peterson's statement in with
drawing from the race is as fol-
lows:
Although I have not announced my
candidacy for the Republican NOM
ination for governor at the next pri-
mary, it was generally understood
throughout the state that I intended
to be such candidate. The most i'm
portant thing to be accomplished in
the state of Minnesota and the nation
during this year is to reunite the
Republican party and gain control
of the state and national govern
ments. In order to do that we must
place party and state patriotism
above personal considerations.
The sad removal by death of our
late Governor Hammond has made
Mr.. Burnquist, Republican, governor
of the state. Mr.. Burnquist is man
against whose record nobody can take
any exception. 1t is true he is a
young man, but Mr.. Burnquist has
ability, integrity and competency,
and I can see no reason why the Re-
publicans of the state should not rally
around him as the next Republican
candidate for governor. What all
true and loyal Republicans want is
harmony and a good candidate. Mr.
Burnquist's nomination will furnish
both.
I want to say to my loyal friends
throughout the state that I appreciate
very much their efforts in my behalf
and I thank them for the good will
they have showed towards me.
Nevertheless, I feel it my duty to
come out at this time and declare
that I shall support Mr.. Burnquist
for nomination and election and do
all in my power to see that the Re-
publican party is victorious, both in
the state and the nation. I sincerely
hope that the Republicans through
out the state will see this in the same
light that I do.

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
