COSMOPOLiTAN'S CANNOT
PRODUCE ENOUGH COPIES

Certainly Ccsmopoiition has out
FAMED the other magazines in Its field.
While most magazine publishers have
become so frightened ai the high cost
and scarcity of print paper, that they
have reduced the contents of their
publications, Cosmopolitan has in
creased it's size and contents fifty per
cent. This increased value to the
reader is to stand permanently.
The result Of this action is that the
production capacity Of the presses

enough to print enough copies to fill

hat they will reach all newsstands on

This tremendous Increased demand
N such a short time is evidence as to
how quickly the public catches on
to an exceptional value, just as the
contrary would be proven, II such an
increased demand for Cosmopolitan

Out in Pennsylvania a company has
erected a plant for the extraction of

wells. The wells are small, the total
production being less than million
cubic feet day, but they have been
producing for long time and as the
gas comes from sand 100 feet in
thickness their life is said to be good
for an indefinite time. The gasoline
company puts the gas through it's COM
pressors and then sells it to large
glass factory near by, the taking out
of the gasoline not injuring the gas
in any way for fuel. The gas Is put

LOOK FOR POULTRY DISEASE
Watch for Colds, Roup and Similar
Troubles Among Flock May
Prevent Serious Outbreak.

The habit Of visiting tie poultry
house after the birds have gone tc
roost during the winter months is a
good one. After the water vessels
have been emptied, it is a good plan
to see that the curtains are down and
everything is in shape for the night.
If the grain feed for the following
morning is scattered in the litter the
birds will be busy and active as soon
as they come off the roosts. This is
far better for them than standing
round an hour or so in the cold morn-
ing air waiting for their feed. Before
leaving the house listen carefully for
wheeling or heavy breathing. This Is

similar diseases, and if detected in

not plants or may be applied to beds
or between rows of growing plants.
Sodium nitrate is a product taken
from the Chile nitrate beds of South
America. The commercial form that
is used as fertilizer is in crystals and
looks like epson salts or coarse table
salt. 1t is quickly soluble in water
and it's effect upon plants can be
seen three or four days after it is ap-
piled. Plants that need nitrogen when
nitrate of soda is applied soon turn
from a pale yellow to dark rich
green.
Two or three applications may be
made to such plants as tomatoes, peas
cabbage, etc. If used this way the ap
plications should be made week or
ten days apart, beginning after the
plants are up.

pIOpyrlgnt, 1916. py w. ". Cndp1ua11'|
Miss Nan Keller concealed a very
warm heart beneath her prim exterior.
Nan was afflicted that way. In all her
four years at the hospital she had
never succeeded in endearing herself
to anybody. And, like most shy peo-
pie, she craved sympathy, which she
seemed destined never to get.
She got it-sometimes- the
house surgeon. Charlie Abbott had
been two years in the General hospital
and he was to leave in June, to take
over his fathers practice. He had
adored Miss Nan from the moment he
first saw her-sometimes Sometimes
she seemed to him like an animated
automaton. When his sympathetic
approaches were coldly repealed he
hated Miss Nan. What right had
girl to have face like that, and won
derful red-brown hair, if she had a
heart like all icicle?
Miss Nan, although her woman's in
tuition told her that the house surgeon
liked her, trusted rather to her brain,
which asked her how she could be
sure. Wasn't it her impulsive heart,
asked the brain, that read into Charles
Abbott's actions sentiments which
were not there? Then Miss Nan would
freeze up hard and Charlie Abbott
would call himself double-dyed fool.
AS, for instance, on the evening
when they found themselves off duty
at the same hour, and he asked per-
mission to take her home in his car.

PREVENT MOTH INJURY
POTATO Insect Has Become Sen'
Gus Pest in Many Sections.
e.veral Methods Must Be Employed
to Control Work-First Measure
Consists in Maintenance OF
Clean Cultivation.
INV r. II. CHITTENDEN.)


The potato-tuber moth, an insect
which has become a serious pest IN
manv sections, is a difficult insect to
control by any single method. 1t IS
not possible to reach the tuber worms
In their mines in the potatoes or IN
the stalks or tubers while growing IL
the field, which makes it necessary TO
proceed against the pest by other
methods. OF these several must be
employed to insure success.
The first measure consists in the
maintenance of clean methods of cul"
tivation. This means that all infested
potato plants and weeds must be de-
stroyed. This can be done by prompt
burning as soon as insect infestation
is manifest. The burning of these
weeds will destroy the breeding and
alternating places of the insects. DO
nestle animals, such as sheep and
hogs, are valuable for the destruction
Of remnants and may be utilized by
merely turning them into the field.
AS in nScst other cases Of insect
injury, crop rotation is desirable
where possible, and the cooperation
of all potato growers of the neighbor'
hood is practically necessity. There
are several alternate food crops which
do not suffer greatly from this insect.
About the best of these are beans,
peas, cowpeas, alfalfa and clover.
These possess a dual value, as they
all act as soil restorers. Care in dig
ging potatoes is advisable in order not
to cut into the tuber or leave the dug

She had got the babies mixed.
She looked hopelessly about the

where she had placed them. She
stared with horror into the probation

she had done, but she could only see,
in her minds eye, the features OF
Charlie Abbott, and they seemed to
wear a sarcastic smile. She, who had
snubbed him, she, the competent and
self-contained one, had mixed the ba-
bies.
She thought of the mothers, doomed
to go through life with the wrong
babies. She thought Of pauper babies
growing up to be milliOnaires, and
heirs to vast estates doomed to life III

baby growing up among puzzled white
folk, and white baby fondled in a
negro cabin by a proud foster father

She did not know where she was
going, but it was to be somewhere
miles away from the hospital, which
she would never see again, and she
meant to get there in a very short
