Oranoe Industry.

The interior of any one of the big
orange packing houses in either Flor
Ida or California shows wonderfully
systematic arrangement for grading
and sizing the fruit. There are a
dozen different sizes of oranges and
so automatic is the grading that every
box Of oranges comes out with every
orange almost the exact size of its
companions. The result is oranges
which sell in the far Eastern markets
as low as one cent apiece-from this
to 80 or 60 cents a dozen. The only
things which must be left to human
judgment is the throwing out of culls
imperfect, too ripe or too green
specimens.
Nowadays In both of the big orange
growing states the orange business is
divided into two distinct and separate
industries-that of orange growing
and that of orange packing and ship
ping. The latter is handled by CO.
operative associations and very few
oranges are packed and shipped direct
by the orange growers themselves.
The same conditions apply to lemons
and grapefruit.

Air Warriors Predicament.

An accident, without precedent in
warfare, occurred to French bomb
ing plane, and death was averted by a
feat of daring which will long be re-
membered. The airplane was about to
descend after a raid, when the pilot
discovered that two Of his bombs had
caught in the rigging below the car.
1t was impossible to land without ex-
ploding them and blowing the frail
craft to fragments. The gasoline was
already running low and some desper-
ate expedient must be attemptd within
the next two seconds. While the pilot
held his craft to an even keel the pas
senger crawled from his seat to the
wing and thence to the rigging below.
The bombs must be released with the
greatest delicacy to prevent their ex-
ploding. Impossible as the feat SEEM
ed, it was at last accomplished and
the passenger regained his seat in
safety.

Cheese Instead of Meat.

With meat at present prices, the
American housekeeper thinks hard when
told that cheese has about one and one
| half as much muscle-building value as
beef, pound for pound. She combines
cheese with milk and eggs and makes a
dish that rules out the roast, leaving
beef for the soldiers and the Allies.
Here are a few substantial cheese
dishes that may be served sometimes in
stead of meat. They call for any hard
commercial cheese or cottage cheese:
Cheese Roll-1-2 cup rice, l cup milk,
1 tablespoon chopped onion and parsley,
Sd cup grated cheese or cottage cheese,
1-2 cup mashed potato, pepper and salt
to taste.
Cook the rice in the milk with the
chopped onion and parsley, then add the
cheese mashed potato, pepper and salt.
Form into roll, brush with fat drppings
and brown in oven.
This roll can be made up with many
variations. Bread crumbs, beans and
cheese may be combined, using enough
of the liquor in which the beans were
cooked to molsten the mixture so that 1T
can be made into a loaf The beans
should be mashed Still another combi-
nation is made by substituting for the
beans spinach or chard chopped fine.
Cheese Fondue-1 cup milk, l cup
bread crumbs, cup grated cheese, IL
teaspoon salt
Boil the milk and pour over the bread
crumbs, cover and let stand on the stove
fifteen minutes. Mix in the grated
cheese and add salt and, if desired, lit
tie red pepper or paprika. Pour into
creased baking dish and bake twenty
minutes.
A richer dish may be made by adding
two or three eggs. Add the well-beaten
yolks, then fold in the whites beaten I'M
til stiff Bake 80 minutes in moderate
! oven and serve at once. This is really
souffle. Cooked rice may be used in
place of the bread crumbs in making this
dish.
| Cheese Sauce 1 cup milk, table
spoon cottage cheese or IA cup grated
cheese, 2 tablespoons flour, salt and pep
per.
Thicker the milk with the flour. just
before serving add the cheese, stirring
until it is melted. This sauce may be
used on hard boiled eggs, toast, cabbage,
cauliflower, macaroni or rice. Double
the quantity of cheese when it is to be
| eaten with macaroni or rice.

Made-in-Germany.

When the time comes that merchant
ships can again sail the seas in safety,
and the several thousand vessels flying
the German flag seek foreign shores
loaded to the guards with goods of Ger
man manufacture-why then should the
nations of the world buy the German ex-
ports? One surely cannot expect the
mothers in England, France, Australia,
and Canada to buy and wear garments
made by the very hands which dropped
bombs on the hospital in which lay their
wounded sonsl To do so would be sac
rilege. And why should we in this coun-
try, whose women and children went
down on the 'Lusitania," whose sons
and brothers and fathers are already near
or on the firing line-why should we for
get all these things in days to come, and
exchange our gold for German-made
goods merely because they are offered US
for a much less money than the same
articles can be manufactured here? And
why should the South American coun-
tries encourage imports of German goods
when by doing so, every dollar serves to
strengthen the arms of nation which
would crush them ali in it's plan of world
dominion? Why should India, and Japan,
and China, help rebuild an export trade,
the rapid growth of which, and whose
enormous profits, fed the fires of avarice
with the dream of controlling the factories
and workshops of the whole world?
The very money which for Years has
flowed into Germany from France, and
England, and Italy, is this very moment
going back to them in the form of dead
ly gases and monster shells, and all the
hideous implements of which the Huns
are proud. Money which this country
exchanged for German goods is being
spent on cur own soil in a propaganda by
which hate, distrust, and righteousness
are planted and nurtured. Our own dol
lars were and still are being spent to To-
ment hate between this country and
Japan, and Mexico; it was some of our
own money which paid for dishonor of
the Bernstortf type; which has blown up
our mills and ships and docks; which has
made the l. w. w. what it is. Shall we
then in time resume the exchange of our
money to foe who will ere long approach
us with smiling face and explain no
harm was meant when he stopped at no
barrier and recognized no code of faith or
morality? Will we be so craven as to for
get all this2 Or will we demand that
Congress pass law requiring that every
article imported into this country shall
(under penalty of confiscation be plainly
marked, showing the country of it's ORR
gin? And then may all good Americans
show their loyalty and never hesitate
one instant between going without an ar
ticle or buying one bearing that mark of
iniquity ''Made in Germany. Popular

MULE SHOE ROUTE
Gravity Scheme Invented by Min
ers of Tennessee.
Devise Mountain Trail Tobooran
Which Takes Them to Shaft
Openings in a Hurry.

A queer gravity railroad scheme is
in use among the miners in the Inman
district of Tennessee, not far from the
town of South Pittsburg. The region
has, by the way. more different kinds
of means of transportation than any
other in the world. The range is from
the steeply inclined cable road that
runs up Lookout mountain, not so
many miles away, to the idea that the
miners evolved for themselves after
watching section bosses use gravity
cars for coasting down the mountains.
The mines nestle in q valley at the
foot Of series of hills, and the rail-
road track winds its tortuous way
from the mine openings up to the
heights that lead to the outside world
Many Of the miners live In the set
Elements on the hills, and 1t Is long
way to the shaft openings. One day
some bright genius discovered that
mule shoe would fit over the top of
the Trail that marked the course of
the railroad.
1t was but an inventive step to at
tach the shoe to a short board and
then slip the mountain rail sled over
the track, says an exchange Then all
Mr.. Miner had to do was to balance
himself, pick up his feet and transport
miner, pick and dinner bucket down
the mountain to work. OF course, it
was one way traffic for which the
road got no money, but there was no
conductor. no strap hanging and no
stopping to buy tickets on the mule
shoe route.
Early any morning the stranger may
see the miners come along with their
mule shoe toboggans. calmly take g
seat and begin the descent.
A pick handle, stick or the foot
serves as brake to regulate the speed
of the incline railway. AS the shoes
wear smooth from contact with the
rail they pick up speed, and at times
a couple of daring coal diggers will
race on opposite rails from the top to
the bottom. But as a rule they take
the trip carefully and earnestly so as
not to interfere with the rights of the
road that may belong to a neighbor
before or after them.
The scheme, of course, will not work
up hill, and the road has to bring the
men back on crowded cars that are not
so comfortable or exhilarating as the
individual coasters that come scooting
down the mountain in the morning.
The number of missing mule shoes
when the idea arst got vogue was per-
picking, and 1t was some time before
the company storekeepers found out
why the stocks were being depleted
by such odd lots that no amount of
shoeing extravaganza could account
for it.
But the miner in those parts is a
law unto himself; since he rose up
twenty years ago and put a forcible
end to the convict system of working
the mines, and the owners mindful of
the fact that the state of Tennessee
had to keep standing army for two
years to keep the peace at that time,
do not intend to let little thing 1ike
a mule shoe create any disturbance.

MALE OSTRICH BUILDS NEST
Sets on Eggs at Night During the In
eubation Which Lasts Forty to
Fifty Days.

After pairing, the ostrich begins to
make his nest 1t is the male alone
that performs this duty. To do it, he
squats upon the ground, and, balanc
ing himself upon his breastbone.
scratches up the earth with his legs
and throws it behind him. When he
mas dug out enough on one side to suit
MN he turns round and begins to dig
ON another side. and continues this
operation until he has made hole
large enough for him to sit in comfort
ably. A few days after the nest is
finished the female begins to lay one
egg every alternate day for eighteen
or twenty days. She then rests for a
While. which time varies from four to
ten days, and then lays more A pair
OF oStriches yield about forty eggs.
though 1t Is not unusual for well-fed
well-kept pair to yield fifty to sixty
eggs. The eggs are placed so as to
leave no space between them. The
male and the female brood alternate
~. At night the male is always on
the nest, as it possesses greater
warmth than the female.
These birds perform their duties
with the greatest skill, without any
noise or breakage of the eggs. The
incubation lasts forty-five days on an
average. sometimes fifty days, but new
er continues beyond that. When the
chicklings hatch out they can be heard
trying to break the shell of the egg.
Sometimes they succeed in doing so,
but usually the father breaks the egg
under the breast bone, tears the inside
skin with his bill, and frees the chick
ling. Upon first reaching the air the
chickling remains limp and weak. But
the warmth of the parent soon revives
1t, and few hours afterward it be-
gins to run about. exercising its long
legs, topping over at each step, and
recommending again its stumbling
journey. Four days after their hatch
ing the chicklfngs begin to eat They
run after insects and swallow small
pebbles. The father and mother do
not help their little ones to find food.

A Dead Stomach.
OF What Use Is 1t?

Thousands? yes hundreds of thousands
of people throughout America are taking
the slow death treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stomach,
the best friend they have, and in their
sublime ignorance they think they are
putting aside the laws of nature.
This is no sensational statement; it is a
startling fact, the truth of which any
honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swallow
ing daily huge quantities of pepsin and
other strong digesters, made especially
to digest the food in the stomach with
out any aid at all from the digestive MEM
brane of the stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes; they do
more. Taken regularly for few weeks
they build up the run down stomach and
make it strong enough to digest its own
food. Then Indigestion, belching, sour
stomach and headache will go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by A. A. Howes
& Co, who guarantee them.

famines in the eleventh century, one
famine in the thirteenth. three in the
fourteenth. three In the sixteenth,
three in the seventeenth, four in the
eighteenth up to 1745. And under
British rule seven famines from 1859
to 1900. And in the ninteenth cen
fury thirty-two famines, In the first
quarter of the nineteenth century
there were five famines, with 1,OO0,-
600 deaths; in the second quarter,
three famines, with 100000 deaths; in
the third quarter, six famines with
