If San Jose scale is present in the
apple orchard a strong contact spray
should be given during the dormant
season. Commercial concentrated lime
sulphur diluted with about eight parts
of water makes an ideal spray for this
pest and it also helps to destroy other
orchard pests. Spray thoroughly so that
each scale is soaked, otherwise those
escaping will reinfest the tree the next
summer.
For the control of tree and fruit in

YOUTH FIGHTS
FOOD CONSERVATION

yes, know the little Belgian child
ed small child at table before his
parents could beat him to it, "but
don't. I'd rather starve than eat it. "
And now those parents will have to
think up new method of attacking
that youngst ers line OF defense.
My heart goes out TO the thousands
of American parents who are struggl-
ing to establish proper food tastes in
their children. They are fighting
against trying odds. And they have no
choice, if they are intelligent and con-
scientious, but to fight Most children
have their aversions and prejudices and
these should not be permitted to in
crease any more than is necessary.
There is no subject pertaining to
personal health so difficult for me to
write upon as food And yet what and
! how we eat affects our personal health
more than almost any factor over which
the individual has control. The Difficult
| ty lies in the fact that even authorities
on the subject have their own ideas
colored by their personal likes and dis
likes of this and that article Of food
| And there is right where we come back
to the necessity of preventing, as far
as we can, child from forang avoid
able dislikes.
Grown up people, almost without ex-
ception, eat too much meat and not
enough vegetables. Their food is too
concentrated. This makes the fire too
hot and burns out the furnace. Children
/ therefore, should be taught, trained
and encouraged to acquire taste for
some articles of food against which
they are inclined to rebel.
Firm methods of handling have their
place. but they likewise have their
limitations. The parent must be on
guard to see that he does not just try
to force his own tastes upon his child.
Possibly some of the estimable dishes
which never appear on the home table
because Father or Mother does not like
them, might appeal tremendously to
the smaller members of the family.
Sometimes the children do not get a
square deal. And often. not enough
thought is put into planning variety III
choice and variety in methods of cook
ing.
AS an illustration, | know of some
small children who are so fond of the
coarse and much more healthful "wal
bread" they now get, that they pass uI

dition TO its toothsomeness. The pat

Arrangement of Street Lamps.

A recent investigation of the rela-
tive merits of parallel and staggered
arrangement of street lamps is most
interesting, since it discloses that from
an ornamental viewpoint the former is
preferable, while, from utilitarian
viewpoint, the latter is preferable un-
der certain conditions. By parallel ar
rangement is meant the placing OF
lamps so that they come opposite each
other, while staggered arrangement
means that the lamps on one side Of
a street are placed so as to come half
way between those on the opposite
side. In general, the staggered ar
rangement furnishes more uniform il
Elimination. However, where the
street width is not much greater than
the distance between lamp standards,
the parallel arrangement is preferable.
In instances where the street width is
considerably greater than the spacing
of the lamps, the staggered arrange
ment will give the best results.-Sci-

is only a matter of time when Ger.
