Orioin of Potato Ruas.

Potatoes blazed the way to the bugs,
which have proven our great and de-
structive pests. Potato bugs were
Colorado beetles and lived contentedly
on the sand bars of the plateau land
in that part of the country. The sand
bars, from a botanical standpoint, are
distantly related to potatoes and when
civilization brought the potatoes to
the Colorado regions the bugs trans
ferred tuair attention and affection to
the tenderer and iucier vines. Then
the bugs quite rapidly followed the po-
tato zones toward the east, appearing
in Iowa in Civil war times, crossing
the Mississippi about 1864 and reach
ing New York and the New England
states in the '70's. In the early years
of its eastward migration the potato
hug was considered as being deadly
poison, but a nearer acquaintance With
the pest dispelled this impression.

When the Feet Are Tired.

Those who are obliged to stand
while at work during the day will find
that the heavy, fatigued feeling in the
feet will be relieved by bathing the
feet night and morning with spirits of
camphor after first having washed the
feet with cold water and soap. Dur
ing the hot weather the feet will not
tire and "feel like lead" if ones stock
ings and shoes be changed every day.
The entire weight of the body rests
upon the feet, and the feet become
grooved, feel sore and ache unless they
are cared for and provision made to
change the pressure. This can be ac-
complished by merely changing the
stockings and shoes, If one has no OPP
portunity to wash the feet during the
daytime.
If the feet are moist and inclined to
sweat, talcum powder or chalk busted
into the soIes of the stockings will give
much comfort while one is obliged to
be on his feet.

down and rest a minute
The bright-eyed girl in the doorway,
capped, aproned and broom in hand,
smiled inVitingly to the young man on
the other side of the gate, who had
asked if he could enter. He followed
her into the house, and she dropped

Mrs. Bliss drifted into the room in

said:

Parrot Has a Strange Pal.

A quaint scene in Kensington gar

tailed, rosy-billed bird that amazes Wis
itors by its swift, strong flights over
the elm tops-screaming harshly as
it goes. This is a wild parrot-once
a tame one. 1t has already weathered
several winters in the gardens, and

on the fencing. 1t has no mate of its
kind, but has formed a remarkable
friendship with a wood pigeon, with
whom it is often seen in company. and
the quantity sorted pair fly off togeth-

paper"
Il didn't suppose lawyers ever lost
anything-but cases." said Florry.
"What is it?"
"Why, haven't you seen the big re-
ward in the newspapers? It's gone up
now from five hundred to fifteen hun
dred. The deed is an old one, but it
involves the ownership of all that
ground where the big Miles manufac-
turing plant stands. You see, my Of
fee, Myers and jerks, has had all the
Hazard papers in charge for years, and
they can't account for the disappear
ance of that deed. If it was stolen,
and we think it must have been, we
can't see the motive. Well, it's a mys-
terry. But l just wish / could collar

The little woman shook her head
doubtfully. I'm afraid not" she
sighed.
NO" put in Florry. "That isn't the
kind of thing mother saves. It's not
likely to be anything worth fifteen
hundred dollars. Besides, don't think
she was ever inside Myers and jerks
office, so she couldn't be accused of
stealing it"
Tom Holmes laughed heartily at the
idea of the gentle-faced little woman
in the role of a robber, and declared
he couldn't imagine ii even on the
screen. After she left the room, he
said, seriously: "Florry, do you know
what I'd do with that money if / got
that reward?"
FIorry hadn't the remotest idea.
I'D buy that Spellman house. It's
going TO be sold at auction next week,
and it will go cheap. If it was fixed
up a bit, it would make beautiful lit

"Oh, well, know Brooke has"

mother likes him, and"

laughed teasingly. But that Spell

at all sure that Brooke's visits were

"COme home, and have dinner with

houses, even after the Spellman place
Is sold"
"But not other Florrys," he said.
81 should hope not. Come along,
and forget it,"
Tom didn't need urging, and went.
Oh, what dinner it was Though it
was plain and simple, it was well
cooked, and Tom, used to a boarding
house table, thought it a banquet of
the gods, especially every time he
looked at Florry opposite him. Then
came the homemade jam.
"Florry, dear! Why didn't you open
it before you brought it on?" said her
mother.
Florry did not explain that Tom had
got her slightly ratified" and proceed
ed to remove the stout paper cover.
1t was tightly tied down, and Tom Of
fered his assistance with a pocket
knife. He removed the paper and be-
gan reading the writing on the other
side. Suddenly he gasped and cried
out:

con the other Jars, suppose" said
Mrs. Bliss. "Why?"
cts the Hazard deed!" he cried.
Such an opening of jam pots never
was seen, and such a piecing together
of bits, some of the paper being found
intact, and not yet cut into.
Mother, where did you get it?"
asked Florry.
zone day a load of waste paper was
going by, and some of it blew over in
the yard. I thought that was such
nice, tough, strong paper it would be
just the thing for jellies and jams.
It's been up on the shelf for a good
while"
"It must have got brushed off into
the waste basket" said Tom.
Tom bought the Spellman place, and
it's being got ready for Florry and
her mother. Tom doesn't know wheth-

The Food Administration has is
sued the following:
In the present movement for rea-
sonable profits on staple foods the
retail grocer win find many oppor-
tunities for readjusting his prices on
the odd-penny basis. Sales of gro
ceries have be enhampered for years
by the so-called round prices; that
is, prices in even nickles and dimes,
odd-penny prices have been used
to build up the sales of department
stores and mail-order houses and are
just as effective for the small re-
tail stores.
An interesting adaptation of the
odd-penny price is being made by a
cigar corporation to meet increased
revenue taxes on cigars, cigarettes,
and tobacco. Articles which were
formerly sold for and 10 cents are
priced variously at 6, Z, 8, II, IL
and ID cents TO maintain both the
standard quality and size of package.

loss of two-thirds pay. Drunkenness

The men all subscribed very liber-

"Grizzlies," the California regiment
of field artillery, subscribed an aver
age of $50 for each man, and every
man subscribed. The Colorado men
in the 157th came second in this
camp, which would be the highest in
the United States If they had not
given us a big bunch of drafted men.
