SAVING SURPLUS CROPS.

The National League for Woman's
Service is arranging to conserve the
surplus crops for the benefit of sol
diers' families
1t is estimated that in the past as
high as one-third of the garden crops
raised has been allowed to spoil be
cause of inability of the owner to har-
vest and preserve them, as the crops
often mature so rapidly.
This amount would go far toward
alternating the suffering of the poor
next winter, could some way be de-
vised for procuring and canning, dry
ing or otherwise preserving it.
Through the courtesy of Milwaukee
school authorities nineteen grade
school and four high school domestic
science kitchens and the services of
the teachers and pupils have been
placed at the disposal of the league
for this work. The women interested
are experimenting with various proc
esses of canning and drying and the
most wise and scientific methods will
be employed III taking care of the
food.
The motor squad of the league will
collect materials from outlying dis
tricts and the league provides cans,
sugar and all necessary materials.
The greatest problem now con-
fronting the committee is that of ar
ranging to notify and receive the CO.
operation of the producer who has
more material than he can take care
of. 1t is possible that the admirable
organization which is taking the
household census may be utilized for
this purpose. Meantime there is need
of chairman to arrange and main
tain smoothly working plan.
Mr.. Hamme has kindly promised the
use of space at the gas office and here
the produce may be brought and will
be called for by the leagues motor
squad.
Producers who have material to do
nate but no time to harvest it may be
assisted by pickers sent out by the
league but, of course, the number of
helpers is limited.

Just saIt Down insect sites.

Having read of the curative proper
ties Of common salt a woman who
loves picnic parties, but suffers a great
deal from the stings and bites of the
nameless insects so numerous in the
woods, to say nothing of the attentions
or mosquitoes, determined to test its
efficiency. She selected three bites on
her forearm. one she left untouched,
another she bathed with salt and wa
Ter and the last she pricked with a
sterile needle and rubbed dry salt into
the bite. This one healed in a short
time and the burning, itching sensa-
uon disappeared almost Immediately
the salt was applied, the bite which
mad been bathed with salt healed next
and the other bite stayed on and gave
inconvenience, especially at night, for
nearly week.

Elections in Land of Nippon.

The Japanese people are satisfied
with the result of the election of April
20, but agitation regarding expense at
tending n canvass fer a seat in parlia
ment is renewed. The same argument
is heard as those after the last gen
eral election, according to East and
West. The Chugai Shogyo estimates
the cost of 600 candidates at not less
than $2,640.00 This is more than
representatives in the United States
expend, but senators have been known
to pay half a million for seats in that
body. The Chugai says the govern
ment spent 100000 for supervising
the election. which, to Americans, will
appear moderate. This sum Includes
stamping trips" through the country
by cabinet ministers; members of the
opposition paid their own expenses.
The editor regrets that so many men
entitled to vote fail 70 exercise their
high privilege. Repeated dissolution
of the diet not only causes political
disturbances, he argues, but imposes
heavy financial loss upon the nation
and upon individuals.

ing and boiling the door.
I'VE can talk undisturbed and I'M
heard, gentlemen" he assured as they
swept the room with cautious eyes aft
er hearing the prophesy of the news
paper men.
They sat down presently with pencil
and paper and the data brought to the
meeting by the secretary of war. This
data was of private and official char
acter and it was not intended that it
should ever reach the press in its pres
ent form. 1t was for this reason more
than any other that soldiers, whose in
tegrity was established beyond doubt,
were stationed outside near the study
wfndOws-which were shaded and
Ioeked-and that Major Brent person
ally guarded the only other entrance to
the stndy-the door leading into the
library proper; and when he was not
on guard Adams or Pearl was. With
the exception of Miss Dare and her
guest, Bertha Bonn, no one else was
permitted in the library.
The household servants went to
their quarters soon after their eve
ming duties were performed; the but
Ter had purposely been granted a night
off; there were no servants whatsoever
on the first floor and the two upstairs
girls We're always In sight or sound of
their mistress; and Toxic, the chauf-
feur, was known to be at local repair
shop overhauling one of the cars.
The Whereabouts of Brent's secret
guard inside the house was, of course,
told to Pearl and Bertha during the
early part of the evening. The object
of this extra precaution was obvious /;
not even the house inmates, them
selves, could speak without being over
heard by someone in duty bound to re-
port to the major; and any person
without a license to be about would be
instantly discovered and elected. To
make the place all the more inaccessi-
BILE to stealth or intrigue, while the
window blinds were tightly drawn
downstairs the easements in the upper
stories were wide open and through
the screens the reporters in the sum-
mer house could see that every room
was brilliantly alight
Thus was the lure laid for the Silent
Menace in perfect detail.
IF he g-gits in, we ketch him, and
if he's in now, he'll never git o-out,"
was how Adams summed up the ar
rangements to the members of the
press to whom the quaint fellow was a
genuine treat and new news" topic

every time he mingled with them. The
fact that Adams was under Surveil-
lance they did not know; nor did he,
apparently-Brent saw to that and
made it his own affair.
Nor did Brent know that Adams was
shadowing him and also Bertha Bonn.
Bertha, however, knew this. She knew,
too, that she could trap Adams with
word to Pearl. And no better oppor-
tunity was ever offered. Bertha's eyes
and ears were open.
Adams was cogniZant of great in
ner change in Bertha Bonn. Revenge
in Bertha'S heart was being supplanted
by her former lover in finer and deep
er form for the waywarding sweetheart
of her girlhood. On this night she was
more completely under the spell of the
captivating major than even that astute
observer into the heart of woman
perceived. If Brent Lad only known il
he could have sealed Bertha's lips for
ever on the question of their former
relations by simple application of the
artifice of loye-making in which he was

sincerity.
But this sentimental attitude of
Bertha entirely escaped him. He was
too busy trying to make definite i'm
precision on Pearl. lie knew that the
time had come when he must either
win or fortify himself to lose in his
suit for her hand and he had about
reached the end of his rope. Pearls
sighting heed to his yelled coquetry
and particular delight in stab5ing him
when he grew too bold, only made mat
/ tiers more desperate. At such times
she openly fiirted-but only that-with
Adams and appeared to get good deal
f of quiet and amused satisfaction out of
it, II nothing more Though Adams
may have been tlattered, he never once
forgot his place. He could not we'll run
the risk of the disciplining his superior
officer would be nightly pleased to
