TOO MUCH FRUIT NOT GOOD
Medical Men Have Never Recon-
mended That 1t Should Be Made
an Exclusive Diet.

Whosoever eats fruit as a prepon-
derant article Of diet soon learns that
it has manifold disadvantages, es-
pecially in childhood, says the Medical
Record. Because Of the exquisite
flavor and refreshing quality Of fruit,
the child is naturally attracted to 1t
and will eat 1t to excess. The bowel
disorders that are apt to follow its use
can Of course be explained in part by
infected dirt and dust.
Much must depend on the evolution
of the fruit-whether extremes Of heat,
cold, humidity, ETC., have interfered
with normal maturity. Certain kinds
Of fruit, as oranges, grapes and ripe
bananas, are so bland that they can be
eaten freely. Others are laxative,
some are astringent, while a few, like
the strawberry, have for many persons
some specially irritating If not toxic
property.
Fruit should be washed well, and all
fruits that can be peeled should be.
"Fruit," says the Medical Record, "is
recommended especially for the rheu-
matte, equity, arteriosclerotic (prelimi-
nary perlod) and numerous other
classes of invalids, for its content Of
organic acids. The apparent value Of
fruit in constipation is known to the
public. Where there is danger of de-
ficiency disease, as In the case Of bot
tle-fed infants, sailors, etc., the value
Of fruit juices is also well known.
Hence, certain classes of subjects
profit by being fruitarians to con-
siderable extent, but exclusive fruit
arianism is chlmera for many
reasons"

the dirt out of the bottom Of the
drains. Steel partitions between the
pens discourage bacteria and a COM
bination of all of these improvements
lnsures success.
A winter hoghouse of the most mod
ern type is shown in the perspective
and floor plan. 1t is made on the saw
tooth plan with the upper windows
placed directly over the pens. The
roof plan is worked out to fit the lat
itude in which it is to be built, so the
sun will shine into the nests at farrow-
Ing time, both spring and fall.
The building is "a feet by "a feet
In size, built of structural tile, on q
foundation Of concrete. This makes
hollow wall above grade which is
both windproof and dampproof. The
concrete floor slopes from the outside
walls to the cutters at the sides of
the center feeding alley. These gut
tiers drain out at the far end of the
hoghouse and are easily kept clean
with hose.
The equipment inside Is made as
completely sanitary as possible with
steel partitions, manure and feed car
riers suspended from overhead tracks,
feed troughs made of concrete for the
large sows and feed troughs made of
steel for the smaller hogs. The house
Is planned and built for easy cleaning
and for ease and comfort in doing the
work.
On the north side of the hoghouse
1t is advisable to build long, narrow
dipping tank for the hogs. 1t should
be IS inches wide at the top and 8

On Writing letters.

that there is new style in trench
letters. The censor's duties have
been reduced by many per cent. The
soldier now has the sense of the stu

sees through the need of keeping quiet
even on matters that call for some
criticism. There is more humor and
matter-Of-factness about his letters.
One of my men, who can't write very
well, was telling me the other day that
one letter a week Is all that he can
summon up his courage to write and

PORPOISE FISHERY IS OLD
Been in Existence at Cape Hat
teras for 200 Years.

One of the oldest and least known
industries in America Is the porpoise
fishery which has been operated from
Cape Hatteras in North Carolina for
about 200 years. 1t should attain an
unusual prosperity in the next few
years, for the bureau of fisheries is
urging more general use of porpOiSe
hides in place of cOwhides 1t is an
excellent Leather, and could undoubt-
eddy be used more widely.
Heretofore the most valuable prod
uct Of the fishery has been the Oil
which is extracted from the Jaws of
the pOrpOise, and Is worth about $50
gallon. 1t Is universally used for
lubricating watches and other very del
icate mechanisms. The body blubber
is also valuable. Attempts to manu-
facture fertilizer out of the carcasses
have failed because of the distance
from fuel supply.
The porpoise are taken at Hatteras
in seines, operated from the shore, and
it is probably the only place in Amer
lea where this has ever been done
successfully. During the fall, winter
and spring many porpOises are seen
off the South Atlantic coast, and at
Hatteras they come within few hun
dred yards of the surf. They are
taken by spreading seines about 200
yards outside the surf lines AS soon
as the porpolses have come inside the
selnes, It is dragged ashore. Often a
whole school Of these sea creatures is
taken in a single haul.

Idol

First of all Badger fell in love with
the girl on the screen. That's why
he began to try to write moving pic
ture scenarios. He was already a sue
eessful story writer, and his friend
Towers told him he was a great boob
to waste his time on that blooming
shark game" But what are you going
to do with man who has fallen In
love with face on a film? He must
write play for that shadowy person
10 interpret, and make alive or perish
htserably. You might as we'll let him
20 to his doom untrammeled, since he
will go.
Edith Faber played the beautiful, I'M
sophisticated, unselfish, and always
Tronged heroine with appealing force.
When the manager handed back to
Badger his first attempt as mot exact
iy suited to his needs" he added: "You
see there must be part, too, for Miss
Hall. She's the one who plays the
boarding house keeper"
"What that horrid old shrew |" ex-
claimed Badger.
Exactly. She's got to have a char
acter part. We're under contract to
her. She's some relation to Miss Fa-
ber."
Badger said he would like to try
again, and would take hack at Miss
Hall. He went home thinking it was
Just the sweet unselfishness of Edith
Faber to make the manager engage
rather undesirable relative. He was
deeper in love than ever. He bonn
barded the manager with scenarios,
and at the fourth venture had the bliss
Of having one accepted for the lovely
Miss Faber@ 1t was called, 1.-THE Soul
Of Stella" and Badger waited anx-
ously for the filming process to be-
gin.
They let him into the studio one
DAY after they had begun taking the
picture. He passed through a long
corridor lined on one side with closed

made In panels, is placed outside Of
the trough when in use. After Dip
ping, the portable fence panels are 1T
ted over against the lane fence and
are wired fast to hold them upright
until needed again.
To protect hogs from vermin in the
summer time, the cheapest and most
convenient arrangement is a hog wal
low. Where good many hogs are
kept, number of wallows are neces-
sary. These are made of concrete by
first digging a pit about foot deep.
The concrete floor is made in the bot
tom Of this pit by pounding down
stones and filling in between them
with concrete grout mortar. Then the
inside wooden forms are put In place
and the side walls are raised foot
above the floor. The earth Is dug
square so as to answer for the outside
form. The top Of the hog wallow walls
are made after the fashion of a curb,
to reach up above the ground about
2 inches to keep out dirt. A 2 by A
is used as an outside form above the
ground.
These hog wallows should be neatly
finished The forms should be made
true and the curb or coping should be
beveled on the edges so as to give
neat appearance and prevent chip
ping. The wallows are built along the
stock lane at intervals, so the hogs
may be admitted from the different
fields, either by opening the gates or
by creeps.
The yards In front Of the hoghouse
should be paved with concrete. The
work is done by grading the ground
with drop Of about inches in the
width Of the floor, which is 16 feet.
The concrete is laid sidewalk fashion,
by marking off the area with 2 by As,
making blocks 6 feet square. The
lower part of the blocks may be made
with lean mixture of concrete on top

of which surface layer rich enough
The hog feeding floor is not intended
for hard use, so it Is neither thick nor
| expensive, but it answers the purpose
splendidly.
There should be a good wire fence
all around the outside, stapled to con-
crete posts. The floor is used for
feeding and as an exercising yard for
| hogs during the fall and spring, and
when the weather is mild In winter.
In summer and fall the feeding floor
is used to finish the hogs for the mar
ket. Sometimes a bunch of 20 or 80
will be fed on the floor every day for
week or two and permitted to walk
back to the fields between feeds.
Later on, say two weeks before ship
ping, they are confined on the feed
ing floor and in the hoghouse until
ready for market This makes COM
bination summer and winter hoghouse.
Such complete hog department as
| this requires a number of small porta-
BILE hoghouses to be used in the fields.
Sanitary hog raising plans should be
carried out all through the different
seasons. Winter pasture as well as
spring, fall and summer pasture
should be provided in different fields
of the farm to work in with a thor
ough system of rotation of crops.
The portable houses may be 6 by 3
feet, simply made, with shed roofs.
They may be hauled away and placed
in any field for the accommodation of
sows with their filters, or to make
sleeping quarters for the older pigs

inches wide at the bottom, inside meas
urement. The tank should be 20 feet
long on the bottom, with 10-foot APP
proach at each end. The incline down
into the tank should be made smooth
and the one leading out Of the tank
should be corrugated.
The tank is made narrow for two
reasons: In the first place, less dip
ping fluid is needed for narrow tank,
and the second reason is that when a
hog gets started through tank as
narrow as this, 1t cannot turn around.
The length is about sufficient to give
the dipping fluid time to soak into the
hair and skin of the animal, while 1t
is swimming through. A depth of 2
feet is sufficient for the large hogs.
1t is not filed full for the smaller
ones. The object is to have the fluid
deep enough to cover the hog all but
Its nose and eyes. A portable fence.

doors, one of which being partly opened
disclosed the fact that they were dress
Ing rooms, and that young woman in
n Hmono was applying paint plenti-
fully to her features. Through LADY,
rinth of packing boxes, furniture, prop
critics, scenery, and paint pots, Badger
finally came within range Of a man
with camera. He was quickly steer
ed to a safe distance back of the man,
and saw q man sitting at desk while
girl talked to youth behind his
back. Her conversation was in an un-
dertone, entirely unintelligible, and
Badger wondered what it was all
about. He did not remember having
such scene in his manuscript. Later
on he was told that they had to put
that In to make the story clearer. Still
later on he found they had put in so
much and taken out so much to make
the story Clearer" that it was not
clear to him that he had written 1t at
all. However he made no moan, be-
lieving they knew the business of
thrilling the public better than he did,
also believing it would please them to
have him think this. The small scene
had to be put over SO many times that
the anxious author began to think the
beautiful heroine would not appear
that day. But when luncheon COM
menced to loom up in persistent rivalry
with his desire to see her, she came In
rather disfgured, he thought, by the
CHASTITY makeup, but still fascinat-
ing.
Before Badger left he had the fe-
licity of meeting Miss Faber, and on
closer acquaintance was more than
ever In love. He saw her leaving the
place with a young girl, who might
have been pretty had she not been SO
thin, and lacking In color. She seemed
like a pale wild flower beside the bril-.
liant blossom Of the other girls beauty
Badger concluded she was Miss Fa'
ber's maid.
The next time Badger went he ar.
rived on the scene so early that they
were just putting up the set, and as he
seemed In imminent danger to himself

Hard to Hear Airplane at Sea.

While It Is widely known that an air
plane can be heard for some distance
off on land, on water the tapping Of
the waves and the whistling Of the
wind through the rigging and super
structure of vessel make 1t almost
impossible to hear the power plant Of
an approaching seaplane until it is al
most overhead. Hence the submarine
plying the surface has slight warning
of an impending seaplane attack until
1t Is often too late to escape.-Sclenti-

deavored to get out of the way, and
he crept into place Of safety, an an

emily he heard voices. Two women
were talking.
II never could have believed you
could be quite so unjust, so cruel as
this. I've had to find out you could be
intensely selfish and inconsiderate,
but this-this is too much to stand"
"Oh, really" said the other. "You
seem to forget got you this job, that

much like Miss Faber's. But lovers
sometimes will not even believe their

At the name Badger felt as though
someone had dealt him a blow.
Certainly" said Miss Faber. '"Tve
got to have someone Of some use to
me-"
"Why don't you hire maid then7"
Because don't have to. can cas-
lily get someone in your place." was
the cool retort.
"But I am giving satisfaction here"
Rather too much satisfaction.
That's why your part has got to be cut
down. What l say goes"
If thoughts were material "things,"
they must have heard on the other
side Of that partition Badgers idol
go to the ground with terrible crash.
He felt rather dizzy and miserable. He
had not meant to listen. He had crept
in there to save his head, and it SEEM
ed he had saved his heart. Though the
process had been painful.
He heard them go out of the room,
and peering out saw 1t was Miss Faber
and the dreadful Shrew he had created
for the picture. He thought she could
not possibly be- the pretty, pale girl
he had seen going away with Miss Fa-
Der, but later on he found out she
was. He sought an Introduction, and
complimented her on her interpreta
ton Of his character. She took it mod
estly, but with grateful CLEAN in her
blue eyes that Badger was inclined to
think even more adorable than the
smile of his former idol.
When Badger had managed it so
that they had become very well &C
quainted, he told her he had spoken
to the perfection" Picture company,
and they would engage her if she
could be released from the one where
she was. Badger knew he should never
forget the look that came into her eyes
when he said this. 1t was as though
he had opened the prison door to one
long kept in darkness. When Miss Hall
saw him few days later she told
Badger they were not willing to re-
lease her.
"They've got to-" he shouted. "Will
you let me manage it? VIII you let
me hereafter manage everything for
you?"
There was such tremendous en-
phasis on the everything she looked
up questioningly. Then she looked
down blushingly. Badger had pene-
tration enough to see there was no Sc
rious objection.
