Old Looks :?
(BY DR.. L. II. SMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid In the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is Of the
simplest: Drink copiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as 1t is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store q package of Anuric,
double strength, which is TO be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbagO, rheuma-
tism, govt, Cue to uric acid In the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anuric.

American Girls Good Work.

Miss Winifred Holt of New York
city, founder Of the New York ASso-
citation for the Blind, who has been in
England and France almost continu-
ously since the outbreak of the war,
and has done such notable work for
the blind soldiers there, is in the
United States on a short visit in the
interest of her work. Already more
than 600 soldiers blinded in the war.
many of them minus an arm or leg
as well-have been cared for, nursed
back to health and courage and trans
ferred into industrious, self-support-
ing and hopeful men again at the in
stitution in Paris, called the Light
house, conducted by Miss Holt for the
relief of the war-blind. The aim Of
the work is to re-educate the men, with
the handicap of blindness upon them,
in some line of work they may be
able to do in spite of it. During her
sojourn in America, the work of the
Lighthouse is in the hands of Miss
Esther Cleveland, daughter of the late
president, and of Miss Bernardette
Grant, granddaughter of President
Grant, who have been for many months

MOVABLE TYPE OF PACKING HOUSE.

ter flavor and quality are also secured
by allowing the fruit to remain on the
tree as long as consistent with the use
to be made of it.
Various methods of handling the
fruit after 1t is picked are followed by
different growers. It may be packed
in the orchard. In some sections q
movable packing house is provided,
common type of which is seen in the
illustration. This house Is built on
runners, so that it may be moved read
lily from place to place by team.
Packages and Packing.
Several different styles of packages
are used in different sections. Per-
haps the 16-quart case shown in Fig.
% is used for shipping larger guam
titles of cherries than any other one
style. In some sections 24-quart Or
32-quart crates, similar to those shown
In the Illustration, are preferred. All
of these styles Of packages are extern
sively used for shipping Strawberries.
Baskets holding six or eight pounds
prevail in other sections. A few grow
ers pack sweet cherries in ten-pound
flats, similar to those that are COM
monty used in California for a similar
purpose.
Sequence Of Ripeninq of Different Va
rieties.
The cherry season is relatively
short, and it is important that the vari-
cites which a grower may plant shall
ripen in such sequence that he can
both pick the fruit and market it to
the best possible advantage.
The list of varieties given herewith
includes those of the most commercial
importance and a considerable number
of others that are grown more or less
commonly in small lots or in home or
chards. They are named as nearly as
The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1917-04-11

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture
The manner in which cherries are
picked is governed in a measure by
the disposition to be made of them.
Where they are to be shipped to
distant market, the stems must be left
on the fruit. If they are pulled off,
the juice will ooze from the fruit.
When harvested with the stems on,
the picker carefully grasps at one
time the stems Of several fruits in q
cluster and strips them from the tree
by giving slightly backward pull. If
due care is exercised, the stems will
remain firmly attached to the fruit
and the spurs will not be broken or
otherwise injured. In one important
cherry-growing region the common
method of removing the cherries is by
clipping the stems with scissors or
shears. When pickerS become accus-
toned to using shears, they usually
object to doing it in any other way,
though probably 1t is not quite SO rapid
a method as stripping the fruit by
hand.
If the fruit goes TO cannery located
in the immediate vicinity of the or
chard, it is commonly pulled from the
stem. Gamers usually pay more for
fruit picked in this way than for that
which retains the stems. They are
saved the expense of stemming after
the fruit reaches the cannery, and a
given bulk of cherries without stems
contains an appreciably larger guam
tity of actual fruit than an equal bulk
with stems. Fruit gathered by clip
ping the stems, however, is not desired
by commercial Gamers, as the portion
of the stem that remains on the fruit
is too short to be removed by the me-
chanical stemmers commonly used.
Comparatively small receptacles are

NAVY IS MODELLING
RESERVES AND MILITIA ORDERED
OUT FOR ACTIVE
SERVICE.
$4,000 MEN FOR FLEET
Entire Illinois Naval Battalion Called
Out by Gov. Lowden-Recruits Rush
to Join the colors at Various Sta
tions.

Washington, April 9.-Orders have
been issued modifying the navy, in
Guiding the regular establishments, the
naval reserve, the naval militia and
the newly organized power boat coast
patrol.
The regular naval establishment,
comprising the Atlantic feet and aux
a war basis since the break in rela-
tons with Germany. The mobilization
order issued after Fridays cabinet
meeting brings into the federal serv-
ice about $4,000 additional men, and
many small boats offered by their own
ers for coast patrol work.
All the naval militia and naval re-
serves were called to the colors with
the presidents signing of the war res
olutiOn.
The coast guard, with all its exten-
sive resources and equipment, auto
matically passed into the navy, as is
provided by law in times of war.
The navy, to provide additional fa-
cilities for the training of recruits, be-
gan arranging to take over properties
and ground adjacent to present reser-
vations.
The rush of recruits for naval serv-
ice has Overcrowded the stations at
Newport, Norfolk, the Great Lakes
and San Francisco. The men are be-
Ing given tent shelter pending the con-
structiOn of new buildings and expan-
sion of the grounds. Funds to meet
the necessary expenditures will be
taken from the general appropriation
asked of congress.
Springfield, Ill, April 9.-The entire
Illinois naval battalion was called out
on Friday by Governor Lowden on or
ders from Secretary of War Daniels.
The summons brings into the fed
eral service approximately 60 officers
and 800 men, most of them from Chi
cagO, which contributes six divisions
of naval militia and one company Of
marines.
The divisions are modelling in Chi
cago, Quincy, Alton, Moline and Peo-
ria.
Where the men are to be sent is a
secret of the navy department, but 1t
is believed TO be out Of Illinois.

The order in which the names are
listed indicates the sequence in which
they ripen, as nearly as it is possible to
determine it from available data,
though the sequence of ripening varies
more or less in different years, even in
the same orchard, as well as in differ
ent orchards; for instance, some grow
ers report the Windsor as earlier, 9TH
ers as later, than the MOntmorency.
This variation should be kept in mind
when making comparisons with this

used by pickerS when harvesting cher
ries. In some instances five or eight
pound baskets are used also for pick
Ing, while other types of pals, bas-
kets, or similar receptacles of four
to six quarts capacity are not uncom-
mon among the average picking gang.
Under good crop and tree conditions
an average picker will harvest $50 to
200 pounds Of fruit, or about three to
four bushels, In ten-hour day. Ex-
ceptionally rapid pickers sometimes
harvest as many as 400 pounds in a
day.
Where the trees are headed low a
good deal Of the fruit can be picked
without climbing, but to reach the
fruit on the higher limbs stepladders
or straight ladders are used.
Picking is paid for usually by the
pound or quart; sometimes by the gal
lon, case Or crate. In nearly all COM
mercial orchards picking is piecework
rather than dayWork, and the prevail
ing rate is one cent a pound, or %
cents a crate of 16 quarts.
The assembling of an adequate num-
Der of pickers is critical feature In
the proper handling Of a crop Of cher
ries. The fruit should not be picked
until it is ripe. When this stage is
reached, 1t should be moved very
promptly; otherwise it will deteriorate.
Under favorable conditions the period
of durability Of ripe fruit on the trees
of the more important varieties is
rarely more than five or six days. In
orchards where the fruit is ripening
uniformly, so that the trees can be
stripped at one picking if desirable, a
force of eight to twelve pickers to
the acre is not unusual.
It is not always an easy matter to
decide just when cherries should be
picked. The tendency Is to pick as
soon as they are slightly colored and
before they are fully ripe. The fruits
usually increase quite rapidly both in
size and weight during the last two or
three days before full ripeness is
reached. Instances are reported of
an increase in weight of 10 per cent
by delaying picking for two days. Bet
