Small Sizes of Coal.

It is beyond question that the in
creased tonnage of anthracite ship
ments recorded during the last two
months has been largely made up of
the junior sizes. This portion of the
fuel output is assuming a much larger
share in the supplying of what may
now rightly be termed the domestic
trade. Under modern methods the use
of the smaller Goals is of much import
ance in the heating arrangements of
the habitations of a large portion of
the city populace-quite as much as
the use of the sizes scheduled as do
nestle coal. 1t is fortunate that means
have been availed of to utilize this
tonnage to good advantage elsewhere
than in manufacturing establishments,
but the fact remains that with so large
an output of the sO-called steam sizes
the retail dealer in the small places,
where, after all, the old-fashioned do
mestic trade now has its stronghold, is
not able to count ON the tonnage for
his requirements which the tonnage

THE USE OF CALADlUMS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

If you have an unsightly spot in ti~
rear of the house, which, by the way,
should never exist, you may hide 1t
from the casual visitor by border OF
the beautiful broad-leaved caladium.
Against q background of sweet peas
or saliva It produces a beautiful ef-
feet.
The best way to cultivate caladium
is TO plant the tubers as early in the
spring as the ground will permit. Inc
soil should be very rich with leaf mold
and well-rotted manure, and should be
worked up with little sand into a
loose loan. The addition of bone
meal, well worked into the Soil, will
helm the growth of the plants and add
to their beauty.
OF the fancy-leaved caladiums, those
best suited to outdoor planting are
those having a predominance of green
in the foliage, as the highly-colored
kind do not do quite as well.

Decline of English Agriculture

Up to about the year 1886 all went
well with English agriculture and the
value of land and rents constantly in
creased. Then came a few wet, ruin
Gus seasons, largely increasing imports
of grain, beef, bacon and cheese from
the United States and a heavy fall in
prices of all kinds of farm products.
What was the cause? Simply that the
Western prairie lands were opened up
by railroads and those big ranch own
ers sent their products East. What
was not needed in the Eastern states
was shipped to English free-trade mar
kets, with the inevitable outcome of
low prices.
In a comparatively short while thou
sands of English farmers were ruined,
land fell 40 per cent in price, rents
had to be lowered fully one-third and
the rural population decreased.

Knew He Had Gone for Good.

Mrs. Hannah Thompson, whose hus-
band until recently had been employed
as a Pullman porter, interrupted the
proceedings in the Harlem court in a
hurried effort to obtain a divorce, says
a New York news letter. She was
quieted down until a case then being
heard was disposed Of, and then ques-
toned by the magistrate. When she
had explained that her husband had
left the previous morning it was sug-
gested by the court that there was no
reason to believe that he would not
return, and that Mrs. Thompson had
better wait before considering any
such move as q divorce action. 'But
I knows that man amt never comm

DAY OF BACHELOR
War Brings a New Dignity to Un-
married Man.
He Who May Be Merely Tolerated In
Time of Peace Is Lionized When
Call to Arms Comes.

War has given the unmarried man
some of the dignity which he lacked
in peace. Ordinarily the bachelor is
tolerated for what he may become
rather than for what he is, observes
q writer in the San Francisco Bulletin.
Mothers would not welcome him into
society nor girls take pleasure in his
attentions if it were thought that he
would always remain a bachelor. The
hope of converting him into a married
man furnishes one of the main incen-
tives of all social activities. AS this
hope declines he becomes more and
more q misfit in world which prides
itself on finding an exactly shaped
corner for everyone of its inhabitants
who is worth troubling about. His
socks are not darned, his buttons are
not sewed on, and the number OF
! Jumps of sugar which he likes in his
coffee. the degree of boiledness which
he demands in his eggs, are nobody's
| business but his own. He is free,
condition which in youth makes him
the envy of his married friends, but in
later years makes him envy them. He
can go anywhere he pleases at any
time he pleases without having even
to argue the matter with woman,
but the reason that no woman cares
what he does. He is free because no
one is interested enough in him to
care to put shackles on him.
There is no fixed place for him. He
stands free of the burden of the bene-
diets endeavors, but at a cost. He
sees men and women doing things for
motives which he cannot understand.
Social forces of various sorts perplex
him because he does not see their hid
den origins. What is plain enough to
any mediocre husband is often hope
less puzzle to even the most thoughtful
bachelor He cannot fully understand
any intangible loyalty because he Is
no longer in contact with the source
of loyalty-the relations between
parents and children. For certain ad-
venture he can be depended upon to
furnish dash and enthusiasm, but for
the steady, grinding work of everyday
life he is inferior to his married
neighbor. Civic progress relies princi-
pally upon the man whose interests
carry over into the next generation and
= are not confined to his own corporal
welfare.
But this somewhat pathetic figure of
the bachelor is wonderfully dignif1ed
by the advent of war. The married
man, in most cases. is handicapped
from fighting. His business is to raise
wheat and children, necessary task
but lacking the appearance of glory
Chivalry beyond the dreams of medic
val knighthood may animate the man
who helps his wife take care of the
babies, preparing their bottles and
hanging out their Clothes but in times
of war he is not a heroic figure. The
demand then is not for men who have
found their places in the world, bu1
for those who have not. The wifeless
landless, footfree person is the stuff
of which armies can be made with the
least possible social loss. Because h
was so forlorn in peace he is lionizet
in war. He marries war and the gov
ernment sews his buttons on and darn
the holes in his socks.

DESTROYING MORNING
GL0RlES
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

The field morning-glory resembles
the cultivated kind and unlike the bind
weed, grows only from seed. We find
four varieties Of morning-glories on
our lowland farms, so the only remedy
Is to prevent the seeding.
The field bindweed is n morning
glory with small flowers and vinelike
stems that entwine closely about any
thing they reach.
The numerous roots send out plants
from every eye. These roots being
spread by the plow or cultivator form
new plants, until in n short time the
cornfeld is completely covered.
They start so early In the spring
That before the corn Is large enough to
cultivate, the rows are so hidden that
they must be cleaned out with hoe be-
fore cultivation is begun.
Another variety called hedge bind
weed, pea-vine, morning-glory has
large funnel-shaped flowers and a more
slender vine than the other varieties.
In the central states we find still an
other Of the prolific pests. This is the
wild sweet potato or man-of-the-earth
vine. It's roots resemble in shape the
cultivated sweet potato, but are much
larger and penetrate far below the
blowing depths.
Cutting the tops does little good and
cutting the roots only multiplies the
number of vines as all pieces of roots
grow the same as the edible sweet Do
tato.
The plow only serves as means of
spreading and transplanting the pieces
of roots, which grow new plants. Gov
ering with salt or injecting sulphuric
acid into the roots are as effective as
any remedy for the weed. which for.
tunately is not so common as the other
varieties of morning-glory.
Hogs are very fond of the roots anc
are a great help in cleaning up badly
Infested ground. Flowing during JULY
md August prevents the plants from
growing again in the same season ant
will make them much less plentiful the
next year.
Lambs also like the vines wonder
fully we'll and few will be left in thu
fall II they are turned on before tht
bndweeds go to seed.
Our experience with bindweeds 1.
that spring plowing and persistent us,
of the cultivator only serve to spreat
the roots over greater areas.
The lowlands where the bindweet
hourishes are also suitable for alfalfa
We find that between the cuttings o
alfalfa the bindweed has no oppor
tunity to seed and in a few years

Worlds SUGAR Production.

The New York Journal of Commerce
is responsible for the following figures
in regard to sugar production: The
worlds production of sugar in 1918
amounted to 81, ,193, 100000 pounds. The
production in the United states, not in
Guiding external possessions, was 2.
026,000,000 pounds; imports from
Hawaii amounted to 1,137, 100000
pounds, from the Philippines to 217,.
100000 pounds, from Porto Rico to
S50,000,000 pounds. From foreign
sources 5,146,O00,000 pounds were re-
ceived. The consumption in the Unit
ed States in 1916 was 7,960,000,000
pounds, or 1918 pounds per capita.
The United States exported 1,6S6,000,-

LOT everyday needs.
For a sweet omelet to add lightness
one or two whites may be added to
the usual combination. Most tastes
prefer the fluffy, foamy, omelet, made
by beating the whites until stiff, then
stirring in the beaten yolks lightly,
after adding a tablespoonful of water
for each egg, and a pinch of salt
Orange rind, finely grated, sprinkled
over the omelet, after it is ready to fold,
using the juice of the orange for the
moisture instead of water and Sec

powdered sugar just before serving.
Almond and Maple OmeIet.-Put a
handful of blanched and halved al
monds into an omelet pan that is ready
for the omelet. Pour in the egg mix
ture and cook well on the bottom, be-
ing careful to run a knife around the
edges, to let the soft egg cook we'll

not to scorch the almonds. Roll and
place in the oven to finish, and pour
hot maple sirup over the omelet just
as it goes to the table. A spoonful
of creamed peas, asparagus, chopped
ham, or many other bits Of fish, flesh OF
fowl may be added to an omelet, en-.
hancing its food value as well as Its
palatability.
Strawberry or raspberry jam spread
over an omelet, just before folding, OIL
fresh berries, using a few mashed with

PERGoLAS PRETTY AND CHEAP

II doesn't take much time or need
not cost any money to have a pretty
pergola In your garden. OF course If
one has the time and the money the
scheme may be widened to any desired
extent and the structure may be as
costly and as elaborate as the heart
wishes. But a simple bit of work,
planned with the eye Of an artist, is
often more fetching than a studied and
costly creation.
Rustic pergolas may be made Of
peeled oak or pine, or any other dura-
Bile branches that are at hand, except
ing birch. Birch will not last beyond
one season. There is no better or
prettier way of training vines than
by making the pergola the base and
there will be many hours of real pleas

SUCCESSFUL TRANSPLANTING

To successfully transplant, a great
deal of care is necessary. Observe
these few important simple rules:
If possible. choose a cloudy day for
this work, or do it in the evening. Wa
ter the plants so that the soil is thor
oughly saturated; then lift the seed
lings carefully with plenty of soil and
gently separate the plants.
With a sharp knife remove about
two-thirds of the leaves and stems and
then puddle the roots. On no account
should the sun reach the roots, even
for moment.
The holes should be ready to receive
the plants. Fill them with water and
set the plants firmly into the soil,
pressing the soil carefully about the
plants-drawing dry soil on top of the
wet soil.
If the sun shines shade the plants
for n few days.

Most pannerous Poisons.

The most dangerous of all poisons
are the toxins of infectious disease !;
the next most dangerous are the toxins
of fatigue. Work, whether of mus
cles or nerves, produces waste prod
ucts, "ashes" which are poisonous, the
so-called fatigue toxins. When these
toxins have piled up in our blood to q
certain pitch we feel tired, so that
fatigue is a form Of self-poisoning.
When we quit work or sleep or take
foo these poisons are neutralized or
burnt up in the system or washed and
breathed out of 1t.

methods viii accomplish anything in

It is the banner of the king of Scots,
