Packing Salt Picked
Green Tomatoes In Brine

Water tight kegs or crooks may be
used to hold picked tomatoes. Wash
thoroughly and steam the kegs or
crooks.
Wash the tomatoes. On the bottom
Of the container place a layer of dill
and handful of mixed spice. Pack

ON BEING CALM.

One of the finest things within reach
OF the average individual is calmness
1t is also profitable.
Calmness is the twin sister of COM
fort. The man or woman who has
formed the habit Of calmness is apt to
be comfortable when others are un-
comfortable.
Nor is it such a difficult matter to
make this habit feel enough at home
to become member of the family.
For calmneSs is about 80 per cent
freedom from fear.
AS rule, the person who is not calm
is afraid of something or somebody,
afraid of self, perhaps. AND that is the
most disconcerting sort of fear.
The way to be calm is to be calm.
When the winds of adversity or dis
appointment or discourageInent are
seeking to ruffle your mental seas keep
remembering that there is no such
thing as comfortable passage with
the waves beating high. So keep calm.

Good Care Best Means
OF Increasing Egg Yield

More careful breeding from high pro-
ducing stock will improve egg produc-
tlon, but it is long time proposition.
While careful breeding is always ad-
visable, what we need now is some
thing that will produce immediate re-
suits.
Better care and management will
give increased production at any time
of year. Careful feeding and the use
OF sour milk and green feed will in
crease production without increasing
feed cost.
Culling out the nonproducers is per-
haps the most effective means of in
creasing the average flock production.
Such culling can continue until the
late fall, when the higher producers
will be automatically selected for breed
ers the coming year. In some cases
laying hens are being marketed be-
cause of the high price of grain. This
is great economic loss and one that
can be easily prevented if birds are
carefully selected.
Whatever means is used, see to it
that maximum egg production is
maintained. The average poultry farm
cannot long endure without high egg
production.-Roy e. Jones, Connecticut
Agricultural College.

The hioher Duties.

All the world complains nowadays of
a press of trivial duties and engage
ments, which prevents their employing
themselves on some higher ground
they know of. But undoubtedly If
they were made of the right stuff to
work on that higher ground, provided
they were released from all those en-
gagements, they would now at once
fulfill the superior engagement and
neglect all the rest as naturally as
they breathe. They would never be
caught saying that they had no time
for this when the dullest man knows
that this is all that he has time for.
No man who acts from a sense of duty
ever puts the lesser duty above the
greater. No man has the desire and
the ability to work on high things, but
he has also the ability to build himself
high staging.-Thoreau.

LONDON OPENS ARMS
TO AMERICAN BOYS
Warmly Welcomes Our Soldiers and
Sailors, Who Teach Craps" to
British Chums.

London.-London is constantly fiiiees
with American soldiers and sailors. Alk
the downtown streets. especially in the
Piccadilly district, are often thronged
with them. Everywhere the Americans
mix with the Australians, Canadians
and Scotchmep in kits, and all agree
that London is fine.
In some places the Brtons were ini-
tiated into the game Of 'craps" and, as
usual, the beginners won. Craps seems;
to have captivated London. The Amer
icans who had not been at liberty since
their departure from the United States,
were lionized. At some corners women
stood handing flowers to the strangers,
who pinned them ON their hats.
The especially warm personal wel-S
come extended the men is notable,
Furloughed Belgians. Frenchmen or
other soldiers of the allies travel
through the city in groups, by them
selves. Every American group is pilot
ed by at least one and sometimes half
a dozen Britons.
Those in London having just been
paid, had pockets full of money, which
they are anxious to spend. They dine
at the best hotels. some of them occu-
pying tables adjoining those at which
British officers are seated.

Save Shoe Leather.

Proper care of shoes will not only do
much to extend their life, but will also
improve their appearance, says the
Farm Journal. Keep the heels squared.
A runover heel forces the counter out
of shape and often breaks it. Avoid
getting leather wet, but when wet and
muddy gently wipe off the mud in
stead of letting it dry. While the
leather is still wet rub in a little warm
oil. The shoe should dry slowly. Do
not place it in hot oven or on hot
stoye, as intense heat and cold are bad
for leather and especially the changes
from one to the other.

Around the House

Juices extracted from berries or
grapes will be found particularly good
for drinks and sauces, while apples,
pears and peaches make agreeably fla
vored sirups.
No housewife who has on hand a
supply of home canned vegetables
ready to serve at few minutes no.
tice will ever regret trouble in learning
to can them.
Meat, eggs, milk, fruits, green vege-
tables and many other foods are nearly
or entirely starch free.
Peas, corn, beans, etc., should never
be cooked in more water than they
will absorb during the cooking, so pre-
serving both flavor and food value.
1t is always task to take off the
grease when one is making gravy in a
hurry. 1t may be done almost instant
ly by going over the top of the pan
with bit of ice. The grease adheres
to the ice and hardens at once. This
applies to soup stock or any hot LIQUID
from which one wishes to separate the
grease without waiting. for it to get
cold.
Hot alum water is an excellent gen.
eral insect destroyer. Put the alum
into hot water and let it boil until It is

hot to all cracks, closets, bedsteads and
all places where any insects are found.
You will find that ants, bedbugs, cock.

stroyed and killed by it.

PERIL OF COAST EROSION.
The ceaseless Warfare Wased by the
Sea Against the Land,

All over the world, in America as
well as in the eastern hemisphere. is
the sea waging a ceaseless warfare
against the land. So serious is the
danger of coast erosions round the Brit
ish isles that people are asking wheth-
er England is not slowly but surely dis
appearing.
Lowestoft has been sorely hit by the
mercileSS waves which are steadily ad-
vancing. Within the last few years the
east coast town has spent considerably
more than 100000 in combating the
sea- which means new promenade.
groynes. breakwaters. piles and huge
cement structures. Only a few years
since tremendous damage was caused
to these then new structures by a
series of gales which wrecked part Of
the promenade. tore down the piles
and breakwaters and made scrap
heap of the cemented parts.
Cromer. too, has suffered terribly
from the seas advancement. Not so
long ago it cost this delightful east
coast town more than f45,0O0 to make
good the damage.
During less than fifty years it il
roughly computed that England must
have lost more than $4,000 acres of
land by sea incursions. The battle
against nature still goes on. But 1t
must be remembered that, while in
some places the waters are advancing,
in other spots the sea is retiring. But
the balance is said to be not altogether
in favor of the latter, and new meth
DDS may have to be devised to meet
and fight the peril.-London Mail

WHAT RECRUITS ARE
TO EXPECT IN CAMP
Bath First Thing, Then Two
Weeks Under Doctors Eye.
Then Some Real Work.

Washington.-An official statement
showing what, the national army re-
cruits may expect when they arrive in
their training camps was given oLt
here. The first thing the recruits will
do is to take thorough bath From
that time on, officials stated, scrupu-
lous cleanliness will be expected of all
recruits when possible.
Arrangements have been made tenn
porarily to assign all recruits to a.
section of the camp where they wilk1
be in touch with men called from
their own neighborhoods. This ar
rangement will be broken up later
when the men are fitted to the various
branches of service according to their
physical qualifications. These assign
ments will be made according to lists
showing their previous occupations,
and they will go to infantry. cavalry.
artillery. machine gun and other units,
according to their fitness. Men from
the same localities will remain in the
same regiments as far as such DISPOSE
ton. of them is possible.
The first two weeks the recruit will
spend largely under the doctors care,
or at least under his watchful eye, ac-
cording to the statement, which says:
He will be given physical exami--
nation and vaccinated for typhoid,
paratyphoid and smallpox Recon-
mendations will then be made to the
company commander for special forms
OF exercise to remedy any slight phys
ical defects The first two weeks Of
training will be occupied almost entire
ly with these special exercises. light
exercises in setting up drills and school
ing of the soldier
During the second ten weeks regu--
lar training will begin. but the work,
will be increased gradually and the di-
vision surgeon and his assistants will
keep watchful eye On the general
physical condition Of the men. Thor
ough instruction in personal hygiene,
sanitation and first aid will be given
during their first two weeks

Protect Eabv'a Ewes.

Do not let the sun shine directly on

We see little children in buggies or go
carts with no protection for the eyes,
making vain effort to turn away
from the sun and, failing in this,
squirting their little faces all out of
shape to protect their ayes. There
should always be a parasol or some
kind Of sunshade over baby's head,
and it should be lined with dark green,

Success In Business

"a very serious question" Thus Car
dinal Gibbons characterizes In a letter
to me a query which 1 have just ad-
dressed to certain representative Phil
adelphians and few others, says q
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger.
IF young man came to you seek
ing your advice, what would you give
him as the first rule of success?"
The answer l received from the great
and good cardinal whom so many thou
sands of Philadelphians love and re-
we're is as follows:
"a young man should first consider
to what vocation he is called by tenn
permanent and inclination, or, rather,
by Divine guidance, and after deciding
on the business or profession he is to
embrace he should devote oil his ener-
gies to reach the goal Of success.
''He should avoid every pleasure and
distraction that would divide or weak
en- his attention to the pursuit of life
which he has chosen.
"And he should avoid the common
error of imagining that success de-
pends on the acquisition of wealth or
fame. No. success is attained by do
ing well what We do and remaining
faithfully at the post of duty.
I'm short, his aim of life should be
to place principle before popularity,
duty before pleasure and Christian
righteousness before expediency. He
should endeavor, in a word, to be
man of upright character, which is
more precious than riches and more
enduring than fame"
