CHILD SOLVES
FUE QUESTION !.
FOR BAKERIES

Shortage Of fuel oil will not hamper
Honolulu's bread supply J. F. Child,
assistant executive officer of the ter
ritoTial food commission, has solved
the heat question for the bakeries and
as a result about a dozen Chinese and
Portuguese bakers, Who otherwise
might have had to shut up shop, will
continue in business.
BY simply installing a new type o;
burner in the ovens. the bakers will
be able to use'kerosene in place o.
fuel oil, and local oil companies have
not shut down on the supply of ker6,
sene nor given notice that they will
do so. 1t is expected that, in the Ions
run, kerosene will prove a better fuel
than crude oil, as it is said to give
greater heat
The situation as regards the fuel oil
shortage vas serious few days ago
from the standpoint of large num-
Der Of local bakers, says Mr.. Child.
One Chinese baker came to him re-
Gently, with tears in his eyes" as he
puts it, and asked for a solution of the
problem. This baker had been using
oil in his ovens. He also employed
steam to break up the oil and burned
oil in the steam plant Mr.. Child
suggested that he purchase a proper
burner and use kerosene. and that air
instead of steam be utilized to break
up the oil. The baker purchased the
burner and an electric motor to run
the air plant and this new equipment
is reported to be giving excellent ser.
vice.
Later, Mr. Child held conference
with several Chinese and Portuguese
bakers, who had become worried over
the shortage of fuel oil, and suggest

THE GREAT DIVIDE

The woman in the prime of life need
not dread to meet the loss of her
youth, when growing elderly. While
some charms diminish, others should
replace them-charms of experience,
cultivation, wisdom. The great physi-
cal changes met between the fortieth
and fiftieth year are indeed serious,
and are not always we'll borne. In
the strain of modern life, few women
are in condition to meet these changes
without some apprehension of derang-
ed health. But with the excellent
help of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, that old trustworthy
woman's medicine, woman may con.
fidently expect to enter later life as
well and robust as eYer=AdY.

Rat Stronghold.

Within the last generation unique
.at colony has grown up In South
Georgia, group Of bleak and barren
Islands, Of about 1000 square miles,
IN the Atlantic ocean several hundred
miles east of Cape Horn. In the three
months Of the short warm season lit
tie tussock grass grows, and this for
merly supported considerable number
Of rabbits, with few small mammals
of other species. In the last century
the island became the center Of the
whaling industry. With a favorable
summer, several thousand whales are
brought to the nine stations, and the
carcasses, after the outer blubber has
been stripped Off, are set adrift along
the shore. The first rats, escaping
from q sealing vessel, were introduced
% or 30 years ago. They found the
best Of shelter in the peat and tufts Of
grass, and, with an unlimited food
supply In cold storage In the enormous
field of rotting flesh, they have null
tiplied In millions, Notwithstanding the
rigors Of the winters. At the time
when the rat Is being fought as great
menace to the worlds health, the de-
velopment of this rat stronghold offers
problem of peculiar interest.

FEEDING PUMPKINS ON SlRUP
Process Is Simple and Plants Grow
Very Rapidly When They Are
Kept Well Supplied.

Pumpkins, squashes and melons can
be made to grow very rapidly by feed
ing them on slrup, and this feeding
process Is quite simple. A concen-
trated strip is prepared by dissolving
sugar in water In several jars or
crooks. The water may be heated to
make the sugar dissolve more rap
idly, but the sirups must not be al
lower to boil.
A fruit that has well formed, but Is
still young and small, must be chosen.
Two crooks of strip are placed beside
1t, pressed into the earth so that they
shall not be upset. Some pieces OF
cotton string or small lampwieks are
cut long enough to reach from the
squash to the bottom Of the crooks.
With penknife two Sits are. cut into
the thickest part Of the stalk of the
SQUASH and the ends Of the wicks are
inserted. The holes must not connect
with each other or go through the
stalk. The other ends of the wicks
are dropped into the strip. Then you
have only to wait and watch the
squosh grow.
1t is necessary to stir the strip once
In a while and to see chat there is
always plenty Of 1t In the crooks.

INJURY BY c0RN-EAR WORMS
Kansas Agricultural cosIege Finds u
Possible to Control Little Pest
by Spraying.

Nearly all roasting ears on the mar
ket In recent years have been injured
by the corn-ear worm, and those known
to be free from the injury can be sold
at from to 10 cents more per dozen.
For six years the department Of en-
tomology Of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college and experiment station
has been studying the worm and has
found that large proportion Of the
eggs deposited In the summer are
placed on the fresh corn silks. From
these eggs the worms that injure the
ears originate. The young larvae be-
gin feeding on the silks and eat their
way down into the ear. 1t is, there
fore, possible to control much of the
injury by keeping the silks sprayed
during the silking period.
Powdered arsenate Of lead has been
found to be the most efficient poison.
A 70 per cent mixture of arsenate of
lead, with air-slaked lime or land plas-
ter Is practically as good as the poison
alone. The dust Is shaken upon the
silks from an ordinary cheesecloth bag
or flour sack. Under average weather
conditions four or five applications at
intervals Of three or four days are suf-
ficient.

Uncle Sam. He gives the government
the cash in the form of $500 bill,
and receives In return bond "a prom

this transaction Uncle Sam buys from
Mr.. Smith $500 worth of shoes for the
soldiers and pays for them. let us say,
with the Identical $500 bill which he
borrowed rom Mr.. Smith. Now IL
Uncle Sam Is still borrowing money,
Mr.. Smith, IL he desires to do so, can
lend his $500 bill to the government q
second time, and receive in exchange
a second bond for $500. Thus our $500
bill has served as the means of bor-
rowing $1,000. OF course, by repeat
ing the transaction often enough, the
$500 bill could be used for borrowing
many thousands of dollars.

Type of Beet Found In Many Fields.
to prove that by careful and pains
taking work such strains can be pro-
duced.
No intelligent study of cultural
methods In the production of sugar
beets or of problems involving a
comparison of varieties can be made
until uniform and fixed varieties with
which to work are available.
The production of strains having
roots Of uniform size and habit of
growth and capable of yielding seed
stalks uniform In habit of growth
and maturity should make possible
improved cultural methods, especially
In the planting of the roots and in
the harvesting Of the seed, that will
reduce greatly the cost Of production.
After seed harvest the beet roots
and stalks remain in the ground In q
sound and palatable condition for
live stock feed. The present practice
Is to feed these roots in the field,
utilizing them as pasture.
The beet-sugar industry In the
United States is composed of three
distinct branches, namely, beet-seed
production. sugar-beet growing, and
-beet-sugar extraction and refining.
They are so linked that each ia de-
pendent upon the others, not only for
Its complete success but for its very
existence. Without seed the sugar.
beet industry, in which more than
10000 American farmers are directly
interested, could not exist, and with
out beets the "a beet-sugar mills now
standing, with an invested capital Of
more than $1O0,O00,00O, would be idle.
The beet-sugar industry Is, of course,
the foundation upon which sugar
beet growing and beet-sugar extrac.
ton rests. Because Of its fundamen-
tai character, 1t Is surprising that
sugar-beet seed production in this
country has not received more gen.
eral and more earnest attention in the
past. The two primary causes that
have operated against the development
Of the sugar-beet seed industry In this
country were Q) the fact that suf-
ficient quantity of seed to meet our re-
quirements was easily obtainable from
European countries at q reasonable
price and (2) the prevailing idea that
conditions in this country, from the
standpoint either Of labor cost or of
climate, would not permit the success
full development Of the seed industry In
the United States. Recent experiences,
however, have shown the folly Of de-
pending upon foreign countries for our
beet-seed supply, while experiments
extending over many years have
proved the falsity Of the opinion rela-
tive to labor and climatic conditions.
