">THlkE GERMANY THROUGH ARP

coo Flyers to Allied Forces.

New York, May 26.-Conclusion that
the United States must strike Ger
many through the air" has been
reached by the governments aircraft
production board and the Aero Club OF
America as a result of meeting at
tended by officials of the two organi-

BATTLING AGAINST
THE BITTER WEED

At this season of the year there is
likely 70 be a great animosity felt to-
ward the bitter-weed that yellow
towering plant which is spread all
over this section, and is said to be eX
suding throughout the state. Dairy
men and people generally who are
ond of milk despise this weed which
u spite of It's qu.nine tincture seems
o be attractive to the appetite of COWS.
rev persons think OF any measures for
the eradication of this pest. Several
years ago member OF the A. |. c.
suggested that the club take up the
subject of the eradication Of the bit
tor weed as branch of civic improve
ment. This suggestion was laughed
down without any action as too big a
proposition to be handled by Il wo-
man club. Though the author insist
ed that it was no bigger than the
eradication OF the tin can and some
other measures undertaken by clubs
for civic improvement.
A weapon for battling with the bit
r-Weed has been found in more re-
cent years which has proved efectGal
in eliminating this squalid looking
plant which is as aggressive as spar
row, coming into town along the
streets and in every waste corner
even invading door-yards and flower
! gardens. 1t has been found that plant
ing Bermuda grass is a successful
way to combat the bitter-weed The
Bermuda will in one season it is said
route the bi ter weed, and as it aft
fofds good pasturage, is an excellent
substitute for this as we'll as dog-fen-
mel and other useless plants. AS Ber-
muda is one useful plant which viii
thrive outside an enclosure, it would
seem an easy matter to substitute this
/ for the useless bitter weed. However
as has been said of the latter the
woods are full of it, and as 1t has
long lap ahead in the race, it will take
time work and plenty of it to thor
oughly eradicate this obnoxious weed
Property owners should be urged tt
plant Bermuda along the streets ant
in waste places about their premises
this grass besides furnishing pastur
age for the town COW and horse, will
! give touch OF cultivation much de
sired in civic improvement.

THE GARDEN \ MEDICINE CHEST

There are curative properties found
| in many of the ordinary vegetables.
| The man who eats freely OF the pro-
ducts OF his garden has natures reme-
dy without paying for the prescription.
In the normal individual the instinct
i've appetite automatically regulates
the size of the dose In the early
springtime we crave turn!p greens.
That is simply the system calling for
purifier Of the blood, for must lard
and turnip green's contain the proper.
ties of calomel in wholesome form.
Spinach contains iron and the potato
starch, both OF which are absolutely
necessary tor the health OF the body
The onion contains sulphur oil when
is a we'll known remedy for insomnia.
Then there are certain oils in turnips
and parsnips of medical properties.
Cabbage is highly regarded as a pre-,
tentative OF scrofula. The tomato
holds both iron and murcury besides
other active principles OF d chemical
character. Lettuce as everyone knows
will make one eepy SO has the opiate
quality. Okra with its Shiny bulk and
seeds furnishes cure for irritation OF
the mites ines. Rheubarb contains
rhcubar5 and in a nice sauce is much
more pleasant to the taste than thu
dried by the same name. Gucumbers
are cooling to a feverish condition.
Squash are healing. Corn is highly
nutritious, besides being a natural
laxative. Beets come in for their own
share as they are laden With nasIral
sugar which makes fat on the bones
So eat ce cry instead Of buying celery
compound, and eat asparagus and sal
safy to supply the salts, sulphur and
the starch. There is nothing special
about English peas, only high food
value. Right now while the war is on.
