He says freezone dries Immediately

Squeeze the juice of two lemons into

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and a medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.

THEY SAY
BY T. e. D.

Coincidence plays some funny
pranks," said Bruce Weeks, of the
customs house, "but I've never seen
anything to lay over this" And he
got down the List of Merchant Yes
sells, found the place, and pointed.
"Here is the barge Peter, built in
Pensacola about fifteen years ago,
and there is the seow Peter, built in
Tacoma, Washington, at the same
time. The two places are about as
far apart as it is possible to get in
the United States. But there's more
to it than a coincidence of names.
The Pensacola Peters tonnage. is
given at 458 tons, and the Tacoma
Peters at 453. A little difference
IN holding the line, whether it was
pulled tight, ETC., would account for
this. The boats are as close. as pos
sible to being the same size. Then
too, look at their register numbers,
one is $4,000, and the other is 54,608,
which means that the applications
must have been received in Washing
ton on the same day-probably IN
the same batch of mail. Barge and
'scow' are interchangeable names, so
they were the same kind of boat.
They must have been planned at the
same time, built the same time, and
finished the same day."

The tense reticence of official Washing

That this reply has been dispatched, re
pressing danger to Americans and AnSeri-
can ships likewise places beyond possib ility
of doubt. Why is not the ultimatum made
public? Simply because President u ilson
hopes that Germany will make an ele venth-
hour repentance; that she will hear the
voice of reason and of humanity Def 1re it is
too late; that American feeling be not I'm
leashed until all hope is lost

others prefer to plant them in the
hull. If planted in the hull they do
not come up regularly, but off and
on for three weeks or month, which
plan is Objectionable. The planter
often chokes up and loses both the
nuts and a considerable part of the
stand. By Smelling, all shriveled and

this is very important to get a good

Any kind of flat cultivation is all
right. Some use Little Joe harrows

worked to keep them clean of grass,
not to make them grow, as in the
case with cotton. 1t is very neces-
sary, however; to keep them clean OF
grass and weeds, for they are not
only twice as expensive to gather in
grass, but you lose a large portion
of the crop pulled off by the grass
and a lot of it will also have to be
stacked with the nuts, which causes
them to keep and thrash badly. After
peanuts begin to form care should be
taken not to pillow too close so as to

we can. The different kinds are
quite like people, having different IN
dividual preferences In general,
however, it will be found that in or
der for them to thrive well they must
have a balanced ration.
They must have something to drink
water. We know that while fresh
fruits deteriorats rapidly, if we dry
these fruits or put them in the sun
until the amount of water present Is
considerably diminished, then the
bacteria cannot destroy them. The
scientist tells US definitely that the
amount Of water necessary is 80 per
cent.
They must have favorable tempera-
ture conditions. They live best at q
temperature about the same as that
of our own bodies. If this temporal
ture is considerably lowered, while
they continue to live, they viii not
develop. We know that ice may con-
tain bacteria and on this account, UNI
less we are very sure Of the source
of our ice, we must be very careful
not to put it directly into the water
which we intend to drink.
IF on the other hand the tempera-
ture is increased beyond a certain
point, these. organisms are destroyed.
There is no phase of the conserve
ton of food that is of greater impor.
lance than that which has to do with
its preservation. The methods OF
food preservation now in use may be
conveniently classified under five
heads: Harmful chemical preserva-
tives, low temperature, drying, heat
and harmless chemical preservatives'

The best pillow we used to get them
up, was the Avery potato digger pillow
made by B. F. Avery & Son, of Louis

what is actually required to get them
up, loan and sandy land being much
easier than stiff heavy soils; for the
latter, recommend. the potato-dig-

Eaxly in the morning it is well to
pillow up and put in very small piles
until the dew is dried, then put them
and the balance of the days work
right in the stack. Lying in the sun
causes the vines to curl up, and gives
trouble in stacking, and does not APP

for such small stacks is they cure

hauled to the Picker without tearing

time and attempt to weave them into an

The old idea which is still believed
IN many places that air causes the
decay of food material and that the
exclusion of this air in some way
helps to keep the food is incorrect.
The bacteriologist has found out
that If he heats the air before intro
ducing it into food materials it no
longer causes. them to spoil. From this
we know that the air itself does not
IN any way cause spelling.
We must keep out the air, however,
because there is present in this air
large numbers of micro organisms
For this reason when we are filling
large jars with fruit cooked outside
the can, we fill the can full so as to
exclude all air, because we know this
air contains some harmful micro or
ganisms.
In order to preserve our foods to
the best advantage we must know
how bacteria, yeasts and moulds live.
We must know the conditions under
which they grow and develop best,
we must know the means by which
they may be killed or their action
stopped. Further than this the house
wife must know how to do this with
the facilities to be found in the ordi-
nary kitchen.
Miero-organisms must have foods
similar to our own. They are fond

ness with which they destroy il.

GIVE THEM JAIL.

The supreme court Judge who sentenced
d factory operator to Sing Sing for failing
to provide fire escapes for his employees,
thirteen of whom lost their lives in recent
fire as result whereof, has given an exam
pie of administering the law that should be
productive of great benefits. Not only will
it warn factory operators to provide proper
fire escapes, but it should make them obey
the other health regulations as we'll.
Every violation of them should be SO pun
ished. But why not prevent instead of
simply avenging? Before the shirt factory
in question was burned, the fire escapes
were known, or should have been known,
to be inadequate Similar violations can
be found today not only in New York, but
in otherr cities as well. Between leopard
ling lives and actual calamity, there is a
difference in ghastliness, but not OF culpa-
bility. Why not give the offenders Jail be-
fore instead of after? Why not provide
the example without the horrible details /?
