Reseeding WinterkilIed Oats.

The extreme cold weather in the south
ern states during the first two weeks in
February caused much winterkilling OF
sown oats. The yield from fall-sown
oats is so much better than from spring
sown oats, however, that il will not be
profitable TO resow to spring oats unless
much more than half the fall-sown oats
were winterkilled, according TO the Unit
ed States department of agriculture. 1t
is best to delay reseeiing a few days
until it can be determined definitely
whether or not there is a sufficient stand
to Justify leaving the crop to mature.
Fields where il is certain that this crop
was destroyed by cold may now be sown
to spring oats with fair prospects for
profitable yields IL the seeding is done
in early March. Only the most fertile
land should be sown to oats in the
spring, as this crop will not yield well
from spring seeding on poor land.
The best varieties to SOW al this time
are Burt, Fulghum. Red RustprOof, and
Appler The land should not be plowed,
but the surface should be loosened by
disking or through narrowing and the
seed drilled II q grain drill Is not
available the seed may be sown broad

firmly and evenly under the chin for five

Is singing sensation.
6. To reduce double chin or super
fluous flesh do not pat for more than five
minutes at a time, for too violent or
long continued exercise takes away firm
ness. The reduction must be gradual.

properly. Soap contains I've and other
injurious ingredients which in time in.
iure the delicate skin, especially the ex
posed parts where the pigment is more
active. A cleansing cream ~srings the
dirt from the pores effectively, and the
cream selected should be oily but free
from animal fats (which cause hair to
grow and the use should be followed by
a mild astringent, for that takes away
the oiliness and closes the pores.
s. The ordinary facial massage is bad,
because it does not cause the blood to
carry the proper nourishment to neglect
ed parts. But the firm patting does this
very thing. 1t makes the sallow skin
active, allowing it to eliminate the waste.
The large pores disappear. blackhcads
cannot thrive and the clogged condition
ceases. The old fashioned massage does
stretch and loosen the skin and tissues
under it. The patting and cold appica-
lions never leave the muscles loose and
relaxed. Dorothy Dexter.

"Hosettes" Are Here.

Hail to hosettes We have had the
long stocking and the short sock, but
now come intermediate coverings for ped
al extremities. 1t need not be said that
they have been devised for the female
sex. Hosettes are described as women's
half hose, l41a inches long, with roll
top two inches wide. A concealed garter
or elastic affords proper support. Pop.
ularity is expected for them for beach
and sports wear, as they seem to have
caught the fancy of many persons wher-
ever exploited. A variety of plain and
fancy and striped colors, with the Rem
brandt rib, Roman stripe and picturesque
combinations, are presented for choice.
So now there are hose, short hose and
hosettes.- Brooklyn Standard Union.

LUNG TUBERCULOSIS GAINED
But Cancer Stir Takes Off the Most in
Vermont.

Secretary c. +. Dalton of the Vermont
state board OF health reports that ty-
phoid fever had the lowest death rate in
1916 ever reported in Vermont, only "a
deaths resulting from the disease, as
against AZ in 1916. There was no epi-
demic of typhoid during the year, l65
cases being reported, as compared with
800 the preceding year.
The epidemic of measles which began
last fall brought the total number of
cases of this disease up to 1858. with %
deaths. Whooping cough shows up some
what stronger than usual, the total num-
her of cases reported being 2,54S, with IS
deaths.
The widespread epidemic Of grip in 4
state last year resulted in $40 deaths.
There were 474 deaths from pneumonia,
as compared with 3Sl in the preceding
year. There were only % deaths out of
446 cases of diphtheria reported this be
ing the smallest number in any year with
the exception OF 1912.
Scarlet fever was prevalent throughout
the state, with 704 cases reported and l3
deaths, which was a greater number than
for IA years with the exception of 1914,
when there were IL deaths.
tuberculosis of the lungs showed de-
cided increase, there being 800 deaths in
1916 as compared with 1853 in 1915 The
epidemic of grip is held responsible in a
degree for this increase in the death rate.
There were SO deaths from other forms
of tuberculosis.
Vermont continued to hold its place as
the state having the largest death rate
from cancer. Deaths from all forms of
cancer totaled 40S as compared with 3Sl
in 1915, last year being the first in which
the 400 mark was passed.
Chronic diseases contributed largely to
the total number of deaths, 452 having
resulted from apoplexy, 720 from organic
heart disease and S25 from Bright's dis
ease.

CALL DOWN WREATH
ON VENIZELOS
People of Old Greece Are Going Through
Medieval Ceremony Every Sunday
Former Prime Minister
Is Reproached

Calamata, Greece, March l0.-The me-
dieval ceremony of "Anathema" against
Elephtherios Venizelos, former prime
minister OF Greece, is still continuing in
the lesser towns of old Greece. Every
Sunday in villages scattered here and
there over the country, where the eere-
mony has not yet taken place, the people
come together, generally under the lead.
ership of the local priest, and go through
the age-old, semi-religious act of calling
down divine wrath upon "Elephtherios
VenizeIos, who has imprisoned priests
and who has plotted against the royal
house and against the country" as the
wording of the anathema runs.
The anathema ceremony is by no means
an unusual one in Greece to-day, espe-
ciaIly in the outer islands and the rural
districts. 1t is so usual indeed that the
word "anathema' appears in the current
Greek English conversation books, under
the heading of common religious terms
Nor is it the first time that Nenizelos
has been mathematical. According TO
General Vases, who worked simultane
ously with Venizelos for the freedom OF
Crete, the ceremony was pronounced
against Venizelos by the Cretans some
20 years ago
On the present occasion the ceremonies
have been more widespread. Few vii
lagos now remain in old Greece where
the anathema against the Cretan has not
been pronounced, with all the forms of
the days when Alcibiades, having desert
ed the Athenians for their Spartan en-
emies some % centuries ago, was stoned
in spirit after his departure. In each in

Beauty Hints for Women.

| Miss Dorothy Gray, an expert on beau
| ty with a studio in New York. gives
! these rules for women, according to the
! New York Sun:
|. Get as much outdoor exercise as
possible. and eat regularly, of course. for
true beauty is founded on good digestion.
Drink two glasses of water between all
meals. The old-time glass of hot water
! before breakfast cannot be improved on.
2. Apply a nourishing skin food, and
then use the two middle fingers to pat
gently with an upward movement from
the chin to the nose, on either side Of
the mouth, around the contour of the
jaw and the muscle in front of the ears.
This muscle is important, as its frmness
does the most toward holding up the en-
tire face and takes away the relaxed
condition of the chin. which is the bane
of so many women. Use the back of the
hand to pat, on either side, under the
chin, holding the head in normal posi-
ton.
3. Tap gently around the eyes and
forehead. After removing the cream
which has not been absorbed with soft
tissue or cloth, run ice over the face
quickly; dry, and dust the skin with
healing powder.
4. For tired eyes, wiring pad of alb
sorbent cotton in cold water and place
over the eyes, renewing as it becomes
warm. A good eye wash can be made
with a level teaspoonful of boric acid
and quart of distilled water. The eyes
should be cleaned night and morning
The eye cup is not so good as the eye
dropper, which is far more sanitary,
5. The so-called meek exercises" are
not good. They not only make the neck
thick and masculine and the cords on
either side more prominent, but they put

trip to and from India. From Indian
ports to Port Said there is, of course,
practically no danger to be encountered
from hostile warcraft but once the Suez
canal has been passed on the homeward
voyage ship is in constant peril.
A day or two after the ship left Bonn
bay the passengers were summoned to
the ships boats to which they had been
assigned, and the chief officer made the
rounds, delivering instructions which

Germany Planned Breaking

antee
PLOT TO MISUSE
FLAG DENIED
British Minister Demands
Berlin Publish Atti-
tude on Relief

London, March l0.-Sir Maurice dc
Bunsen, under secretary of the foreign
office, in another statement to the Asso.
ciated Press Thursday referred to the
warning given to the American Commits
sion for Relief in Belgium that all its
ships must leave British ports by the
evening of Feb. a, and asks: as that fair
notice of cancellation of solemn guar
antee by sovereign government in the
shape of written safe conducts
"But | have more information that
will astonish you" he continues. "In
this German warning the commission was
advised to send its ships by the north
about route, where they would be safe.
Yet, over month later, on March 5, che
Germans told the relief commission that
they would be unable to grant safe con-
duct to relief ships at Rotterdam because
they were unable to declare that the
northabout route was absolutely safe
from torpedoing."
The under secretary's statement was
intended in some measure as a reioinder
TO the statement issued by the German
legation at The Hague, and Sir Maurice
protested that it was useless for the Ger
mans to try to hinder the relief work by
accusing British ships of the desire to
disguise themselves under the commits
sion's flag, since the British governments
guarantee that it would not allow the
commissions flag to be abused Stands
to-day and will never be violated"
Sir Maurice continues: Instead OF
such shutting, we demand before the
world that the German government shall
declare whether or not it is taking steps
to make possible the continuance of the
relief work, whether or not it can control
its own submarines, whether or not neu-
trail ships can sail safely in the service of
the commission by the route it tGer-
laid down for them at the begin
ming of February, only to declare that it
was stiil unsafe at the beginning Of
March"
