There has been nm enormous increase
in the demand for literature on bee

is so great that 1t will probably ex-

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
in hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach Is q starter OF
untold misery for it's owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeating--it is the dan
ger point. You want to look Out-and
be quick about 1t in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. It is a commonsense
way. No starvation plan Of diet Is

Severe losses by the melon aphis,

duced and in many cases prevented
by the use Of control measures upon
the first appearance of the insect.

Next to the striped cucumber beetle
the melon aphis is the most important
cucumber insect pest and probably the
most serious enemy Of melons and re-
lated crops In this country. It works
quickly, sucking the juices of the
plants and causing them to wlther and
die, often before insect injury is sus7

fingered at the house for about an
hour after the meal and turing that
time young man came to call on the
eldest daughter, a young woman of
perhaps eighteen. The caller eyed me
very suspiciously, although I must
have rese,nbled anything but British
officer. They spoke Flemish and / did
not understand word they said, but
l think they were discussing my prob
able identity. During their conversa-
ton, l had a chance to look around
the room. There were three alto
gether, two fairly large and one
somewhat smaller, about fourteen feet
long and six deep. In this smaller
room there were two double-decked
beds, which were apparently intended
to house the whole family, although
how the whole twelve of them could
sleep in that one room will ever re-
main a mystery to me.
From the kitchen you could walk
directly into the cOw-barn, where two
cows were kept, aud this. as I have
pointed out before, is the usual con-
struction Of the poorer Belgian houses.
I could not make out why the caller
seemed to be so antagonistic to me,
and yet am sure he was arguing with
the family against me. Perhaps the
fact that wasn't wearing wooden
shoes-I doubt whether l could have
obtained pair big enough for me-
had convinced him that I was not
really a Belgian, because there was
nothing about me otherwise which
could have given him that idea.
At that time, and I suppose it is
true today, about "a per cent of the
people in Belgium were wearing
wooden shoes. Among the peasants I
don't believe l ever saw any other
kind of footwear and they are more
common there than they are in Hol-
land. The Dutch wear them more on
account of a lack of leather l was
told that during the coming year prac-
tically all the peasants and poorer
people in Germany, too, will adopt
wooden shoes for farm work, as that
is one direction in which wood can be
for leather without much
loss.
