PREVENTING scALD IS EASY
Occasional Renewal Of Air of Storage
Room Is Recommended by Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Apple scald of green and ripe fruit
in storage can be entirely and easily
prevented by an occasional renewal of
the air of the storage room, according
to the United States department of ag-
riculture. Apples are living organ
isms which breathe and like other liv-
ing things, have ventilation require
ments which. If not met, lead to smoth-
ering. Accommodations of carbon diox-
ide (carbonic acid gas) produced by
the apples I'm storage, the lack Of air
movement in the storage room, and
the depositing Of moisture on the fruit
are all declared TO be factors that may
play part In the production of scald.
Experiments indicate that high hui
midities may be maintained in storage
without the development of scald, and
prove conclusively that an occasional
renewal of the air of the storage room
will completely prevent the disease.
Scalded fruit is more mealy and poorer
In flavor than unscalded. Scald, in

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

The incidents of our special lesson
verses are Jesus sorrowful announce
ment that one OF them would betray
Hin, and his eating the passover, and
institution of the supper by which his
redeemed show forth his death till he
come; but we must try to consider the
whole chapter. Verses II to 81 take Us
to the upper room where they kept the
passover; and all that he did and said
that last evening that he spent with
them before he suffered Is recorded
more fully In Luke % :7-38 and John
13 to II inclusive. The rest Of the les
son chapter tells Of Gethsemane and
his arrest and his being brought be
fore the high priest and the council.
May the Lord give us what he would
have US to receive from this wonderful
portion. AS to the place where they
kept the passover, some one has sug-
gested that IL may have been the home
of Mary the mother of Mark, whose
husband was probably still alive at
that time, and Mark may have been
the man bearing the pitcher of watt +.
(xee an article on page of July, 1917,
Kingdom Tidlngs) Luke says that Pc
ter and John were sent TO prepare the
passover. One thing that interests me
much In this record, as well as in that
of the ass colt, is that they found II
just as he told them Tvs. 10; Luke
1922, and my heart is often saying,
II believe God. that 1t shall be even as
it was told me" (Acts q :25). He had
a great desire to eat that passover with
them, for he would not eat Ii again
until fulfilled In the Kingdom of God
duke % 1870. This leads us back
to the night in Egypt when the nation
was born, and when there was safety
only where he saw the blood, and
points us onward to the rebirth of the
nation at his coming according to Mic.
7:15, 10: Jer. 1914 10. Some Of the
sad events In that room that evening
were the presence Of the betrayer and
the strife among the disciples as to
which Of them should be the greatest
