WAX GARDEN PRIMER
HOE FOR LIBERTY!

Hoe and hoe, then hoe some more, is the best motto which the home food grower can adopt Eternal hoe ing is the price of good garden, just as eternal vigilance is the price of lob trty Frequent cultivation will cave the gardener from much other labor and it has many advantages, says to- days bulletin from the National War Farden Commission.
 For instance. it will save much watering and is better for the plants. In fact, the hoeing will keep the moisture. which is down in the ground from evaporating. The dust cover or mulch" as it is called, pre- vents this. In addition, hoeing lets in the air and liberates the fertility around the plant roots so that they can get at it and eat it. Another ad- vantage is that hoeing will keep weeds from getting start and con stunning the food in the soil, which should go to the vegetables.
 Hoeing should be done every seven days at least, and always after a rain or after the garden has been watered so as to break up the hard crust which forms on the surface. Do not hoe deeply, as the plant roots are likely to be cut if that is done. About an inch is deep enough.
 A mistake sometimes made is to water the garden a little every day Wait until the plants show that they need water and then give them a good soaking. Once a week is usually enough, even in the dryest weather A few days after rain or an artificial

POSTAL TUBES.

It is quite evident that the propo- sition to purchase the pneumatic tubes in the large cities of the coun- try for the transportation of the mails has been stopped temporarily. There is no question, however. about the ad- visibility of continuing the use of the tubes and the mails will continue to be sent by this quick method rather than to resort to the employment of automobile trucks for the further cloggtng of already congested streets.
 According to the understanding which has been reached in the house the postal tubes will be utilized at least until the fourth of next March and instructions will be given to the interstate commerce commission to conduct an investigation in the mean time to determine the question as to whether the government should make a purchase of them.
 There was determined opposition on the part of the postmaster general to the continued use of the tubes. He

REMEDY FOR INSOMNIA.

Eating before retiring is an un- wholesome habit in most cases, and oftentimes encourages and prolongs insomnia Where a ripe apple or cup of warm milk is agreeable to digestion these are taken when there is desire for food at this time; a glass of cool or warm water makes a good night cap for others.
 Women who are highly strung and nervous oftentimes require some thing warm on retiring in order to take the blood from the brain. Such women should never read anything very in teresting or exciting. since the funct- ions of the brain find it difficult to re- lax within reasonable time.
 The sleeping apartment should be well ventilate with fresh air currents, which, however, should not produce a direct draft over the bed. Imperfect : ventilation that is, too little fresh air, oftentimes causes valentines, es- pecially where the sleeper is accus. toned to a certain amount of fresh air daily and cannot subsist on a meager allotment, even though. the breathing is less frequent during sleep.
 A tepid bath will oftentirnes produce drowsiness, where hot bath proves 4oo stimulating. It remains for every sufferer from insomnia to determine the cause and remedy it before the oc- casional wakefulness develops into a chronic state which paves the way for serious mental disorders.

AGAINST FRIGHTENING.

It is perfectly apparent that if the government is going to restrain the profiteers it must take action against all of them from the top down, or from the bottom up. It would be thoroughly inconsistent if it were to restrain only part of those who are in a position to and actually have been trying to get rich quick off of the prices which the consumer is forced to pay. It would be ridiculous to think of forcing the producer to keep down the price of his goods if the middlemen were to be allowed to say at what price the middleTnen must sell if the retailer can exact any amount he sees fit from the house. holder. The same thing is true re- garding the manufactured goods.
 It. is therefore a wise course which IS being pursued in regulating the prices and seeing that the regulations are respected in all branches of busi- ness. It is the only thing to do in order to overcome the charge of fla yoritism and to protect the little fel- low to whom the increase in prices, whether justified or not. is invariably passed along. Thus when the food administration takes up the prosecu- tion of the retailers for charging ex- cessive prices it is only what has been done regarding those among the pro- ducers, manufacturers and middlemen It is one of the best bits of evidence that profteering is not going to be allowed and that those who think they can engage therein are due for disap- pointmert. It is the only way in which the protection of the consumer can be assured.

CORAL JEWELRY.

One cannot overlook the effective ness of coral with the blue serge and gray worsted costumes Coral is enc of the most charming shades when not overdone in costume, and this season it gives that brightness and contrast that. is essential with the rather sub dued tones of wartime frocks and tailieurs.
 There are long strings of coral beads, which fall over a white or pale bisque waistcoat very effectively, and there are strings of coral and dull gold, to which are attached smart lorgnettes. Coral set arrow pins are thrust through convertible coat col lars and coral tipped hatpins project from spring sailors of lustrous black straw.
 woman lunching at a hotel last week wore taupe suit, a small black lisere turban draped with a long taupe colored veil and black patent leather pumps, with taupe colored spats.
 The only bright note of color in her costume was pair of coral earrings, the spheres of coral set close against her ear lobes beneath waves of dark hair The warm, bright note of coral gave interest and distinction to her whole costume, otherwise quiet and neutral in tone.

AMERICANS IN FRANCE,

Impressive indeed is the announce ment which is made by General March that 300 900 United States soldiers have thus far been sent to Europe and that this country is five months ahead of its programme in this respect How fast our troops are being gotten in a position where they can be of some service in holding back the Hun is indicated by the fact that since his previous statement a week ago the number has been Increased by 1000
 Whether this means that by the end Of this week there will be a million who have crossed the Atlantic from these shores remains to be seen, but it is apparent that the time will not he long before this total is reached under the present plan of forwarding troops.
 Especially gratifying is this accom- plishment not only because of the distance which has to be covered and the fact that the greater part of the trip has to be made by water when all the allied countries have been suffer- ing so seriously from a lack of ship ping, but because of the fact that it has been accomplished in spite of the determined efforts which the Germans have made to prevent it by their sub marine operations. Germany has been resorting. to every means within it's power to so reduce the number ot ships that England could not get suf- ficient foodstuffs to exist. but ip spite of that the British are not only get ting all they need but there are ships enough to carry this great army ot troops and get them to their destina- tion with very small loss. It is ar accomplishment which cannot be de- nied the praise that it deserves.

has consistently maintained that they do not render the service required and had claimed that it could be se- cured better through using motor trucks. Business men in the cities where the tubes are in use have de- clared otherwise. They not only in- sisted that the service should be con- tinued but that 1t should be extended The proposition to purchase the tubes involved a large sum of money botii for acquiring them and for maintain ing and extending them. It is per haps we'll that such expenditure might well be delayed at this time but the
 determination to stick to the service cannot be regarded otherwise than q
 sensible one.

FEDERAL LAND DEVELOPMENT.

Secretary ane of the department Of the interior has been advancing many ideas regarding the bringing not now utilized, or hot used as. ex- tersivelv as they might be to meet the present needs of the country. That some good at least will come from the suggestions is to be anticipated.
 At the present time he is deeply in terested in the question of providing homesteads for the soldiers and sail CTS who return from the war. There will be nothing too good for the fight CTS on their return and while it is thoroughly understood that there will be many who would not give a snap of their finger for the best farm to be had there are others who would welcome the opportunity, and it is the proposal of Secretary Lane that preparations be made for the days af- ter the war.
 To those who would be interested in the farm idea it is his plan to reclaim the three million or sn acres of arid land in the state of Colorado which can be made highly productive sana the hundreds of millions of acres Of cutover swamp lands about the coun- try which could be combined with such homestead land as the govern ment now has so that it could be said to the soldiers and sailors on their return, There is a variety of farms from which to choose, go take your pick"
 There are great chances for land de- velopment in almost every section of the country. and if the farm idea doesn't appeal to the boys" there are plenty of others to whom it ought to if proper arrangements could be made.

TRIMMED GLOVES.

The embroidered gloves and the new color trimmed gloves are so popular that it is difficult to keep a sufficient supply to meet the demand Through out France families for four or more generations keep on making gloves as a business, passing it on from genera tion to generation.
 While this has resulted in the French glove being the best made and often the most original in design it is signicant to not that the really prac- tical heavy glove for universal need is rarely made in France. Such gloves come from England
 As to the new summer glove, the heaviest quality of silk has added touches in wee tucks, sometimes of a collar different from the main glove. Sometimes there is very narrow plating about the top Of the glove.
 Nothing will replace the white chamoisette for general wear.

RECKLESS ENGINE DRIVING.

Once again the country is appalled, by the large number of killed and in- jured in railroad wreck on the Mi chigan Central railroad when a cir GUS train carrying the personnel of the Hagenbach- Wallace show was struck from the rear, while fully pro- tected by signals. by an empty troop train running at high speed which plowed it's way through the pay cars and four coaches causing death and destruction and setting fire to the wreckage so that those who were killed and injured were in many cases badly burned and in some instances to such an extent that recognition is i'm possible.
 Although the Investigations which have been started have not been com pleted, the very fact that it is claim ed that the engineer of the express passed two block signals, two red light signals and the usual fuses planted between the rails by the cir GUS train employees. who were work ing on hot box, makes it evident that tho responsibility rests entirely upon the engine crew of the empty troop train. The indications are that he must have been running wild with his mind occupied solely by the de- sire to reach a certain point in the quickest possible time. otherwise there seems to be no excuse for such dis regard for signals. Had it been but one signal that was disregarded some reason for failure to observe it might have been offered but to pass the whole series of warnings without bringing the train under control indi- oates reckless operation of the most giaring kind. and under such condi- lions no other outcome could be ex- pected.

At either end of this stands small lamp table. There are three chairs, one black lacquer, with an embroid- . cred panel and seat and one walnut framed armchair, upholstered in tap estry. The other furnishings are a lacquered chest, a window seat, one framed portrait and vole curtains, with fringed lambrequins.

TO TEST EGGS.

The freshness Of an egg may be de- termined by placing it in pan of water. If strictly fresh" the egg will lie on it's side on the bottom of the pan. If stale it will stand On end, and if very old will rise to the surface When just a few days old the egg will begin to tilt a trife, and as it ages more and more the angle at which it tilts will increase. Thus the relative freshness may be determined by noting just how it lies in the water.

 MT. Editor: Some days ago-I am told by a very reliable citizen-a per son appeared in Central Village of- fering a Liberty Bond. $50 value, for sale at a great reduction. Unless I have been badly misinformed another duck appeared about that time in town not far away and made the same offer. Last night well dressed stranger claiming New Britain as his home offered me one for $S5. I had only 90 cents in my jeans but quickly hauling out my purse I said, 'I'll go you; let's see the color of that bond" he hesitated and raised the price. insisted even at that figure only to have him crawfish once more. As the train I was to go on was drawing near simply told MT. German assistant what I thought of him and who should post regarding him. His ac- tions proved to my mind that 1 had got his number good and plenty.
 Only a few hours after a lady told me of fellow trying to sell num- Der of war stamps at a similar re- duction.
 Now then; no matter. who this, about 40 years old, neatly dressed in brown striped suit with cap to match, wearing gold trimmed nose glasses and sporting brown moustache that droops as badly as the llaiser's turns upwards is, it will be well for the next fellow that he approaches to not only call his bluff. but muckle on to hlm and hang on until enough get togeth- CT to go through his raiment and un- earth those bonds-if he has them.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Don't think that nothing needs to be done for tooth just because it causes the child no pain. Decayed teeth are ideal breeding places for germs and make a child much more liable to all. sorts of infectious dis eases. If something is not done for them they may cripple his mouth for life or they may cause the glands of his neck to swell up and form ab- scesses. Then. too, the child with de- cayed or painful teeth cannot masti- cate his food properly. and so fails to get the nourishment his growing body demands
