BAN ON OLIVE OIL EXPORTS
Royal Order Calls Halt on Shipments Except Essentials, From Spain
 to United States.

Olive oil exports from Spain, of which large quantities formerly were shipped both directly and via France and Italy to the United States and other foreign markets. from Barcelona and Seville, are prohibited by q recent royal order, states commerce reports. In southern Spain and in the region of Catalonia, the olive oil industry has been an important source of revenue to the growers who export to foreign refineries. whence the oil was often shipped to the United States, as of really non-Spanish production. Re gently the direct exports of the com modity from Spain to the United States have increased considerably with the development of the American taste for the oil produced in Spain.
 There is no embargo on exports of essential oils such as pennyroyal, rose mary. sage. thyme and lavender, the Spanish production of which is large ly destined for foreign markets, and shipment of which is made direct from Spain to the United States, France, and elsewhere These oils are pro- duced especially in the regions of Mur- cia and Malaga where many medical herbs are grown for domestic con sumption and export. As compara- lively little use is made in Spain of several oils derived from the plants mentioned and other oil-producing herbs the local market is limited; but the industry may be developed indefi- nitely in view of the favorable eli- matte conditions of those sections of Spain where the plants flourish. In 1916 the declared exports of essential oils from Malaga to the United States were valued at $176,164; those from Almeria, at $21, ,920; and those from Barcelona, at $13.22

USE GLASS FOR FALSE HAIR
Material Also Converted Into Cotton and Wool and Pressed Into
 Sheets or Pads.

Tn Venice they are spinning glass for commercial uses, converting it into glass cotton and glass wool pressed into sheets or pads, says the Popular Science Monthly. Although the prin' cipal use of the product at present is for insulation, we have heard the word of the Italian makers, that it serves admirably for making artificial hair. wigs. perukes, dolls hair, Santa Claus boards and other hirsute adornments.
 The processes of manufacture are simple Solid glass rods. made of pure American soda that contains no adul- iteration of lead or other metal, are worked into fluff under a Bunsen burner and blowpipe. A bicycle wheel minus the tire, winds up the threads. If the threads are sufficiently fine they curl and fluff out like wool.
 The product is now marketed in three forms-glass cotton, glass wool. and Tn sheets about ene-half inch thick which resemble white felt pads. In the last form mentioned It may be used to make separators for aeeumulators of electricity.

Trade Preparedness in Chile.

By proclamation the president of Chile has appointed q committee which will investigate and report on the com mercial and industrial relation of Chile with the rest of the world espe- cially in so far as these have been af- fected by the European war. The fol- lowing is quoted from the proclama- tion:
 There is herewith appointed a com mittee which shall investigate the situ- ation in which the industries and com merce of Chile will probably find them- selves upon the re-establishment of peace and of competition between the products of national industry and those imported from abroad, and to recom- mend to the government such meas- ures as the commission may deem ad- visable for the purpose of protecting these in their present advanced condi- ton and to encourage their further de- velopment.

Glad of the Accident.

A bachelor was recently. travelling in a tramcar with a married couple of his acquaintance. It was rainy morn ing. The young wife had her um- brella well out of the way of those who passed down the car, but an awll- ward boy on his way to the door man aged to fall over 1t and break it.
 "Oh, Pm so sorry" stammered the lad.
 "Never mind; Pm sure it wasn't your fault" and the lady smiled at him without trace of anger or even irritation on her face.
 "Well, l must say your wife Is m angel p exclaimed . the bachelor, warmly. Most women would have withered that clumsy fellow with a look, if they hadn't scorched him with words"

poIIies for Little Jan Girls.

In February each year there is birthday celebration in honor of all lit tie Japanese girls. To call this cele- bration doll festival' would not be a misnomer, for it is then that every girl receives dolls from all of her rela- tives and friends. It Is then. too. says the Galveston Tribune that the mother allows her little girls to feast their eyes upon dolls that have been in the family for many generations. There are no birthday poles put up for the little girls, but they get many gifts and "oodles" of things to eat. When the birthday celebration comes to q close, all of the best dolls little girl gets are put away carefully. and she may not so much as take Il peep at them again until February comes once more and there is another celebration.

as possible, as the sooner the seeds are got in, with safety, the better the chances will be for their developing thte shapely, usabe roots of good size.
 As a matter of fact, we never see parsnips too big, provided the roots are clean and shapely. but undersized specimens with possible prongs to their bodies are hardly worth the dig ging.
 Most of the pronging, possibly all of It, arises from the prepared oil. If white sand can be had to incorporate with the soil. it should be freely used
 In digging, two spits at least are necessary, and if the grower chooses, to go another foot he will be repait for his trouble.
 After digging dry day and dry soil should be given for working the whole with a digging fork; after that some little consolidation of the surface will be necessary to prevent sinking into hollows during the process of sowing
 For this the surface must be suffi- eiently dry to prevent all suspicion of clinging to the feet, and if you cannot have those happy conditions just at the time wanted, you must wait for them
 Drills about two inches in depth should be drawn for the seeds, and as We want really food roots, the drills may well be drawn IS inches apart.
 In these the seeds should be sown thinly, and the error of putting in 30 seeds where but one is wanted should not be so common. Allowance must of course, be made for failures, but two seeds should never touch. or there is trouble for the thinner, who, in pull ing one is apt to pull both.
 The onion is a deeper roofing sub iect than many are aware of and al- though all we want is above ground, to get that good the roots go down into it, so deep tillage in this case is desirable.
 If the ground is we'll worked, under dry conditions, it can be thoroughly firmed, and it can hardly be too firm or too much consolidated for onions prior to sowing.
 The drills may be drawn as for parsnips lut closer together. one foot apart being ample, and after sowing with a thoroughly dry surface the roller may be brought into requisition, or failing that, we'll walked and final ly smoothed over with the back of a rake.

EARLY WORK IN THE BULB
 GARDEN
By U.M. BENNINGTON.

By L. M. B6NNlN lNG ON.
 With the first warm days the bulb ous plants spring up and many begin her has tried in vain to push them back until warm weather.
 As rule it is best to let nature be dictator. Hardy bulbs will endure lots of cold; and if they dc sometimes get hopeleSsly nipped of flower buds by undue haste, there is more frequently serious damage done to the roots by trying to curb the growth.
 Do not be in hurry to remove the leaves which should have been their winter eoverlet. Loosen them up gradually, taking care that the plants are not smothering. If the weather continues fine. work the loose leaves a little more into the soil every day, thus gradually making the change.
 If you wish to mark choice speci- men. tie string around it while in bloom. The flowers come and go so rapidly that one must be prompt to be sure of marking the prize.
 Some cut the tops from hyacinths as soon as the leaves turn yellow, re- move them and plant to annuals. This Is a very neat way of getting rid of the buhs-and most effeetual as rule. But if you wish hyaeinths an- other year. there is a better way, un- less you can afford to purchase new bulbs.
 Those diseolored leaves are neces- sity to the plant which Is ripening the bulbs and if they cannot be tolerated permissible compromise is to trans plant the bulbs to some out-of- -the-way corner of the yard, where they can ripen in peace.
 They may then he dried and packed away for autumn planting.
 It is better to replant the hardy bulbs at least once in two or three years. else they become too thickly matted. Besides. the soil needs a re- newal of fertilizer; and this can never be done so well as when the bed Is empty.
 There Is often complaint that the old-fashioned double-white Norcissus Poeticus blasts in the bud This is usually remedied by resetting the bulbs, which have become matted to- gether.
 If you have a number of varieties of tulips and more time or patience than money to buy new varieties. there is often much pleasure in growing tulips from seed Some of the soft shades in old rose have been in our own gar den evolved from the crosS-fertiliZa- ton of standard forms. There is pleasure. too. in watching the unfold ing of the unknown. New varieties purchased of seedmen are always an nounced and their beauties described; i; but these seedlings are positively new, and some of them are strikingly beau tifuI

He had made an arrangement at New York to meet q chum from his own ship, but he had forgotten the number of the house, and he did not care to knock at every door until he came to the right one.
 A rag-and-bone man with a bugle passed along. Jack seized the bugle.

 Then he blew the grog call of the navy. AS the last note died away window was hastily flung up and a sailors head was thrust out.

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND
 HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line represent the pick of our American youth. One in four of our boys at home was sick, re- jected because of physical deficiency. Many times the kidneys were to blame.
 If we wish to prevent old age coming on too soon, or if we want to increase our chances for a long life. pr. Pierce of the Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N. r.. says that you should drink plenty of water daily before meals. Then procure at your nearest drug store Anuric (double . strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric sacid out and cures backache and rheuma- tism.
 If we wish to keep our kidneys in the best condition a diet of milk and vege- tables, with only little meat once a day, is the most suitable. Drink plenty of pure water take Anuric three times day for a month. It sells for COG.
 Step into the drug store and ask for a sixty-cent package of Anuric, or send pr. Pierce 1oc for trial pkg, Anuric. many times more potent than lithia, eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar. A abort trial will convince you.
