Portland has lost it's heart to Maud
Powell as "a gracious personality, and
equally SO to her violin art that is
real genius. Each succeeding concert
binds us closer in those bonds Of cor
diality to her as a favOrite artist
one of the worlds greatest. III ''S''', 80 :
Last night another concert at the
Heilig theater Maud Powell demon
strated anew her marked talent in an
enjoyable recital of violin music, and
her skill as programme-maker. She
did not bury us under a avalanche
of violin artistry, but chose to win our
regard with rendition of selections
that have in them beautiful tune.
The big number of the programme
was John Alden Carpenters Sonata
in G Major and played in four intri-
cate movements. 1t, too, has tune,
rather than May technique full of
sudden lightnings. 1t stamps the work
OF Mr.. Carpenter as a serious, master
full composer. and speaks we'll for the
future of sane. coherent, tuneful
American music creation. Carpenter
is an Illinois product. having been
born at Park Ridge, Ill. in 1876. He

NEED NOT TRANSFER GERMS
Disease Will Not Be Transmitted If
Soiled Hands Are Kept Away
From Mouth.
=. NIIlII,
City Clerk

1t is glaringly obvious that the bit
ing of finger nails, the moistening of
fingers in turning the pages of q book,
and similar half-conscous acts greatly
enhance the opportunities for planting
undesirable germs where they can null
tiply," says the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association. "On the
fingers they may be harmless; trans
ferred to the mouth they have wide
field for development.
''The soiling of the hands is impos-
sible to avoid altogether, but the swal-
lowing of germs from ones own s0iled
hands is largely under individual con-
troll
1T may fairly be assumed that the
most useful safeguards against this
form of disease transmission are to be
found in such practices as hand wash
ing and in refraining from using the
tongue or the lips as moistening-pad,
rather than in hysterical attempts at
avoidance of all hand contamination.
Children are best protected through
the incubation of similar desirable
habits at an early age. In a word,
some degree of INSTRUMENTATION is
unavoidable; but the transference of
the communicating germs to the mouth
Is largely under individual control and
is subject to the powerful influence of
early-formed habit"

BLUBBER a DELICIOUS WAND
said to Be OF immensely Pleasant
Taste, When Eaten Raw From
the Seal

1t has always been a mystery to me
why the word "blubber" should carry
such disagreeable connotation to mill
lions of people. though not one in a
million has ever tasted it, writes Viii
hjalmur Stefansson in Harper's.
] am often asked what seal meat
tastes like and am driven to saying
that it tastes like seal meat, for it does
not resemble any commonly known
type of meat. But neither does mutton
resemble any meat known to me, and
still mutton is good eating, and so is
seal. But the fat is much easier to
describe. When the blubber is eaten
raw, as we commonly eat it by prefer
ence, it has a flavor very similar to
that of fresh cows cream, but when
boiled it closely resembles the fat of
mutton. For that reason Mr.. Wilkins,
who came from the sheep district of
Australia, was that member of our
whole expedition who most readily fell
into the eating of the seal fat.
In general most men refrain from
tasting blubber because it is named
blubber, until they become SO fat hun
CRY that they are eventually driven to
trying it, and when they try it, to their
surprise they invariably find it so de-
licious that, if not restrained, they
overeat and, as is well known, overeat-
ing any form of fat causes nausea and
other distressing symptoms, After one
or two experiences of this sort ! am
now careful never to allow a man to
eat all the blubber he wants the first
time he tries it, for if he gets sick he
is almost certain to blame the seal
and not his own gluttony.

Crop Conditions

The Jnly Crop Report of the Bur-

the Minnesota Field Agent, Mr.. Paul

esota crops suffered somewhat in To-
cal areas, principally in the south
western district, the state as a whole
still had, on July /, very good pros
poets of producing a total crop some
what above the average, should con-
ditions remain good until harvest.
With the exception of spring wheat
all the important crops in. Minnesota
show an increase over one month
ago. These Quantitative estimates
are based on condition figures as ap-

The comparative conditions of the

Black Flies by the Million

Those "gnats" which have been
trying to get into your ears and un-
der your clothes recently, are not
gnats but little black blood-sucking
flies They are appearing in great
numbers in various parts of the state
and are vicious pest both to man
and animals. The best way to ward
off their attacks is by the use of
smudge. They can be kept off the
person temporarily, however, by the
use of a repellent composed of two
parts oil of citronella, two parts
spirits of camphor, and one part oil
of cedar Relief from their bite,
which is more persistently annoying
than the bite Of the mosquito, may be
had by rubbing the affected parts
with a strong solution of baking
soda, or by the use of carbolated
vaseline. Animals may be partly
protected by the application of a
mixture of axle grease and kerosene.
If the flies are especially bad, animals
should be protected by the burning
of smudges.
