l was present one day in one of our large city training schools for teach CTS when lecture was being delivered uponthe valueofagirc ulture
 upo nthe value of agriculture as a na- tional asset. The speaker suddenly asked all those members of the class of 600 stdents who had ever been on a farm to hol dup their right hands. Not more than fifty were raised. He then asked all those who had never seen farm to do the same and about two hundred hands were raised.
 Is it any wonder that there has had to be such a persistent drive to awak en the right interest in our agricul- tural problem of producing enough food for the civilized world? And yet, every unspoiled child loves to dig in the ground, to plant seed; and when there is wise sharing in his interest he gladly waters and tends his little garden plot with real pleasure. The recent success in our school gardens proves this In 1918 the war garden CTS of the countryl planted more than five million plots.
 , Those of us who have much to do with young children know how eager and interested they are in watching the mysterious unfoldment of the leaf buds in the early spring, and in talk ing about and waiting for the appear ance of the seeds which they have planted in pots or window boxes. have seen children as enthusiastic over the first bursting from the ground of the cotyledon of bean which they have planted as if it were the first miracle of creation. If they are given an opportunity to continue their obsedvations of peas, beans ol other seers on to the mature seed bearing plants. so much the better Appreciation of the mystery of nature and the control of her resources as aid as recorded time and probably many thousand years older. On the walls of the Egyptian temples are te be found harvest songs and in the tombs of Egypt are painted agricul- tural secenes, and yet we starve oul children's desires in this direction and break to pices in a few days, when the personal possession of plot o1 ground, or even of a glawsr pot Witf seeds would give them more pleasur- able and lasting interest.
 Whey are we so stupid? It woulc take less time and less nervous force to share a cbild's interest in nature than it does to scold him for the de struction of toys CT the abuse of furni ture both of which are the result o1 the unnatural curbing of his instinc tive desire to express his ideas by changing, transforming and creating new forms.

HEALTH AND HAPPI-
 NESS FROM A CAR

The secret of all the joy and ser in the fact that we consider it our servant, and not we it's slaves.
 If I want to go to my club meet ing, I do not hesitate because the roads are muddy, and the car might be splashed. If the road to my best friends is rough, do not stay away. I go, but I certainly become boost CT for good roads.
 I am great believer in recrea- tion for farm folks and our car has solved this problem entirely. It's an easy thing now for the whole family to pile in the car and go to the city for the great event of the year, the circus. And this is not pleasure alone, for there are fine educational advantages for children in a circus. Often on Saturday afternoon the goodman joins the children and my self in a drive to the county seat. twelve miles away, to see good movie and home again in time for the night duties. Then the lovely trip on hot Sunday afternoons, when, with q box of lunch and full thermos bottle, we all pile in the car and % forth adventuring.
 These trips, all made possible and easy by ownership of car, have meant much to me. They have given me better knowledge of my county. of her resources and beauties, and even her needs. And I do enjoy the friendly greeting with "the man be- side the road" I must not fail to mention the trip to Sunday school and church, and the greater time and ease It gives the busy mother in get ting the children there in time.
 The goodman of the family will say that the car is one of his invalu- able pieces of farm machinery and a great saver of time. fs
 However, am writing from the standpoint of the woman who can run the car, change tires and clean spark plugs, if necessary. and I say for the women and children on the farm, that the ownership of car is the greatest factor for health and happiness and education and a big lger, broader vision of life and Nv ing Mrs. Wharton Chears, in South ern Agriculturist. :

ENGLISH SOCIETY TAKES TEA WITH
 KING AND QUEEN
Brilliant Tho Simple Event, With Rulers Avoiding TiresOme
 IntroductiOns.

Correspondence Associated Press.)
 London, July 27-English society took it's tea this afternoon on the lawn at Buckingham palace, the guest of King George and Queen Mary. It was simple affair, their majesties moving about among their friends, stopping now and then to greet this one or shake hands with that one while on their way from the palace to the pavilian where they too had tea.
 The scene was brilliant. The weather did very well, for while it was cloudy there was no rain. Scores walked and chatted with distinguish ed generals and admirals in full regi- mentals, or went over the political situation with statesmen, of whom there were great many there from every party.
 ! The King and Queen came out from the palace at o'clock, and the nearest band played the national anthem. The whole of the great company stood still, and then began to flow with one accord toward their majesties. From that time for two hours, the garden party" was just 1 what it was intended to be.
 Queen in Sapphire Silk.
 The queen was dressed in strik- ing robe of sapphire brocaded silk, and the Princess Mary, who followed her mother, wore pink and white satin. The king had discarded his familiar field marshals uniform and appeared in the high hat and frock coat of other peace days. He was in good humor, and spent most of his time talking to the soldiers and sail ors who sought him out. The queen paid particular attention to the "new an dthe young," as one who was there put it, but did not neglect her old friends.
 The socially ambitious were not presented in person to their majes- ties-the mere fact of their presence being taken as proof positive they had entered the coveted realm. Also it gave the king and queen more time to enjoy themselves, since it did away with q trying, if spectacular, cere- Imony. z

Says Modern Styles
 Tend to ''Paganism''

Mexico City, July 19.-Modern styles of dress and coiffure were the subject of much criticism recently by Rector Jose Morany del Rio, arch bishop of Mexico, who read an open letter to his parishoners declaiming against extremes in toilet and asking mothers to refrain from appearing in exaggerated costumes and from allowing their children to do so.
 The Archbishop termed modern styles Gan advance toward pagan ism" and recommended that in church at least the women return to the use of the veil and mantle.

Fruit Juices for
 Summer Refreshments
Bv DIR. LORNE A. SUMMERS,
 Director Gymnasium Armour and

Director Gymnasium Armour and Company.
 During the hot summer months, nothing seems so refreshing as a cool drink made from some delicious fruit. Apart from being cooling, these drinks are very valuable to the system as they contain organic acids, mineral salts and fruit-sugar which shelp to keep the body in a healthy condition. Fruit-acids act as stimulant to the peristaltic action of the intes- tines and thereby assist in relieving constipation.
 These acids are found in the form of acid salts, mainly potassium and, when entering the body, they are changed to carbonates which are the means of maintaining the alkal- inity of the blood. The different fruit-acids are: mal- ic, found in apples; tartaric in grapes. citric in lemons and oranges. Pine apple juice is used medicinal fly as digestive ferment. It is simi- lar to pepsin nits action upon pro- tein. The juice of high quality can ined pineapple makes delicious sum- me rheverages and dessert sauces. The most economical way to buy these fruit. acids is to buy the com mercially prepared and bottled fruit juices such as grape-juice, apple- juice. crangeade. etc. These juices are then easily diluted, confined and i iced for serving. These are always ready to serve with the quality pro- ducers' guarantee to the housewife that they will be just right. l Following are a few combinations of fruit acids which will be found excellent summer beverages:
