ALL IN ONE CLASS
Classification Bourgeois" FIts
Every American.
In Reality Il 10 q Term Of the Hlohsse
Honor, Though Anarehlstlo Enc
niles Of All Society
viii Deny It.

The average Americans un0er5tduo-
ing of the word bourgeois" Is reflect
ed in a common saying which has
passed from the country newspaper
office into ordinary speech: "You can
run nonpareil newspaper in bour-
peois town." The word, so far as II
is used in its typographical sense (and
pronounced "burjoice'), is synony'
nous with rusticity and lack of enter
prise. For the term in its European,
social sense, signifying trading mid
die class, the average American has
never had any use at all, because ne
had never been aware Of any such d.
vision or classification Of the popula-
ton. If he knows the word at all 1t
is only through his reading Of Euro
pean books or papers. In its con-
tinental European meaning 1t Is en-
tirely strange to our own usage.
But It is now made familiar through
the attacks Of bolshevih and Sparta
Gus people upon all the elements OF
society except their own. Another
word, in their hostile and hating sense,
is flagrantly misused. In strictness,
the term means the trading middle
class citizen. Anciently, it included
artisans as we'll If they dwelt in cities
and lived in comfortable houses. The
word distinguishes certain people from
royalties, from the nobility, the gentry
or at least the upper gentry-on the
one hand, and from country people
and poor town laborers on the other.
It is the same as "burgher" or citizen,
and Shakespeare used "citizen" in ex.
actly the same sense, as when he
makes Jaques speak Of the deer
sweeping along "full of pasture" as
"fat and greasy citizens" or when
Imogen, employing the word adjec-
lively, as we do bourgeois" declares
that she is mot so citizen a wanton
as to seem to die ere sick" In Moli.
ere's Bourgeois Gentilhomme," the
meaning of the word is dramatized IN
q comedy Of the attempted evolution
Gotten accomplished) Of the "citizen'
into the gentleman" But all this
true and ancient meaning Is swept
aside by the bOlshevist, who makes
the word signify all people but him.
self. For him, there are in the world
but the proletariat worker, the money
less industrial wage-receiyer, on the
one hand, and the bourgeois" on the
other, and he makes the hated CLASH
fication include cars and kings
mobiles, merchants, artisans, ever
peasants-all who have accumulated
few rubles or marks, and who hope
by their industry to accumulate a few
more.
We are, then, in America, all bour
geois-except a few agitators on the
East side Of New York and other cen
tiers of imported discomfort. From
Wilson down to the poorest farmer
and including Morgan and Rockefeller
| and the man who sells apples an6
| oranges from handcart, we are moth
ing but bourgeois. 81 thank thee, Jew
for teaching me that word" "Bour
geois" has become term Of the
highest honor. It represents Ameri
cas- triumphant struggle with the
forces of nature.

A good part of the value derived from
the use of some vegetables is in their
vitamines and their beneficial mineral
salts. Unless care is taken to guard
against 1t, the water in which they are
cooked may extract large part Of these
salts, 80 that they are wasted. And un.
skilled cooking may also be wasteful of
the other food constituents of vege.
tables. For example, potatoes when
peeled and then soaked in cold water
before boiling were found to have lost
as to SO per cent. of their heterogeneous
matter and 38 per cent. Of their mineral
salts. Put Immediately into boiling
water the loss was smaller, and boiled
unpeeled the losses were insignificant.
As ordinarily cooked carrots were found
to have lost 40 per cent. of their nitro

ADVICE GIVEN ON
SPRAYING TOBACCO
SPRAYiNG FOR WORMS SHOULD
BE CAREFULLY DONE.

L Mr. E. l.. Ring tobacco { G OF the
/ G. S. & F. and the Southern Railway.
offers the following advice to tobacco
growers:
In all new tobacco sections the bud
worm does considerable da.r - 10
fore they are noticed. They Usually
begin to appear early in May and are
so small at first that they cannot
easily be seen until they have already
! done a lot of damage. The buds Of
/ the largest plants should be examined
/ closely as the easily planting is always
| infested with the bud worms within
! three u four weeks after transplant
! ing. Ii any are noticed arsenical poi
( 1;nS should be applied at once. ANY
'nethod that will get the poison down
! in the bud will be effective. One
good method is to use aresenate OF
lead or Paris green in dry form, mix
cd at the rate Of one pound Of the poi
son to five or six rounds of Stacked
line OF cheap grade of flour or fine
" ground corn meal. Place this mix
ture in old tomato or baking powder
cans in the Bottom Of which several
small holes Save been punched: Use
these boxes to dust the mixture in the
bud. Hold the small leaves near the
bud Oper with one hand and use the
sprinkler with the other hand and
sprinkle the poison directly in the
bud Watch the effects and il any
injury is noticed make the mixture
weaker by. adding lime or flour Dust
1@ma Of this mixture on the bud OF
each plant whether the presence Of
The worm is known Or not, and just
as often as is necessary to keep them
off
This work should not be delayed as
they soon injure the small leaves in
The bud which should develop into
ghe very best part of the plant
Arsenatc Of LEAD applied either iii
spray or powdered form is considered
Better than paris green as it is not as
liable to burn tine leaves and is not az
easily washed Off by the rains.
1t is easier to detect the presence
OF tie horn woTn than the bud worm
a. they are always on the outer leaves
and are destroyed with less difficulty
by spraying.
There are dust guns on the market
that viii very effectively apply arse
nate Of lead in powdered form. Some
use q liquid sprayer with good results.
If a spray is used to make a solution
OF arsenate Of lead or paris green q
the rate CT one hcaping teaspoonful
OF INC poison to Il gallon of water and
he sure to kcep.it well shaken NJ
while spraying as the poison will
quickly settle to the bottom causing
the work to lie less effective.
This is vpr&, important, AS 500"
as the smallest worm is noticed the
plants should be sprayed at once
They are easier to destroy while
small and before they have done any
damage.
tIont delay the completion OF youl
curing barns. Beginners usually lose
enough tobacco in the field to pay the
cost OF the barns 10y not having them
ready in time.
