QUESTION OF DISTRIBUTION.

Concerning the peach crop there are reports to the effect that it will be within ten per cent. of normal this year. In some sections 1t is to the effect that 1t will be the largest ever produced while others are locking for an average yield. Frem such estimates it does not appear that high price can be anticipated on the grounds of shortage. The sup ply is apparently going to be equal to, if not larger. than the demand which should mean eonsiderate prices, with ev- erything taken into consideration pro yided there can be secured proper dis tribution.
 Distribution is one of the great trou- bles connected with many fruit crops. Too often is it declared to be fact, even when transportation facilities are adequate, that much of the crop is allow ed to rot on the trees or the ground rather than send it to market. This is a year when labor is high and hard to get but shippers find that it Is next to i'm possible to secure refrigerator cars and the express service is unsatisfactory With such a combination of handicaps the chances of the big crop getting
 
 thing like prices which might be expect ed from big crop are not of the best.
 Just how large a part of the crop car be distributed as it should be in order to give the. consumer the benefit of the yield is 8 question. For short distance hauls there are the auto trucks which are available for service when railroad transportation cannot be depended upon but for the long distance points like the sending of the southern peaches into the north there must be dependence upor the rails and steamers, though the pos abilities of the parcel post may be giver 3 trysut-

the finest examples of fortified city of the seventeenth century, with it's narrow and Spnaish- looking street the houses with barred windows, the quaint corners, and the vistas through open courtyards. There are to be found nipa bungalows of the natives, the quaint old residential palace of the governor, now used for an offics building, and the happy, idle people themselves. In this section the church. es include the imposing relatively new cathedral, the Gothic Santo Domingo, the Jesuit church with it's museum, and the old Augustinian church com pleted in 1905, which has withstood the storms snd earthquakes of the centuries.
 "A unique sight in Manila is the Pace cemetery, which at present has fallen into disuse It is composed of two concentric walls about six feet thick, honeycombed with holes, just large enough for coffin. In the olden days these were leased for periods of five years.
 At the end of that time if no one was sufficiently interested in the remains of an inmate to pay his rent for anoth- CT five years his bones were thrown on heap at the back of the ceme- tery. Imagine the 'shimmy' the flesh on an ancestor worshipping China mans backbone would perform should he beheld the qeue of one of his pro- genitors protruding from this Col gotha!

Manila

Tn connection with the congressional inspection tour of Hawaii the Philip pines and the Orient, the National Ge. ographic society has issued series of bulletins concerning the points to be visited of which the follwing deal- ing with Manial is the first:

AN nrn TANnLE

That the revolt in Bolivia which placed the rebels in control did not contribute to the settlement of the long standing trou- ble between that country and Ghii over the outlet to the sea for Bolivia is indl- cated by the mobilization of an army py the latter country for the purpose or protecting the northern border. This dispute between the countries has been hanging fire for long time regardless of the efforts which have been made to adjust it Wars have been fought and others threatened but Bolivia has never been able to get back its much desired seaport And even at the present time Bolivia has not undergone such growth that it could expect to carry on suc- cessful war against Chi1i in its desire to regain 1t, though the overthrow Of a pro- Chilean president indicates the sen- tinent of the Bollvians.
 That Bolivia has. ambitions for a high way to the sea can be fully appreciated. AS it is now located 1t is shut of from trade communications with the outside world though almost within stone throw of the Pacific.

 cilities are permitted to Bolivia, but Chili is of course in control of it and can ii it desires shut it off. The Bolivians at least feel that they ought to have such benefits as would go with seaport and which would encourage greater devei- opnent of it's natural resources.
 This is one of the worst tangles in South America at the present times Ii is g hotbed of trouble that calls for ad- justment. If it is impossible to reach a settlement amongst themselves that will result in a peaceful future the mat ter. should at least be submitted to arbi- tration. The danger of a bloody test of strength between the neighhors ought to be eliminated and there are reasons te believe that it can be if the facts in the case are dealt with and compromise effected that will relieve the situation and cause no injustice to anyone.

 By U. s. Public Health Service.
Modification of AIuk.

Modification 0f MILK. A young baby cannot readily digest plain cows milk so the milk must be i modified according to the age and size of the baby and it's powers of digestion.

 Cooled boiler water, barley or lime wa 1, ter aer added to dilute cows milk and make it more digestible. Sugar is add ed, not for the sweetening, but to supply i the necessary food value and to make it more nearly like mothers milk. I The prescription which the physician writes for modifying milk is called the | formula. As baby grows older he re- auires a greater quantity of food so the formula must be changed, using more milk and less water. It is on the correct ness of these formulas that baby's health and growth depend Materials: Milk: Fresh whole cows milk. 1 Sugar: Malt sugar preferred, or milk sugar or cane sugar. | Water Cooled boiled water. Ordinarily the milk may be increased by one-half ounce every eight days. The water may be decreased by one-hal1 ounce every eight days. The sugar may be increased by one level teaspoonful ev. cry other day until one ounce is given ir the twenty -four hour quantity. At tht beginning of the second month, the sugal is again increased by one level teaspoo> ful every other day until one and one half ounces are given

 Take the top or any part that is good of an old stocking tahout eight inches) hem one end and run a small rubber in to it just below the knee. Fasten top to elastic together with stocking.
 This has proved success, as the chil- dren wear their stockings out completely in the feet before any holes come in the knees. You can turn the protector around until worn out.

PICTURES IN A uomE.

A dark corner in a room can be con sederably frightened. by a picture glowing with yellows and brilliant blues.
 Pictures on figured wall paper are lost If you are unfortunate enough to have a room with walls papered with large bold design forego pictures entirely, or use only large picture with plenty of white in it.
 k No excuse is possible for the room plastered with pictures While we may not care to go to the extremes of the aesthetic Japanese allowing only one at a time to delight the eye, 1t is certain that any picture of exquisite beauty de- serves to be hung far enough apart from others so that it can be enjoyed The better the picture, the better it deserves to be hung by itself. On the other hand a small picture alone on large wall is not advisable. Let common sense help you to place it low enough and important enough so it will stand out and yet not be lost in an oasis of wall paper.
