NEW YORK-Within the last few
days the following items have ap-
peared in the news columns:
Mrs. M. A. Ryan, of Chicago, 100
years old, bakes her family's bread
and would be(ashamed to patronize a
bakery.
Mrs. Elizabeth. Smith, of No. 436
West Forty-second street, eighty-sev-
en- years old, has enrolled to march
in the antf-dry parade July 4.
Maston Christian, of Webster coun-
ty, West Virginia, eighty-one years
old, has just taken his seventh bride.
Thomas H. Farrell, of Cleveland,
eighty years old, is waiting impa-
tiently for warm weather in order to
go swimming.
"These are unusual news oddities
today, but in a few years-possibly
in a decade, such things will be as
commonplace as similar acts by
young people," commented Arthur E.
Stilwell, of No. SIS Fifth avenue.
Mr.. Stilwell, railroad builder, finan-
cier and author of "By Order Of the
Brownies" is spreading the gospel
of live and grow young, asserting
that the abolition of decrepit old age
lies with every man who will believe
in his ability to turn his back on
Father Time.

Edith ran in to call one afternoon
after Charlotte was nearly settled
and as she said to one Of the girls:
Charlotte doesn't seem like the
same girl"
Charlotte and Tony had bought
charming things for their house.
They had made a gala occasion of
the shopping, poking around in old
antique shops, buying lovely old
brocades and queer shaped chairs.
There were open freplaces in all
the rooms and Charlotte reveled in
old brasses and queer Chinese
screens over which dragons were
embroidered in gold and scarlet.
Sometimes Tony wondered where
Charlotte got her quaint ideas of fur
nishings. Surely not in the old farm
house which was filled not with plain
old coloniaA> things. but with ugly
painted bureaus and chairs and stiff
What-nots and carpet rockers.
Charlotte had no idea of periods,
nor did she possess any of a modern

design. But she had imagination.

- x Mrs Hartman was facing
- her son in blank amaze

in her mind she had rehearsed the

She would have to be careful to throw

a careful blend of sweet humility and

pampering Charlotte once she had the

Tony's appearance without his wife
| threw Mrs. Hartman off her guard;
this was thing she had not antici-
| pated happening.
Tony was in his mothers sitting
room and she was studying him
closely. He seemed older, there were
as they met hers and a steadiness
and a firm purpose that she never re-
membered having been there before.
II came home without her." he said.
For the present she will remain in
the country"
"In that awful house that you have
told me about?" Mrs. Hartman threw
up her hands in a gesture of incredu-
lous amazement. Certainly not with
your permiSSion!
Tony did not answer and his moth
er's anger rose. Now See here, Tony,
I want the truth of the matter" She
rose in evaporation and trailed her
soft drapertes over the rugs to where
he was sitting. But as she sat on the
arm of his chair in the old way, she
felt a lack of response in him that
terrified her. Always she had been
al 10 oh 70 inf
him, until that awful night when the
telegram from Westonbury had
brought the news that he had son.
That night he had treated her as an
outsider, and she had not seen him
that her power over him was gone?
She slipped soft arm about his
shoulders, but he squared around to
look at her the better. We've hurt
her, mother, terribly. I've tried in
every way possible to reach her, but
she doesn't care for me any longer.

to make her voice sound entirely
practical, do you mean to tell me
that Charlotte has refused to come

Charlotte has preferred not to

Tony, for being so spineless. All
you have to do Is to assert your au-
thority. She must come back. Heav-
en- knows this matter has gone far
enough, people are talking. Char

nonsense"
"The time to stop peoples talk
was before, mother, now it is too
late. I won't force Charlotte to live

Mrs. Hartman quailed before the

Canning Soup Mixture ana Peas

Several subscribers of The Jour
nal have asked for the recipe for
canning peas. Instead of writing
them personal letters I am giving it
1t in their scrapbooks and have it
ready:
English peas cannot be successful
~ canned without careful attention
to details. They must not be gath
cred just as the hand falls on a pod
II so, they must be carefully looked
over after they are taken to the house
selves and the medium treated the
same way. In blanching them, it
takes only half the time for the ten
der ones. Gather them and she'll i'm
medlately; then put them in a clean
Hour sack or something thin; drop in
the boiling water and let them stay
there about two minutes, dip in the
cold water and empty in the lars.
Never use jar holding more than
a quart, and a pint is better, for they
are hard to process. AS soon as YOU
have one jar filled cover the peas
with cold water, put on the top
and give 1t only turn or two. Set
IN the water you are going to process
1t in and continue that way till you
nave all the peas in their cans or
Jars; then let them boil, really boil,
Tor one hour. Take out, turn the tops
as tight as you can and set in
dark place. Next day unscrew the
top, just as you had it the day before,
and let the peas boil one hour, and
repeat this the next day. If your
closet is light, wrap the jars with pa
per, or you might do as l, put your
hlled jars back in the box they came
in and as you use one wash it and
turn it upside down in the same
place. Then when you have used all
out of that box you know it without
going to the trouble of picking them
up and looking, for the empty ones
will have the bottom up. The third
morning if the water has boiled out,
you may fill with boiling water. See
that they are sealed tight the last
time. 1 turn every can or jar upside
down and leave that way day and

Claims Cruel Hubby
Took Down Her Picture
And Swore at 1t

NEW YORK.-Unusual forms of
cruelty were alleged in the affidavit
of Mrs. Grace Edna Webster. who, in
lthe supreme court withdrew her ap-
plication for alimony in a suit for
separation against Frank Emerson
Webster, a contra actor, of 457 Column
bus avenue. Mrs. Webster alleged
that in 1914 her husband frequently
locked her in bedroom and that
Dne of these imprisonments was for
three weeks. Another act charged
by Mrs. Webster was that Mr.. Webs
ter sometimes brought home steaks
and chops, which he would have
cooked. but of which he refused to
permit his wife to eat.
During the last year, Mrs Webster
continued in her affidavit, it was the
custom of her husband to take down
her picture from the wall and swear
at IT, and then on leaving the house
order his children not to restore the
picture to the wall. Their three
children range in age from twenty
two to twenty-five years.
Mrs. Webster's motion for alimony
was on the calendar. She withdrew
it because of separation agreement
made out of court between the cou-
pie, under which Mr.. Webster trans
,ferred to his wife and sons property
in Queens county.

Mountain is regarded as the most
desirable strain of Irish potatoes
to use for planting for a fall crop
in Georgia. Other strains can, OF
course, be used with considerable
success. L have raised fairly salts
factory crops of the Red Bliss ana
Irish Cobbler, and I would not hest
tate to use them for myself. The
potatoes in question should be. dried
out before they are planted. They
should not be exposed, of course,
to the direct rays of the sun, but
placed in some situation where they
will dry out a part Of the surplus
water they now contain. When they
begin to shrivel they begin to sprout,
and when in this condition they may
be planted whole. AS "a rule we
plant whole potatoes.
For second crop the planting may
be done from the fifteenth of June
on to the first of August. Cover
into the soil to a depth Of five or
six inches. Enrich the land well with
a complete fertilizer. The most i'm
portant thing is to have a load OF
waste material with which you can
mulch the land to a depth of three
or four inches. This helps to keep 1T
cool and retain the moisture which
the potatoes need and so insure a
relatively rapid and uniform germI-
nation.

Charlotte felt intuitively that the
older woman was merely tolerating

closely, tears springing to her eyes.
She came nearer to breaking down
that day than she had since her re-
turn, for she was schooling herself
carefully, and allowed herself no
luxury of emotion. even when she
was alone.
Tony was the one who worried
her most. for his attitude toward
her. although courteouslv consider

about it that frightened her. She
wondered what she would do if he
should suddenly take her in his arms

She had made the baby her excuse,

little to do save buy pretty things
for junior, she could not bear to have
him out Of her sight.
Tony had never mentioned Nick
Fowler to her. and because she al
ways shuddered away from the mem
ory of that awful night when, be-
cause of Nick, Tony had said things
that had driven her away from him,
Charlotte herself had given little
thought to the man who had been
kind TO her. 1t wasn't until she went
to the telephone one afternoon and
heard his slow, lazy voice across the
wire. that she remembered suddenly
the part he had unconsciously played
in her lide.

Rats cost farmers over two hundred mil
lions of dollars a year, through the destruc-
ton of grains, poultry and buildings. Farm
ers need no longer suffer this loss because
they can now kill off all the rats on their
farm in less than a weeks time. This is
possible through the remarkable discovery
Of e. r. Alexander, a Kansas City chemist,
who has perfected a virus which kills rats,

product is not a poison-it can be eaten by
human beings or any animal on the farm as

quick, sure death to rats.

I am a young married woman and

lost my mother more than a year
40. My father is about sixty years
old. AS he is very lonely he often
asks my advice about his marrying
again. He cannot make himself sat-
isfied without a wife and home. He
hasn't approached any one in par
ticular about marrying him, but he
has three widows in view. One is
twenty-nine; she has no children or
property; the other two widows each
have a large number of children and
are around forty-five years of age
They also have a little property. nv
father has about 500 acres of land,
a lot of stock, and is we'll able to
take care of Wife He has good
health and is fair looking man. He
has six children, all grown, and mar
ried. He really prefers a lady near
er his age and no children but has
been unable to find her.
Thanking you in advance.
r. M. L. T.
Perhaps some people would
laugh at the idea, that a person
sixty years old should want to
marry again. I think it is only
natural for them to want COM
partnership. When one is young.
there are many things to occupy
ones time. But an old person
needs companionship and SYM
,pathy. They need some one to
lean upon. Children may be ever
so devoted, but they haven't the
patience and understanding
wife or husband has. Therefore,
if your father is able to support
a wife I advise him to marry.
But he should find one nearer
his age than a very young Wom-
= etc dc r. ha
can scarcely expect young
woman to give him devotion and
sympathy-she may try it for
while, but she will soon tire of
it. An older woman, nearer his
age or in her late forties or fif-
ty years of age would be more
suited to his years.
