Blood is strong and full Of life-gIv-

strength because there are not enough
red cells in the blood. 1t is thin and

body tired, weak, and sickly.

Apples for English Market.

A large proportion of the apples sup
piled to the English market come from
the Canadian fruit districts Of Onta-
rio, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island, where the har-
vest of Baldwins Kings, Newton Pip
pins, Spies, McIntoshes and Russets
this season is unusually heavy. With
the exception of Maine, however,
where there has been a phenomenally
large yield, the New England apple
crop has been light.
The western apples, such as Wine
sap. Oregon Pippin, Spitzenberg and
Delicious, figure conspicuously in Brit
ish fruit shops, the Winesap, like the
Newtown Pippin, having won the ap-
prevail Of royalty. When King George,
as prince of Wales, visited Canada
about twenty years ago he was so
much impressed by this apple that he
ordered a case of Winesaps to be sent
to Marlborough house every season,
direct from the Northwest.

Where Wives Sell by Weight.

Prince Hosanna of Cape Colony,
Africa, arrived at Baton Rouge, La,
recently. He is visiting seven of his
sisters who are now at the Southern
university. Prince Hosanna's father,
who is the king Of the Zulu tribe, in
southern Africa, has so wives and "a
children. Ten head Of cattle is the
legal price of a wife in Zululand.
However, they are valued according to
size. A stout woman sells for 200
head Of cattle, whereas the smaller
ones cost only two or three head Of
cattle. A black, f1at-nosed negress can
be purchased for goat, whereas a
light complexioned woman is very
costly. Prince Hosanna has nine
wives, but says he will sell some of
them to his brothers upon his return
to Africa. The king owns large
plantation and his wives do the farm
work, while his children raise the cat
tie.

HOT LUNCHES SERVED
IN COUNTRY SCHOOLS

While the carrying Of lunches Is by

still others, particularly where large
attendance and many teachers and
other workers make subdivision Of
labor comparatively easy matter, 1t
may be possible for the school to estab-
fish and maintain lunch rooms.
1t is in the small country school with
only one teacher that the midday meal
presents the most difficult problems.
The common custom is still for the pu-

is growing tendency to try the ex-

Livino Barometers.

Prairie dogs seem to have some kind
of foreknowledge of the weather, if
observers at the New York Geological
park are right. Now and then the
large members of the colony loosen
the earth round their mounds with
their forefeet, then shovel the soil up
ward with their hind feet. Other mem
bers work inside the burrow, throwing
out earth to aid in the building. When
a dyke has been built, the animals
stamp the earth down with their heads

lions invariably take place before a
storm, the obvious purpose is to build
a dam that will keep the water from
running into the burrow.

Give BURIAL DOLE
Odd Custom Which Has Long
Prevailed in Wales.
Attendants at Funeral Toss Silver
Coins on Table for Benefit Of
Family Of Deceased.

One of the oldest customs, dating
back to the time Of the early Chris
tians, of giving doles or offerings at
funerals, still survives in North Wales,
according to Welshman writing in
the London Daily Mail.
On the day Of the interinent the
family assemble in the "best kitchen"
and seat themselves around "a large
table on which has been placed q
spotless white linen cloth. The min
lister occupies the place of honor, and
next to him are the relatives, in order
of kinship with the deceased.
Outside are gathered the friends
and neighbors. 1t is a remarkable
sight to see so many men who have
given up half days work (and pay)
to be present.
At a given signal from the minister
The waiting mourners file in, and as
;hey pass around the table each one
1rops silver coin on the white cloth
rs a token Of sympathy.
An awed silence fills the room,
broken only by the subdued s0bbing
If the bereaved, the clink Of coin,
,r the muffled shuffling Of feet. 1t is
solemn, significant ceremony, re-
falling the time when death was re-
yarded as monster to be feared. In
act, originally the offering was made
to procure rest for the soul of the
deceased that he might find his judge
,ropitious."
Welsh hymn singing is heard at its
pest at a funeral. There the emo
ional temperament of the Celt finds
full scope for expression, and the
solemnity Of the occasion helps to
:une the mournful Tyre to its sweetest
strains.
Soon the service is over and loud
,hatter replaces the strained silence.
Discussion of crops, work, the latest
scandal, and other funerals is now
general.
The Welsh peasant regards fu-
neral as holiday. Whether he knew
the deceased or not, If some one dies
n his village he will attend the burial.
One old man showed me with pride a
list Of about a thousand funerals at
which he had been present.
Strange to say, If the funeral is a
private" one-that is, without the Of
eering-very few people attend it.
1t is helpful custom, especially in
remote villages where work is hard
and money scarce, and the little sum
given by sympathetic neighbors often
pays for the mourning expenses.
At one time the dole consisted Of
little rolls of bread, and later Of
pence and halfpence, which were
given to the poorest inhabitant in the
village. Today in North Wales silver
Is always given, and the offering is
kept by the family.
In the town and seaside resorts the
custom is dying out, but in the villages
on the hillsides it still flourishes.

leakage about window and door franz
ing will be so great that the rooms
can not be heated to comfortable
temperature, even by forcing the fur
mace to its limit.
Small Cracks Let in Much Air.
Tight-ftting windows, says the bull
letin, are essential If leakage losses
are to be kept down. Ordinary felt
weather stripping helps to reduce this
loss. Metal weather stripping is still
better and aids materially in saving
fuel. Tests have demonstrated that it
is possible, by the use Of metal wealth
er stripping, to reduce by SS per cent
the leakage through 1-32-inch crack
when the wind is blowing 10 miles an
hour and by SO per cent with 30-mile
wind.
The condition of the windows in a
building, whether tight, loose or just
loose enough to rattle plays a very
important part not only in the comfort
derived from heating plant but more
noticeably in the annual cost of opera
ton. Suitable metal weather stripping
frequently reduces by Is to 20 per cent
the radiation required.
The prevention Of window leakage
means saving of heat and lessening

JOHN ID. GIVES GIRL
 DIME FOR SINGING
Standard Oil Magnate Applauds Moth CT O. Mine" on Hudson Ferry
 Asks Her To Sing Again

Tarrytown, N. Y, Oct. 15.-John D. Rockefeller was so pleased with the singing of a 5-year-old girl on the Hud- son River ferryboat between this town and Nyack today that he gave her two dimes, and told her that she was "the prettiest little singer he ever had seen. He applauded loudly as she sang, and waved back to her as his automobile sped away.
 MT. Rockefeller was crossing the riv- after a motor ride in Rockland Coun- ty, and as the ferryboat left the slip the f1ddlers on the boat struck up the tune Nanny Five-year- Vir- ginia Denike was in an automobile with her parents on the way home from 9 Rockland County wedding, and she sang the words to the song. Applause from MT. Rockefeller.
 Seeing a chance to make a hit with a new attraction, the fiddler walked over to the Denike automobile and ask ed whether the young lady would sing again. She would, with pleasure, and her choice was Mother O. Mine." Two dimes from MT Rockefeller this time, who told his secretary to tell the singer that she was the prettiest he had seen or heard.
 ''Thank you very much," chirped Miss Virginia ''I'n keep them al- ways-until I get rich.'' VI.
 Virginia's father, Ralph Denike, owns garage in Hastings where he sells only Standard Oil products.
 Reports of Virginia's success at win ming dimes from MT. Rockefeller, in- stead of the usual coppers, with an ad- monition to save them, brought many photographers to the Denike house. The first of them arrived just in time to see Virginia, who was making mud pies in the yard, swing a right hand on the
 nose of her playmate, James O'Grady. The blow successfully quelled any mas culine desire James might have had for domination of the mud pie kitchen. ''Is she often that way?' photo grapher asked MT. Denike.
 70, yes," was the reply, "a regular prina donna.' +f Virginia said she was going to attach the dimes to ribbon and wear them around her neck, but in late afternoon | the lure of the ice cream cone became strong and late in the afternoon her
 mouth bore suspicious signs of a predi-
 lection for chocolate ice cream.

conviction will be intensified by the
cheers and praises that reach his ears
in these days Of welcoming and heroiz-
ing. In short, Debs will become this
country's foremost radical, a con-
spicuous figure in the world ranks of
agitators.
Yet to those who deplore his re-
lease through executive clemency it
may be said that nothing is lost for
national security by this action. On
the contrary, something may have
been gained. For there is no likeli-
hood that Debs would have changed
in view if kept in prison to the end
of his term. Rather is it likely that
he would have grown even more de-
termined in radicalism. In prison he
was an object Of sympathy and the
center of a persistent agitation. Free,
he is no longer a prosecuted man, as
his followers contend. He can go and
come as he likes, his speech is unfet-
tation imposed by the laws, and he
becomes merely a propagandist in the
open, whose every action will be un-
der observation and whose every
word will be noted. :"
If there is substantial body Of
radicalism in this country. sufficient
to threaten the overturn of the exist
ing system, the sooner it is developed
the better. Camouf1age will not make
for security. Debs will, perhaps, rem
der the country a great service by
evoking and concentrating this senti-
ment. so that it can be measured. Let
those Americans who want the Debs
sort of government declare themselves
and let Debs lead them so far as his
political limitations permit. AS to the
outcome there can be no question.
