There was a question as 10 whether or

which the tenant must declare his OPP
tiOn-cash or corn-and whether or
not the landlord should have similar
choice. Perhaps they had TO recast
the whole lease TO agree TO the new

end they had contract which gave
justice and protection TO both parties

CURE DEFECTS IN TOMATOES
Black Spots May Be Prevented By
Treating Seed in Solution of
Corrosive Sublimate.

It is claimed that black spots in to-
matoes may be prevented to p con-
siderable extent by treating the seeds
with a corrosive sublimate solution.
One-twentieth of an ounce of corro-
sive sublimate is dissolved in a gallon
of water. The tomato seed is placed
in a little bag and soaked in this so
luton for five minutes and then
washed in running water for ten min
utes. and then the seed is spread out
to dry. In using corrosive sublimate
be sure to put the solution in wood
en- or earthenware container; cor
rosive sublimate attacks metal.

Helen Morrison had come to the
Berkshires as travelling companion to
an elderly and very wealthy invalid
who took the trip each autumn as reg
ularly as she tore off the September
sheet from the calendar.
lnasmuch as Helen was eighteen and
her employer was eighty, the young
girl found herself, at most times. des-
perately lonely. The chauffeur who
drove the big limousine in which they
travelled day after day along some of
the most wonderfully lovely roads
Helen had ever dreamed of. was as
nearly a machine as the motor he was
running.
He spoke of nothing but speeds and
spark plugs, batteries and bearings
Helen was sure it was carbureter
that kept his body and soul Joined to-
gether during this earthly span And
how could even a desperately lonely
girl chum with a man SO mechanical
ly inclined?

Hold erudas Against Chameleon.

No African native will have any
thing to do with a chameleon, under
any circumstances whatever. 1t seems
that beyond the dim wells Of time, and
when the Great Ancestor was form
ing the world, he sent the chameleon
to tell the black people that for them
life should be immortal, and then, hav-
ing changed his mind, he sent the liz
ard to catch up with the chameleon,
and. If the message had not already
been delivered. to rescind the order.
The legend goes on to relate how
the chameleon In its vanity stopped
often to change its color, and that,
having turned it's coat to match its
background, It was passed by the liz
ard which, arriving first, told the
black people that Immortality was not
for them.
