Influenza and Consumption.

DR.. Charles II. Marcy of Pittsburgh,
stated before the medical society OF
Pennsylvania, that he had studied 5St
cases of tuberculosis, the onset of
whose symptoms was referred to an
attack of influenza. The number OF
patients known to have had tuber-
culosis prior to the onset of influenza
was comparatively small. In the ma
jority of these cases the influenza had
reactivated old quiescent LESSONS. In
34.3 per cen of the series studied the

Birth Rate Of France Increases.

Vital statistics show that the birth
rate increased in France in 1920. AT
Marseilles, for the first time In years,
the number Of births greatly exceed
ed the number of deaths. At Chalon-
sur-Soane total of births for the year
was $50 and that of. deaths $50 only,
whereas the figures for 1919 had been 4:
Births, 400, and deaths, 571. In Tou-
lon the number Of births exceeded by
11S that of deaths, something that has
not happened in 80 years. From Or
leans satisfactory figures have also
been communicated, and at Dieppe the
number of births exceeded by 80 per
cent the number of deaths.

Ar Airplane Brake.

The newest idea for airplane wheels
is to mount upon the periphery of each
wheel a number of little wheels.
This arrangement, says the Popular
Science Monthly, helps to retard the
forward motion of the flying machine
on making a linding. The little
wheels, brought successfully into po-
sition by the force of impact, tend
to check the plane and bring 1t to
a quick and smooth stop.

they are about an inch i'm diameter,
both leaf stems and young beets al
be cooked together. When the beets
are larger the leaf-stems become tough
and woody. AS a rule two paintings
should be made, one extremely early
and another in about four weeks.
Carrots should be planted just a lit
tie later than beets, and as soon as
the plants are up. they should be
thlnned. A second thinning will leave
the plants one and one-half to two
inches apart in the row and give a
supply of small carrots, known as baby
carrots, for use on the table. The
tops of the carrots cannot be used for
greens.
Parsnips and satisfy are more in
the nature Of winter crops; that is,
they are grown during the summer
and kept for winter use. A section of
row 20 TO 80 feet long generally will
produce all the parsnips or satisfy that
the average family will want.
While it is true that too much lettuce
often Is planted at one time, not
enough attention is given to keeping a
continuous supply. Lettuce plants
grown in the hotbed or cold frame. or
in a box in the house, can be planted
In the open ground just as soon as the
danger Of the last frost Is past.
Fresh Things All Year.
BY making a study of the different
kinds of salad crops offered in seed
catalogues n can easily have a con-
tinuous supply from the earliest
springtime until the late autumn, and
even into the winter. Water cress. for
instance, is grown commercially in
ponds or springfield streams in sec
lions where the water naturally con-
tains large amounts OF lime. BY start
ing water cress from seeds sown In a
box In the house or by getting a bunch
OF cress in the market and using the
stems for plants. it is easy to grow a
bed OF water cress without the aid of
q stream Or pond.
Chickory, or endive, Is one OF the
finest of the winter salads. The roots
are grown during the summer. and
then dug In the fall and packed In the
cellar in boxes Of moist sand. the roots
being placed rather close together in
the box with the crowns or tops near
the surface. A covering Of straw is
places over the box, and the soil
around the roots kept moderately wa

insect pests are hard to reach with
ordinary sprays, but the floating dust
settles upon the under side of the
leaves as well as on the surface. The
experiments show that much larger
areas can be treated In less time than
is required by spraying. Moreover, the
equipment necessary to apply the dust
is much less expensive than a spray
outfit and its cost Of application is
less than by the older method. II
weighs less than spray and is more
conveniently handled. 1t can be mixed
with arsenate of lead or sulphur for
use against insects and fungous dis
eases.

Specialists Suggest That Paintings
Be Made a Week or So Apart to
Obtain Succession of Various
Kinds of Vegetables.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Where garden space is limited plant
root and salad crops. No garden, large
or small, is complete without them,
but they are particularly adapted to
small backyard gardens. Among the
ROOT crops are radishes, beets, carrots,
pursnips, satisfy or vegetable oyster,
and turnips. Salad crops include let
tuce, common or wild cress, daEdelion,
Cos lettuce or romaine, Chinese cab
bage, and others. They require little
space, because they can be planted in
rows from 10 TO IS inches apart, and
cultivated with hand tools. Many gar
deners make only one planting of these
crops, but the garden specialists of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture suggest that several paintings
of them he made a week or so apart,
ia order to have a succession of those
vegetables.
Radishes are one of the first and
pest vegetables that come from the
garden in spring. They should be
painted as early as possible, whether
for market or home use. For the home
supply small amounts should be plant
ed, and at least two or three paintings
made with varieties that mature at
different times.
