GEMS MADE IN LABORATORIES
limitations OF Precious Stones Are So
Perfect That They Can Almost
Deceive Experts.

Rubies, sapphlres. emeralds, many
other stones can now be initiated so
beautifully that II is no longer easy
TO detect the difference. upon a casual
examination. Pearls are made In a
number of varieties. and imitation
pearls are plentiful and often worn.
While only an expert can determine
whether some gems are genuine there
are certain simple methods by which
In most cases "the genuine article"
may be detected AT home.
Color is usually considered the first
great criterion Of all precious stones.
II Is now generally conceded. however,
that color alone is not a criterion by
which stones may be Judged; other
physical properties must be taken into
consideration by the jewel expert.
The structure OF the stone is
more certain test. The optical prop
critics Of the stone. however. are the
most certain test--what are known as
its "refractive property This can
be ascertained by means Of small in
strument known as a "refractometer."
Refraction means simply the bend

It cannot but fill the hearts Of all right minded men
Young people, Why is it's One Of the reasons undoubtedly IS
the waning influence Of family life.
In fact, there is very little home life to be seen nova
days. What used to be home is now only a place to sleep
and that at a late hour at night until late hours il. the morn
ing. There is no companionship between parents and chill
|dren. The auto and the picture show lure the young-the
clubs and other outside diversions lure the father and
mother; no one seems able to spend any time at home
with such tame amusements as reading, conversation, games
or music.
And yet at no time Of our history was there as much
reforming, mushy sentimentalisrn, and meddling in the at
Of Others as now. Everybody IS intent on looking after
the business Of the other fellow, and one S own affairs seem
to be allowed to drift along.
One Of the first things we must begin to practice is to
our own business, and let the other fellow mind his.
There is always plenty to do in ones own affairs, and they
should receive first attention. How many Of our Twentieth.
Century women CAD about, attending lectures, conventions,
clubs, ETC., neglecting their home and duties as wife and
mother. And how Mortified they are when it finally develops
that the husband is unfaithful, the son a criminal and the
daughter depraved. Then they howl and call for more laws
of the prohibition stripe, when the law that they have violated
was the only one that could have helped, and that IS that
they should have minded their own business.

THE POTATO CROP.

The movement to advise people to buy potatoes is one
to be highly commended. The crop in this state IS very large,
more than can be disposed Of, unless our own people will
help. If a large part remains unsold, it will inure to the dam
age Of our farmers, who are already suffering because Of the
low prices of farm products. It IS vital to all Of US, to try
and prevent as much loss as possible, because what benefits
our farmers will benefit us all.
Let every family in the cities and villages lay in a good
supply Of potatoes for this winter, and thus By helping itself
at the same time helps the potato market, and minimize the
loss to our farmers. Every little helps.
