They Ask Advice

Along came the thistle-patch
fairy wheeling Nancy and Nick out
of the thistle-patch in his wheel
barrow.
Poor Nancy and Nick! They had
had a dreadful time. Their clothes
were torn, their hands were
scratched, and they were awful!y

F~1ap-Doodle. the mischievous
fairy, who had caused all the trou-
BILE, saw them coming, and he was
so surprised he stopped laughing

he forgot to vanish and the Twins
saw him.

F1ap-Doodle remembered his

and before Nick could touch him he
had disappeared completely.
Nov what shall we do?" asked
Nancy in dismay.
"We'd better go back to the wiz

him." said Nick.
So the Twins thanked the Thistle

took the path back to the place

Now, my dears. there was no wiz

A genuine understanding Of child

Gray realize IL years ago that they
did not have exactly the right sort
of toys to play with. So she went
into business to make better ones.
A genuine understanding of
grown-ups made her realize that the
ordinary factory doesn't afford It's
workers an opportunity for a great

something better.
The result is that her funny little

Your Health
(By DIR. II. IL. Bishop
Drink More Milk

DTlnk nOFC MIX
Since milk is a typical natural
food. used by civilized and uncivil-
lied people alike, 1t seems worthy
of some special consideration.
1t is practically the only food
which contains all the elementary
principles in anything like the right
proportions. 1t requires very little
energy for digestion.
Milk is. however, not easily
tolerated by some people, and in any
case is very deficient in iron, so that
anemia is almost sure TO result from
its over-use.
A good way to include more milk
in your diet is through the use of
cream soups and creamed vegeta-
bles.
Because of the healthy little vita
mines in milk, other dishes also
should be considered that contain
this element. Many vegetables CON
tain vitamines. such as spinach, car
-ots and turnips, and other green
vegetables should be used in their
respective seasons.
1t is well to give children a quart
of milk daily. while adults should
drink at least a pint. II should he
taken slowly and not in gulps and
hurriedly.
Products of milk. such as cheese
or b~uttermilk, are healthful. Cheese,
however, is difficult to digest. To
promote its digestion it ought to be
grated or eaten with some other
easily digested food.
Cream contains most of the fats
OF the milk and is a somewhat
heavier food. One pint of cream
contains more caloric value than
four quarts of milk.
The addition to milk of water.
cream and sugar is often necessary
to make it more digestible, especial

POOR PRINCETON MOTOR LOGIC

The vision of Princeton Univer-
sity seems to have narrowed since
Woodrow Wilson dropped the reins,
President John Grier Hibben now
trying to sound the death knell of
the automobile for college under
graduates. While the professor feels
that no legislative action should be
taken, he would have parents dis
courage the use of the automobile
by their sons, believing thai the val
ne of simplicity in living and the
elimination of unnecessary -luxur-
les" should be implanted in the
youthful mind. 1t is a pretty fall
lacy, but one that viii not take root
in the thinking mind. The automo-
bile is not an unnecessary luxury to-
day. 1t is as much a part of life
as the safety razor It is a neces-
sity. 1t permits the workman to live
in Gods fresh air instead of being
housed in the sweltering tenements
of the cities. 1t gives forty league
boots to the farmer, and provides
recreation to The hardworked farm
er's wife; it brings the conveniences
of the towns to the doors of the vii
lagos, and carries the product of the
country freshly to the mouths of
the undernourished children Of the
nation. College students cannot
begin too soon to know what the
automobile means to civilization, to
commerce, to health and to life, and
the best way to know the automobile
and to sense its blessings and its
dangers is to own and operate one.
The few days Of youthful joy rid
ing and hilarity soon pass; indeed,
it is doubtful if anything is more
calculated to bring the harum SEQ
rum youth to his senses quicker than
a motor car. If the college trains
the mind to analysis as it properly
should, then the student can have no
better influence than his professors
and his little car The appreciation
Of simplicity does not mean a will
ingness to submit to the inconven-
fences Of the dark ages. Fancy in
the days of Martha Washington if |
the girls had been frowned on be-
cause they liked to own electric
washing machines. Let us hope the
day vii soon come when everyone
viii own a car. Prof. Hibben should |
not throw sand in the gears.

WATERMEL0Ns AND SEEDS
USED FOR MANY PURPOSES

In its studies of the control Of
watermelon diseases the United
States Department of Agriculture
has found that there are numerous
uses for watermelons outside of the
consumption as a popular fruit.
Housewives have long been familiar
with pickles and preserves made of
watermelon rind. In China and 9th
er Oriental countries watermelon
seed is used as a table delicacy.
Seedsmen in this country may not
only ship seed for this purpose, but
find a market for their product in
the Chinese districts Of New York
and San Francico. This liking for
the seed is evidently not restricted
to the Orient, for some years ago
well-known explorer reported an
African tribe that .sharpened their
teeth in order to better strip the
hulls from watermelon seeds. With
IN recent years a firm in Alabama
has undertaken 10 manufacture vim
egar from the juice, and from Rus
STA come reports that during the
past few years of hardship concen-
trated watermelon juice has been
used in place of sugar to sweeten
coffee.
The production of watermelon
seed in an industry by itself. In a
single county in Florida Approximate
ly 1000 acres of watermelons are
grown annually for seed purposes.
This one section supplies great
proportion of the watermelon seed
planted in the United States, and on
occasion also ships to foreign grow
ems. In recent years shipments of
seed for planting have been made to
Tarsus, Asia Minor, to China and
other far distant points.
During the past years profits in
our southern watermelon industry
have been severely cut, due to the
effect of several destructive dis
eases. Anthracnose, a fungOus dis
ease of the foliage and fruit, means
reduced yield and peck marked mel
ons that rot in the field and in the
freight car. Stem end rot is a trou-
BILE that occurs in transit only, and
originates with infection of the
melon by the casual organism at the
cut stem. Anthacnose is controlled
by spraying the vines; stem-end rot
by the practice of field sanitation
and stem treatment Plans are be
ing made by the department of ag-
ricultre to assist growers, distrib-
