have the chime rung in the after noon of each day precisely at 6 o'cfocls-and to do this so promptly that one can set his watch by the ringing of the chime. This I think Is an excellent idea, and every after . noon exactly at by Western Union time, the chime rings forth it's message and many people stop their work by it, knowing it is the hour which practically closes the day.
 Work With Mems Bible Clas.r
 In addition to his clever handI.ny of the chime at Highlands Methodist church, MT. Rowell contributes his musical talent to the Mems Bible class of the church each Sabbath day, arranging most excellent musi- cal program. Playing the piano with taste and discrimination he is an excellent accompanies and each Sum day he invites some prominent singer to contribute solo to the program. Miss Rebecca Bazemore who recently received the Oscar Saenger scholar ship, was often a visitor to the Mems Bible class, MT. Roweil inviting her to sing, which she always did with grace and cordiality.
 Truly-Birmingha owes a debt of gratitude to this clever young man for contributing his talents in so many ways to the upbuilding of the musical world of this community and the splendid manner in which he does everything musical, whether 1t be plano selection, or a 'chime' selection, simple hymn or an oper- atic number.

Disease Injurious to Figs

Disease Injurious to fiss
 Many complaints are reaching The Age Herald about figs falling off and remedies are in demand to cor rect the trouble. An investigation discloses the fact that the trouble is due to a fungus that attacks the fig Itself. This fungus arrests tn de- velopment of the fig, weakens the plant cells and causes the fruit 10 fall from the stem. The stem Itself is often involved, but the disease it. self does not often cause any injury to foliage.
 The fungus under discussion may first be noticed on the young figs as a brownish or blackish smutty blotch, which spreads rapidly, involving the entire fruit, causing it to drop to the ground At the first sign, spray the figs and stems with the follow ing; Dissolve half an ounce cop pcras In a gallon of water and stir In an ounce of dry sulphur. Keep mixture we'll stirred and spray thor oughly. It won't hurt the foliage, so it's a good idea to not only get on the fruit and stem, but the entire plant. One good spraying generally does the business, but it may be necessary to repeat in two weeks.

Treating the Conyalescent
 When a person or animal has been sick their speedy recovery depends on careful nursing. Any doctor will tell you that. The same thing ap- piles to plants. only the plant can not manifest it's troubles like con- scious life, making 1t necessary 10 treat from symptoms only.
 Many plants and trees are literally snatched from sure death through spraying or dusting with certain remedial agents that destroy their disease or rid them of insect pests Such treatments usually leave them in a weakened condition. just like humans, lays them open to the at tack of other enemies, and they often succumb to some new attack made possible through their weakened condition.
 So it Is important to watch trees and plants after they have been sick and gone through siege of dis ease and insect attack. It is always a good plan to work such plants, fruits and shrubbery that are recov- ering from various troubles. Ere quently they need some stimulating fertilizer to induce new, healthy growth, particularly in the growing season. Treat your plants like you would one of your dogs, often they are more valuable.

 Dehydrating Vegetables
 Dehydration Is big word, but means the same thing as drying. When you dry peaches or apples in the sun you are dehydrating them, or, to be more plain, simply evapor- ating the moisture out of the fruit, which after all is what causes veg etable matter to decay or deeompose.
 Most vegetables contain from 75 to 95 per cent of just plain water, so that in some cases, if you evaporate the water out of hundred pounds of vegetables, you have remaining only five pounds of food, but if you soak the dried product in water II will resume it's former weight and shape.
 On this principle the United States government, through the bureau or chemistry, is greatly interested in promoting general interest Tn the commercial drying of all fruits and vegetables. The recent World war clearly demonstrated not only the feasibility, but the desirability Of everybody making use of this method of conserving the worlds supply of food. The next war will be 4ought on such foods. Think of the saving in handling dry products and elimi- hating the great weight of water. Machines are now on the market for doing the job.
