NEW PLANT FOOD
Chayote From Central America
Now Grown in U. S.
ls Related to Cucumber and Squash
Provides Excellent Fall and Early
Winter Vegetable.

Among the plant immigrants to this
country from Central America, the
chayote promises to be one of the most
satisfactory for use in the mild-win-
tered regions of the South Atlantic and
Gulf Coast states and parts Of Califor-
MIA. The fruits and tubers' of the
chayote were among the principal
foods Of the Aztecs, Mayas and other
peoples previous to the Spanish con-
quest Of Mexico and Central America,
and the vine today is one Of the prin-
cipal food plants of the Inhabitants Of
these regions, where 1t occupies the po-
sitlon horticulturally that the potato
does In more northern districts. The
chayote has been grown for more than
generation in restricted areas of the
South, where it has been known vari-
ously as vegetable pear, mirliton, and
mango squash.
The chayote is related to the cucum-
Der and squash, although the fruits are
not similar, ranging In color from dark
green to ivory white and in size sfrom
those weighing few. ounces to fruits
! two pounds or more In weight. There
are also wide variations among the
chayotes as to surface and shape. In
the South the chayote provides an ex-
cellent fall and early winter table
vegetable, the period fof fruiting ex-
tending from early October until
frost. Owing to its vigorous growth
and prolific yield, single vine in the
garden or yard will produce more than
enough chayotes for the average fam
lily under favorable soil and climate
conditions.
Although the chayote Is used here
chiefly, as vegetable, 1t also lends It.
self to use as forage crop, an orna-
mental vine, for green's. for producing
blanched shoots which are used like
asparagus tips, and as stray which
ii used in making extra quality orna-
mental baskets, hats and other arti-
Giles. In preparing chayotes for the
table they are usually cut crosswise
into thick slices, pared, and boiled I'M
Ill tender in just enough salted water
to cook them. They may then be
creamed or buttered and served. Be
cause of its delicate texture and mild
flavor the chayote' is especially desir-
able for use in salads. 1t is prepared
as above described. cooled, and then
served on lettuce leaves with mayon-
naise or French dressing.

Reading by the Body.

Professor Galeazzi, speaking at the

BROTHER DINMED HER LIGHT
Little Anita impressed Her Callers
Until the Rude Boy
Came In.

The, Knoxes had just moved from
the city to a New Jersey town where
friendly couples come in to call after
supper and housekeepers run in any
time Of the day to exchange the news.
Anita, six-year-old only daughter Of
the family, while pleased with the
new surroundings and delighted with
the friends she was making still felt
1t her duty, being from the city, to
maintain certain formalities; says the
New York Evening Mail. Her. moth
er was therefore amused and a lit
tie dismayed at unexpected airs her
small daughter assumed with the
neighbors' children, However, they APP
peared to take it in good part and for
week Anita seemed in a fair way to
becomeethe social leader Of her new
circle.
If this was her ambition, however,
she reckoned without her four-year-
old brother, "Boy.'' The other day
when she was exhibiting her dolls to
two youthful callers and entertaining
them with an extended and perhaps
slightly exaggerated account Of city
life, Boy came in from play.
He cast a single look at her pursed
lips and proud manner, listened in
for moment to her conversation.
then showed her rudely out Of his
way. saw, you're only NUT" he
commented in brotherly fashion. And
Anita hasn't tried the highbrow role
since.

SALT 0aIliK FOR HOT CLIMATE
Experiments on Miners Indicate d.
Iuted Sea Water Keeps Them
Stronger and Filter.

Dilute sea water or salt water In
any palatable form may be the basis
of future soft drinks for hot weather
and tropical climates, says London
dispatch to the New York Evening
Post. A long series Of experiments on
workers in hot mines has shown that
small quantity Of salt daily has the
power to relieve the men OF, much Of
the exhaustion supposed to be due to
severe toia> al high temperatures, and
to prevent altogether the development
of the dreaded miners cramp. Men
given about one-third of an ounce of
common salt dissolved In gallon of
water reported themselves stronger
and filter in every way.

one-half hour working shift at tenn
perature around 100 degrees. the men
lost from nine to eighteen pounds
through perspiration and respiration.
Other men who worked In a specially
heated testing room In d laboratory
showed similar losses and a loss of
twice as much salt from the system
as under normal conditions. He also
discovered that men who worked in
hot mines ate third more salt food
than those who worked under normal
conditions.
