THE BUSY BEE
And Its Honey
Talking Honey
mo. p

The ancients robbed" their bees
and took out the honeycomb in
chunks (none too Clearly the way
they handled it), and crushed honey,
wax and all into sticky mass. And
in this way it was eaten
Up to 20 years ago there was not
much Improvement In the method of
preparing honey for eating. Those
who did not care for the wax in
comb honey. helted the chunks, and
skinned off the wax as 1t came to
the top, or strained 1t through
cheesecloth or screen wire. Hence
Many primitive beekeepers still pre-
rare their honey for market in this
manner Such honey may be excel
lent in quality If 1t has not been
overheated in the process. Heating
honey above 160 degrees, at the high
est, Injuries the flavor. and also dark
ems it's color. Strained honey can be
distinguished from the best grades
of extracted honey by cloudiness or
mnrkiness In the finished product
that cannot be gotten rid of. 3D..
The modern. up-to- date beekeeper
Of the highest type neither kills his
bees nor ''robs" them to get the
honey. Instead, he has "supers" or
top hives that he sets above the
regular beehive, and the only honey
he takes is what they stored in the
supers after they have gathered a
plenty for themselves and stored for
their use in the hive below. Some
times there isn't any surplus for the
beelleeper.
In my next talk I'll tell you what
the beekeeper does with his share OF
the honey before it is offered you to

Hamburg, March 2 "a. P. by
Mail)--The radio and the movie film
have been enlisted in efforts of Ham,
burg housekeepers to make frozen
meat again popular among Ger
mans. This commodity became dis
tasteful during the war when the
quality left much to be desired, and
1t is this feeling the local house
keepers would overcome.
Frozen meats from Brazil. Argen-
tina. and the United States are SELL
ing today in Germany at prices 20
to 30 per cent under fresh meat.
The women of Hamburg have
learned to like and appreciate the
imported article, and they want to
tell others Of its advantages.
Medical authorities say good
word for, frozen beef over the radio,
from time to time, and the pictures
set forth practical ways of serving
the meat, If consumers will only for
get their dislikes of the past.

Americans Drink More
Water Since Prohibition
Normal Person in Good
Health Should Drink
3 to 6 Pints Daily

A UTHORS Of grade school
"a physiologies and others who
d u insist that it is always harm
full to drink water at meal time
are wrong according to the opin-
ion that DR.. Ernest J. Devices, as
sistant medical director Of the
Provident Mutual Life Insurance
Company Of Philadelphia, express
ed in report made public recently.
"Some generally accepted rules
Of health have become as distorted
and meaningless as superstitions
and fables Of the ground hog
character" DR.. Devices said. 1.-THE
fact of the mater is that the
average individual should drink
from one to two glasses Of water
with each meal. 1t should be
taken, however, after the food has
been thoroughly masticated and
swallowed and not used to wash
food down."
In his report embodying the re-
suit Of his survey OF the subject
DR.. Devices attempted to clear up
a number Of popular misconcept-
ions concerning the relation Of
water drinking to health. Exag-
geration and going to extremes one
way or the other are to be avoided.
he declared. i,
DR.. Devices estimated that the
normal person should drink from
one and one-half to three quarts
Of water every day. This may be
divided up. he said. as follows:
one to two glasses before break
fast and just before going to bed:
ut least one with each Of the three
meals and one or more between
meals
Concerning the relation Of water
drinking to prohibition DR.. De-
wees said that he believed more
water and soft drinks"- sweet
ened and favored water-are be-
Ing consumed since prohibition,
that prohibition is easier to make
effective in those countries or dis
tricts where there IL an adequate
supply Of pure water, and that
without 1t prohibition is impos-
sible. He pointed out that Amer
leans seem to take naturally to
drinking water instead Of the light
wines and beers Of the European
countries.
One generally accepted belief.

REANY people spend hours at

recuperating your energies, why not
stop coffee and drink Postum?
Postum is pure cereal beverage.
absolutely free from caffeine or any

 Another feature was a beautiful ,throw to the plate from deep center field by Kredar, whose remarkable toss nlpped Swanson at home.
 John Sedgewick, the Falcons sec ond baseman, leaves tomorrow for Wiliston Seminary in Massachusetts. He has been a tower of strength to the Falcons all season and his work on both offense and defense has been of. the highest order.

New York, Sept. 15,-The shadow of "DaZzy' Vance Is dangling before the pennant-staring eyes of the New York Giants, blurring their sight 10 a fourth consecutive National league championship. The premier Brook lyn twirler, who is still building up an unbroken record of IA consecu- tive victories, has turned in 26 win wing games for the Dodgers this season out of 30 starts and is liter ally curping the Dodgers into an i'm pressive position in the league stand ing.
 Vance yesterday tossed one of the most brilliant games of his meteoric career when he blanked the Cincin- natl Reds. to 0, holding them to four hits and expiring nine via the srike-out route, at the same time issuing exactly no free parades to the initial cushion.
 During this exhibition 1t is be- iieved Vance established a worlds record when he tossed up l straight strikes, turning back the entire side tn the third inning on nine pitched balls, not one of which was even nicked for a foul, after closing the second inning by pitching two strikes.
 But Vance's performance only kept Brooklyn in the running as the Giants, with Arthur Nehf serving up the pellets,t urned back the Cardi- nals, 8 to ?. Pittsburgh. also in the race for the flag, mathematically speaking, was idle.
 The East found the Western seas rather rough sailing yesterday. Washington and New York floun- ing on the rocks of Detroit and Chi cago. The Senators losing to ? decision to "Ty'' Cobb's battling Bengals., and the Yankees being knocked horizontal by the White Sox to the same tune.
 The Boston Red Sox, awakening from a long slumber, whitewashed the St. Louis Browns, 10 ot0, while the Indians nosed out the Philadel- phia Athletics, to 3.
 The real battle for supremacy in the National league opens in East ern parks this week when Pittsburgh, the Vests lone threat, invades Brooklyn for series of three games which will have a decided bearing on the standing of these two teams when thes moke of competition has cleared away.
 The series opens on Friday and concludes on Sunday, after which the Pirates will cross the Brooklyn bridge for three day seance with the New York Giants.

 With the score to ? in the elev- enth, Bristol tied the score. In the twenty-f first frame Holden tripled Rubino walked and stole second. Klinger bunted and made first safely, being credited with hit, The bases were then filled with none down. Goodridge then pulled off some bril- liant pitching and struck out Me- Leod and MulviIe. Sheehy's single, however, did the trick. The ball went into right field, Holden and Rubino scampering home. Christie was an infield out. The locals were unable to score in their half.

KAPLAN.PALUSO
 BATTLE TONIGHT
Famous SCrapperS Meet in
 Waterbury Ring

The fight game returns to its own tonight in Waterbury, when Louis (kid) Kaplan. of Meriden, steps in- side the roped arena at Brassco park with Lou Paulso of Salt Lake City, as his opponent. The main go is scheduled for the usual 12 rounds. In addition to the Kaplan- Paulso en- tertainment. which is considered one of the most important fistic affairs for the Kid, there are three other bouts, Emil Paulso, brother of Lou, and Tony Norman, of Pittsburgh, are in the ten-round semi-final: Tracey Ferguson of Northford, and the "Walloping Wop," of Fort McPher- son, Ga, in an eight rounder, and Jiggers Palladino of Brooklyn, and Eddie Lord of Waterbury, in the curtain-opener of six rounds.
 Kaplan is in very good condition for his bout. Training at tie Casino since the day the news was flashed | to Meriden that Paulso would be his | opponent, the Kid has accomplished his purpose-that of being ready for Jack Dempsey's protege. Scotty Montieth has surrounded Louis with some good sparring partners in Jim my Hutchinson and Henry Col clough while Dennry McMahon has attended to the other details that have in the past resulted in having the Meriden featherweight ''in the pink" when it came time to weigh 1 in.
 Paluso, so it has been'announced will be in fine fettle also. He fought in Boston during the past week, won his bout and comes to this part of the country ready to give Kaplan a fight of it. Waterbury has attended all of Kaplan's fights in droves in the vain hopes of seeing someone stor him and his winning tactics. And il is expected that the same collection of rabid. rooters will be out tonight 1.-the same gang" that watched Allen. town Johnny Leonard, Bobby Gar cia, Eddie Brady. Bill DeFoe and Cuddy DeMarco faH miserably. Palu'
