der Naples.
And now the poor motorist, it seems,
must also keep an eye out for the
aphid. If he doesn't it is altogether
probable that Mr. Aphid and Mrs.
Aphid and all the little aphids will
conspire to ruin the nice, glossy fin

CUISINE.
This most recent addition to the list
of the motorists incessant worries
will be found occupying preferred
parking space. High overhead on the
underside of the leaves of the Nor
way NAPLES resides the aphid family,
busily extracting the succulent juices
from the leaves and excreting the ex-
cess sap as a sticky substance known
as honeydew.
1t is this sweet molasses-like ma
terial which causes the mCtorist so
much wor!!;; for a few days accumu-
lation of honeydew and dust will
quickly change the appearance of the
most elegant finish.
The prevalence of aphids or plant
lice on the Norway naples this year is
attributed by E. N. Cory, State en-
tomologist, to scarcity of their nat
ural enemies. The prevalent rains
have prevented the parasites and pre-
dators from depositing their eggs in
the clusters of lice, while on the other
hand the lice, occupying almost exclu-
sively the underside of the leaves, are
protected from the rains and multi
ply unchecked.
Examination of trees in various
parts of the State indicates, however,
that parasites and predators of the
pest are increasing and will gradually
wipe out the infestation, says Mr..
Cory.

tree-a creature which had no busi-
ness to be up there. The hair on
Bowser's neck and shoulders began
to rise. He bounded over to the foot
of the tree and began to bark. Cubby
stopped climbing down. There was
an ugly sound in that voice of Bow
ser's. There was nothing friendly
about it. Cubby whimpered and
whined. Bowser got more and more
excited. He was doing his best to
tell his master that there was some.
thing wrong out there.
BY and by the back door slammed
and Farmer Browns Boy came
around the corner Of the house. Cubby
promptly scrambled back up where
he had been before. How Farmer
Browns Boy did laugh when he dis
covered what all the fuss was about:
ITS all right, Bowser," said he
"It's all right, old fellow! That's your
new friend up there. Come away
now and leave him alone. Come onr'
Bowser didn't want to come on.
There was a low rumbly grumbly
growl down in his throat. But he
went because his master ordered him
to. So once again that woebegone
little Bear was left to himself up
in the tree. And he was woebegone.
What is more, he was getting more
woebegone every minute.

Everyday Law Cases
Is Fact That Defendant Was
Speeding Sufficient to Prore
His Negligence?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Thomas Brown, who was riding
alighted at his corner. and while
crossing the street to his home was
struck by q speeding automobile
driven by John Duff. Brown sued
Duff for $500.
At the trial Brown proved by sew.
eral witnesses that Duff at the time
was driving at about 20 miles ar
hour, and showed further that this
was a violation of the law, as the
speed limit in that vicinity was l.
miles.
Duff admitted that he had exceeded
the speed limit, but insisted that 9th
erwise he had been careful and that
the accident was unavoidable. His at
torney argued that if the fact that
Duff was speeding was the only proof
that Brown had that Duff was negli
gent, then he had not made out suf
ficient case against him.
Brown, through his attorneys, con
tended. however. that the mere fact
that Duff had violated the law was
enough to establish his negligence and
asked the court so to instruct the
jury.
The court, in ruling upon the ques
ton, explained:
1T is the general rule that the vic.
lation of a statute when an injury oc
ours is not an absolute proof of negli
gence. The fact must be considered
along with other facts to determine
whether there was negligence in fact
I'm some States the violation is

will not be warmed or handled too
much. The tips of the fingers may
be used if the work is done quickly.
Add about two and one-half table
spoonfuls of water slowly and use no
more than is absolutely necessary.
Roll the dough very lightly. If the
lower crust is baked separately, the
oven should be about $50 Fahrenheit.
However, a pie with a filling that
needs to be cooked cannot be left long
in an oven as hot as this, because the
crust bakes too fast for the filling.
The temperature should be high to
start and then lowered rapidly after
about 10 minutes. so that the filling
may cook through without overlook

Goiter.

There are certain sections of the
country where goiter is extremely
common. In fact, certain sections
which border on the Great Lakes and
follow the old glacial deposit area are
especially deficient in iodine in both
land and water. OF course, the grain,
fruits and vegetables grown in this
locality do not contain as much iodine
as products grown in parts where
iodine is more prevalent in the soil
These people have to be especially
careful about getting sufficient iodine
in their food.
The boards of health in these sec
tions have taken some steps to protect
the health of the citizens. In some
places, drinking water is treated with
iodine. Other boards of health sug-
gested the use of table salt treated
with sodium iOdide.
However, in connection with the use
of this iodide-treated salt. a word of
warning should be given. If per-
son does not need more iodine to stim-
ulate activity of the thyroid gland it
would be harmful to use the treated
table salt. One member of the family
might be susceptible to goiter and an
other might not. An individual exam
ination by reliable physician skilled
in gland therapy would be the proper
means of determining whether or not
a person needed more iodine than was
contained in a suitable diet.
Simple goiter is a disfguring dis
case which causes a swelling on the
neck. 1t is an affection of the thyroid
gland. Women and girls are more
liable to be afflicted than men. If
iodine is lacking in your section of
the country, it would be well to con
suit doctor and see if extra iodine
Is needed in the table salt or drinking
water for each member of the family,
especially for the growing girls. The
local board of health can give the in
formation about the iodine content of
your section.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Bottle feeding Is much more difficult
than breast feeding, for obvious rea-
sons. Breast milk is practically ster-
| lie, is of exactly the right temperature
and Is made for the baby.
Cows milk may be of the best quail
| ity, but the use of bottle which has
not been thoroughly cleaned and ster-
| ilized may be sufficient to cause the
baby a disastrous attack of diarrhea.
In fact, not only should bottles be
kept perfectly clean, but everything
which comes in contact with the
babys milk must be. The mother
should wash her hands as carefully
before starting to prepare the milk
formula as any nurse or doctor.
Milk bottle, when received, should be
washed off and put on ice. The feed
ing bottles-one more than is neces-
sary for the "a hours-should be
washed all at one time in hot, soapy
water, using a bottle brush. They
should be rinsed and put on the stove
in pan of cold water, which is then
brought to a boil. The bottles should
be taken out, put on a clean towel and
covered with clean towel until ready
to fill.
Nipples go through the same proc
ess. Twice a week they should be
boiled (more frequently boiling rapidly
makes them unfit for use). On days
when they are not boiled they should
be placed in a solution of bicarbonate
soda common baking soda) and left
until used. Use clean, sterile pre-
serve jar for their use and keep COW
cred. Use one teaspoon of soda to one
cup of water for the solution.
A large pitcher should be used for
the formula, preferably of glass or
porcelain. A funnel for pouring for
mula into bottles, a measuring glass
with the ounces and subdivisions
marked upon it and a large enamel
ware spoon for mixing the formula
are required. These are all the abso-
lutte necessities, though all kitchen
ware used for making cereal water
or a double boiler for boiling milk
should be dedicated to the baby's use
exclusively and receive the same care
in washing and sterlizing as the
bottles.
Anything which is so closely con-
nected with the baby's wellbeing as
is his milk formula deserves every
care and attention bestowed upon it,
so that not by hook or crook could
any evilly intentioned germ have a
chance to make it's home within it.
For it is from old milk, from milk
which is not handled in a cleanly man.
ner, and from nipples and bottles i'm
perfectly cleansed of the last feeding,
that spring most often these terrible
attacks of diarrhea which may be
fatal to the baby in hot weather.

Relief From Mosquito Bites
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| To refrain from touching the !rri-
| tated spot Is to require Of ones self
| an unnecessary amount Of forbear-
ance, unless something effective Is
applied which allays the itching. The
remedy Of which 1 speak today has
three points in its favor. It was rec
commended by physician. it is easily
available to any one and its effective
ness has been proved.
Simple Remedy.
The simple remedy is soap, prefera.
bly, a strong soap. Soap is always
available when other remedies are un'
obtainable The lye in the strong
soap makes 1t most relieving, but
any soap will do.
Part of it's efficacy depends upon
the method Of applying it. 1t should
be touched to the irritated spot when
the soap is rather dry-not in suds.
Moist soap is all right to use.
II more relief is necessary than Is
supplied by the application described
little baking soda should be
brushed on top of the soap-moistened
bite. This unpretentious remedy has
been a source Of preventing poison
to those who had previously suffered
as a result Of mosquito bites.
CnObtruStve.
AS to any possibly unpleasant odor
attaching to the remedy. it is either
without any aroma, or has pleasant
one.
Campers and Travellers.
Campers who. perhaps more than
any other people, have the problem
Of mosquitoes to solve in order to
enjoy the out-of-doors should welcome
such a means of relief. as well as
travellers in countries where windows
are not screened. and mosquitoes have
made the most of their opportunities
before their victims take refuge under
a netting canopy. Within the men,
ory of many people is the time when
the windows at fashionable hotels at
the most exclusive of our seaside re-
sorts were unscreened. 1t is not un-
likely that our forbears had made
the discovery of which I write today
and resorted to the soap dish for re-
lief from the irritation Of mosquito
bites.

Browns pantry and then fallen into
a barrel of flour.
Now, you know flour and milk make
paste. Already in the outdoor air
this paste had begun to dry all over
him. Clinging there in the top Of
the tree, there was nothing he could
do about it. He did lap his paws off
somewhat, but this was about all he
could do.
Farmer Browns Boy came to the
foot of the tree and called him. Cubby
looked down. He wanted to go down.
You see, he wanted somebody to
comfort him. He was thoroughly
miserable. Never in his whole life
had he been more miserable. But he
had a feeling that he had been in
mischief. You know, we sometimes
know without being told when we
have been in mischief. He had
climbed that tree because he had been
taught by Mother Bear that in time
of trouble the safest place for a little
Bear is high up in tree. So Cubby
wouldn't come down. He was up
there where nothing could happen to
him and he just wouldn't come down.
He had feeling that more unpleasant
things might happen If he did go
down. SO he whimpered and whined
and clung to the tree and nothing
that Farmer Browns Boy could say
would bring him down.
Finally, Farmer Browns Boy gave
up and Cubby was left to himself
away up there in the tree. 1t seemed
to him that every minute he felt more
uncomfortable. You see, that paste
was drying all over him. 1t was even
in his eyelashes. It was in his ears.
1t made him so uncomfortable that
he couldn't keep still. He started to
go down. Bowser the Hound came
out Of his little house and yawned.
Bowser didn't know anything about
what had happened. Suddenly Cubby
longed for the companionship Of Bow
ser. You know they had become very
good friends. Bowser heard the sound
Of Cubby's claws and looked up in
the tree. He didn't recognize Cubby.
How could he? All he saw was a
strange creature up there in that
