FIRE LOSS STILL HIGH.

During the first half of 1881 the
total estimated fire loss was $242 $685.
267 as compared with 42,299,771 for
the same period last year.
The increase is so small as to be
almost negligible. But 1880 was
year of high losses, and we are con-
tinuing to hold the total to an eX-
cessive figure. CareleSSneSS and
thoughtlessness, coupled with arson,
are still combating the fine work OF
those organizations, public and private,
which are laboring to instruct the
people in the fundamentals OF fire
prevention.
We have not yet learned, as people,
that it is better to prevent fire than
to extinguish one. We may have the
best fire department in the world-but
every fire, no matter how slight, re-
suits in some waste. We may point
out that there are few great conflagra-
lions any more-but few compare
lively small fires can cause a waste OF
millions, not only in property damage,
but in loss of business, employment
and higher taxes for other property.
If the last six months of 1881 are
like the first six, we will again APP
proach the $5O0,OOO,0OO mark in des-
truction by fire. The fire records OF
past years are a series of black marks
against our much Wanted American
efficiency.

Paving Experiment
Is Being Studied.

The u. S. Bureau of Public Roads
and the Minnesota Highway depart
ment have been cooperating the past
summer in an experimental paving
project which is attracting wide at
tention among highway engineers.
Instead of using only three materials,
cement, sand, and rock or gravel, as
in standard concrete methods, the rock
and gravel have been separated into
two and in some cases three different
sizes, and fixed amounts of each size
weighed into each batch of concrete.
This method has been tried in other
states, and has been advocated by the
Bureau of Public Roads. To determine
if this was of any value with Mime
sofa materials, it was decided to try
it on one project. A section of T. H.
No. IA, from Redwood Falls to Fair
fax was selected for the experiment,
due to the variety of rock and gravel
available.
Three engineers from the Bureau of
this job, cooperating with special en-
gineers from the State Highway de-
partment in directing the experiments
and compiling data. The project was
divided into several sections, different
combinations of larger and smaller
sizes of various kinds of rock and
gravel being used. Records were kept
of the amount of material used and
the area of pavement laid per batch
of concrete. Test specimens of con-
crete were made, and these are being
checked with cores cut from the
finished pavement.
Analysis of the data has not been
completed, but the preliminary studies
indicate that by keeping closer check
of the coarse aggregate the workability
and uniformity of the concrete can
be improved, and the quantity of
cement slightly reduced. Whether this
will be sufficient to justify the added
cost remains to be seen. With the new
method the practice would be to make
a determination of cement proportions
on each project, after making labora-
tory tests of the coarse aggregate, in
stead of using fixed cement ratio on
all paving as at present. With 400
mile paving program, a saving of one
half per cent in cement becomes a
large item.
The research project is in line with
the policy of the Minnesota Highway
department, the Bureau of Public
Roads, and other state highway de-
partments, of studying and utilizing
every possible improved road building
method. Through long series of ex-
periments and observation of results,
the quality of concrete has been slowly
but steadily improved each year since
it came into use for road building.
Concrete pavements built twenty and
thirty years ago are still in use, and
those now being built may be expected
to last much longer.

Best Mosquito Biting
Periods are Revealed,

Fishermen have long known when
fish bite BEST Now the periods when
mosquitoes bite best, or worst, have
been revealed by entomologists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
There are mosquitoes that bite only
at night, others that bite only during
the day, some that bite best at sun
rise and some best at shutdown.
There is one grain of comfort for
the mosquito-ridden citizen. Only
the female mosquito bites. The male
feeds on nectar and similar substances
Here are some mosquito schedules"
The rain barrel" or common mos
quitos bites only at night and can find
her victims no matter how dark it is
When flying it makes that irritating
singing noise which is familiar to
everyone.
The yellow-fever mosquito usually
bites close to the ground or attacks
from behind, and often crawls under
clothing to bite. It bites only in the
daytime and is busiest early in the
morning and late in the afternoon.
1t flies quietly. 1t will bite indoors
all day.
The fresh-water marsh mosquito
known under the scientific name Man
sonia, severe bitter, is busiest just at
dusk. 1t spends the day in the grass
and will bite during the day if dis
turbed.
Malarial mosquitoes will bite all night
long and sometimes, too, in the day.

Agriculture, which highly recommends
them in the diet at all times.
Tomatoes are one of the best foods
for supplying vitaminS A, B, G, and G..
This rich supply of vitaminS, says the
bureau, makes them almost invaluable
to both children and adults, since it
helps materially to prevent deficiency
diseases and infections of the skin and
mucous membranes, to maintain nor
NAL growth, and to stimulate the ap-
petite. Tomatoes are rich also in the
mineral salts essential for good nu-
triton.
The bureau includes tomatoes in all
its low-cost dietaries, primarily because
of their vitanlin content. They are
especially valuable as a source of this
unstable vitamin, since people so fire.
quently eat them raw or lightly cooked.
And even when canned or cooked for
longer periods, their acid reaction tends
to prevent destruction of this vitamin
Tomatoes add interest, color, and
flavor to low-coSt diets. A few cents
spent for tomatoes may make a dull
and unpalatable dish enjoyable. Tom
atoes are low in price this year be-
cause of the large crop.
Tomatoes lend themselves to an al
most unlimited variety of combinations
in cooking. They mix well with other
vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, legumes,
spaghetti or eggs. In fact, in various
forms, they can take their place in any
course of meal, beginning with the
tomato juice cocktail and going thru

$4,000 FOR
FOREST ROADS
Federal Forest Service
Spends Money on Ely
Finland Road.

The present Superior National Forest
road program includes the reconstruc-
ton of sections of the Ely-Finland
Road in Lake County, the Rosebush-
Coleville Road in Lake County, and
the Rosebud Coleman Road n Cook
county, reported Inspector Coleman
upon his return to headquarters
after seasonal inspection of roads
and trails in the Lake States Region
These roads are being financed from
the Forest Highway Appropriation,
and are estimated to cost $4,000 for
something over the ten miles involved.
Both of these roads are much used as
public highways, and are being con-
structed to high standard, MIR. Cole
man said
lone of the outstanding features OF
construction now is the planned
preservation of aesthetic roadside
values. which enter into the survey
and design of roads within all the
National Forests, due to their recrea-
tional and scenic value to the travelling
public.
vice has been active in conserving
roadside beauty, both for beauty itself
and for the economic value as snow
fence along the highway. The preser-
walton of timber fringes is cardinal
principle of timber management poll
cies, and strips are left 200 feet wide
on each side from road centers. With
in these reserved strips no occupancy
or resource development on National
Forest land may be undertaken.
Aesthetic rather than silvicultural con-
ditions govern, except on individual
demonstration areas. There is no COM
mercial sign problem on the National
Forests" Mr.. Coleman said, "for COM
mercial signs are prohibited. Even
fire roads, where public travel is a
factor, are to be considered from the
point of attractiveness of the location
in working out our transportation
system in this the newest of National
Forest Regions"
No Roads in Wilderness Area.
Hydroplanes are under contract for
fire protection on the Superior Ma
tional Forest. No roads are permitted
in that part known as the Wilderness
Area" virgin tract of 1000 square
miles, including practically all of the
so-called canoe country, that has been
set aside as a sample of untrammeled
wilderness conditions to be perpetuated
for future generations. Some of this
region has been little explored, and
has been unexpected by any modern
development except few foot trails
This is in harmony with the principles
of the Chief Forester of putting all
National Forest land to its highest use,
and is in accordance with the growing
public sentiment for tracts to be left
in a primitive state where those who
wish to rough it" may find the wild
atmosphere of American pioneer days.
Rude shelters are permitted for the
accommodation of mixers, but no private
structures are allowed Those enter
ing the wilderness must depend en-
tirely upon their own resources for
food and shelter.

the soup, entree, vegetable, relish,
salad, and ending with the dessert
which might be green-tomato pie.
Now is the time to use the last TOM
atoes ripening on the vines and to put
up any surplus for future use. When
frost comes, gather the green tomatoes.
1t may be we'll to check over your sup
ply and see whether you can utilize the
last of the crop to best advantage can
ned, in catsup, or in chilli sauce.
Green tomatoes suggest pickles
though there are other ways of using
them. Store the largest and best in a
cool dark place for ripening. One good
practice is to wrap each tomato in
paper, much after the fashion in which
they come to market in winter. Be
sure, however, to see that the tomatoes
have no blemishes or they will rot
quickly.
There are innumerable relishes that
can be made from green tomatoes, in
Guiding Bordeaux sauce and piccalilli
Green tomatoes can be dilled, making
almost as good relish as billed cucum-
bers. They will keep for some time in
a weak brine solution, to be used as
needed.
Green tomatoes may be served for
the table in number of ways-stewed,
in creamed soup, fried, sauteed, in pie,
and in marmalade. Mincemeat made
from green tomatoes Utilities the tart
fall apples and makes excellent pie.
Green tomatoes are not as good a
source of vitamins as ripe ones, but
they contain sufficient nutriment to
make them worth while. Tomatoes
ripened in dark place after being re-
moved from the vine are richer in
vitamin c than green ones, although
they do not compare as favorably with
those ripened on the vines. II picked
green, tomatoes gradually develop Wit
amin G as they ripen.
