Apples for Menu

An "apple day may keep the
doctor away"-but ''an apple a day
is also the healthy way" At least,
that's what nutritionists at the Uni
versity of Nebraska college of ag-
riculture say in pointing out some of
the uses of the fruit. Not only are
apples good to look at, good to eat
but they are "good for you" AS
a breakfast fruit, apples may be
served raw, baked, or as apple
sauce. For dinner, apple sauce
with roast pork and apple stuffing
with roast goose cuts the richness
of the meat and poultry and is nu-
tritionally correct. A truly de-
licious meat dish may be prepared
by browning thick slice of ham
on both sides and covering with
thick layer of sliced apples. Cover
the apples with layer Of bread
dressing and bake in q moderate
oven for about one hour. Hot apple
pie with grated cheese on the crust
may be varied by using a graham
cracker crust with apple sauce fill
ing topped with whipped cream.

URGES SAFE JULY FOURTH

Two Baltimore wholesale fire.
works dealers filed "a bill last Tues
day asking the Court to restrain the
enforcement of the new fireworks
rules and regulations promulgated
by the Insurance Commissioner for
the purpose of saving life and pre-
venting injury to sight and limb,
this Fourth of July.
Mr.. Centrum made strenuous eff
forts to work out an agreement
among the dealers of fireworks to
police their own industry and pre-
vent the sale Of items, which the
manufacturers and distributors
themselves say are most dangerous.
Some of the most dangerous items
are made up In attractive and in
nocent looking forms. The merchant
and the manufacturers refused to
agree among themselves.
The case was to be heard before
Judge O'Dunne on Tuesday, June Is.
Save Children
Mr.. Centrum issued the following
statement:
Whatever the outcome OF the
litigation initiated by the distri-
butors to sell fireworks which they
themselves admit are dangerous, 1t
is to be hoped that patriotic and
humane merchants will refrain from
selling items of fireworks which are
menace to life, sight and limb.
Some of the items which have been
prohibited under the rules and re-
gulations are murderous in their
explosive force. Parents should con-
Germ themselves with the type of
fireworks children buy. cannot
conceive how anyone with a spark
of humanity would undertake to
distribute to little children some of
the lethal bombs, samples Of which
we have in our possession at the
State Insurance Commissio RS
office. 1t Is a shocking tragedy that
children should be blown up in war
fare. 1t is also shocking that in
times of peace little children should
be wantonly exposed to blindness,
suffering and death for profit. Real
patriotism should certainly call for
voluntary protection of our children
whatever the law may be-.

MILK rs NEEDED In DIET OF
YOUTH AND ADULT

At all times In the year, but espec-
tally now when there is surplus OF
milk, let us see that the milk pitcher
Is placed on the table and milk Is
used generously In delectable dishes
three times day, 1t is suggested by
Margaret M. McPheeters, specialist
in nutrition for the University Of
Maryland Extension Service. Miss
McPheeters says that milk prob
ably comes closest to being the per-
feet food and should be included in
the regular diet for both young and
old
Milk Is the one food that can be
used generously by all alike. 1t has
excellent protein for tissue building
and the calcium and PHOSPHORUS
aid In building strong, healthy bones
and teeth. A child that has plenty of
milk Is not likely to have ricketts,,
but we must begin the BODYBUILDING
job with the mother before birth
and continue 1t for tleeast Is or 20
years.
In addition to calcium and phos-
phorous, milk contains valuable
vitamins which are essential to
growth and the resistance necessary
in fighting diseases. Miss McPheeters
says that many diseases are warded
off by building up the system to a
point of strength and high resis-
lance.
While the pitcher Of milk is al
most indispensable, milk may also be
served generously In summer in
custards, soups, milk puddings and
frozen desserts.

shiagled Home Exterior

For those who like white house
with singled exterior finish, there
is on the market an edge-grain
single that comes ready-stained
with white primer coat and is free
from all defects. To bring out the
fine texture of the shingle, q second
coat that is midway between stain
and q paint should be applied. This,
also viii avoid the thick panty"
look often observed on many fin.
ished homes. If you are building
the popular Cape Cod design, gray
weathered look is attractive. Old
houses along the seashore weather
to an attractive shade of silver
gray. Modern weathering stains
accomplish in six months what ma
ture takes years to do, allowing the
home builder today to choose his
preference. Shingles for either the
roof or siding of any home come
treated with preservative stains in
solid and pastel colors permitting
great liberality in the owners Sc
lection.

Former Alabama Capital
Is Now q Ghost Town

Speeding tourists crossing a high
steel bridge over the Alabama river
on the highway that cuts through
that state, slow down to admire the
brilliant cascade Of green foliage
which In season covers the massive
eastern bluff. Then they speed on,
little realizing that on this bluff was
once situated Claiborne, pictur-
esque and fourishing city, the un-
official capital Of Alabama In its
prime.
There Chief William Weatherford,
whose Creek Indians slaughtered
the whites at Fort Minis In Amer
ica's greatest massacre in 1873,
leaped for his life with Gen. An
drew jackson close on his heels, ac-
cording to writer in the Birming-
ham News-Age-Herald. There the
cotton crop Of vast area in SOUTH
west Alabama was tumbled down
the bluff to wait boats which took
the bales to Mobile. There Pioneer
Sam Dale often visited and General
Lafayette was feted.
But passing years, the yellow
fever and the coming Of the rail-
roads spelled Claiborne's doom. To-
day Claiborne is a forest, a few
small farms and buildings, historic
graveyards. But even as a ghost
it is still an incorporated Alabama
municipality. The tourist ICONS by
without seeing the beautiful Dellett
mansion, sole remainder Of many
fine houses built when Claiborne
was bustling. Fires and decay
have gotten the rest.

Smokers Found to Cause
Most of Forest Fires

ST. PAUL, MINN.-Man, chiefly
his cigarette, was responsible for 81
per cent of the forest fires that have
denuded millions Of acres of land
in the lakes states timber area since
1928.
That is the conclusion of DR.. Ra-
phael Zon, University Of Minnesota
forestry official, in a report analyz-
ing some 73,740 forest fires over
Michigan, Wisconsin, and Mime
sofa.
'It is strange" DR.. Zon re-
marked, "that man, who profits
most from natures wooded wonder
land, is the most dangerous enemy"
Ninety-seven per cent of the fires,
he said, were due to human agen-
cies and could have been prevented.

Crickets and 'Hoppers
Thrive on Same Crops

Every spring hordes of Mormon
crickets and grasshoppers hatch
from eggs deposited during the pre-
vious summer and autumn, and then
begin their destructive attack upon
crops and virtually every type Of
vegetation throughout "a Western
states. The Mormon cricket Is a
serious pest, however, only in II
northern Rocky Mountain and
Plains states.
These insects are similar in size,
60 through the same stages of de-
velopment, and do their damage
during the growing season. But en-
tomologists of the federal depart
ment of agriculture point out that
because of physical differences their
methods of attack differ. Mormon
crickets are unable to fly. They at
tack on foot. Most injurious grass
hoppers also migrate to some ex-
tent on foot but after reaching ma
turity some species are active fiiers
and migrate by flight in great
swarms, destroying vegetation
wherever they alight.
The most effective method Of COM
batting Mormon crickets Is by dust
ing the migrating hordes with So
dunn arsenite. Barriers with pens
to trap the crickets are an effective
supplementary control. Millions of
crickets pile on top of each other
in the pens and are killed with a
sodium arsenite dust or crude oil
solution. Another method, similar
in principle, is to dig trenches to
trap the crawling cricket army.
Hoppers are controlled by feed
ing them poison bait. The most eff
fective method is to broadcast a
moistened mixture Of bran, sawdust
and liquid sodium arsenite. Wher-
ever practicable this bait is applied
on egg bed areas to poison the young
hoppers and thus prevent migration.
Last year the federal government
spent approximately $2,200,000 in
controlling grasshoppers. This was
supplemented by contributions from
cooperating states, estimated at
SLIGHTLY in excess of 81 .309, 1000.
The cost of controlling Mormon
crickets during the same year was
nearly 100000, cooperating states
contributing $201 ,000 Protection was
afforded to 1,375,564 crop acres.
Crops on only 12,935 acres were de-
stroyed.

Suffer Tragedy
Traced by Kin
Relative Tells How Victim
OF Gold Rush in '49
Lost Vast Fortune.

BOWLING GREEN, OHIO.-The
bitter tragedy of Gen. Johann
August Suffer-, famed as the owner
of Suffers Mill, where gold was first
discovered in California, has been
brought to light again by Marjorie
Suffer Of Bowling Green, sopho-
more at Bowling Green State uni
versity here.
Miss Suffer, who Is the great
great-great-niece of General Suffer,
remembers stories that her grand
father, Henry Suffer, told about her
illustrious uncle. Bit by bit she
has pieced together a tale Of strug-
gle and disiilusionment.
Strange to say, the discovery Of
gold in 1848 and the rush of 40
ruined General Suffer, smashing the
wealth that he had been piling up
for two decades. His unsettled es-
tate, held in trust today by the state
of California, reputedly amounts to
a cool 100000.
Sailed Under False Name.
"My great-uncle left Switzerland
for the United States in 1803," Miss
Suffer said. ''He left without a
passport and under a false name,
walking out on his wife and family.
With pack horse he went to the
West and settled on land granted to
him by Mexican governors. Soon
the fertile soil yielded riches in
grain, cattle, fruit and vegetables.
After several years, Miss Suffer
said, her uncle owned the sites Of
San Francisco, Sacramento, Rio
Vista and Venicia. He had his own
roads, tanneries, harness shops and
mills and hired several hundred
laborers, many of them shanghaied
from Honolulu.
He owned the first steam driven
mill and was the first multi-million-
aire in the United States. All Of
this happened before gold was dis
covered.
Then came the mad, hysterical
rush for the precious metal. ALI OF
General Suffers workers quit and
went out to dig up his fields, burn
his orchards and to stake claims on
his property. Soon the vast estate
was overrun with mobs.
Won Suit Against State.
"My uncle brooded over his mis-
fortunes and decided to sue the state
of California for taking over his
roads, bridges and irrigation bitches
as public property" Miss Suffer
said. 'He demanded $25, 000, 900
from the government and brought
suit against 1921 citizens for tres
passing on his private property. He
won the case and rushed to WASH
ington to have it confirmed.
SIN the capital he was ridiculed,
called crazy man and became the
goat of the city. He was sent from
one department to another on wild
goose chase. For several years he
stayed in Washington and, as dra-
matte climax, fell dead on the steps
of the Capitol one Sunday after
noon. His estate was still unset
tied"
Lack of Identification and a pass
port have kept lawyers at stand
still in settling the estate. Relatives
cannot touch the vast fortune and it
probably will remain in the trust of
the state of California. Although
Miss Suffer believes that her uncle
had approximately $82,000,000, he
died ruined man, his great for
tune destroyed by the gold rush that
brought riches to others.
