Representative Mason of Illinois *ald In Chicago the otber day: ' "One way to keep down prices La for every family to net up its own vegetable garden. but the trouble ia that moot of us ure as Ignorant of gardening bh the chap who wrote to the seedarnan : " 'As I wish to do my bit for the allies by growing my own provisions on a strip of rooky ground back of my house, please send me, f. o. b, one dozen potato seeds, one bee with hive ronjplete. one dozen fruit seeds as* sorted, ten square yards of grass, one path, six feet of wall flowers with wall, and one dozen flour plants. 1 am especially particular about the grass, which should be green, and not the brown kind I aee in so many gar dens.* " Fruit- Eating aa a Water 8upp4y. I Most fruits contain from 75 to 90 per cent water, and a balance of woody fiber or cellulose, fruit sugar and minerals. Thus the free use of fruit dally Insures a greater supply of water to the body, says the Popular Bdence Monthly. The cellulose of the fruit supplies bulk and a mechanical stimulation whlrh promotes waste elimination. Add fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes and most berries, contain a cer tain chemlral compound called "vita mines," In a very stable form. The#* j vitamins are believed to purify the blood and to prevent scurvy and vari ous skin diseases. FOR 8ALK ? Show ca*e*. meat ftlieer, wwles and refrigerator Address P. I O. Box 8, C'anHl**n, S. C.

Ail observant traveler In China will not fail to notice when purchasing ar ticle* of dally necessity. that there are ooljr two classes of articles ? the rnort expensive and elaborate and the cheap rest and crudest. This la bnt a proof of the absence of a middle das#, Rajs East and West New*. A fox fur gown worth a thousand dollars or a giant herb rained at a hundred dollars is not at all uncom mon Is China, but practical and well made articles that would be wel comed bj middle-class men are hardly obtainable. Those who admire Chi nese handicrafts as achievements be yond rtVe power of Japanese artisans do bo because they hare only seen ar ticles intended for upper-class custom ers willing to spend countless dollars upon luxuries. Those, on the other hand, who declare Chinese artisans hopelessly crude, are men who have j seen only the cheap articles Intended j for the masses. Japanese who judge the ancient arts and Industries nf China by the be*t productions of the Han. Tang. Sung, Yuan, Ming and Cfclng dynasties that have been preserved here, forget that crude articles of common use have never crossed the sea of Japan and that only articles of the best kind came here as merchandise during the j many centuries of commercial Inter" ' course between the two countries. Alaska Women Pretty. A visitor remarked about the pood looks of Alaskan women, and the fact that they dress with taste. Of course, our Northern women are pretty. "Why shouldn't they be?" queries the Anchor age Times. They enjoy absolutely pure air, drink water as fresh as that from a mountain spring, get plenty of exercise, and take an active part In community affairs. They are cosmo politan the same as the men are. and well-read and well-informed. As every one knows, there is nothing eo beauti ful as good health. It Is a joy even to see an Alaskan girl swinging along with a free, firm tread Instead of the mincing step of her sister In the states, who gives the Impression she Is step ping on eggs. The Alaskan girl looks you squarely In the eye, gives you a frank hand-clasp and 1s sure of herself at all times. Cures for Sore Throat. One teaspoonful of pulverized sul phur and two teaspoonfuls of granu lated sugar (taking one teaspoonful once In four hours) will cure a sore throat. Spreading a cloth with lard and sprinkling it with turpentine will also cure a sore throat or a cold In the chest. Burn sulphur on an old shovel or dust pan and carry It through the rooms in a home and this will prevent others from catching cold or sore throats off one who has them. Gargle salt and tartar for sore throat. ? Use mustard paste made of one part mustard to three or four parts flour ! for a cold or any form of larynx or throat or chest colds. * : Encourage Stammering Child. Never laugh nt a child who Btaro mers. Rather, seriously try to help him while he Is a child, for the habit grows, ! Make him stop and v rest a moment, then have him repeat what he was say ing, very slowly, even resting between words. This alone often corrects the trouble. When yon see that your child Is embarrassed, do not hurt him, but wait, smiling encouragement, and when he Is mora at his ease, say. softly, "now I am rr^dy to listen." juwt as If yon, and n<H he, were the cause of the de lay.- -Buffalo Newa.
