Hi eh School Band Tht re arc some twenty instruments in Camden, scattered among ;ho.-o who once belonged to the Camden band, but are the property of the city of Camden and tho Waterce mill. We are pushing a movement to secure instruments for our Camden high school, so that we can have what many of the other up-to-date high schools have?a fine students' band. We wish all who have such instruments in their possession would have them available so that we may i collect them. We want this done, so I that we may know what instruments, if any, we shall have to secure. If there are privately owned instruments, we wish to ascertain what these might be bought for.?C. F.

Secretary. 1- 14-27-tf i How Cold and Warm Air Brings Thunderstorms There are two kinds of thunderstorms, according to Dr. \V. J. Humphreys of the United States weather bureau, who tells how' to distinguish them. The difference in the. two kinds of storms Is wind. One kind of thunderstorm happen^ only when the day Is more or less windy. The other kind happens only tit times when there is little or no wind. I?oth kinds, however, are created by cold air above and hot, moist air below. The warm air rises lijto the cold air where the cold condenses some of the moisture X. in the rising air, causing rain, lightning and other storm features. Where the difference between the two kinds comes in is in how these strata of cold and warm air are provided. The windy kind occurs when winds drive an upper layer of cold air across a layer of warm air near the ground, while the calm type usually happens when heating of the ground by the sun creates a layer of over-heated air which then rises into the cold air because it becomes lighter. How Wood Carving Hai Declined ! llow old is the art of wood carving? is a question that is answered by the simple statement that it Is almost a lost art. Wood carving Is one of the ancient arts. There are splendid examples of wood carving by the Japanese of the Eighth century. There are remnants of Scandinavian carving dating from the Ninth and Tenth centuries. They are in low relief and follow the same form of design as Is found on Celtic stone crosses. Of the Norman period In England only a few isolated pieces remain. The Fifteenth century was productive of the iinest quality and of the largest amount of decorative Gothic woodwork. Many churches were built during this period and some elaborately decorated. The most noticeable feature of the work of this period was that carving became flatter and tracery was extensively used. Since the Eighteenth century wood carving nil over Europe and in America has declined. How Egyptian? Farm Salt How salt is gathered on sticks In Egypt has recently become an interesting topic. Great tracts of land are used where sen water can be introduced. The sticks are planted in a formntlon at equnl distance from each other. The sea water is allowed to enter and to cover the sticks completely. The locks are then closed and the water, thus standing, gradually evaporates. During this process the salt clings to the sticks and by the time the entire evaporation has taken place each stick has many Inches of salt around It. The salt is then collected and the process repeated. How Fatt People Read Such tests as have been made Indicate that there Is considerable variation. depending upon the nature of the contests that arc being read, the type used, and other factors. Hucy found that adults varied In the rate of readI in- silently from J "> to p ? words per I second at their ordinary rate*. When reading as rapidly as po-xl tin- ia.es varied from T." to l.tr. word* ;?-r -ec ond.

Vegetables also contain vitamins which have a direct connection with growth and good health. They contain woody fibers or cellulose and starch and sugar which ' give energy. Vegetables also give variety to the diet and are often used to flavor oth- j er foods. They are so very valuable to the diet that we cannot afford to go one day without eating some veg- ; etables in addition to potatoes. The i young fresh vegetables are superior j in flavor, texture and contain more i vitamins. But the best of vegetables can be j ruined by cooking, therefore great i care should be taken to preserve the , original food value. The loss of food . value in cooking is due to the fact j that some of the vitamins, mineral salts, proteins and sugars dissolve in the water, therefore use as little j cooking water as you can, and serve j the liquid with the vegetables, or . else in soup, sauce or gravy. Cook the vegetables only long enough to make it tender. Overcooking makes the vegetables flabby, soft or mushy ' and causes a great loss of the nutri- j tive values. From the standpoint of food value, baking a vegetable in its skin or in a casserole is the lx>t .-ooking method but it requires more fuel than to ? of-the-stove cooking. Boiling requires less fuel but there is a greater loss of food value. Panning very economical. Cut the vegetable.into .>mall pieces ami cook in a flat covered pan with a little fat to prevent sticking. The water evaporatesand the cooking time is so short that there is very little loss of vitamins. Wo cook our vegetables to increase their palatability. Since cooking may . destroy as high as fifty per cent of , the mineral and vitamin content we j should learn how to make vegetables , palatable without such destruction, j It can be done if the following suggestions are considered: Cook ve-g-etabl^i^'soon after they j are gathered. Cook as soon as prepared and serve j as soon as cooked. Vegetables cut up and allowed to stand in water lose their "protective! properties." Out vegetables lengthwise rather than crosswise. Cook vegetables whole wheh possible, and then remove the peeling af-1 ? , ? ' -J*"'? ? 6 fc terward. 1 Scraping is not as destructive as paring as much of the mineral and vitamin is very near the skin and is ' lost when paring. Strongly flavored vegetables as cabbage, cauliflower ami turnips are best boiled with cover off. Greens are best cooked in the water which clings to the leaves, and cooked until tender. If cooked without a cover the green color will he better preserved. The addition of soda to vegetables to hasten their softening causes the destruction of the vitamins. When boiling vegetables use only a smalll amount of water (except in case of strongly flavored vegetables) and use the water left in making soups and sauces. The following is a good recipe for panned new cabbage: 2 quarts chopped cabbage, salt and pepper, 4 to 6 tablespoons bacon fat. Put fat in a frying pan, add caJbbage, cover to keep in the steam, cook slowly and stir occasionally. When the cabbage has lost some of its crispness but sti|l is green, sprinkle i with pepper and salt and serve at once. The salad is an excellent means of incorporating more vegetables in the diet and acceording to good health rules a salad should be served at least once a day. The following combinations make palatable salads: Sliced radishes, cucumbers, pepper, onion and tomato on head lettuce. French dresisng. 1 cup cold string beans, small on-j ion cut fine, half dozen thinly sliced radishes. 1 cup lima beans, half cup celery, pimento, Cooked dressing. 1 cup chopped cabbage, half cup grated raw carrot,-', sliced onion, chopped celery or parsley.

To the biologist flowers ore organs of reproduction among the highest group of plants. At the center of a typical flower occurs tho flask shaped "pistil." Within tho swollen base of this structure are small "ovules" which are destined to become seeds. Next come the brightly colored "petals," and beyond them the green "so pals." Kither wind or insects (attracted by the bright petals and seeking the "nectar" which the flower secretes) may transfer the pollen grains from the stamens to the ,* sticky upper end of the pistil (of the same or of a dl(Toretit flower)! /The pollen grains then grow tubes which eat their way down through the pistil to the ovules. A male sperm which has been carried within the pollen tube fertilizes the female egg which is embedded In the ovule. Th$ fertilized egg forms an embryo plant while the outer tissues of the ovule form the outer regions of the seed. Under proper conditions this embryo within the seed can grow to produce the mature plant. 1 CHILEflN_I | NATURAL NITRATE ?
