"THE SHIELDING SHADOW" phrase had beeu ambiguous. As she guzed at the apparition sheprayed : "Let me look at your face! Are you indeed Jerry, come back from ithe dead to save me from that man?" But there was no answer. Slowly 'the apparition faded, only it seemed Ito the girl that the look of burning Jiate in the eyes had been succeeded (by one of love. And somehow she seemed to see in [them the glance that Ravengar had feflven her that evening, when they Stood side by side outside the burnling cabaret. And she felt as If she . loved Jerry the more because of Rav Sugar. (To Be Continued.) o AS TO GOOD TEETH. Out of 330,179 school children examined in the city of New York in 1914, 194,207, or 58.8 per cent, suffered from defective teeth. This exceeded the sum total of all the other defects noted by nearly 80,000. Defective teeth impair general health and impede school progress. Disorders of the digestive tract, tuberculosis and various other diseases frequently are preceded by diseased con ditions in the mouth. There is r direct relationship between dental development and mental development and it is absolutely essential to good work in schools thut children's teeth be maintained in a healthy condition. The Public Health Service recommends that a good tooth brush be included in the list of Christmas presents for every American child and that its use be made a part of the daily training. If this reeommen dation is carried out the United Stat es will have more healthy children this year than last and their chances of growing up into useful, health> men and women will be increased. RHEUMATISM'S TERRIBLE TORTURES With Excess Uric Acid in Your System You Can Never Be Free From Rheumatism. Why? Because any exposure to cold, drafts, dampness chills youi blood; it strangulates; the uric acid chrystalizes and forms deposits of needle-like particles, which lodge in the joints and tissues. Result? Intense pain and Rheumatism.

The department is conducting a number of potato investigations, chiefly at Presque Isle, Me.; Greeley,| Colo.; Jerome, Idaho; and Norfolk, Va. One of the main features of the work is the development, from seed. of new varieties of potatoes specially suited for certain purposes and adapt eu to tne special growing regions in which such products can most economically be produced. A large num-1 ber of seedlings have been grown! and those of greatest promise only retained, of which there are some 300 considered of sufficient value to warrant further testing. These are being tried out in cooperation with the various State stations, and as soon as they have proven their worth in any locality arrangements will be made to establish the variety in the region to which it is best adapted. Experiments leading to a determination of the factors necessary for the production of disease-free pota* toes in western irrigated sections have shown that organisms capable of causing diseases of potatory are probably present in all desert lands, but that land previously in cultivn-j Uon with grains and alfalfa mav. _ ? ?r ' when disease-free seed is planted, produce a crop comparatively free from disease. In southern Idaho the experimnets on the control of powdery dry rot in storage have been completed and show that the losses can be prevented by careful harvesting to avoid mechanical injuries and b> keeping the storage cellar at a temperature between 35 degrees and 40 degrees F., with proper ventila-j tion. When it is necessary to store in poorly ventilated or improperly cooled houses the disease may be effectively cheeked by disinfection with corrosive sublimate or formaldehyde, provided this is done within 24 hours after digging. Further sur veys nave indicated that the powdery scab disease is confined to six sections of the United States, all of these being northern except one locality in Florida. In every case these areas are in sections with considerable rainfall, where soil conditions are such that poor drainage nrevails. It has been found that the disease can be lessened by the application of seed and soil treatments The cause of potato "leak" a rapid type of decay causing serious loss ir the Delta district of California, has been discovered and experiments have shown that it can be controlled hv caroful harvesting and sorting before shipment.?Annual Report of Rureau of Plant Industry.

C.?Carbon bisulphide is probably the best material for tae farmer to use in killing weevils. It is a colorless liquid, which on exposure changes into e. gas which is heavier than air, and' with an odor very similar to spoiled eggs. In handling this material, th" same care should be exercised as in handling gasoline, as an explosion will result if fire is brought too | near. To fumigate a barrel of seed j a half tea cup full of the liquid! should be placed on top of the com | in the barrel. Do not pour it overj the seed. Set the eup containing the) liquid on the seed, and then cover the barrel with old sacks with weights on the top to hold them in place. 1 It is necessary that the barrel be as near air tight as possible in order that the gas will not escape too soon, or before there has elapsed enough time for the weevils to be killed. The gas is heavier than air, and as soon as it forms, it settles down in the bottom of the barrel, i penetrating the whole pile of corn or j seed. The barrel should remain covered for about forty-eight hours,; after which the covering, but not the . wire gauze. All the weevils will be killed, and by examining the corn or sced>from time to time, other applications can be made as weevils ap- j pear. The Carbon Bisulphide can be; purchased in 1-pound cans from' most any drug stores. At present it is retailing for about fifty cents per pound, but this is of minor importance to that of loosing all the seed after taking the time and trouble to i select them. LEARN WHAT IT COSTS TO MAKE YOUR CROPS i Clemson College, S. C.?The first i of the year is a period of new reso| lutions, and to keep farm accounts ] would be a new resolution for nearly | all the farmers in South Carolina. j I If you sell a bale of cotton for $75, do you sell at a gain or a loss? Most farmers can only guess at the answer. The guess in this case might be correct, but there are many other cases in which the guess will be wrong. What combination of crops seems to be best for your farm ? In what ways car you cut down vsur. cost of production? Of marketing? Is your business better than it was last year, or the year before, or five years ago ? These are some of the things a farmer ought to try to find out about just as earnestly as a merchant or a banker tries to find out about similar things in his business, j Keep accounts. This does not mean estimating what labor, or machinery, or animal power "ought" to cost for a certain crop. It is not much better to make a guess at each of a few items and then add them than it is to make one guess at the whole cost. The thing to do is to keep a careful, day-to-day record oi every kind of expense. At the end of the year, after deducting expenses plus interest on the investment, plus value of products used in the home, one will have loft the farm labor income, which is generally taken as an indication of a man's success or failure. If a man dose not feel equal to i opening up a system of accounts for his whole farm, it is suggested that he keep the records of just one crop for the year, accounting for each detail. The result will probably open his eyes and lead him to be an allround business farmer another year.

C.?At the Victoria Mills, Rock Hill, S. C\, lives a former operative who owing to rheumatism was forced to give up mill work. While incurably deformed and bent lie i3 a wonderful exam- > p'e fur the community in which he lives. His physical condition from every appearance would warrant one in doubting the following statement resulting from intensive work on the one-acre tract about his home where he has lived for nine years. While previously fond of the soil he accomplished no extraordinary results until the Demonstration Work was placed at the Victoria Mill in 1913. Since that time he has made a splendid living for himself and family on the one acre of land worked by himself. His assets consist of a cow, for which he raised all feed, except meal and hulls, 7 peach 1 trees, 5 grape vines, 3 Himilaya berries, 5 fig bushes, a few raspberry 1 bushes and strawberry plants. Most remarkable of all is his sue- j cess with butter beans planted round his garden fence, and used for home1 bcautification and shade on trellises; at doors and windows of his home, i While the regular vegetable garden | is producing from one to three crop> at a time, the fence is producing butter beans, from which source alone the following statistics have been gathered: Sales of fresh butter beans during 1916 $15.00. Dried and sold 7 bushels of butter beans during 1916 , 33=601 Total $48.60 o Sloan's Liniment For Stiff Joints.

Paris.?Total prohibition throughout France of the consumption of such alcoholic beverages as whiskey, brandies and liquors has been decided upon by the government. This is shown by the text in the Journal's official statement today of Premier Briand's declaration yesterday before the chamber of deputies. The Premier said: "The government will ask you to give it the facility of solving by decree all questions of interest in regard to the national defense which the laws are too slow to regulate. It is apparently a grave question which can be regulated only in war time, the solution of which the life of the country and its salvation is the total suppression of the consump tion of alcohol." The Premier's remarks were greet ed with loud applause from many of the benches. Deputy Mayeras interjected: "In the army also?" "Yes, in the entire country," said the Premier. The use of the terms alcohol is understood in France to include such beverages as absynthe, which, however, has been suppressed, whiskies, brandies, and liquors, but not wines or beers. ?o Columbia has more than a fight ing chance to obtain a government nitrogen plant, in the opinion of the special committee from the Chamber of Commerce. o Trespass Notice.

Permits for the importation of 127,706 canaries were issued by the Bio'ogical Survey during the past year. The bureau of Soils of the department last year mapped in detai. the various soils of 24,749.440 acres in 7.3 areas in 32 States. Two thousand bluebill and 300 white-winged scoter ducUs were found to destroy 8.000 oysters a day in a single bay near Olympia, Wash. For correcting soil acidity, 1 ton of burned lime is practically equal to 1 1-2 tons of slaked lime or 2 tons of ground limestone, in case all three forms are of equal grade of purity. Successful methods for the control of the foot-rot of sweet potatoes, a serious and destructive disease in several States, have been developed by the specialists of the department. The Bureau of soils is cooperating with the cement mills, blast furnaces, and wool scourers with the object of enabling them to recover potash as a by-product wherever this proves to be commercially feasible. In 1904 the actual cash road and bridge expenditure in the United States averaged slightly less than $28 per mile of rural roads. In 1915 the cash road and bridge expenditure had increased to an average of $109 per mile of road. Practically no injury to alfalfa from suivtmer heat has been recordon in dry climates, but high temperatures combined with much moisture j in the atmosphere are so injurious that it is difficult to grow the crop successfully under these conditions. The pasturing of corn is especially applicable to semiarid regions. The dry soil is not injured by the animals, and very little corn goes to wa^ste or spoils by coming in contact with the soil. The stalks are left in good shape to prevent the drifting of snow. Tho most practicable means of controlling grasshoppers is by the use of poisoned-bran baits or the modified Criddle mixture.

The department during the last fiscal year, employed 634 people in cooperative work in the eradication and control of citrus canker in the Southern States. It has been found that a few thorough applications of crude petro-, leum to the interior of poultry houses will destroy completely the common red mite infesting chickens. The longest continuous flight of any bird is made by the golden plover. From Nova Scotia to the coast of South America the entire flight of 2,400 miles is accomplished without pause or rest. A device has been originated by specialists of the department which promises a more satisfactory and practical application of the hot-water treathient for the prevention of loose smut of wheat and barley. Extensive researches by plant pathologists of the department upon the development of crown galls upon plants show that th PQO npftllfl urUi/?^ I ? _ rviliVJt are caused by a bacillus, have very many points of resemblance to human cancer. (i? CANE SYRUP EXPERIMENTS. Experiments to improve methods for making cane syrup are in progress, according to the recently issued report of the Chief of the Bureau of chemistry The object of this work is to produce a high-grade cane sirup of a bright, uniform color which will not ferment or crystalize. As a result of laboratory work, a method has been developed, though not yet applied on a large# scale, by which a pure cane sirup can be made which will not crystalize or ferment. This method will be tried out experimentally on a commercial scale this fall, and if it proves satisfactory a description of the process wil be published by the Department of Agriculture.
