The actssn of Italy insures the final success of the Allies, without any shadow of doum ' Israel Zangwlll, author and philan? thropist, gives the following state, meat: "Machlavelll was the greatest Intui? ts n after Dante and Machlavclll would doubtless have approved Italy turn? ing her cloak.

"But we have lost the right to chooae our allies, an well as the power, and the more states that come in against Germany, the shorter this witches' gabbnth. The land of cul? ture has behaved so abominably thai even the Balkan states have grown respdttahle by comparison." She Gilbert Parker, statesman, nov? elist! |md historian, replies as follows. "Italy's entrance Into the war must make) an enormous difference to the field* of activity of Germany and Aus? tria. . The Teuton allies must alter the Disposition of their forces.

Girl's Tomato Club, Sumter County MISS MARY LEMMON, County Agent Prom my observation of the tomato ploti in the county for the past two years I have learned that the tomato plants stop bearing about the last of aUgtlSt A few of the club girls or their mothers have had the plants loaded with tomatoes from June to November. Perhaps those who have tomatoes now could put one-half bushel of lea! mold around each plant in July. It would be well to mix the leaf mold with well rotted stable manure and apply a half bush? el of the mixture to a plant. This mulch will protect the roots from the heat, keep them moist and furnish them food, It would be well for every ono who has tomatoes to try this Plan so that their vines will bear un? til frost. Several of our club girls arc plant? ing seed now in the open for a fall crop of tomatoes. They expect to shade the small plants. Others are planting seed in between plants. The seed could be planted in a cold frame now and transplanted during wet weather in July. Plants for a second crop could be secured from growing plants by burying the lower limbs un ti' they take root and then cutting them off from the plants and setting them out where desired. Strawberry Hoelpcs. Winthrop College, May 31.?The recipes are furnished by the Practice Home of Winthrop College. Strawberry Juice. Wash the berries and remove the caps. Put the fruit in the preserv? ing kettle and crush slightly. Heat slowly and boil gently for half an hour. Put a sieve or colander ov?r a large bowl and spread a square 01 cheese cloth over the sieve.

The only difference between syrups and juice is that in the syrup there must be at least* half as much sugar as fruit juice. These syrups arc used for 11avor ing ice creams and water ices. They also make a delicious drink, when two or three spoonfuls are added to a glass of ice water. When berries are scarce the pulps left I ehlnd in the sieve and cheese cloth may be turned into marmalade by adding a small amount of water and ttinnltlf through the sieve, measuring: and adding half as much sugar as pulp and cooking slowly un Untll unite thick.
