John’s Methods of Locomotion Have Varied Greatly With the Advances of Time. John Is n professional mnn. In 1900 he married and began housekeeping two miles from Ids office. Naturally he rode hack and fortli on the cars. When the first baby arrived. Ids young •.vife remarked: ‘‘John, now that you have one more to support, don't you think you hud better walk to and front your office, ant! save that carfare?" He walked. About two years Inter, Mrs. John iiiffttind of imbby how long It took him to walk from home to office, and he replied: “Generally, forty minutes." Thereupon she casually rot.mrkcd: “Seems to me your time Is worth more than five cents an hour. You ought to ride and save your time and make more .money." He rode. In 1913, she commented on John’s notIcealdy Increasing girth and suggested that Jie "as not getting enough exercise and ought to walk to Itis office mill buck. He walked. In li'17. Mrs. J. concluded that 1 with four children and nntch eltih life, I v>i,. ought to have an nutomohile. ami | .did. John continued to walk until one I levelling his h-ttcr hnlf. liming no club j engagement, remonstrated against tii.s cotitliiued walking. “People arc talking about you not riding to and from your office instead of using the ntaeldne.” He ulltned. Yesterday, site | phoned him at Ids office ami ultimately nnld: “With the price of gas ami tires so awfully high, we simply ran- j net afford to run the inneldne hack and I forth, nud besides I den t have the ' lime nowadays.” Hi* is riding the | “Todd electric" again.—Indianapolis News.

French Experimenter Declares He Has Had Great Success in Preserving Them That Way. Food Is spoiled by the action of numerous fungi and bacteria ; anti It is preserved by destroying the organisms by salt, sugar, alcohol, or other antiseptic, or by retarding microbe growth by cold or exclusion of air. A French experimenter, Gabriel Bertrand, reports considerable success in canning fruits in cold water, which keeps out tlte air. Cherries, red anti white currants, raspberries, plums, and whole and chopped apricots were thoroughly washed, placed in 42 ordinary fruit Jars, and covered with water —some of it direct from the tup. some of it boiled, and some of it distilled. | Every bubble of air being removed, the Jars were sealed air tight by strong rubber hands. Slight alcoholic fermentation appeared In some jars in a few days, and in some others during tl.e following weeks of summer and autumn, but 17 of the 42 Jars showed | no change at the end of 10 or 11 months. No jars showed lactic or putrefactive fermentation. Distilled water gave best results, chopped apricots kept better than whole ones; and it was concluded tlint the fruit acids extracted in the water by osmosis may have aided somewhat in resisting germ action.

Hard Task Ahead of Those Who Dream of Making Desert “Blossom Like the Rose.”

‘Those who have fought over the salt-encrusted plains of Mesopotamia know only too well what an enormous amount of expenditure will he necessary before such a de»ert will resemble anything like a rose,” says a correspondent. “Before the British engineers brought their electric plants the streets of those ancient cities of Btisra, Ainara, ami Bagdad were well-nigh Impaesuhle after the sun liail set. To the initiated, Arabian nights are Arabian nightmares. An Arab chieftain said one night in Bagdad: ‘We want the English. We ^ hale the Turk. He does nothing for | us. He gives us no education, no justice, no electric light, and no drains I' There was no doubt about it- f" r scarcely had he s|n>ken than down came a torrent of slope from the roof of a house above us. It reminded tne of tlie stories of Old Edinburgh. How much money, we wonder, has been expended in making our own deserts to blossom?"

Pile of Prairie Dogs. Evidence of Work by Representatives of the Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. Prairie dogs occupy more than 100.000,000 acres of public ami private lands, and wherever they occur in abundance they are exceedingly destructive to cultivated crops and to forage on the open range. In co-operation with the extension services of the agricultural colleges In Arizona, Colorado, Montana. New Mexico. North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming the campaign against these animals has been pushed aggressively by the biological survey, which recently issued its annual report from which the following facts are taken: In Arizona and New Mexico the state councils of defense joined actively in the work and contributed funds for the purpose. The participation of farmers and stockmen has been fuller than ever before, and the saving of crops and forage has been correspondingly great. During the year from 75 to 03 per cent <>f the prairie dogs nere destroyed on nearly ‘J.um.iHMl acres of privately owned crop and forage lands and on more than 200,()<x) acres of public domain, the latter making more than 8,700,000 acres of public lands which have been largely freed from these pests. In many places private landowners were so interested that they volnuteered their services to clear adjacent government lands, the bureau supplying tin* poison to he used in the work. With co-ojieratlon of this character it will he possible to clear large areas of the public domain at almost a nominal cost to the government.

Dollora a n d Cent*Counting it only in dollars and cents, how much did that last cold cost you ? A man may not always stop work when he has a cold, but perhaps it would be better if he did. It takes about ten days to get completely rid of a cold under the usual treatment. That time can be much shortened hy taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and proper care of your self, in fact, a bottle of this remedy in the house is a mighty good investment during the winter and spring months.

Sleiqhs Used in Land of No Snow—They Are Drawn By the Slow, Clumsy Ox The Island of Madeira, which lies off the west coast of Morocco, naturally never sees any snow. Nevertheless, sleighs are to he found there, and In place of the swift and graceful reindeer they are drawn hy the slow, clumsy ox. The streets of Madeira are paved with smooth round stones, and over these stones the runners of the sleighs travel quite freely. In fact, the motion of the sleigh is much smoother than would he that of a wheeled vehicle, because the runners readily pass over small depressions in tin* pavement without Jar. The passenger sleigh has upholstered rents and figured curtains to protect the occupants from the weather as well as from the gaze of the curious. The body Is mounted on springs and it Is said that riding in one of these primitive vehicles is very pleasant, although rather slow.

More and more it Is realized that the Bible is the only hook in the world which <‘1111 be applied to all classes, all conditions and all times. Written and compiled thousands of years ago. when the world was in its infancy and when Immunity was groping its way out of the darkness into the light, Its wonderful Images, its inspiring stories ami its uplifting spirituality make It as valuable an agent of civilization and tts powerful a factor in the uplift of humanity as ever it was. In fact, the Bilile is found to he the best known guide for social progress, for political construction and for Industrial peace. Its usefulness does not stop there. It is now employed to tench the lessons of patriotism and to inculeate the spirit of Americanism.— New York Herald.

Litter for the poultry house floor is not only necessary In plentiful quantities, but it should also he of satisfactory qualify. The two main points are to have a material that will not break tip Into chaff or powder too quickly, and which will not be Inclined to absorb moisture. Litter that breaks up quickly makes the house overly dusty and often causes disease of the nose or tlirnnt or sore eyes hy fine particles being thrown Into the hen’s eyes when scratching. Litter that absorbs moisture quickly is especially had in the winter months, when sunshine is scarce nnd has little drying power. Da nip or filthy litter often makes a good breeding place for disease germs. Litter should always be a material that Is digestible if eaten by the hens, for a certain amount Is invariably consumed. Wheat or rye straw is one of the best materials for the litter, as It Is tough nnd lasts well, although at the same time light enough in weight that the liens can easily kick It around. These straws also have the desirable quality of being slow to absorb moisture. Oat straw does not make quite such good 1 itlor. as it becomes damp too quickly. Alfalfa or clover hay does not make good litter, *s It is heavy, powders quickly and In dump weather absorbs moisture readily, becoming soggy even from the damp air in tin* house. Of course, this Is somewhat offset by the fact that the chickens will eat off the leaves of the hay, which Is good for them. For the floor of brooders or colony coops, short-cut hay Is one of the best ninterinls that ran he used when cut in two or three-inch lengths nnd spread on the floor to the depth of about an inch. Leaves of various kinds (suclt ns fall from the trees In the nulmnii) can be stored and used for litter.

RIGHT TO THE POINT Love nnd wine get credit for making fools of gome men who were horn fools. It’s tl.e easiest thing in Hie world for a man to forget the mean advantage he took of another.
